A July 28 letter of Westminster Cardinal Nichols to Archbishop Roche, the Prefect of the Liturgy Congregation, has been leaked to Gloria.tv (below).
It contains six questions regarding the application of Traditionis Custodes. Nichols asked:
- whether following-up documents on TC will be issued;
- whether TC abrogates the celebration of the other sacraments and the Roman Breviary;
- whether the Novus Ordo calendar must be imposed on the Roman Rite;
- what translations must be used for Roman Rite readings;
- who exactly constitutes a Roman Rite “group” (TC);
- whether TC allows for Roman Rite Requiems according to the 1971 Agatha-Christie indult. Nichols mentions a canonical interpretation of TC presented by The Latin Mass Society whose raison d’être is the promotion of the Roman Rite (“obviously this is not in accord with the mind of the Holy Father”), and other similar groups (FSSP, Institute of Christ the King). Nichols asks how to deal with them. Roche’s August 4 reply insists that …More

The head of the CDW says that the traditional Latin Mass has been used 'to encourage an ecclesiology that is not part of the Church's magisterium' (Letter to Cardinal Vincent Nichols). Please, which proposition or propositions about the nature of the church are in question here?

To coerce a bishop beyond his discretion in the application of Traditionis Custodes essentially goes against Tradioinis Custodes.

The ambitious and unpleasant Arthur Roche is trying to force Cardinal Nichols to be brutal in his application of Traditionis Custodes

They speak with a twisted tongue. Tell one thing, do the other. It's commonly called lying.

Interestingly, Archbishop Roche says in his letter to Cardinal Nichols that the traditional Mass “has been regulated and not supressed.” Next to that, he claims that growth of traditional groups was not intended and that they hold views that go against the Church's ecclesiology.

Cardinal Benelux, close advisor to Paul VI said that the suppression of the old Mass could be justified because “those who wish to retain the old Mass have a different ecclesiology.” Should we be faithful to the ecclesiology of 2000 years, or that of the 1960s?

Kardinaal Roche zegt terecht dat de Vaticaan 2 liturgie een nieuwe ideologie is. Daardoor is het verbieden door paus Franciscus van de Tridentijnse Heilige Mis geen verbod, maar een schisma. Er zijn twee Rooms Katholieke geloven, het Tweede Vaticaanse Novus Ordon en het Universele Tridentijnse Rooms Katholieke Vetus Ordo geloof van voor het Tweede Vaticaanse Concilie.

One wonders where this zeal to enforce Papal legislation on bishops was when Ex Corde Ecclesiae and Redemptionis Sacramentum were promulgated?

Murrican Catholics just received another reason to thank The Almighty that we have 3,459 miles between us and the UK.

It’s good to see that some dubia are actually answered. Of course, these days, one can never expect a good answer.
