Francis Imposes Concelebration For Priests Living in Rome
You shouldnt be going to the New Mas at all! It is illicit and schismatic!
Roberto de Mattei writes in Corrispondenza Romana about a secret working
paper of the Congregation for the Clergy, which is circulating in Roman
Seminaries and Collegios, i.e. houses where priests, who study in Rome
live. The paper wants that the young priests stop saying Holy Mass and
participate instead in mass-concelebrations.
According to De Mattei, already on April 1st 2017 Pope Francis tried to denigrate the celebration of Mass as "individualism" and recommended concelebration instead, while addressing priests, who study in Rome.
According to De Mattei, the working paper writes in bold that "the concelebrated Mass is to be preferred to the individual celebration". The paper invites the superiors of the Collegios to encourage this by having up to three concelebrations a day.
De Mattei points out, that this new disposition violates Canon 902 of the Code of Canon Law according to which priests "can concelebrate the Eucharist" but "they are completely free to celebrate the Eucharist individually."
