Archdiocese of Washington Complains about Latin Mass in Capitol
The Roman Mass celebrated in the US Capitol on 23 January was "not authorised" by the Archdiocese of Washington, conservative Monsignor Charles Pope told OsvNews.com.
The archdiocese has "procedures in place for such requests" and Monsignor Pope is responsible for them, "I just think it's unusual that any priest would ever agree to say a Mass where he knows there might be some controversy".
In fact, the organisers were discreet. They did not seek permission from the Archdiocese, fearing that the homosexual activist and Cardinal Gregory would call the Speaker's office - which allowed the Mass in the Capitol - and ask him to cancel it.
Faced with this argument, Monsignor Pope confirmed that requests for such Masses would be "respectfully received" and considered on a case-by-case basis.
He used the argument that Christ "was obedient [to God, not the Pharisees] even unto death".
