Paris archbishop resigns after being accused of affair with woman 

[…] warning and later fired, while also being “reported” to the Public Prosecutor.  Clément and his collaborator, Jean Ducret, were both cleared of all accusations when the case against them was dismissed last January after a judiciary investigation.  In his latest anti-tradition move, Archbishop Aupetit published a letter in September implementing Traditionis Custodes, in which he severely reduced the number of Parisian churches where the traditional Mass can be offered from ten to five. Only priests with “written permission” from the archbishop may now offer the Tridentine Mass in Paris – even those who regularly celebrated it.  When called upon by a […]

Schneider referred to the bishops as “scared.” “They are scared of what?” Porfiri asked. According to Schneider, the bishops would say they are afraid of a “growth of […]

Another German bishop all but eliminates the Traditional Latin Mass in his diocese

[…] the diocese. Similar suppression of the TLM and sacraments in the traditional form has already taken place in two other German dioceses, making the Diocese of Regensburg the third diocese to do so. The Archdiocese of Freiburg made a similar move in November, even before Rome released strict directives in Traditionis custodes on how to implement Pope Francis’ wishes. In December, the Diocese of Dresden-Meissen came down with harsh restrictions while also commissioning a report that will assess whether “traditionalists accept Vatican II.” The move away from traditional Catholic liturgy and sacraments in Germany comes as liberal German Cardinal Mario […]

[…] Mary than dying herself.” “If we become like Mary,” Mawdsley continued, “we will be ready to pay any price. But we can start simply by praying the rosary.” Mawdsley appeared in the news earlier this month when he left the Fraternity of St. Peter (FSSP) over Pope Francis’ motu proprio Traditionis Custodes, claiming that the suppression of the Traditional Latin Mass (TLM) was an act of sacrilege. He also served 14 months in prison in a Burmese prison for protesting the Burmese government’s human rights abuses. Priests, conscience, and COVID measures Mawdsley is not the only priest to speak out […]

Pope Francis restructures major Vatican office tasked with defending the faith

[…] CDF’s Secretary, the second-in-command, Archbishop Giacomo Morandi, the driving force behind the CDF’s 2021 ban on homosexual blessings. Vatican observers believe Morandi’s firing to have been almost a punishment for this document, as well as being linked to Morandi’s opposition to the Pope’s restrictions on the Latin Mass contained in Traditionis custodes. Morandi’s removal from the Vatican is believed to be the start of a Curial-wide reform in line with Pope Francis’ wishes, with strong suggestions that the prominently pro-LGBT Archbishop Charles Scicluna of Malta could replace Cardinal Ladaria as the CDF’s Prefect by the summer. Scicluna is already an adjunct […]

Mexican cardinal to meet with FSSP parishioners to discuss re-opening church

[…] Guadalajara, Francisco Robles, will meet with the faithful who were part of the quasi-Parish of St Peter in Chains, which was suppressed this September 21st by a decree published only on social networks. The decree aims to implement the instructions given by His Holiness Pope Francis in the Motu Proprio Traditionis Custodes (Guardians of Tradition) promulgated last July, in which the Holy Father confers exclusive competence to the diocesan Bishops to authorize the use of the 1962 Roman Missal elaborated by the Pope St John XXIII and in use by the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Peter at the supposedly now […]
