Cardinal Wilton Gregory of Washington has reportedly withdrawn permission for a solemn pontifical Mass that was to be offered August 14 in D.C.
A pontifical Mass is celebrated by a bishop in the Extraordinary Form of the Roman Rite. The Mass, scheduled for the vigil of the Solemnity of the Assumption, was to take place at the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception.
The Paulus Institute, a group dedicated to promoting the sacred liturgy, organized the event, which was to be broadcast by EWTN. On its Facebook page on July 27, the institute announced that permission for the Mass was rescinded by the Archbishop of Washington.
"Cardinal Wilton Gregory has withdrawn the permission he had given to Archbishop Thomas Gullickson to celebrate a Pontifical Solemn Mass on August 14," Donna Bethell of the Paulus Institute said in a statement to CNA on Tuesday. Cardinal Gregory, she said, "cited Traditionis custodes as the reason, without further specificity."
The Archdiocese of Washington did not immediately respond to a confirmation request by CNA on Tuesday afternoon.

The floor of Hell is paved with the skulls of bad bishops.

I guess that’s a good thing for the bishops because it suggests they are completely annihilated and don’t have to suffer an eternity of punishment in Hell.
“Wilton Gregory has withdrawn the permission” for the Latin Mass. But he gives permission to many sinful activities. Dumb person with an IQ of 80.
Withdrawn permission? Permission was not required for the TLM before TC. Permission was requested to have it at the Basilica of the Shrine of the Immaculate Conception, the national cathedral. Slight technicality but important.
“I guess that’s a good thing for the bishops because it suggests they are completely annihilated and don’t have to suffer an eternity of punishment in Hell.”
My guess would be that they suffer torment whenever a hoof treads upon their skulls.
The original quote is “the floor of Hell is paved with the skulls of bishops”
Nothing about “bad bishops”
