All this should put an end to the persistent rumours that the “Ecumenical Mass” was in preparation.

I have found Fr Alexander Lucie-Smith to be naive and a bit of a Francisbot. We know for a fact that one was held just a few feet from St. Peter's. The idea is dead, my foot.

I agree with you.

I think Francis believes, “If I build it (an ecumenical “mass”), they will come”.

If it happens, it will definitely help separate the wheat from the chaff in the Catholic Church.
