THE CONTROVERSY OVER THE CATHOLIC LATIN MASS

 THE CONTROVERSY OVER THE CATHOLIC LATIN MASS

VERITAS - BLOG "CINOPS BE GONE" SUNDAY, JULY 18, 2021

 

    POPE FRANCIS MADE THE DECISION TO RESTRICT THE MASS IN LATIN AND DEPEND IT ON THE BISHOP'S PERMISSION. IT WAS A POLITICAL DECISION BY A JESUIT POPE AND NOT A RELIGIOUS ONE. IN MY MIND AGAIN, IS POPE FRANCIS' LOYALTY TO THE JESUIT ORDER FIRST OR THE UNIVERSAL CATHOLIC PAPACY?

 

    I DO NOT BELIEVE THAT ST. DOMINIC OR ST. THOMAS AQUINAS WOULD CONCUR WITH  POPE FRANCIS.

 

George H. Kubeck, O.P.

 

P.S.

    POPE FRANCIS HAS VERY SERIOUS PROBLEMS IN GERMANY. THIS IS ONE JESUIT DISTRACTION FROM WHAT IS HAPPENING THERE LIKE BLESSINGS OF HOMOSEXUAL UNIONS AND WOMEN PRIESTS. (ghk)

 

P.P.S. LIFESITE NEWS: FRI. JULY 16, 2021 - 'SCANDAL,' BOMB,' 'CRUELTY' TRADITIONAL-LOVING CATHOLICS REACT TO POPE'S LATIN MASS RESTRICTIONS:

   

1.      ONE AMERICAN BISHOP, ARCHBISHOP SALVATORE CORDILEONE OF SAN FRANCISCO, PROMISED THE FAITHFUL THEY WOULD STILL BE ABLE TO ACCESS THE OLD MASS IN HIS JURISDICTION. "THE MASS IS A MIRACLE IN ANY FORM: CHRIST COMES TO US IN THE FLESH UNDER THE APPEARANCE OF BREAD AND WINE," HE TOLD CNA TODAY. "UNITY UNDER CHRIST IS WHAT MATTERS. THEREFORE THE TRADITIONAL LATIN MASS WILL CONTINUE TO BE AVAILABLE HERE IN THE ARCHDIOCESE OF SAN FRANCISCO AND PROVIDED IN RESPONSE TO THE LEGITIMATE NEEDS AND DESIRES OF THE FAITHFUL."

 

 2.      LITURGICAL SCHOLAR DR. PETER KWASNIEWSKI SAID THAT POPE FRANCIS'S OVERTURNING OF SUMMORUM PONTIFICUM WAS "UNPRECEDENTED."

    In the whole history of the Church, there has never been so dramatic a rejection of a Pope's predecessor. Never. This is unprecedented, and I can say that quite confidently."

 

3.     Gregory Di Pippo, the editor of the online New Liturgical Movement, told LifeSiteNews that Pope Francis's accusation that Catholic who love the Latin Mass have rejected Vatican II is untrue. "It's a falsehood, and you can quote me saying that," Di Pippo said.

 

4.    A historian of law and a convert to Catholicism Dr. Ilya Kotlyar criticized the new motu propio in Thomistic terms. "The document also does not seem to be written particularly well from the legal standpoint, a scandal to the Holy See and two millennia of Canon law," he said.

 

5.     American priest-blogger Father John Zuhlsdorf, "Father Z" wrote that the motu propio was an insult. "Traditionis custodes ... effectively the entire pontificate of Benedict XVI and the pastoral provisions of John Paul II and all the people they have affected," he wrote.
