Rorate Caeli

Notes from the Iberian Peninsula

1. Our friends at "Missa Tridentina em Portugal" publish pictures of the "Seminar on Traditional Liturgy", held by the Fraternidad de Cristo Sacerdote y Santa María Reina, in collaboration with the Institute of the Good Shepherd (*Updated), for priests of Spain, Portugal, and other European nations, in the city of Pontevedra, Spain.

2. Reader Hugo Abreu informs us that the Traditional Latin Mass in Fátima (earlier post) is still a "private" (though open to the public). The chapel is too small to receive laity, they will ask the Bishop a larger Church. On the other hand, there is now, at last, a Diocesan Latin Mass open to the public in Portugal (although in the Ordinary Form), which is on a major Church of Lisbon, the Basílica dos Mártires (Our Lady of the Martyrs), which is very central, right in front of most famous cafe in the country, "A Brasileira".
