Right, what you said!Sancta Maria Mater Dei ora pro nobis peccatoribus nunc et in hora mortis nostrae.
Under this forthcoming indult, does the archbishop have the authority to limit the celebration in our diocese?Right, what you said!
Geez I have to brush up on the Latin. My most holy Pastor is on the rotation for the only TLM here in Detroit. I’m sure he will be celebrating at my parish!!!
First, it is only a rumor so there is no offical “forthcoming indult”.Under this forthcoming indult, does the archbishop have the authority to limit the celebration in our diocese?
I think that even if he can limit it for most parishes, he can’t for us and the Grotto. We are under foreign Bishops.Under this forthcoming indult, does the archbishop have the authority to limit the celebration in our diocese?
The question comes down to, why would a Bishop do this? What would he gain.But given that, yes every bishop has authority over his diocese, even if this rumored indult is universal.
All the bishop has to do is remove the priest from a parish.
I have a question, what do you mean you are under “foreign bishops”?I think that even if he can limit it for most parishes, he can’t for us and the Grotto. We are under foreign Bishops.
I can see some situations where a priest might force this upon a parish that is very happy with the normative rite of the Mass.The question comes down to, why would a Bishop do this? What would he gain.
The main reason for this “General Indult” is due to the failure of many Bishops to grant the current Indult in their dioceses.Under this forthcoming indult, does the archbishop have the authority to limit the celebration in our diocese?
Thanks, Ken… that’s sort-of how I’ve come to understand it. Instead of priests seeking permission to offer the TLM and being granted (or denied) on a case-by-case basis, bishops will have to go on record as denying permission.The main reason for this “General Indult” is due to the failure of many Bishops to grant the current Indult in their dioceses.
The TLM will no longer be “for those who request it” but as AN ALTERNATIVE to the Novus Ordo Mass, and not just for the lay people but for the priests as well.
I am sure a local Bishop would have to go through a LOT of red tape to stop any priest from saying the TLM in his Diocese, and basically I am most sure none of them would bother to take the trouble to do it.

As it would be an indult Mass am I correct in thinking that although a TLM might be offered as one of the Masses in your local parish church as a choice for those who might want it, it cannot be imposed on the faithful by making all Masses TLM?Thanks, Ken… that’s sort-of how I’ve come to understand it.

No, thats not the way it works. This new rumored indult will leave it up to each individual priest to decide. The bishop will have to tell him no in writing. So a pariah priest who wants to can replace every Mass with the old Latin Mass if he so choses until the bishop writes him to stop.As it would be an indult Mass am I correct in thinking that although a TLM might be offered as one of the Masses in your local parish church as a choice for those who might want it, it cannot be imposed on the faithful by making all Masses TLM?
Did you mean a parish priest? Or was your intention to say any priest who says the old mass should be an outcast?So a pariah priest who wants to can replace every Mass with the old Latin Mass if he so choses until the bishop writes him to stop.
Wow… can’t believe that mistake.Did you mean a parish priest? Or was your intention to say any priest who says the old mass should be an outcast?
I thought you probably meant to type Parish and accidentally hit the ‘a’ key next to the ‘s’. Odd how it read ok either way.Wow… can’t believe that mistake.
Of course I did not mean the way it looks.
I did mean parish priest.
I am all for a greater usage of the old Latin Mass but I not for it as a replacement of the current Mass. While I know some do prefer the old one, many do prefer the current one and neither should be ignored.
What if the faithful in a particular parish do not want the TLM but the priest and bishop do, is it then imposed on the faithful even though they don’t want it and even though it is an indult Mass only and not the normative.No, thats not the way it works.
