A friend told me about this quote. So, I looked it up!Cardinal Heenan addressed the Synod the day after the experimental Mass had been presented and said he did not know the names of those who had proposed the new Mass but it was clear to him that few of them had ever been parish priests.
"At home," he said, "it is not only women and children but also fathers of families and young men who come regularly to Mass. If we were to offer them the kind of ceremony we saw yesterday we would soon be left with a congregation of women and children."

October 1967. Good quote... but could have used some context.

If you look at the REST of the passage, you'll find that the good Cdl. was advocating a continuation of the "Low Mass".
Which happens to fly directly against the teachings of Pius X and XII, not to mention B-16.
