Vatican Investigates Case of Transalpine Redemptorists
The community of the Roman rite is within the Diocese of Aberdeen. On 16 October, it published a letter no longer recognising the 'modern church'. "After years of examination and experience, we have come to the regrettable conclusion that the traditional Catholic faith, the faith of all times and of the saints, is incompatible with the new, modern Church, the fruit of the Second Vatican Council. They simply cannot coexist in one body", the priests wrote.
Bishop Gilbert remains "open to conversation with the Congregation".
On Facebook.com, he added that he is "canonically obliged to withdraw from the priests of that Congregation their permission to celebrate Mass at St John's".
These Masses are held monthly and will continue to be celebrated, but by the diocesan priest, Rev. Bruno Murphy.
Furthermore, the bishop has referred the case to the Holy See.
