    Bishop Tartaglia, gets promotion to Glasgow. I despair , I really do.

    Tartaglia’s attitude to Summorum Pontificum whilst bishop of Paisley was arrogant and not legally correct.

    Bishop Tartaglia claims: If there is to be Mass in the Extraordinary Form in this diocese, it will be according to the regulations of Summorum Pontificum. These regulations will have to be met before I agree to make provision for this kind of Mass. I think that Summorum Pontificum is more demanding than you imagine.

    But there is no need for a bishop to ‘agree to make provision’. Any priest can say the Mass; any Catholic can ask for it. There are no ‘regulations’ in the Motu Proprio; it simply notes that priests saying the Mass should know how to do so.

    Let us hope that his attitude has now changed to the correct one which is outlined in the commentary on his claims above. If not, be prepared to report report report to Rome until it does.

    He was reported to Rome amost three years ago. PLUS CA CHANGE.

     Wasn’t that Conti, rather than Tartaglia, who was holding that position?

  • teigitur

    Both to an extent, but Tartaglia was worse.
