Summorum Pontificum Marching in Rome (Pictures, Video)
It began on Friday with a conference at the Augustinianum next to St Peter's Square in the presence of Cardinal Sarah.
The historian Michela Di Mieri spoke about her life. She grew up as a communist in Bologna and saw friends and acquaintances die as victims of heroin and AIDS. When her boyfriend died at the age of 30, she didn't find help neither in Marx, psychotherapy, or Tibetan mantras, but discovered the Roman Rite on the Internet, found a Mass in her city, and remained with it.
Bishop Schneider recalled that all sectarians who wanted to introduce personal ideas like Luther or Calvin, encountered the insurmountable obstacle of the liturgy and therefore had to subvert it first. He also recalled that papal authority is not unlimited, but is at the service of the Deposit of Faith.
Friday ended with the Pontifical Vespers, sung by Schneider in the Pantheon.
Saturday began with Holy Mass in Santi Celso e Giuliano Basilica, followed by the much-noticed procession to St Peter’s, which even Vatican court journalists took note of.
Synodality Francis forbade the Summorum Pontificum Mass, which had been celebrated in St Peter's for more than a decade.
