Famous Mexican Producer Defends the Mass: Many Mexicans Long for Roman Rite

Mexican actor and producer José Eduardo Verástegui published an open letter to Francis on 14th July asking him "not to forbid" the Roman Rite Mass.

Verástegui recently produced the successful film "Sound of Freedom" (2023) about the rescue of children from sex traffickers.

The actor tells Francis that the Mass is "rich" and "devout": "In the land of Guadalupe, there are many of us who want the Tridentine Mass not to be suppressed, but to be preserved for the spiritual benefit of Catholics who want to receive Holy Communion every day at the traditional Mass."

Verástegui goes on to ask Francis to "allow every priest who wants to celebrate it to do so" [as was the case until Traditionis Custodes in 2021]: "In Mexico we have many who wish with all their heart to be able to do so with your permission."
