Traditional Catholic media outlet Rorate Caeli reported that "the most credible sources, in different continents," including from "circles close to" Cardinal Arthur Roche, the prefect for the Dicastery for Divine Worship divulged that "An attempt is being made to implement, as soon as possible, a Vatican document with a stringent, radical, and final solution banning the Traditional Latin Mass."
"The same ideologues who imposed Traditionis Custodes and its implementation, and who are still frustrated with its apparently slow results, especially in the United States and France, want to ban it and shut it down everywhere and immediately. They want to do it while Francis is still in power. They want to make it as wide, final, and irreversible as possible," Rorate reported. Traditionis Custodes is the Latin Mass-restricting document that was issued by Pope Francis in July 2021.
The outlet urged readers to take its sources "as seriously as possible, and do what you can in your station, as laity, priests, bishops, cardinals, religious men and women, to prevent the ban from becoming a concrete measure." It added that its sources were the same to reveal "that a document like Traditionis Custodes would come."
This news comes following Cardinal Raymond Burke saying that the document and Pope Francis' Latin Mass restrictions have backfired. "If the intention with the latest legislation Traditionis Custodes and other documents which followed it was to discourage or to decrease the attraction of the holy liturgy according to the Usus Antiquior, it had, I would say, the exactly opposite effect," he said.
"This should not be surprising. One has to think that a form of the Roman rite which has nourished so profoundly and produced so many saints, the declared saints, even let’s say hidden saints, it is not possible that this rite be canceled, that it be eliminated from the life of the Church.”
