Bishop De Korte Preached in Mass in Roman Rite - Announced in Parish Magazine for "Pastoral Reasons"
A Roman rite Mass is celebrated in Oss every Sunday at 12:00. This is listed on the parish website and in the parish magazine, despite Vatican rules stating that Masses should not be included in parish schedules. The Mass is offered in the church Our Lady of the Immaculate Conception (Grote Kerk) of Oss, which is the parish's main church.
On 13 March, Bishop Gerard de Korte of Den Bosch told Nd.nl that the rules about advertising the Mass and using a parish church are disregarded out of "pastoral wisdom".
De Korte says he has five priests who know this liturgy and that the group of Catholics attending is not large.
"I can also maintain contact with this relatively small group of traditional believers with some pragmatism," he says
Last month, De Korte himself preached during the Tridentine Mass.
