Karen Hall over at "Some Have Hats" has linked to a YouTube clip of Fr. Fessio talking about the motu proprio, Pope Benedict XVI, and the liturgy; I wasn't aware of them until now. Turns out there are at least four parts to the talk. I've linked them below, hopefully in the correct order. If you know of others, please alert me:
Part One:
Part Two:
Part Three:
Part Four:
I found them, but I didn't have enough of a brain to realize that they weren't all the same!
I searched for several other "Chosen Dozen" Jesuits, but Fr. Fessio was the only one I could find immortalized thusly.

I have just finished watching these and found them very informative. They served to further affirm my amazement, though, at the outright hostility and/or the choosing by clergy to ignore any attempt of parishioners who request a Latin Mass. In talking to a lot of people my conclusion is that it is not so much a return to the TLM that is wanted but, rather, a reverence for the Mass itself. As a priest once told me, it is "not about the priest". I agree -- I wish more priests did.

Hello Carl,
Fr. Fessio has hit on many of these points before, but it never gets old. Thanks for posting it.

These were originally on airmaria.com, which is not very well organized and its search feature is fairly useless. However, if you look under Liturgy http://www.airmaria.com/?cat=67 you will find the last two parts ( on the CDF Document and Objections to the Motu Proprio).
It would be nice to have links to the whole "mini-series" in one location.
