Children and young people should not be allowed to attend such Masses,’ the dissident priest demanded


April 14, 2021 (LifeSiteNews) — The dissident former editor of Jesuit-run America Magazine, Fr. Thomas J. Reese, S.J., has launched a scathing attack on traditional Catholics and the traditional Mass, declaring that the form of the Mass which was the norm before the Second Vatican Council should “disappear,” and that children should be banned from attending it.

Fr. Reese’s April 13 piece appeared at Religion News Service, and was entitled “The future of Catholic liturgical reform.”

He hailed the “revolutionary liturgical reforms” which were proposed by Vatican II and furthered by Pope Paul VI, declaring that it was now time for a “second phase” in their implementation. Reese thus offered his own arguments, as a way to “get the conversation going” on the topic, and asking liturgical scholars to consider his proposals.

Some of these guys really need to get out of the '60's. Paul VI has been dead for a long, long time.

Next pope should reform the Jesuit order and see how they like it.

He seems to be claiming that the TLM is not compatible with modern theology


I agree, but I see that as a condemnation of modern theology, not the TLM

Yeah he's on the wrong side of this one if he wants modern theology to win out.

They would like to forbid them from attending because they know they are unable to compete.

Don't the Chinese forbid young people from attending Mass too? Is dissident Reese a wannabe ChiCom?

Seems so imo. Things are getting scary.

I could see Summorum Pontificum from 2007 being rescinded by pope Francis and thus shutting down hundreds, nae thousands of Latin Masses each week. I really could see that happening. That would be such a bad move. I'm not an obligate Latin Mass guy myself, but more of an opportunist Latin Mass guy. Still, I would be miffed if they shut them all down.

And Fr. Z weighs in: A Jesuit's brilliant notions about needed liturgical reform. What could go wrong?
