Letter #62, 2025, Tuesday, September 9: Latin MassA quick note on an important matter: the London Times is reporting that Pope Leo has granted the request of American Cardinal Raymond Leo Burke to celebrate Mass in St. Peter’s Basilica in October according to the old Latin rite. Many have been watching to see how Pope Leo acts with regard to the old liturgy. The old Mass was revised under Pope Paul VI in the 1960s. Now, four years later, under Pope Leo, Catholics are wondering how Pope Leo will address this liturgical question. This permission granted Cardinal Burke seems to indicate some willingness on Leo’s part to “rehabilitate” the old Mass.
