ROME – Pope Francis’s decision to restrict celebration of the pre-Vatican II Latin Mass, effectively rolling back wider permission granted under Pope emeritus Benedict XVI, is being met by predictably mixed reaction from Catholics around the globe, with some praising the move as prophetic....

....liturgy expert and editor at the New Liturgical Movement blog Gregory DiPippo said that when he heard the news, he was filled with “profound sadness and dismay at the idea that the pope would so cruelly mistreat so many of the faithful.”

Papal biographer Austen Ivereigh, meanwhile, praised the pope’s decision on Twitter as, “A historic day. A bold move. A prophetic act.”

“Benedict XVI told bishops at the time of his 2007 Summorum Pontificum that it would be reviewed if it created problems. Francis has consulted the bishops of the world and they say it has. What was meant to foster unity has been used to sow division and opposition to Vatican II,” Ivereigh said.

....the move is seen by enthusiasts of the Latin Mass “for what it is, a declaration of war, and a statement of intent to drive people who did not fit into the pope’s ideological vision of the Church out of it.”

Catholics who prefer the Latin Mass “have been sent the very clear message that they are not welcome or wanted in the Church, and that the Holy See now formally rejects all idea of undertaking their pastoral care,” DiPippo said. “However, they are as a group very well catechized, and know that the Church is not the Pope’s personal plaything which entitles him to maltreat the faithful in this fashion.”

On Friday the Vatican published a new motu propio, meaning an addition to Church law issued on the pope’s own authority, titled, Traditionis Custodes...

I guess for FWIW Ivereigh says he opposed abortion but admitted that he paid for half of it

This shows how insidious abortion is, it somehow is excused even by Catholics.

This is such a contrived BS excuse.... All N.O. Mass going Catholics I know have NO problem with the TLM and enjoy the Liturgy when/where its available...Vat 2 is NOT in opposition woth the TLM.
I could probably then find and ask 10 liberal modernist Bishops if the Real Presence of the Eucharist was a problem for them...and guess what ?

Pontificum II is being written

I’m not Catholic either, I just hate communists with a passion, and I’m sorry that my Catholic friends are stuck with one as pope.

[leaning conservative]

Very well said. I agree.

he’s not much of a Catholic...

It’s what communists do, because communists are demons.

I know outright atheists who still love beauty and goodness. NO outright communists do.
