Wow.
According to Father Z. “I was informed that some 150 members of the Franciscan Friars of the Immaculate have petitioned the Pontifical Commission “Ecclesia Dei” this week to establish a separate institute which would use the Extraordinary Form of the Roman Rite.”
Wow.

Now watch all of the center-right priests and bloggers quickly say they knew all along this would happen, after saying in August that the TLM ban was necessary for unity within the order.

I am made very sad by this. I hope it does not happen.

I hope it does happen because those who have been obedient to the founders and who appreciate the extraordinary form of the Mass have been persecuted very much. Let those who do not want to follow the founders go ahead and have their modernist order; they can do that. But let those who wish to follow the holy founders, do so and completely in union with Rome. There was only a small minority who have fomented disobedience and brought this all about. They should have let the order instead of wanting to change it to their view.

Mr. Wolfe, Who said any such thing? The only people who were happy about it in August were anything BUT center-right.

Sad but true.

This is what will happen when you violate the canon law rights of Catholics they will break away and start their own order. This just because a few disgruntled Friars did not like the Latin Mass and manage to persuaded the Pope on this. Lesson here let Catholics be free in their style of worship.
