US Bishop Shows How to Circumvent Francis' Rescript

Diocesan bishops are "much more in tune" with what’s going on in their diocese than a Vatican office, noted Springfield Bishop Thomas Paprocki, Illinois, about Francis' rescript "forbidding" to celebrate Mass in parish churches (CatholicNewsAgency.com, February 24).

He has offered Mass in both Roman Rite churches in his diocese and found “very faithful Catholics” there.

Traditionis custodes says, Paprocki observes, it wants to empower the bishops. He therefore questions the wisdom of the rescript under the principle of subsidiarity, since decisions such as those contained in it are usually made at a local level.

However, Paprocki has pre-empted the rescript by designating Sacred Heart Church in Springfield where Mass is celebrated as a non-parochial church.

The second site is in Quincy, a parish church, but a priest of the Fraternity of St Peter, who is [allegedly] not affected by the rescript, offers Mass there.

@Liam When the Russians invaded Poland and took over their churches and used them for warehouses, priests would say Mass outside in the empty parking lot.

That Vatican official newspaper is a pile of Woke garbage, copying the agenda of so much of the USA media. Fortunatly, in the last 10 years, their subscriptions have plunged to next to nothing. I would never read such crap! 🤪

Good thing Francis returned from Africa before Lent started, or he would have had to walk home.

More and more I hope Bishops everywhere, and even in the VAtican, defy, disobey, and ignore everything negative or restrictive or meant to end the Tridentine Latin Mass that Bergoglio and his thugs like Roche try to impose.
