This Time, It's the Bishop of South Bend Who Violates Sumorum Pontificum



Edit: this is in addition to the fiasco in Texas. Here's a link which explodes Marshall Taylor's flawed expose on the school at Harvesting the Fruit of Vatican II. Why have rules if you don't follow them?

Dear Father Jenkins:

Thank you for your visit today. I am writing you to state formally what I told you during our meeting. These norms take effect immediately.

1. You do not have permission to have the public celebration of the Ordinary Form of the Mass at the Chapel of Notre Dame University. This includes Sundays and weekdays. The weekly celebration of the Ordinary Form is available to the faithful every Sunday at St. Anthony de Padua Catholic Church in South Bend.

2. You may only have the celebration of the Mass in the Extraordinary Form by priests who explicitly have faculties for such celebration as granted by me as the Bishop of Fort Wayne-South Bend.

3. Failure to comply with the above-stated norms will result in my withdrawal of permission to celebrate the Eucharist in your chapel along with withdrawal of permission to reserve the Blessed Sacrament in the closet down the hall from the Chapel.

I make these norms out of my pastoral solicitude and care for the students of Notre Dame University as well as for your own soul. I urge you to comply with them. Please convey to your students my gratitude for their gift of the collected works of Hans Kung. Please assure them of their presence in my prayers. I remain,

Sincerely Yours In Christ,

Most Rev. Kevin C. Rhoades Bishop of Fort Wayne-South Bend

100% True!
