Coup de Théâtre: French Old Rite Institutes Ask For Mediator
gloria.tv | September 2, 2021In an August 31 letter to the French bishops the superiors of nine male and three female Old Rite institutes express their “great suffering,” as they feel “suspected, sidelined, banished” by Traditionis Custodes.
Using Francis speak, they protest their “adherence” to the "magisterium" since Vatican II, ask for “a human, personal dialogue, full of trust, far from ideologies or the coldness of administrative decrees,” and suggest “that a mediator be designated who will be for us the human face of this dialogue.”
They even quote Amoris Laetitia that encourages the pastors to listen with sensitivity and serenity.
The result of a recent informal meeting, the letter was delivered to three bishops, among them presiding Reims Bishop Eric de Moulins-Beaufort, a fan of female Cardinals.
