With the Catholic world still reeling from the Motu Proprio Traditionis Custodes, most bishops have met the announcement by either saying nothing or expressing their intention to allow the Latin Mass to proceed as normal.
Nonetheless, a number of reports today have suggested that some bishops are wasting no time in telling devotees of the Latin Mass that they will not be allowed so access the Traditional Mass immediately.
One such parish is the Latin Mass community in Glastonbury, England.
In a short statement released today, Fr. Bede Rowe wrote:
Following the Motu Proprio and instruction from Bishop Declan, the 12.30pm Latin Mass at Glastonbury will be the final Latin Mass here.
Our Community continues to offer our prayers for the parishes which have been entrusted to our care.
Dom Bede & Dom Ansel
Nonetheless, some high level liberal prelates such as Wilton Gregory have said that they will not be clamping down on the Latin Mass in the immediate future.
