What happened?
the Grand Master of the Order of Malta has banned public liturgical ceremonies in the Extraordinary Form of the Roman Rite.
A letter from Fra’ Giacomo Dalla Torre was sent to all grand priory and national association presidents saying that “henceforth all the liturgical ceremonies within our Order must be performed according to the ordinary rite of the Church … and not the extraordinary rite (Tridentine rite).” The order was to be put into practice “immediately”.
