Patrick, I assure you there are bare faced lies on some of those other sites. People are posting on blogs saying Bishop Roche wants to suppress the Latin Mass in his diocese. Nothing could be farther from the truth, he not only encourages it - he is working on widening the provision. The one stipulation he makes, is that it is to be offered properly, in accordance with the instructions, and any priest who wishes to offer it, must make sure he is competent. In other words, if he is not experienced and competent, he must learn. Last week the Dean of Leeds Cathedral attended a week's training course, in offering Mass in the Extraordinary Form, which will soon be made available in Leeds Cathedral. The bishop has also arranged for Mass in the Extraordinary Form to be offered weekly, in a church in Pontefract, just up the road from Allerton Bywater. So much for him hating traditional worship, it is just not true. Do please bear in mind, I still chat to friends and family who have known Bishop Roche all his life. They know what is happening in their own parish, i.e. Latin Mass, weekly, it started before Summorum Pontificum, and after Arther Roche became Bishop. Some blog owners are sailing very close to the wind, considering the libels they are publishing. There may be matters the Bishop may not disclose to the public. |
  Catholic and proud of it! Talk to God before Mass. Talk to each other afterwards | |
