Pope Francis on Friday issued an edict tightening the Catholic Church’s rules on how its ancient Latin Rite might be celebrated, reversing an earlier decision by former Pope Benedict XVI that loosened restrictions on the older liturgy.
Francis’s directive issued new restrictions on when and where priests may celebrate the Extraordinary Form of the Roman Rite, a liturgy that had been used globally by the church for several hundred years prior to the 1960s, when it was sidelined in favor of a modernized form of the Mass.
Francis said he issued the decision as a measure to promote unity in the Catholic Church. More liberal- and reform-minded Catholics have argued that broad latitude for the Latin Rite was a source of division among the faithful.
Priests who currently celebrate the Latin Mass will now be required to seek special permission anew from their local bishop to continue celebrating it.

They’re Trying to Shut Us Down
Over the last several months, I’ve lost count of how many times the powers-that-be have tried to shut us down. They’ve sent hackers at us, forcing us to take extreme measures on web security. They sent attorneys after us, but thankfully we’re not easily intimidated by baseless accusations or threats. They’ve even gone so far as to make physical threats. Those can actually be a bit worrisome but Remington has me covered.
For us to continue to deliver the truth that Americans need to read and hear, we ask you, our amazing audience, for financial assistance. We have a Giving Fuel page to help us pay the bills. It’s brand new so don’t be discouraged by the lack of donations there. It’s a funny reality that the fewer the donations that have been made, the less likely people are willing to donate to it. One would think this is counterintuitive, but sometimes people are skeptical because they think that perhaps there’s a reason others haven’t been donating. In our situation, we’re just getting started so please don’t be shy if you have the means to help.
Thank you and God bless!
