19. Did Pope Francis Just Sideline the Latin Mass?
The big news out of the Vatican this week is that Pope Francis has put major restrictions on the celebration of the Tridentine Latin Mass - a form of the Mass cherished by many traditional Catholics. In this episode, I explore this decision and share some thoughts on it.

Correction: At around 10 minutes in the episode, I give the impression that I know, personally, people who are lovers of the Tridentine Latin Mass and who are also schismatic, hateful of the Pope, or don’t think he is the Pope at all.
On later reflection, I realized that I don’t know a singular person who exemplifies all those characteristics at once. I know many in the Catholic community who do not like Pope Francis. I know some who think he was not the legitimate Pope (their views may have changed since last I talked to them). I know people who are very conservative that love and go to the Latin Mass. But these are all separate sets of people I personally know.
It is easy for me to lump those who have these views into one group. And I do believe, among very conservative Catholics and in Latin Mass communities, these sentiments or leanings are floating in the air. But to say that I personally know people who exemplify all three of these sentiments in one person is wrong. And I apologize for saying it on here.
