I truly think it is a genuine sign of renewal that the ample cut of chasuble returned to the church in the the late 19th century. I happen to prefer more the ample cuts to the classical "roman" ones for a number of reasons, but I would never go so far as to say there are not a great multitude of Roman chasubles that are beautiful and edifying. They should be used alongside the more ample ones. What really bothers me is when Traditional Catholics reject the more ample vestments as being "modern",when in reality it is the other way around.
