Francis, the Pope of "mercy", is still blocking priestly ordinations for the Missionnaires de la Miséricorde Divine in the diocese of Fréjus-Toulon, France.
One Missionaries of Divine Mercy has been awaiting for more than two years to be ordained a deacon and four deacons have been awaiting their priestly ordination for one year.
According to Father Jean-Raphaël Dubrule, the superior, this waiting is no longer linked to the situation in the diocese of Fréjus-Toulon, where ordinations have resumed, but to the fact that the community celebrates the Roman rite, as provided for in its statutes, which are approved by the Church.
He writes in a statement that there have been "many discussions" with Rome [= Francis], led by the coadjutor bishop, Mgr Touvet ("whom I warmly thank for his great support for our community").
Francis is blocking the situation not only because of the Roman rite ordination, but also because he doesn't want to "allow" the future priests to celebrate the Roman rite.
But then they would no longer be able to exercise their ministry within the community in accordance with the statutes, warns Father Dubrule.
On 24th June Francis received Monsignor Gilles Wach, co-founder and Prior General of the Institute of the Sovereign Priests of Christ the King, which follows the Roman Rite.
No further details of the meeting have been released.

The sooner Francis passes the better for the Church.
Does that mean the Catholic Church didn’t exist for almost 2,000 years?
Honestly. He’s so decrepit and I hope he kicks off before the synod road show, I believe, in October
“Rigidity in the church ‘is a sin against the patience of God’”
He has packed the Vatican with fellow travelers so l am not optimistic.
Not in Bergoglio's eyes; his "catholic" church started on 3-13-13.
