So another bishop came out against the traditional. It won’t be long before 1/2 the bishops and most of the priests are womyn, weekly Mass attendance plummets to pre-Constantine levels, and the RCC is consigned to the dustbin of history.
Ad Orientem: When the priest conducts the Mass facing away from the people, looking at the wall behind the Altar.
Summorum Pontificum: Apostolic Letter written by Benedict 16 where he specified the circumstances in which priests of the Latin Church may celebrate Mass according to what he called the “Missal promulgated by Blessed John XXIII in 1962”, and administer most of the sacraments in the form used before the liturgical reforms that followed the Second Vatican Council.
“I ask that no Masses be celebrated ‘ad orientem’ without my permission.”
Well, there we have it. Top down, centralized, tyrannical control that throws out the window Scripture, Tradition and common sense. Thanks to Tradition, all priests have permission from the Magisterium to celebrate ‘ad orientem’ and common sense says that they should.
