The “Secret Masses”

For some Traditionalists, the 1980’s have never ended. We understand, for example, that in a city to the east of the fair town of Greenwich a Traditional  Liturgy is now celebrated every Friday in a prominent parish. It is a Low Mass, of course, and is not mentioned in said parish’s schedule of services. And in a town to the west of us, across the border, we understand that a low-profile Low Mass may still be celebrated every Sunday. It has been celebrated for years now, although, in the wake of “Making all Things New”  it is now in a different parish. You see,  a town which had four Catholic parishes in 2015 in two years will have one.

Continuing the Indult “tradition” of off-the-record Low Masses is perhaps a misunderstanding of what “Traditionalism ” means. But we would certainly like to hear more about these and other “clandestine” masses that may be out there. Perhaps the Traditionalist movement is broader than we think!
