Francis’s Illicit War on the Latin Mass

Dr Kwasniewski argued in two previous comments that the Pope’s Motu Proprio, Traditionis Custodes, is so outside his competence as Pope that no Catholic is obliged to obey his directions.

In John-Henry Weston’s discussion with Chris Ferrara, Unpacking Pope Francis’ war on Latin Mass Catholics and why it matters for everyone else, well-known Catholic lawyer Ferrara goes into the nitty-gritty of Traditionis Custodes and the just-released answers to a series of concocted ‘dubias’ to show how absurd it all is. I am in full agreement with Ferrara’s analysis. It is precisely what I think of the Motu Proprio and it is the stance I have adopted towards it.
