Brussels: A Former Novus-Ordo Church Stripped Off Its Parish Status
Archbishop Luc Terlinden, 55, of Mechelen-Brussels, Belgium, has stripped the Don Bosco church in Buizingen of its parish status because of its Eucharists, which, according to Terlinden, are "presided over by a woman".
A diocesan statement issued on 20 March said the move came after 18 months of talks that revealed major differences, mainly over the vision of the presidency of the Novus Ordo sacraments.
Because of the "fundamental nature of the divergent positions, the former parish will in future be an independent religious organisation [= sect]," the diocesan statement said.
According to Terlinden, the parish was "known for far-reaching innovations [= apostasies] in the field of liturgy and sacraments".
There is not a single example in the world where this kind of apostasy has not led to the death of a parish.
