Pope Benedict XVI is going ahead with his plan to allow more churches to use the old Latin mass, a concession to traditionalists that has caused concern among those fearing a rollback of one of the Vatican’s key liberalizing reforms.
The pope talked to a group of European and U.S. prelates, the Vatican said Thursday, in what was considered an unusual meeting underlining the resistance created by his proposal.
The statement said the meeting was called to “illustrate the content and the spirit” of the document, which will be sent to all bishops and be made public in the next few days.
