Dancing around pacha mama? Good.
Celebrating the TLM? Bad.
Got it.
I just don’t understand the hatred expressed towards the TLM.
With all the problems in our Church I find it interesting that the TLM is the focus of their ire. Why? Every single answer I come up with frightens me.
Bishop Stephen Parkes of Savannah, Georgia, has announced that traditional Latin Masses in his Georgia diocese will cease in May 2023, at the request of the Vatican.
The bishop said that he had requested permission from the Vatican Dicastery for Divine Worship and Discipline of the Sacraments for parishes in his diocese to offer Mass according to the 1962 Roman Missal and received a response from Rome that one parish can offer the Mass weekly and three parishes can offer the Mass monthly until May 20, 2023.
“I am grateful to the Dicastery for granting the above permissions so that Masses according to the Missale Romanum of 1962 may continue to be celebrated for another year. Since my appointment as your Bishop, I have been present at Masses celebrated with this Missal, and I recognize the reverence and beauty of these liturgies,” Bishop Parkes wrote in a statement.
“I am also aware that the eventual cessation of these Masses will be difficult for many of the faithful in our Diocese. Please know of my pastoral concern for you.”
Well…as long as those good people have his pastoral concern I guess it’s all good.
Exit question: In what way does his “pastoral concern” differ from a middle finger?
