Pope Francis Should Celebrate a Traditional Latin Mass!


Here is a snippet from a Father Z interview (America) where he expresses well a respectful request for the Holy Father to celebrate or at least attend a Traditional Latin Mass, to confirm one another in the Faith!

I suppose there is one thing [I would like to ask Pope Francis].

I might ask him to celebrate a Pontifical Mass in the Extraordinary Form, or at least be present at its celebration by someone whom he would designate.

Catholics who have what St. John Paul II called “legitimate aspirations” and for whom he commanded by his Apostolic Authority that respect must be shown, have over many decades experienced great suffering and disrespect and even persecution, even by priests and bishops.

They have suffered because they are faithful, and at the hands of their shepherds, which is shameful. Quod Deus averruncet!

They can, at times, admittedly be a challenge to work with, but these good people love Christ and their church and their popes as much as any Catholics ever have throughout the millennia. They would go to the wall for Pope Francis, even though sometimes he does things that make them scratch their heads.

These people need some TLC. A little love in their direction could bring about great healing. It’s the next step.

And were he to do it, this pope rather than the more obvious Benedict … imagine what a magnificent healing moment it would be.
