The British hierarchy asked for and got an exception from him. But really as successors to the Apostles they did not need his permission. All they had to do is ignore it in their dioceses, as that Brazilian bishop did. Then Paul VI proceeded to require a retirement submission at age 75 and replaced the traditionals with progressive appointments so that after some years the situation was completely reversed . All this reminds me of the first Latin speaking Pope Victor I imperiously demanding Asia Minor accept the Roman dating of Easter. With vigorous response from the bishops there and St. Irenaeus, the Pope backed down. The push back must be strong, questioning and constant, all the while being respectful. To me it was indicative of how unaware the bishops at the time of the imposition of the NO of their apostolic authority to continue tradition. This was likely the result of the one-sided understanding of the papacy following Vat I. Though I think a re-introduction of much, but not all, of the ceremonial of the NORMATIVE traditional rite now called extraordinary (meaning de facto, not de jure)would be what Vat II really wanted instead of Paul VI's Mass for most Americans in the vernacular with Latin elements in the ordinary prayers, I fully support the natural expansion of the use of the traditional Mass. I do this because the present NO DOES NOT SUFFICIENTLY OR ADEQUATELY MANIFEST THE PRESENCE OF THE HEAVENLY LITURGY DURING ITS CELEBRATION. The ATTITUDE of the clergy at Mass even when reverent DOES NOT MANIFEST THAT WE ARE SIMULTANEOUSLY CELEBRATING THE HEAVENLY LITURGY WHILE ON EARTH.

I also hope that it becomes such a huge protest that this little man Cardinal Aviz has to resign in disgrace. He should never have been there in the first place.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4404498638452030181.post-84413906359379507492013-08-07T12:20:32.191-07:002013-08-07T12:20:32.191-07:00Writing letters of protest is an excellent idea.

We are more likely to be taken seriously if we are respectful. I'll send letters in the next few days.
