(LIFESITE NEWS) – The implementation in France of “Traditionis Custodes,” the Motu proprio by which Pope Francis is attempting to relegate the traditional liturgy of the Catholic Church in ever-decreasing “reserves,” has already caused much suffering as some French bishops have chosen severely to restrict celebrations according to the usus antiquior.
Some weeks back, at the initiative of the organizers of the yearly traditional Pentecost pilgrimage from Paris to Chartres, along with friendly associations, an appeal was sent to the president of the French Bishops’ conference, Archbishop Eric de Moulins-Beaufort, requesting an appointment that would allow designated lay representatives of the traditional Catholic community in France to present their concerns.
The letter was not initially made public, in order to give the archbishop the opportunity to reply and to propose a meeting in a spirit of goodwill.
