Mass in Latin: Francis' decision causes trouble

2021-07-18T19:03:11.271Z


TESTIMONIALS - The Pope's choice to restrict the Mass according to the old rite is confusing beyond the traditionalist sphere.


Often the Bible evokes the

"clamor"

of the wounded people.

It rises like a prayer of spite.

Since the publication on July 16 of a

Motu proprio

signed by Pope Francis abrogating the liberality opened by Benedict XVI in 2007 to celebrate Mass according to the preconciliar rite, known as “Saint Pius V”, a vast clamor of

“incomprehension”

,

“Bitterness”

or even

“revolt” is

rising in traditionalist communities.

He is criticized for his

"contempt"

,

his "harshness"

and even his

"violence"

.

François would not have taken into account

"the faithful concerned for whom (he) does not have a consoling word, nor a father,"

deplores Laure Blond, a mother from Dijon.

In Besançon, Father Jean-Baptiste Moreau adds:

"I believe that there is no greater suffering for a child than to hear his father say to him: 'I would prefer that you do not exist'"

"shocking"

,

"the indelicacy"

of Francis who would have broken the reform most dear to Benedict XVI ... during his lifetime.
