The Franciscan Friars......just following the Pope by saying the Latin Mass

This 2010 video clip shows Fr Pellettieri of the FFI explaining that they follow the example of St Francis when it comes to obedience to the Pope.

Trouble is......which Pope?

Fr Pellettieri is referring to Pope Benedict.

He also explains that the Order is not solely focused on the EF Mass and that it celebrates the OF Mass according to custom and to the wishes of the local Bishop.

It all sounds so very temperate and sensible.

 

Sign the petition....please sign it

                          

The events surrounding the Franciscan Friars of the Immaculate and the draconian move to curtail their legitimate celebration of the Latin Mass have been rumbling on for some time now.

And, as it all unfolds, disillusionment and disaffection sets in; the perfect scenario so loved by the devil.

The Eponymous Flower has link details of a petition demanding the dismissal of the priest who was parachuted in to take over control of the order, Fr Fidenzio Volpi.

And quite right too. The move to subjugate the order was overbearing and smacks of the work of the limp wristed brigade within the Vatican.

Go HERE for the link and, I know we seem to be swamped by petitions, but this is one that cries out for signatures - and justice.
