The Dominican Sisters of Pontcalec, still an institute of the Roman Rite, announced on 7 July during Sunday Mass that at their retreat (27 July to 2 August) the community Mass would be celebrated according to the Novus Ordo Missae.
This measure was taken at "the request from Rome".
The news was published in an open letter on LeForumCatholique.org (21 July) by outraged faithful who have settled near the monastery precisely to attend the Roman Mass with their families. They now feel betrayed.
They write that the nuns are about "to abandon the Vetus Ordo, to pass to the Novus Ordo".
Medias-Presse.info adds the claim that the measure is not temporary for the retreat, but that in the future "the community Mass will be celebrated according to the Novus Ordo Missae".
At first Montini's "conciliar church" was irrevesible. Now Bergoglio's "Sin-Nodal church" is irreversible.
Neither of them will outlive the traditional Catholic Church founded by Jesus Christ.

Trust Jesus. Read the Latin, hear the N.O.
resistance is futile?
Never!
Remember the Battle of Lepanto!
Compare it to Bergoglio and his publicity stunt at Lampedusa.
That doesn't work. The the masses are totally different.
The Vetus Ordo (Latin for “Old Order”) refers to the Extraordinary Form of the Roman Rite, also known as the Tridentine Mass, which was the standard liturgy of the Catholic Church until the Second Vatican Council (1962-1965).
The Novus Ordo (Latin for “New Order”) is the Ordinary Form of the Roman Rite, introduced after the Council, and is currently the most widely used liturgy in the Catholic Church.

Novus Ordo: Offers four Eucharistic Prayers, but with a greater emphasis on the communal celebration and the role of the priest as presider.
5. Liturgical Orientation/
Vetus Ordo: Typically celebrated with the priest facing east (ad orientem) and the congregation facing the same direction.
Novus Ordo: Often celebrated with the priest facing the congregation (versus populum), although some parishes may still use the ad orientem orientation.
