Conservative Diocese Cancels Mass, Communion Rail

The weekly Saturday morning Roman Rite Mass in Lincoln Cathedral, Nebraska, has been cancelled, the Cathedral rector Thomas Fucinaro writes in a February 11 letter.

Lincoln Bishop James Conley ordered to abolish the Mass legalistically following Francis’ rigid Traditionis Custodes. In the same letter, Fucinaro announced the removal of the Communion rail. According to him, the current rail is “out of harmony” with the [horrendous] architecture of the Cathedral.

Lincoln Diocese used to be a refuge for Catholicism for decades. In 2018, it had the highest number of seminarians per Catholics in the USA. However, there were rumours of a homosex subculture in the seminary.

Before becoming a diocesan priest, Bishop Conley, a convert from Presbyterianism, considered a monastic vocation at the Roman Rite French Abbey of Fontgombault. From December 2019 to November 2020, he took a medical leave of absence for depression.
