What are we to make of the claims that Pope Francis is eliminating the Missal of 1962 as reported by fans of the Extraordinary Rite and the media?
[To Clarify (thanks to a reader's question), "overrode" does not mean "invalidate." Of course, the Extraordinary Form is valid. Iimi uses it in the sense of "to have precedence or superiority over" (SOED). My apologies for those who found the equivocal nature of the word misleading.]
"But if we're going to make that preference into some kind of orthodoxy test, we missed the point."
ReplyDeleteYes. Exactly.
