Francis’ “transitional rules” for St Peter's Chapter (founded in 1053) took effect on October 1 in view of a feared “reform.”
The canons will no longer assist the Pontifical celebrations and are reduced to “liturgical animation” with a “pastoral function.” This is how Francis has been humiliating the canons:
• May 2020: With the excuse of Covid, he forbad their choir prayer.
• March 2021: He banned Mass celebration in Saint Peter’s which affected most canons.
• May 2021: The canons were forbidden to enter Saint Peter’s during a ceremony with Francis.
• May 18 2021: During a meeting with Cardinal Archpriest Gambetti until late at night, the canons were told that the chapter will be “reformed.”
• June 2021: The canons were forbidden to use the liturgical language wanted by the failed Vatican II. They must now pray in an Italian translation.
One of the reasons for Francis' hatred of the Chapter is that Dubia Cardinal Brandmüller belongs to it.
