A final reason for my decision is this: ever more plain in the words and attitudes of many is the close connection between the choice of celebrations according to the liturgical books prior to Vatican Council II and the rejection of the Church and her institutions in the name of what is called the \u201ctrue Church.\u201d One is dealing here with comportment that contradicts communion and nurtures the divisive tendency \u2014 \u201cI belong to Paul; I belong instead to Apollo; I belong to Cephas; I belong to Christ\u201d \u2014 against which the Apostle Paul so vigorously reacted.[23]<\/sup>\u00a0In defense of the unity of the Body of Christ, I am constrained to revoke the faculty granted by my Predecessors. The distorted use that has been made of this faculty is contrary to the intentions that led to granting the freedom to celebrate the Mass with the\u00a0Missale Romanum<\/i>\u00a0of 1962. Because \u201cliturgical celebrations are not private actions, but celebrations of the Church, which is the sacrament of unity\u201d,[24]<\/sup> they must be carried out in communion with the Church. Vatican Council II, while it reaffirmed the external bonds of incorporation in the Church \u2014 the profession of faith, the sacraments, of communion \u2014 affirmed with St. Augustine that to remain in the Church not only \u201cwith the body\u201d but also \u201cwith the heart\u201d is a condition for salvation. , Lettera del Santo Padre Francesco ai Vescovi di tutto il mondo per presentare il Motu Proprio \u00abTraditionis Custodes\u00bb sull\u2019uso della Liturgia Romana anteriore alla Riforma del 1970 (vatican.va)<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

What I saw in the Latin Mass was an unparalleled reverence for the sacred. It hammered home, for the first time, that I was part of a celebration of \u201cthese sacred mysteries.\u201d It made me bitter and arrogant. It made me think I had the more ancient, therefore holier, therefore better way to practice my faith. A more widespread celebration of the Traditional Latin Mass was an initiative that \u201cintended to recover the unity of an ecclesial body with diverse liturgical sensibilities,\u201d Pope Francis explained in\u00a0his letter explaining his motivations for the motu proprio \u201cTraditionis Custodes.\u201d<\/a>\u00a0However, in effect it \u201cwas exploited to widen the gaps, reinforce the divergences, and encourage disagreements that injure the Church, block her path, and expose her to the peril of division.\u201d When I read those words, I knew it was true in my own personal spiritual life. It is a great sadness that it was exploited. And if the pope and the bishops around the world who responded to his questionnaire on this topic saw this division throughout the church, Francis was right to respond. But, you may object:\u00a0I<\/em> am not a smug pseudo-schismatic who hates the pope, and I love the Latin Mass! Here is the difficult thing being asked of you by the Holy Father: There are many good reasons to love the Latin Mass, but given that it has become a demonstrable cause of disunity and rancor within the church, we have to look for the gifts it gives elsewhere.

If Pope Francis can repeal the Motu Proprio of Pope Benedict, the next Pope can repeal what Pope Francis did today. Shall the TLM then become the Catholic Church equivalent of the USA\u2019s Mexico City policy? Something that is repeatedly reversed and reinstated every time a new administration from the other party comes to power? Isn\u2019t the Church supposed to not work like that? Isn\u2019t that the thing Pope Francis claims to be against in this very document, when he cites the \u201cI belong to Apollos, I belong to Paul\u201d line from the Bible?

Many bishops are responding in a pastoral way to the new motu proprio from Pope Francis significantly restricting the celebration of the Extraordinary Form of the Mass. They\u2019re trying to understand the situations of their own people and trying to see how the motu proprio applies.<\/div>\n

This is most unfortunate. The motive for the motu proprio is said to be to promote Catholic unity. Accusing bishops trying to help their people of being dissidents and anti-Pope Francis isn\u2019t helping unity but undermining it.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Joe Grabowski<\/span><\/a> notes that some advocates of the traditional latin Mass deserve the criticism Francis gives them in his motu proprio.

