Cardinal Arthur Roche indicated that Pope Leo XIV is not expected to revoke Traditionis Custodes or restore the broader permissions for the Traditional Latin Mass established under Pope Benedict XVI. For Catholics attached to the traditional liturgy, the announcement is a significant development and a disappointment. John-Henry Westen speaks with theologian Professor William Thomas, a classmate of Pope Leo, who argues that the Latin Mass continues to attract growing numbers of faithful. Latin, he contends, is not a preference; it is a vital expression of Catholic identity, sacred tradition, and continuity with the Church’s historical worship. The debate over the Latin Mass is not about liturgy.
