Francis: Better No Priest than a Priest of the Roman Rite

One Missionaries of Divine Mercy has been awaiting for more than two years to be ordained a deacon and four deacons have been awaiting their priestly ordination for one year.
According to Father Jean-Raphaël Dubrule, the superior, this waiting is no longer linked to the situation in the diocese of Fréjus-Toulon, where ordinations have resumed, but to the fact that the community celebrates the Roman rite, as provided for in its statutes, which are approved by the Church.
He writes in a statement that there have been "many discussions" with Rome [= Francis], led by the coadjutor bishop, Mgr Touvet ("whom I warmly thank for his great support for our community").
Francis is blocking the situation not only because of the Roman rite ordination, but also because he doesn't want to "allow" the future priests to celebrate the Roman rite.
But then they would no longer be able to exercise their ministry within the community in accordance with the statutes, warns Father Dubrule.
