Traditionis Custodes

Priests Who Want Holy Water Must Use the ‘Rituale’—Despite Episcopal Prohibition

As is well known by now, the Responsa ad Dubia from the Congregation for Divine Worship, published on December 18, 2021, try to make the continued use of the Rituale Romanum contingent on episcopal permission. This is but one of many falsehoods contained in the document, which, in addition, violates the rights of bishops on numerous points of canon…

Week of Prayer for Christian Unity… but Not with Catholics Attached to the Tradition?

Translated by 1P5 staff For this letter, we’re reusing verbatim the title we gave to our letter #729 (January 15, 2020); it is perfectly topical today, as an opinion piece in La Croix reminds us.

In describing the oddity of a new (but not updated) German translation of a book written by Bishop Rifan of Campos around the year 2006, the author, Clemens Victor Oldendorf, paints a portrait of…

Bishop Schneider Calls on Pope Francis to Rescind Traditionis Custodes

See this article in Spanish here from InfoVaticana. ROME, January 10, 2022 – Bishop Athanasius Schneider is inviting Pope Francis to “rescind” the canonical provisions contained in Traditionis Custodes and in the Responsa ad dubia issued by the Congregation for Divine Worship and the Discipline of the Sacraments (CDW) just before Christmas.  The auxiliary bishop…
