Leo XIV Backs Liturgical Program after 'Traditionis Custodes'

Leo XIV has sent a message to Cardinal Arthur Roche, Prefect of the Dicastery for Divine Worship. The occasion is a meeting at Mount Angel Abbey in Oregon devoted to liturgical formation. Dated June 29, the brief message was published today in the Vatican bulletin.

The text appears to reinforce Cardinal Roche’s recent statement that Leo XIV does not intend to abolish Traditionis Custodes.

Leo XIV calls for respect for “the rites promulgated by Pope Saint Paul VI and Pope Saint John Paul II.” He adds that this respect must spring from “sincere fidelity to ecclesial communion.”

Furthermore, Leo XIV relies heavily on Francis’ 2022 Apostolic Letter Desiderio Desideravi, quoting it several times. That document was closely connected to the post Traditionis Custodes liturgical program and contains a strong defence of the post-Vatican II reform.

Restore the respect due to God first in the liturgy, we will naturally respect the liturgy. Roman rite give such example, the sheep are flocking to it.

I hope all those people who are floating the delusion of Leo as some sort of "crypto-Trad" will finally wake up! He was 'formed' in the 70s-80s "spirit of Vatican II" OF COURSE HE'S AGAINST THE LATIN MASS!!!

Is there anyone who seriously thinks that this false prophet would abolish persecution of Latin Mass? Are there still so naive individuals who believe the propaganda machine of the evil sect in Vatican?

It is a blessing that the Synodal Church not making further efforts to co-op the Mass of the Ages.
