The Bishop of Charlotte has addressed the controversies surrounding the Traditional Latin Mass in his diocese and given his view on whether restrictions may be relaxed.
Speaking on the “Jesuitical” podcast of America Magazine, Bishop Michael Martin also insisted his actions to curb the TLM were a straightforward implementation of existing Vatican policy and not a matter of personal preference.
During the podcast, when addressing Catholics attached to the TLM, Bishop Martin began with a qualified acknowledgement: “I don’t want to say that they’re some sort of lunatic fringe. They’re not. These are people who feel strongly about the liturgy, and there’s goodness and holiness in that.”
