Chartres Bishop Introduces Novus Ordo to Pentecost Pilgrimage
Bishop Philippe Christory, 67, of Chartres, France, has authorised all priests who wish to do so to celebrate the Roman Rite at the famous Pentecost pilgrimage.
However, he also mandated that priests can celebrate the Novus Ordo at the pilgrimage.
Bishop Christory accuses the organising association of giving themselves the right to forbid the Novus Ordo: "It's not up to the Notre-Dame-de-Chrétienté association to limit the form of the rite within the territory of a diocese."
For over 40 years, Masses celebrated as part of the pilgrimage have exclusively been in the Roman Rite.
The pilgrimage is growing in numbers every year with 19,000 registrants in 2025.
A recent letter from Rome instructed all priests participating in the pilgrimage to request authorisation from the local bishops (Évry, Versailles and Chartres) to celebrate the Roman Rite.

The Novus Ordo is a forbidden Mass, by decree of St. Pope Pius V. The faithful have no obligation to say it, as it is not a legitimate Catholic Mass. the TLM is the true Catholic Mass.
The NO is a legitimate and valid Mass. How could you say Pope Pius V forbade the NO when there was no NO in his time? Pope Paul VI decreed NO and Pope Benedict XVI designated it as the Ordinary Form of the Latin Rite. They were all popes with the same authority, so both forms of Mass are legal and valid.
The Novus Ordo is the Roman Rite in the Ordinary Form. ("Summorum Pontificum" motu proprio, Benedict XVI, 7/7/2007.) It can be celebrated using its original Latin text. There shouldn't be any problem.
No, the Novus ordo is completely different in translation from the Latin Mass. is a completely different Mass.
Are you of a higher authority than the Pope? Pope Benedict says the NO is another form of the Latin (Roman) Rite, the Ordinary Form. The TLM is the Extraordinary Form. He says so in his motu proprio, "Summorum Pontificum." Read it - you may yet learn something.
I've been to Chartres. I can't think of a place that screams out more for Tradition and the Latin Mass than this place. The gay, communist clergy will answer for all the heresy someday.
How do you know the clergy is communist. And who gives you the authority to charge them with heresy? How did you determine the heresy? What heresy is it?
"It's not up to the Notre-Dame-de-Chrétienté association to limit the form of the rite within the territory of a diocese."
It's the Bishop of Chartres that wants to introduce the Novus Ordo to the Pentecost Pilgrimage, and he is the authority to do so.
