An old Italian priest just gave a remarkable interview to an Italian Catholic journalist, Cinzia Notaro.
Why remarkable?
Because the priest’s words are clear, sensible, and… Catholic.
May they be a comfort and inspiration for many.
The original text, in Italian, was published this morning on Marco Tosatti‘s blog, Stilum Curiae, here.

“I regard the accusations against me as an honor.“ —Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò, 83, in a statement issued today, June 20, 2024, regarding notification he has received, via email, that he is accused of schism by the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith, the highest doctrinal office of the Church
“The Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith has informed me, with a simple email, of the initiation of an extrajudicial penal trial against me, with the accusation of having committed the crime of schism and charging me of having denied the legitimacy of ‘Pope Francis’ of having broken communion ‘with Him’ and of having rejected the Second Vatican Council. I have been summoned to the Palace of the Holy Office on June 20, in person or represented by a canon lawyer. I assume that the sentence has already been prepared, given that it is an extrajudicial process.” —Viganò, in the same statement
“Fifty years ago, in that same Palace of the Holy Office, Archbishop ...
Is the Vatican about to call for the complete end of the old Latin Mass, after three years (since the promulgation of Traditionis custodes on July 16, 2021) of increasing administrative pressure to limit the celebration of the old liturgy worldwide?
That’s what a new report now circulating on the internet is claiming.
Many of you will have already heard of this, and some will have seen podcasts discussing it.
I will be doing a live podcast in about 90 minutes, at 11 am Eastern time in the US (5 pm Rome time) with Matt Gaspers on this question as we continue our regular ongoing comparison and analysis of the old rite and the Novus Ordo.
(Note: I will be doing a second podcast today at 3 pm with Joseph and Monique Gonzalez on Our Lady of Guadalupe.)

Pope Francis celebrated the Feast of Corpus Christi yesterday in Rome. The celebration began with a Mass in the Basilica of St. John Lateran (on the opposite of the city from the Vatican and St. Peter’s) followed by a Eucharistic procession down via Merulana to St. Mary Major.
Corpus Christi (Latin for “The body of Christ”) falls between late May and the middle of June, on the first Thursday after Trinity Sunday (60 days after Easter). In some countries the festival is celebrated on the Sunday following Trinity Sunday.
The Feast celebrates the great mystery of Christ’s nature and presence, and of our “incorporation” into that mystery, that sacrament, for the Greek word “mysterion” is in Latin the word “sacramentum” — that which makes holy. The Catechism of the Catholic Church (Paragraphs #774- 776) explains the meaning of the word Sacrament: “The Greek word mysterion was translated into Latin by two terms: mysterium and sacramentum. In later usage, the term ...
