The Catholic Herald has secured an exclusive response from Cardinal Gambetti on the future of the Traditional Latin Mass.
The young curial cardinal, regarded by many as a handpicked protégé of Pope Francis, offered a brief but telling reply. The Catholic Herald asked the Cardinal whether we could inquire about the Traditional Latin Mass and its future status. He responded: “Better not answer that. I have been told that we will wait for the Holy Father to decide.”
The remark is notable for its clarity in signalling that the College of Cardinals is awaiting direction from the Pope himself. While other cardinals have in recent months expressed personal views on the future of the liturgy, Cardinal Gambetti stressed the need to leave the question in the hands of the Holy Father.
