Bishop de Galarreta ordains Chaldean priest
Important Traditional Catholic news from France
1. On July 2, Bishop Alfonso de Galarreta ordained Fr. Daniel Sabur to the priesthood in Saint-Nicolas-du-Chardonnet. He will celebrate the ancient Chaldean Liturgy every Sunday for a Chaldean community that will meet in the Society's chapel in Saint Mathias de Pontoise. On the very next day he celebrated his first Mass (Chaldean Liturgy) in that chapel with 200 faithful (mostly Chaldeans) in attendance. It is the first-ever Chaldean Rite community under the SSPX. (Source: La Porte Latine,)
As we have noted here in Rorate, the Chaldean Rite has undergone extensive "modernization", a process accelerated by the reigning Chaldean Patriarch, Louis Raphael. Naturally Fr. Sabur will be celebrating the Chaldean Rite as it was before the changes inspired by Vatican II.
(NB: Chaldeans are Catholics; their non-Catholic counterparts are conventionally called "Assyrians" and in older times, Nestorians.)

Did +de Galarreta (SSPX) also receive permission to ordain the Caldean Priest? Did the Chaldean Patriarch know? Is Rome helping the SSPX to restore tradition in the Chaldean Rite against the wishes of the Patriarch? Doesn't make sense. Also, the Chaldeans have their own Rite of Ordination.

Chaldeans, by being part of Rome, underwent their own liberalization like the Maronites and the Latin rite. Shame because like the Maronites and the Latin Rite, it's a venerable liturgy. Any restoration to tradition is good.
