ROME — Pope Francis cracked down on conservative Catholics on Friday, repealing inclusive measures by his predecessors Pope John Paul II and Pope Benedict XVI and imposing new restrictions on the traditional Latin Mass.

In his apostolic letter titled Traditionis Custodes (“Guardians of Tradition”), the pope has banned the celebration of the traditional Latin Mass — sometimes called the “Tridentine” Mass, in reference to the 16th-century Council of Trent — in Catholic parishes and lifted existing accommodations to priests who want to use the extraordinary form of the Catholic liturgy.

Local bishops may designate one or more locations where the faithful adherents of traditional groups may gather for the eucharistic celebration, he declares, but “not however in the parochial churches.”

While providing for the spiritual needs of groups “that celebrate according to the Missal antecedent to the reform of 1970,” the pope writes, bishops are to establish a series of new strictures and to refrain from authorizing “the establishment of new groups.”

The present letter reverses measures to relax restrictions on the use of the traditional form by Pope Benedict XVI, who, in 2007, noted that many of the faithful have continued to be attached with “love and affection to the earlier liturgical forms which had deeply shaped their culture and spirit.”

In recognition of this diversity, Pope John Paul II sought greater inclusiveness by granting the faculty of using the older form and “exhorted bishops to make broad and generous use of this faculty on behalf of all the faithful who sought it,” Benedict wrote.

Benedict went on to establish that the Roman Missal promulgated by Pope Paul VI “is the ordinary expression of the lex orandi (rule of prayer) of the Catholic Church of the Latin rite” whereas the Roman Missal promulgated by Saint Pius V “is nonetheless to be considered an extraordinary expression of the same lex orandi of the Church and duly honoured for its venerable and ancient usage.”

For his part, Pope Francis has now asserted that the 1970 Roman Missal is not the “ordinary expression” but rather “the unique expression of the lex orandi of the Roman Rite” (emphasis added). The new, exclusive ruling seems to eliminate the older form of the Mass as a legitimate expression of the lex orandi of the Church, despite its venerable tradition.

Pope Benedict had granted broad faculties to Catholic priests who wished to say Masses in private using the Roman Missal published in 1962, declaring that to do so “the priest needs no permission from the Apostolic See or from his own Ordinary.”

According to Francis’ new restrictions, priests who wish to celebrate using the Roman Missal of 1962 “should submit a formal request to the diocesan Bishop who shall consult the Apostolic See before granting this authorization.”

“Previous norms, instructions, permissions, and customs that do not conform to the provisions of the present Motu Proprio are abrogated,” Francis decrees.

"Jesuit Pope declares 'Satan wasn't such a bad dude, after all!'" "SUBSEQUOR Satanas!"

"Lucifer is part of the Large Binocular Telescope, which happens to be right next to the Vatican Observatory on Mt. Graham in Safford. That's right, the Vatican has an observatory in Arizona, manned by Jesuit astronomers. Now its next-door neighbor is named for the Devil.Apr 23, 2010" They changed the telescope name to LUCI when conspiracy theorists made a ruckus.

Some say the Vatican also has a satellite named Lucifer. Probably apocryphal info, but fun.

This is why I do not consider catholicism a religion. It changes with the wind. What God has commanded is not to be changed by man.

I agree.

It's like he's actively trying to destroy what is left of Catholicism.

The point of religion is that it's supposed to be eternal truth.

To help Catholicism the most, he should do just the opposite and make Latin mass obligatory once again. People would be much more interested in it.

Interesting economic view of the emergence of protestantism is that the protestants offered salvation for a lower price:

https://www.researchgate.net/publication/287706475_The_Political_Economy_of_the_Medieval_Church

Official Church documents (papal bulls dealing with indulgences), sanctioned differential pricing for these tickets out of purgatory. Vatican records provide clear and surprising pricing schemes for these benefits, price schedules with multiple tiers. The most elaborate scheme was developed by Jasper Ponce, the papal agent to England during the papacy of Alexander VI (1492–1503). Ponce’s schedule included three categories of givers, with each category containing four to seven separate tariffs based on ranges of annual personal income (see Lunt 1962: 60–64, 494, 586). This coterie of product (p. 317) innovations and most especially the use of plenary indulgences, expiating all time in purgatory, was the tipping point for Luther’s successful entry into the Christian market in the early sixteenth century. Increasingly intricate price discriminatory (first- or second-degree) schemes in the sale of indulgences brought Roman Catholic Christian demanders to the margin of purchase. Luther’s innovation stresses an all-or-nothing offer of an afterlife with a lower entry price—salvation was determined by faith alone, which marked a return to Roman Catholic teaching prior to the innovations of the high Middle Ages. In contrast to Roman teaching, Luther maintained that “everyone is a priest”; hence, no one requires an intermediary between him- or herself and God. Luther used Protestant simplicity and the flagrant financial abuses of the Church to make good his entry into the market for Christian religion. Reformers, such as Zwingli and Calvin, followed with similar entry devices. ...

Monopoly came to an end with Protestant entry in the early sixteenth century. This development was founded on both “spiritual abuses,” such as the sale of indulgences and the concomitant lower full price of Christian belief offered by the Protestants (simpler services, no “intermediaries” between man and God, and other cost-lowering devices).

Guy Fawkes was not a hero, but an anti-Democratic Jesuit Agent out to install an absolute Monarch who would impose Jesuitism on the country against the 90%+ majority.
