More on Cardinal Zen

A representative of the Tridentine Latin Mass Society of Hong Kong, which is based in the Salesian-run parish of Mary Help of Christians, has informed us that His Eminence Joseph Cardinal Zen SDB will offer the Traditional Latin Mass in that church on Easter Sunday, April 4, 2010, 12:30 P.M.

Cardinal Zen frequently celebrates the Traditional Mass for the Latin Mass Society of Hong Kong. His last public Mass as Ordinary of Hong Kong was a Solemn Pontifical Mass according to the 1962 Missal on Easter 2009. After that he celebrated the TLM on the Feast of the Ascension (celebrated on a Sunday, May 24, 2009), on the 4th, 7th and 13th Sundays after Pentecost, and on December 27, 2009 (as reported earlier on this blog).

**Cardinal Zen in action **

More pictures of the Cardinal’s “Missa Cantata” last December 27 can be found here.

Pictures of his Solemn Pontifical Mass on Easter 2009 can be found here.

I’m perfectly aware that bishops aren’t supposed to do the “Missa Cantata” according to the rules of the classical Roman Rite, but really, in this situation, is it fair to overlook the Cardinal’s willingness to offer the Traditional Latin Mass frequently? Keep in mind that he has actually volunteered to be part of the line up of priests who alternate in celebrating Hong Kong’s Sunday TLM. To my knowledge, he is the only cardinal who frequently celebrates the TLM in a fixed site.
