The annual Latin Mass pilgrimage to Rome will not feature a Mass in the Vatican this year, with Bishop Athanasius Schneider instead offering Mass in St. Mary Major’s.
What was viewed last year as a change in tune regarding the traditional Mass at St. Peter’s Basilica is now viewed in a more nuanced light. Organisers for the annual Ad Petri Sedem pilgrimage to Rome have announced that once again the pilgrims will process into the Vatican and pray at St. Peter’s relics, but that they cannot have a Mass celebrated there.
