Pope Leo XIV has said that divisions over the Traditional Latin Mass risk turning into ideology, warning that the liturgy must never be used as a “political tool.”
His comments came in the second part of an interview with Crux, conducted by Elise Ann Allen, in which he discussed the aims of a new study group on the liturgy.
He explained that the group had been created to address the question of inculturation. “How to continue the process of making the liturgy more meaningful within a different culture, within a specific culture, in a specific place at any given time — I think that was the primary issue,” he said.
