As many cities across the globe reel from the self harm of Latin Mass crackdowns, a group of Catholics in the Arlington and Washington DC area took to the streets today to express their wish to see it restored.
Carrying banners stating ‘What earlier generations held as sacred remains sacred’ and ‘Save the Traditional Mass’, the Summorum Pontificum event was intended to petition for ‘The Restoration of the Traditional Latin Mass’.
Those marching said Rosaries on their route from one suppressed church to another.
Speakers at the event decried the ‘rupture’ brought about by the suppressions, quoting Pope Benedict XVI.
They also pointed out that we all have rights within the church as baptised and that it was not merely priests, bishops and consecrated persons who got to have their voices heard.
Tens of thousands followed the event live online at Breitbart.
Let us pray for these communities, many of them young families, so that they may have their Latin Mass restored.
