A few days ago was published the press release on the conference that friends of Belluno would keep us on 8 January (see news of Jan. 6) on the response of the bishop of Belluno - Feltre, S. Etc. Rev.ma Bishop Andrich, on their request for the celebration of St. Mass according to the extraordinary form of the Roman Rite (the "Tridentine Mass"), the response of the bishop, as appears from the record below, and this seems unexceptionable bodes well. To friends of Belluno compliments and best wishes!
The bishop replied by letter of the "One Voice" that wants to preserve the Tridentine rite
Mass in Latin, now it's up to the parish priests
Andrich: "We no longer have to assess our prelates"
Even on Sunday when a group asks
The Holy Mass in the Tridentine rite soon also will be celebrated in Belluno. At least that is the hope of Una Voce, an international, well-structured around the Triveneto, born twenty years ago for the Protection of Traditional Latin liturgy of the Catholic Church. The association, in the province represented by Mirco Rabin, December 1, wrote to the bishop, Monsignor Giuseppe Andrich, requiring the grant of the celebration of Mass in Latin with the Mass of St. Pius V.
According to the Motu proprio (literally "own initiative", by definition a decision of the pope who was not proposed by any agency of the Roman Curia), the priests shall not require any permission to use the old rite Masses in overtime while , if there are stable groups of people who are asking the pastor to the ancient liturgy, this will also be granted in the Sunday celebrations of the parish.
The bishop of Belluno-Feltre replied, on 17 December, through a letter from the vicar general, Father Luigi Del Favero. The letter reads: "In accordance with the provisions and total respect for the Apostolic Letter Motu Proprio, the invitation, where the conditions laid down, to turn confidently to her parish priest. As indicated in the Letter of His Holiness to the bishops, the rules also meant to free Bishops from constantly having to evaluate anew how they are to respond to different situations. "
Green light, then. The ball, at this point, go to the parish priests. "We are confident Rabini explained yesterday during a press conference, also attended by Maurilio Cavedine and Nicola, A Voice of Verona. Christmas, after only one Mass, in front of the church of San Pietro in Belluno and Sedico we collected sixty signatures. All people who said she was willing to return to the ancient rite. Not for nostalgia, but because that has a sacred ritual that the Mass of Paul VI did not. " "Latin has added Cavedine Nicholas Church does not divide, but unites the understanding is first of all understanding of the contents of the ritual, and only later of the words." The problem now is mainly to find a priest willing to celebrate the old Mass every Sunday and on the holy days of obligation (info: www.unavoce-ve.it or telephone 338 6429958).
