Seminary Visited by the Pope Bans Traditional Latin Mass

Quite disappointing that this kind of thing is still going on anywhere in the Catholic world, in light of Summorum Pontificum, and the fact that Pope Benedict held his last event at Oscott at the end of his last visit to Britain.

Seminarians at St Mary's College, Oscott, in Birmingham recently asked the rector if they could have the Extraordinary Form celebrated there – note, they did not ask to be trained how to say it.

The answer? Essentially, get stuffed, but couched in genial and friendly language. Oscott, which trains priests from the Midlands and North of England, has decided that Summorum Pontificum – which requires that a group of the faithful have the old Mass celebrated for them if they make an appropriate request – does not apply within its walls. But seminarians are generously told that they can attend the EF elsewhere (like every other Catholic in the world).

Some of the students are pretty disgusted by this ruling: not only does it go against the letter and spirit of Benedict XVI's legislation, but the "House Notes" in which the news was broken also seem to play the trick of turning the request for the celebration of the Mass (which should be automatically granted) into one for special training in it (which is easier to turn down).

The Rise of Latin Youth

Liberal bishops dismissed Summorum Pontificum, Pope Benedict XVI's apostolic constitution authorizing wider use of the traditional Latin mass, as a bone thrown to over-the-hill conservatives. But Pope Benedict XVI probably wrote it more for the young than the old.

One of the points he stressed in his letter accompanying Summorum Pontificum was that "what earlier generations held as sacred remains sacred for us too." He had previously written that the widespread contempt for the old mass -- the treatment of it as something "forbidden" -- constituted an act of self-mutilation for a religion predicated on tradition.

Amazing Latin Mass Society at Belmont Abbey College

It’s a Friday night on a college campus. Students walk out of their dorms in the dead of winter, their breath billowing out in puffs of steam, greeting friends with nods and handshakes, hopping into cars and convoying over 30 minutes to a nearby city.

It’s a typical scene on many college campuses across the country, but these aren’t your typical college students. These are members of the Latin Mass Society at Belmont Abbey College, preparing to attend the candle-lit Solemn High Mass at St. Ann’s Catholic Church in Charlotte.

“It shows the power of God,” Belmont Abbey College student Anthony Perlas told The Cardinal Newman Society. ”Twenty-three people on a Friday night going to Latin Mass. Wow. It’s amazing. ”
