According to Cardinal Matteo Zuppi, there are no special “signs” to be read into his attendance and presiding over Vespers for a recent annual Traditional Latin Mass (TLM) pilgrimage to Rome, named after Benedict XVI’s apostolic letter Summorum Pontificum, acknowledging the right of all priests to offer Mass according to the 1962 Roman Missal.
As reported by Andrea Gagliarducci for the Catholic News Agency, the pilgrimage by the People of Summorum Pontificum “predates the recent restrictions and changes decreed by Pope Francis”, while the President of the Episcopal Conference of Italy said he received an invitation before he was appointed to that role and agreed to it “not thinking there was anything wrong”.
