Fr. Z is petitioning priests to say Mass on August 1st for Cupich. For forgiveness, and that he won’t spiritually murder the Chicago Institute parish.
I’d like to join that petition with a petition of my own. I petition all priests reading this post to say the True Mass (only) on August 1st for the Institute, that they resist the shutdown and continue to say public TLMs only in apparent disobedience, not real disobedience. For the parish to stand its ground. In the likes of the saintly Archbishop Lefebvre.
The decision they make in the days ahead will have a domino effect on the trad movement for years to come. IF they accept a suppression, their sheep go unfed, and a precedent is set. That if illicitly suppressed, Ecclesia Dei institutes will likely passively comply with the final eradication of Tradition. OR, that they are not afraid of being falsely accused of rebellion or schism, for resisting.
