Bishop Schneider: "I have asked Msgr. Fellay not to delay his acceptance any longer"“The movement to restore the traditional Mass is the work of the Holy Spirit, and is unstoppable”

Our partners at Adelante La Fe (Rorate in Spanish) today published an exclusive interview with His Excellency Bishop Athanasius Schneider. The answers he gives are very blunt and bold -- even for the great bishop. It's pretty clear even by just skimming his answers that he believes the time has come for the Society of St. Pius X (SSPX). 

HEADLINES

“There are many places where priests act more like Protestant ministers than Catholic priests”

“There are families that must travel more than 100 km (60 mi) so that they can go to a dignified Mass and hear sound doctrine”

“The faithful must ask the priests for kneelers so that they can kneel”

“We have a eucharistic-heart disease, and as long as we fail to heal it, the whole body will remain ill and will not produce fruit”

“In today’s climate, it’s a true miracle that we have vocations”

“Gender ideology is a depravity, a final form of Marxism”

“If they can, parents should withdraw their children from schools where they are taught gender ideology”

WikkiMissa now back online as MesseMonde

WikkiMissa was the indispensable guide to Traditional Latin Masses throughout the world in the years immediately after Summorum Pontificum. Here at Rorate we used to post periodic appeals to our readers to help update it; it was important not only as a reference for travelers who wanted to attend the Traditional Latin Mass, but also as a resource for measuring the growth of the TLM celebrations from one end of the world to another. Unfortunately it went offline late last year. 

We are happy to inform our readers that WikkiMissa is now back online as MesseMonde. It seems that the website is still being rebuilt, and understandably the Mass listings are far from complete. Just like the old WikkiMissa, MesseMonde can be edited by readers, and we encourage our readers to go there and update the Mass listings as accurately as possible.
