Author Topic: No additional Latin Masses says Archbishop - Universae Ecclesia (Read 1001 times)

Well folks, here in the UK I've already applied to the local parish priests and had my request rejected. My family just isn't enough of a 'stable group.'

"I have no intention of ever saying a Mass in Latin either in public or private. Phone St. Catherines Stanifield Lane Farington 01772 421174"

Nice, Father!

I then went to the Archbishop and argued back & forth - all in writing of course - & all the Latin masses we have are what we'll get.

He still thinks travelling outside the parish boundaries is ok. Is this generous provision? Not to me it ain't.

Until my family can ask and have the Latin Mass in the local parish to fulfill the Sunday Obligation, wherever we may be, for all practical reality the Latin Mass has in no way been liberated, freed or expanded in any way.

I asked what a 'stable group' meant and he simply did not answer the question.

Universae Ecclesia doesn't apply here I guess.

Onward and upward ... the battle continues ...

Surprise, surprise.

This isn't going to get better. They're simply trying to "inculturate" us into the Novus Ordo, and we're either going to go for it, or we're not.

Don't forget Quo Primum:

"Furthermore, by these presents [this law], in virtue of Our Apostolic authority, We grant and concede in perpetuity that, for the chanting or reading of the Mass in any church whatsoever, this Missal is hereafter to be followed absolutely, without any scruple of conscience or fear of incurring any penalty, judgment, or censure, and may freely and lawfully be used."

Welcome to the hardcore persecution of the Church.

I agree that the bishop is hardly being generous as UE requires. However, the parish priest has no obligation to celebrate a Latin mass, does he? Is he even capable of it?

They will ignore UE and Rome will do nothing (except, perhaps, issue yet another toothless instruction, etc). This is the way it has been for more than 50 years.

Exactly and to think there are still idiots who set foot in a conciliar church. :barf:
