Rich Leonardi has a report from a Rome operative that all regularly scheduled Masses at St. Peter’s in Rome are now in Latin, except for the readings.<\/a><\/p>\n

Confirmation? Context?<\/p>\n

Here’s the Mass schedule at St. Peter’s from the website of Santa Susanna, the American, Paulist-run parish in Rome, not yet updated. <\/a>Note what’s on top: all Masses in Italian, unless otherwise noted.<\/p>\n

I admit, that never made any sense to me – and struck me as almost…parochial. Masses in St. Peter’s in Italian? Say, whose church is this anyway???<\/p>\n

(There are lots of other Masses going on at St. Peter’s aside from these – early morning is the best time to go. Not that I ever did it, but Michael did, almost every morning – no tourists to speak of, just priests from all over the world coming in to offer Mass in the various chapels. It’s quite a sight, and quite a system, apparently. One of the daily Masses he attended was offered by Cardinal Ruini, whom he saw a few minutes later, praying at John Paul II’s tomb.)<\/p>\n

and….Fr. Z asks for our prayers. He says there is "good news" coming.<\/a><\/p>\n

Update<\/u> on original post: Rich has a more detailed missive from his Rome operative. It is quite interesting and dates the changes to April. Read in this post or at Ten Reasons.<\/a><\/p>\n
