Archbishop Alexander K Sample has said. Speaking during a Pontifical High Mass in the Extraordinary Form at the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception in Washington DC, Archbishop Sample praised Pope Benedict XVI for the “great gift” of Summorum Pontificum – the document that allowed the traditional Mass to be more widely celebrated – and said the “reverence and sacredness” of the old Mass would enrich the Novus Ordo. The Archbishop of Portland, Oregon also noted how many young people were in the congregation, saying: “You are a sign—a great sign—of encouragement and hope for the Church tossed about these days on the troubled waters of secularism and relativism. As they say: you ‘get it.’”
The sermon – which was broadcast live on EWTN – has been widely shared on social media. See:- http://catholicherald.co.uk/news/2018/05/02/video-archbishops-sermon-praising-old-rite-goes-viral/ for the full story.
