Francis Has Already Contradicted Desiderio Desideravi
After cancelling a July 2-5 trip to Congo, Francis presided a July 3 Eucharist in St Peter’s using the "Zairean rite" which was made up in 1969 and "allowed" by the Congregation for Liturgy in 1988.
Francis arrived at and left the basilica in a wheelchair. He was dressed in liturgical vestments. The president of the event, which saw much singing, dancing, swaying and cheering, was Archbishop Paul Gallagher.
Even before the words of institution, the co-presenting priests, who were placed in the first rows of the area for the faithful, were each holding a bowl of hosts. During the words of institution, they raised them in the air. In a Catholic liturgy, the hosts are consecrated on a corporal on the altar.
This event has shown that the Eucharist of Paul VI is not the “unique expression of the lex orandi of the Roman Rite” as claimed by Francis less than a week ago in Desiderio desideravi. Francis is known for saying everything and the opposite of everything. Therefore all of Francis' statements must be taken with a pinch of salt.
