Confusion has emerged over reports that Vatican officials instructed Anglican Ordinariate clergy to concelebrate and abandon certain traditional ceremonial roles at solemn Mass, after a senior bishop publicly denied key elements of the claim. However, this is contradicted by separate sources, who maintain a limited meeting did take place. The guidance, purportedly discussed during a recent meeting in Rome, would be a further mark of ongoing efforts by the Holy See to standardise liturgical practice along the lines of the liturgical reform of the 1960s, even within communities established to preserve elements of particular patrimony and traditions.
