Italian Bishops Want to Overturn Summorum Pontificum
Italian bishops suggested during their ongoing autumn meeting abolishing the Motu Proprio Summorum Pontificum, MessaInLatino.it reports (November 16).
Gorizia Archbishop Carlo Radaelli, 62, said that Benedict XVI was "wrong" when he writes in Summorum Pontificum that the Old Mass has never been abrogated. Instead Radaelli claimed that the Roman Mass was abolished by Paul VI. Accordingly Benedict's Motu Proprio would be null and void.
Several prelates supported Radaelli's claims, among them modernist Father Luigi Girardi who runs the Roman Institute of pastoral liturgy, Novara Bishop Franco Brambilla, 69, and an unnamed Bishop from southern Italy.
Radaelli and Brambilla were both appointed by Benedict XVI.
