Another US Diocesan Roman Mass Supressed
Bishop Joseph Williams of Camden, New Jersey, has suppressed the Mass in the Roman rite at St. Gianna Beretta Molla Parish in Northfield.
The final Roman Mass was celebrated on June 28.
The excuse used to end the Mass was the retirement of Father Anthony J. Manuppella.
The priest who has taken over as an administrator knows how to say the Roman rite, but lacks permission to celebrate. Instead, he offers a Sunday noon Novus Ordo in Latin, celebrated ad orientem.
According to parishioners and blog posts, Bishop Williams did not renew the permission required for the Mass to continue.
Below is an English user comment from a parishioner published on Wdtprs.com: "The Bishop has rejected all pleas for mercy and charity from our retiring pastor, our dedicated altar servers, and congregation to allow our Traditional Latin Mass to continue".

New Jersey diocese suppresses Traditional Latin Mass
I laugh in their faces and look upon them with disdain. No one will ever take away the traditional Mass from me. I will always find one to go to, no matter where it may be.
