While the papacy has called for a ‘Listening Church,’ a theology of ‘encounter,’ and a Church that is willing to go to the margins, the Brothers here question the appropriateness of Cardinal Cupich’s swift sanctions on Latin Mass communities within the Archdiocese of Chicago, and that, without any dialogue between the faithful and their bishop. The Brothers also offer (1) a side-by-side analysis of the Ordinary and Extraordinary texts of the Roman Rite, (2) a list of common abuses of the Novus Ordo that have prevailed for too long, and (3) a practical guide to brining your own parish’s Novus Ordo in line with the (actual) calls of Vatican 2 and the General Instruction on the Roman Missal.
