Archbishop Thomas Wenski to offer Traditional Latin Pontifical Mass

[prettiefly]

In case there was any doubt that the Catholic Reformation is proceeding apace in South Florida, look no further than the fact that, less than a year-and-a-half after his installation to the See of Miami, Archbishop Thomas Wenski has announced that he will be celebrating a Pontifical High Mass at Miami’s Church of the Epiphany (7:30pm) on 2 February 2012, Feast of the Presentation of Jesus at the Temple.

This event is remarkable for two reasons: a) This will be the first time in over 40 years that a bishop has celebrated a Pontifical High Mass, according to the Missal of 1962, in the State of Florida. b) As a sign of Archbishop Wenski’s efforts to engage and dialogue with the secular world – including academia — the Mass is capstoning a symposium jointly sponsored by both Nova Southeastern University and Church Music Association of America.

This is wonderful news. God bless Archbishop Wenski!

I recall that when he was appointed as Archbishop last year by Pope Benedict, I wondered how he would deal with the mess that that diocese was in. The appointment, from what I understand, was due in part to faithful Catholics complaining (I think charitably to Rome) about what was going on in the diocese.

I wonder if the Archbishop will ride his motorcycle to the Mass? I understand he sometimes rides a Harley - so cool!

A little background on the appointment of the Archbishop:

Let’s hope he does this often.

It good to hear any priest taking the time to learn Latin and how to say the Latin Mass. But when a bishop does so, that’s special and most encouraging.
