UPDATE - TEXT OF THE DECREE

The text of the decree in Italian is transcribed below. We translate the last paragraph with the specific papal order abrogating Summorum Pontificum for the priests of the FFI:

[Following the orders related to the administrative organization of the FFI, and the naming of an Apostolic Commissioner, the following is added:] In addition to the above, also on July 3 [of this year], the Holy Father Francis determined that every religious of the Congregation of the Franciscan Friars of the Immaculate is bound to celebrate the liturgy according to the ordinary rite and that, eventually, the use of the extraordinary form (Vetus Ordo) must be explicitly authorized by the competent authorities for every religious and/or community that requests it.

>I think revising our mass/church to appeal to modern culture is/was a big error.<

.
I thought that all that was done and over with by Vatican II.

[ebb tide]

It sure didn’t take Pope Francis long:

On 6 April 2013, Pope Francis appointed him ( José Rodrìguez Carballo, O.F.M.) of the Congregation for Institutes of Consecrated Life and Societies of Apostolic Life, filling a position that had been vacant for several months, and named him Titular Archbishop of Bellicastrum.[

Who will Herr Jose attack next? The FSSP, ICK?

[markomalley]

2 things to point out with this item:

1) Sandro Magister (as well as Andrea Tornielli) are ITALIAN. They write like ITALIANS. ‘Nuff said on that.

2) The group to which this decree applies is a religious order. We laity need to keep in mind that OBEDIENCE is a fundamental tenet of religious orders. Needing to have permission of their religious superiors should not be seen as controversial...

And then the other source cited was Rorate? We are talking about the same Rorate that is convinced that this is an anti-Pope?

Increasingly, becoming a matter of preponderance of the evidence.

[markomalley]

Increasingly, becoming a matter of preponderance of the evidence.

So is the seat just empty? Or are you a follower of Pope Pius XIII? Or Pope Michael?

[steve86]

Franciscans of the Immaculate. Where is their Archbishop Lefebvre? We need more of him.

[steve86]

Attempted to attend an FSSP Mass over the weekend but all hotel rooms in the area were booked and had to come home.

[Pyro7480]

Wait, has Rorate actually said that he’s an anti-Pope?

[markomalley]

Wait, has Rorate actually said that he’s an anti-Pope?

No...everything but...

[ebb tide]

” Needing to have permission of their religious superiors should not be seen as controversial...”

Sure it’s controversial! Epecially since Pope Benedict made it clear that no one can forbid a priest from offering a TLM.

[BillyBoy]

The Tridentine Mass came into use around 1570. What’s with “the ancient rite” terminology this article constantly uses? There are many liturgies far older than the Tridentine Mass. It makes it sound like the Pope is weighing on using a Mass from 400s.

[ebb tide]

Are you fond of committing libel?

[ebb tide]

Actually, according to Francis, the seat is empty. He only refers to himself as the Bishop of Rome, not the Vicar of Christ.

[markomalley]

Are you fond of committing libel?

No more so than anybody else. Though in fairness, I stopped reading Rorate about a week after the election because of the constant hissy-fit they were throwing.

[markomalley]

Sure it’s controversial! Epecially since Pope Benedict made it clear that no one can forbid a priest from offering a TLM.

You know very, very, very little about being in a religious order, don't you?

[Brian Kopp DPM]

Nonsense. What we know as the Traditional Latin Mass was in use in the West since the time of Pope St. Gregory the Great (590-604) in its essential form. It was codified at the Council of Trent and thus it came to be known as the Tridentine Mass.

[Alex Murphy]

...according to Francis, the seat is empty. He only refers to himself as the Bishop of Rome, not the Vicar of Christ.

Whoa!

[Brian Kopp DPM]

The new decree states:

the Holy Father Francis determined that every religious of the Congregation of the Franciscan Friars of the Immaculate is bound to celebrate the liturgy according to the ordinary rite and that, eventually, the use of the extraordinary form (Vetus Ordo) must be explicitly authorized by the competent authorities for every religious and/or community that requests it.

The highlighted text is diametrically opposed to the spirit and letter of the law promulgated in Pope BXVI's Motu Proprio Summorum Pontificum.

As such it is clearly a slap in the face to BXVI as well as all Catholics who love the TLM.

[AliVeritas]

Unbelievable.

Jesus, mercy.
