[Canticle_of_Deborah]

Padre Pio received a dispensation to continue saying the Old Mass. There is one account he said one transitional New Mass then broke down in tears and never said it again. He did not say the New Mass, contrary to modernist wishful thinking.

He did not embrace the "reforms" of VII. In fact, he spoke out against them and favored shutting down the council.

Listen to his close Aide. He was there --- and knew the mind of the Saint and especially his loyalty to Rome, like his father / brother St Francis.

You guys are almost funny in your scrambling denial.
