Belgian Bishop Praises Summorum Pontificum
Benedict XVI wanted to support new communities and believed in creative minorities, Liège Bishop Jean-Pierre Delville, 71, Belgium, said during a January 4 Requiem for Benedict XVI.
Delville explained that Benedict also favoured Roman Rite communities "because they form centres of faith that radiate outwards, enhancing the spiritual, musical and cultural heritage of the liturgy.”
For Delville, this was the purpose of Summorum Pontificum, since Benedict wanted an alternative to "banality" [= Novus Ordo]. The "courage of truth" was Benedict's strength, Delville believes, "For him, it can happen that the Church is modern by being anti-modern, that is to say, positioned against the drifts of modernity.”
