Chicago: Is the Synodalist Attacking The Roman Mass Again?

Twitter’s ACatholicLife (July 16) has received two reports that the Roman Rite Institute of Christ the King is being expelled from the Chicago Archdiocese by Cardinal Cupich who is a rigid fighter against the Catholic Faith and Catholic Mass.

The shrine, a historic Catholic church built by the Carmelites, is in Woodlawn/Chicago where 98% of the population are black. It declined once the Carmelites started with social activism. The parish was closed in 2002. Two years later, Christ the King revived it with the Roman Rite. It is now the National Headquarters of the Institute’s American Province.

The church has been the site of protests against Cupich's measures against the Mass.

Starting August 1, in the diocese of Chicago, priests of the Institute of Christ the King will no longer have faculties to hear confessions but priests of the Society of Saint Pius the 10th will.

Sad, that the cardinal hates the TLM. I would continue to celebrate this timeless Mass. I'm sure the devil is happy!

Look at how packed that church is.....it can only be demonic hatred that wishes to destroy such manifest devotion and sacrality in worshiping God.

What does the colour of the congregation have to do with anything? Answer: NOTHING. So stop dragging the 'racism' card into this. ('If it's almost all black and you want to shut it down, you must be a racist'. NO. They want to shut it down, irrespective of who uses the church).

Doubtful that a high percentage of the attendees at this church are Black. The point is, the neighborhood is, and people, white people, will still attend Mass there. South Side of Chicago: much safer Sunday morning than Saturday evening.

Some astonishing psycho-micro-management from Rome.

TC not only forbid the creation of new personal parishes for the Old Rite, but it said that the current ones would be evaluated as to whether they should continue on. I thought at the time that this means that there is no protection in having the personal parish, and that appears to be what is happening now. The FSSP may have the right to retain the traditional rites, but they can be kicked out of any diocese they are in, at a moment’s notice.

I would have only one question. Does the Institute own the property where it celebrates Mass ( keeps the faith) ? If not there is little hope of them continuing their work, unless they dig in their heels and resist, renting an appropriate property. This is an old story among Traditionalists. Good Luck and God bless.

The Institute owns the property.

ICKSP will obey the local Ordinary. If this is the case then perhaps they should donate the property to SSPX if they own it. This way the TLM will continue.

Pray that they don't end up in hell - for they are certainly on the road to hell NOW!
