Chicago Cardinal Escalates Against Roman Rite: "There Must Be Only One Rite"
He repeated the historical misrepresentations which Cardinal Arthur Roche used at the January 7–8 consistory to polemise against the Mass of all ages.
For Cupich, “with the passage of time and changes in the culture, there is always a need to reform the liturgy.”
Particularly compelling he found Roche's fabulation that, according to Pope Pius V, there ought to be only one rite for celebrating the Mass. [In reality, Pius V allowed all rites older than 200 years.]
For Cupich - who presides over the Eucharist with Asian dragons and allows all sorts of liturgical abuses in his archdiocese - “there can only be one rite as a means of preserving the unity of the church.”
Key ideological concept: “The two main takeaways in reading Cardinal Roche’s remarks are, first, the nature of liturgy itself calls for ongoing reform, and second, that accepting the reform authorized by the Church is a matter of preserving the unity of the Church, as St. Pope Pius V stated - a truth the late Pope Francis recalled.”
