Faithful Catholics could not go to a Latin Mass at St. John Cantius on Sunday, but they could watch lay people dance through the church and give homilies.
Archbishop Roche described the Traditional Latin Mass as not being ‘the norm’ in the Church’s life and somehow out of step with the ‘mandate given to the entire Church by the Second Vatican Council.’
Fr. Gerald Murray gave a lengthy interview in which he thoroughly analyzed Traditionis Custodes and the subsequent Responsa ad Dubia, warning how they had 'harmed the Church.'
Cardinal Nichols has begun his implementation of the Pope's motu proprio Traditionis Custodes, banning traditional confirmations in his Archdiocese of Westminster.
The document released restricts the traditional celebration of the sacraments, hints at a future withdrawal of permission to celebrate the traditional Mass at all , and issues penalties for priests who will not concelebrate.
In a discussion about Pope Francis' document restricting use of the Traditional rite, the Congregation for Divine Worship expressed concern that the limitations could cause someone to leave the Church, Polish Cardinal Kazimierz Nycz said.
