(Mass in the Altar of the Cathedra, in St. Peter's Basilica, in 2021) |
In 2024, the Traditional pilgrims of the Summorum Pontificum Pilgrimage (Last Sunday in October - Christ the King) were not allowed to celebrate the Traditional Mass on an altar of the main nave on Saturday of the last weekend in October: they just entered as pilgrims, with scheduled prayers, but the main masses were all in Churches that already have the Traditional Latin Mass regularly in Rome. The same had happened in 2022 and 2023.
In this new Pontificate of Leo XIV, the old custom is returning, and in great style: Cardinal Burke is not under any kind of ostracized position anymore, and will celebrate the Mass of Saturday, October 25th, 2025.
So, our call to Catholics in Europe, and those in other continents who are able to attend, is: PLEASE GO. Make our numbers great and known. Make our voice heard as loudly as possible.
The information has been confirmed by the organizers, the Coetus Internationalis Summorum Pontificum.
