Itaque fratres, state : et tenete traditiones, quas didicistis, sive per sermonem, sive per epistolam nostram.
Epistula II ad Thessalonicenses 2:14 |
Therefore, brethren, stand fast: and hold the traditions, which you have learned, whether by word or by our epistle.
Second Epistle to The Thessalonians 2:14 |
These pages provide some information on the Traditional Roman Rite and in particular the celbration of the older liturgy in the Diocese of Wrexham
The Latin Mass Society, founded in 1965, is an association of Catholic faithful dedicated to the the traditional Latin liturgy of the Catholic Church, the teachings and practices integral to it, the musical tradition which serves it, and the Latin language in which it is celebrated.
The value and continuing importance of the Church’s ‘earlier liturgical traditions’ were affirmed by Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI in his 2007 Motu Proprio Summorum Pontificum (SP), which ruled that the Roman Missal of 1962—‘the Missal of Blessed Pope John XXIII’—had never been abrogated and therefore no prohibition in its use exists. Further instruction followed from the Pontifical Commission 'Ecclesia Dei' in 2011 on the application of the Apostolic Letter Summorum Pontificum.
The Moto Proprio published by the Supreme Pontiff, Francis on the 16th July 2021 is however a regressive document that contrasts against the earlier goodwill of Pope Benedict XVI and Saint John Paul II. More can be read here.
