Misleading headline. The priest was instructed not to “ad-lib” during the mass and the priest refused. End of story.
This sort of discipline is long overdue and I welcome it.
I like the way Professor Flinn tries to make this about the translation.
And that’s a nice set of clericals on Fr. Rowe.
I noticed that also. I wonder what other festive colors he has in his closet. I guess black is so déclassé...
He should have been promptly dismissed. Period. These are priests raised and ordained in the sixties and think they don’t need to adhere toCatholic discipline.
I got tired of the adlibbing by priests and other inventions many years ago. These men seem to think that one can change the form without changing the substance.
