Sandoval Iñiguez explains that throughout history Christ's Sacrifice has been celebrated in different rites and languages. The Roman Rite, as a rich and devout liturgy that naturally invites the faithful to enter into the mystery of God, "cannot be wrong":
"Several individuals and groups, both Catholic and non-Catholic, have expressed the desire that it not to be suppressed, but that it be preserved, because of the richness of its liturgy and in Latin, which, together with Greek, forms the foundation not only of Western culture, but also of other parts".
Cardinal Sandoval Iñiguez demands: "Pope Francis, do not let this to happen. You are also the guardian of the historical, cultural, and liturgical wealth of the Church of Christ".
