They do not ned his permission. That is what Summorum Pontificum is all about. Under the old indult the priests would have needed the bishop’s permission. Under *SP *they no longer do. :tiphat:
Fifteen months after the motu proprio Summorum Pontificum: has your diocese officially said a big, fat, NOTHING about it??

I am in the Knoxville Diocese, and there is one church about 25 miles away from Knoxville that celebrates the EF every Sunday. I have only gone to it once, but I have already ordered a 1962 missal, and the priest at St Therese (where it is celebrated) is holding a class on the 1962 missal next month. There was actually quite a few people that attended, and I was greatful to see that. knoxlatinmass.net has information for all of the churches in this diocese that celebrate TLM.
I do prefer the EF of mass myself because I do have more of a sense of spiritual nourishment, but I don’t think that it makes the vernacular any less authentic. I don’t like guitars playing in church, especially since it seems to detract from the reverance, but I am also speaking as someone who cut her teeth playing piano with Mozart and Bach.
God Bless!

If the EF is of interest to you and others in your area, then please, ask. As Chatter163 pointed out, there is no longer an “indult” required, so if the local pastor refuses, the request should go to the bishop.I haven’t heard anything

our Bishop seems a bit liberal to me…but you are right asking would be in order.

We went from 1 indult parish to the EF being offered at 4 parishes throughout the archdiocese (including my own 
)
In addition, two of our auxilliary bishops have said the EF on a regular basis, one even using the Pontifical High Mass.
Or, I should say that it was two of our FORMER auxilliary bishops, because +Benedict has recently promoted them to their own See’s
So if your diocese has auxilliary bishops, you could mention tp them that Bishops Boyea and Quinn said the EF Mass regularly and they were recently promoted

I don’t know about the diocese I can tell you that there is absolutely no interest whatsoever to have a Latin mass in our parish

Excellent!!! I’ve said before but it doesn’t hurt to repeat that Detroit was for years a wasteland for the “old” usage and now lo! and behold … the EF emerges anew! (I knew bishop Boyea many years ago, long before he was even ordained a priest, and I can’t say I’m surprised. He’s a lovely person.) Hopefully another of the auxiliary bishops will take up the mantle.We went from 1 indult parish to the EF being offered at 4 parishes throughout the archdiocese (including my own

By “Latin Mass” do you mean the EF or the OF in Latin? Either way, it’s a shame.

I belong to one of the others. In fact, not only we have it on Sunday’s. We have both a high and low Mass weekdays. I believe at least 4 of the 6 priests there know to celebrate the EF Mass (one has done it on EWTN).We went from 1 indult parish to the EF being offered at 4 parishes throughout the archdiocese (including my own

I believe Fr. P . would love to make all the Masses the EF Mass if he could (if you heard some of his sermons and some of his writings in the Bulletin, you say the same thing).

I’m in the Diocese of Greensburg, Pa, and our Bishop barely acknowledged it.
There is a small group of students and a few others at St Vincent College in Latrobe, Pa, who are lucky enough to have a Friday and Saturday morning mass, but it’s mainly students. Most of us live too far away or work so can’t attend. I heard, recently, that they are trying to get a petition going to have a Sunday Mass said, but I don’t know how that’s going. Meanwhile, the Pittsburgh Diocese - to the west - has had a strong, growing, Latin Mass Community for the past 10 or so years. It’s 60 miles away from my home, but we’re going there for their Christmas eve Latin mass. The Altoona-Johnstown Diocese, to the east of Greensburg, has had a growing Latin Mass community since a year ago, and they just have joyfully announced that their Bishop (Adamec), has given them their own church as a “personal parish”.
Meanwhile, here we sit in the Greensburg Diocese. It’s as if nothing at all has changed. Of course, our diocese lost 7 priests last year - and several this year. Most of those died, some retired for age or health reasons, and several left the priesthood. They just closed a number of parishes, and consolidated others. I wish they’d invite the FSSP or other Traditional group, to set up a personal parish. It would relieve the priest shortage, and fill the spiritual needs of people like me.
I know it’s not right - but I’m bitter and heartbroken. I feel betrayed!

Aimee, in my research to find an EF mass near me I discovered that there is an FSSP House in Mableton right next to Atlanta.

Here in the Diocese of Boise, our Bishop hasn’t said or written much about it, nor has he celebrated an EF Mass (to my knowledge), but we do have two parishes in the State where it is available, one in an EF chapel in Coeur d’Alene, the other offered monthly by a retired diocesan priest down in Idaho Falls. I don’t think the Bishop is really enthusiastic about it, but he won’t stand in the way, either.
Our pastor, OTOH, has given the “form of consent, with the substance of denial.” From the pulpit, he announced the MP, what it was about, how to get an EF Mass, etc., then stated that, since he was ordained after Vatican II, he was not able to celebrate it. However, if we could find a priest to do it, he’d have no problem with it.
Fair enough - but, when anyone has tried to move toward getting an EF Mass here, he has either simply blown them off, or tried to talk others, while not “traditionalists” in the strict sense, but either curious or nostalgic, out of the idea… :banghead:

Have you thought about approaching a priest who is known to be generally orthodox and asking him whether he would like to take up this effort? I think reaching out to good priests is a good way to start.

Our Cathedral parish offers the TLM every Sunday at noon. We haven’t been yet event tho we feel strongly drawn to it. I think we’re just nervous about not having been to one before and not knowing how to celebrate it. We used to be in a parish where some of the prayers were said in Latin (Confiteor, Sanctus, Agnes Dei) and we absolutely loved it. Some of the women started wearing head coverings (veils?) to Mass. It was such a quiet, holy, sacred atmosphere. We miss it terribly.
I’ll try and get us to the noon TLM this Sunday. Pray for us!

Not just a house, but a full-scale parish of the archdiocese, the first such all-Tridentine parish in the US when it became a parish over a decade ago.
