It makes as much sense to me as Richard Dawkins talking about God.<br /><br />I see you have not had any response yet to your request for a response from one person in the Archdiocese of Glasgow. I can tell you that on Sunday May 29th there were 50 people at the 9.45am Traditional Latin Mass at Sacred Heart Church in Glasgow. Sacred Heart Church is the only place in the entire Archdiocese of Glasgow where it is possible, at the moment, to attend the TLM on a Sunday, unless you include the SSPX.<br /><br />Some time ago (January/February 2010 to be precise) there was an exchange of views in the pages of the Scottish Catholic Observer between a Gerald Warner and Mgsr Peter Smith, the chancellor of the Archdiocese of Glasgow. Mr Warner called for dioceses in Scotland to provide training for priests to say the TLM. Mgsr Smith noted that the attendance at Sacred Heart was in the mid-30s and described the existing provision of the TLM as ‘generous’. He also alleged that people in the Archdiocese were not asking their priests to say the TLM.<br /><br />However, the information provided by the parish priest of Sacred Heart, Fr Stephen Dunn, is interesting:<br /><br />Crucially “Summorum Pontificum” lifted the requirement upon priests to receive episcopal approval before saying the old Mass.

Dunn said the advisory note seemed to interpret the Pope’s instructions in a way that effectively turned many of them on their head. In fact, the renowned blogger Fr. John Zuhlsdorf described the advisory document’s interpretation of “Summorum Pontificum” as the “coldest, most hostile I have read so far.”<br />“There were three Glasgow priests signed up to the course in Oxford. After that note came round, two dropped out.<br />http://www.catholicnewsagency.com/news/universae-ecclesiae-one-priests-story/Mikenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2389530333077823143.post-61163395221325773192011-06-08T16:18:46.363+01:002011-06-08T16:18:46.363+01:00I've sent this elsewhere because it so illustr...I've sent this elsewhere because it so illustrates the effect of trad on trad bickering on the general public's perception of Catholicism.<br /><br />"Can't you guys find somewhere else to talk about your fancy dress parties and not within the pages of a national newspaper?"Nnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2389530333077823143.post-55131856459632316722011-06-07T21:11:51.685+01:002011-06-07T21:11:51.685+01:00Tartaglia, Conti.
