Bishop Barry Knestout of Richmond, Virginia, is ending the Traditional Latin Mass in Charlottesville. The two-year “permission” given by the Vatican Rome expires this week. The bishop stated that he intends to renew the dispensation, but that until he receives the renewal, the parish cannot offer the old Mass. Instead, the Novus Ordo can be offered in Latin, Ad Orientem (facing east), an option already available for any priest not requiring special permission from the bishop.
