Private Mass of Pope Francis: Crucifix and Candles on the Altar

(Rio de Janeiro) The pictures published by the daily newspaper La Informacion  shows Pope Francis at the private celebration of Mass on Tuesday at the residence of Sumaré where the head of the Church lives during his Brazil visit to Rio de Janeiro.  Accion Liturgica drew attention to the candlesticks and a crucifix  that were centrally placed on the altar.
These were corresponding elements of the liturgical renewal during the pontificate of Benedict XVI.,  to clarify that the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass was never ad populum , but always celebrated ad Deum  even in the Novus Ordo with a Volksaltar [Cramner Table] and and the attitude of the priest executed facing the nave of the church.
The four candles are in accordance with the prescriptions by Saint Pope Pius V in the "Tridentine Mass", according to the old practice  for a private exhibition of a bishop, and in the specific case of the Pope. According to the regulation, the candles are conformed to the crucifix in the middle altar in materials and workmanship.

The Pope is facing the people like in the Novus Ordo which is illicit. I want the full sacrifice of the Latin Tridentine Mass not just parts of it. This only confuses catholics even more and is just more diabolical disorientation as spoken by Sister Lucia of Fatima.

I want - that's what Henry VIII said...

Things are pretty bad when the Pope having a crucifix on the altar at a private Mass is worthy of note.

It’s another indicator that he is bowing to sensibilities he would never have agreed to as Archbishop of Buenos Aires.