[[[ My guess is that really freeing the Latin Mass would both strengthen some rightwing communities by giving them more places to gather, but also dilute them by giving them more places to gather.

First impressions in the American conservative Catholic media sphere are very negative, as anyone could have guessed, but this is a long game. Yes, there will be lots of complaining now, and people saying they will just join the Society of St. Pius X. Such heat is the unfortunate cost of strongly re-committing the Church to following the path laid out by the Second Vatican Council. Long-term, I hope more traditional Catholics will return to their parishes and the reformed liturgies and not leave. Francis, echoing Benedict, laments the liturgical abuses that have been rampant since the Council, whereby some priests feel they can say whatever they want in place of the written texts. Like many Catholics, this has often vexed me personally, as there is comfort and real value in the rituals, which are jarringly undermined by random (and often confusing or bizarre) ad-libbing. If the Tridentine adherents return to the reformed rite as Pope Francis wants, maybe they can help us all to avoid such silliness and celebrate the reformed Mass in the vernacular in a profound and beautiful way. We Roman Catholics, with God\u2019s help, have to try to put aside our differences and worship at the same altar, using the same unique rite.

At New Liturgical Movement<\/a>, Gregory DiPippo noted that the motu proprio was released on the feast of Our Lady of Mount Carmel, and that \u201cwhen the mendicant orders like the Carmelites emerged in the 13th century, as part of the on-going reform movement within the Church, they were attacked on various grounds by representatives of the more established ecclesiastical institutions, who did not like to have their own decadence and complacency challenged by the evangelical vitality of the new movement. Semper idem.\u201d \u201cIf you love the Church and the traditional liturgy, take up a Marian devotion, if you don\u2019t already have one, and make it your intention to ask the Virgin\u2019s intercession for the untying of this knot of gross injustice. Likewise, let us continually invoke the intercession of St Joseph, whom we honor with the title Patron of the Universal Church, which stands in the direst need of his mighty protection, and of St Pius V, whose Missal remains the most authentic expression of the Roman Church\u2019s\u00a0lex orandi<\/i>.\u201d Christine Rousselle <\/span>\u2013Archbishop Cordileone: Traditional Latin Mass Will Continue in San Francisco|<\/a>(<\/span>\u00a0National Catholic Register (ncregister.com)<\/a><\/p>\n

When I saw reports that Pope Francis might issue his restrictions on the Tridentine Latin Mass on July 16, feast of Our Lady of Mount Carmel \u2026 I smiled.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
I doubt Francis had any higher meaning in mind for the release date, but as any Carmelite with a sense of history knows, the alleged apparition of Our Lady of Mount Carmel to St. Simon Stock was suppressed by Church authority. The Church nearly suppressed the cult of St. Simon himself, but then decided that Carmelites could continue to celebrate his feast so long as references to the apparition were dropped from the liturgy.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
So, in essence, it\u2019s very fitting for the announcement of Francis\u2019s motu proprio restricting use of the TLM to be released on Our Lady of Mount Carmel\u2019s feast day. Michelle Arnold<\/strong><\/a><\/span><\/div>\n

The worst-case scenario would see the fractured groups of radical Traditionalist incorruptibles join forces with the SSPX irreducibles and overtake the moderate traditional groups entirely, while bishops enthusiastically exercise their new inquisitorial powers to punish the incorrigible laity who cling to their old books and purge the seminaries of any man who gives the slightest fleeting glance at tradition, and Roman offices broadly interpret the new law to mean more than it says and also more than it doesn\u2019t say. In fact, the new\u00a0motu proprio\u00a0<\/i>is silent on the status of other Rites like the Dominican, Benedictine, Carthusian, or the Gallican Rites \u2013 Braga, Mozarabic, Carthusian, even the Ambrosian \u2013 and all that stands in the way of a general destruction is the absence of an authoritative interpretation from the Council for Legislative Texts.
