“many faithful Catholics are being cruelly demoralized - thrown into confusion, which is something the pope admittedly takes joy in, and are purposefully being pushed to the fringe. There will be no place for our voices in the so-called ‘Synod on Synodality.’"
Fr. Bus is wrong on both points. The pope does not take joy when Catholics are demoralized or thrown into confusion, and there is a place for his voice and the voices of others like him in the synod.
I am totally mystified by the hostility to the Extraordinary Form of the Mass. Many people, particularly the young, are disaffected from the Church and drift (or run) away from it. It seems to me that anything that keeps people coming back is something to celebrate and promulgate. Therefore, the Extraordinary Form would seem to me to have a proper place in the Church, and should be encouraged, not stamped out.
I wonder if father bus had waited to see how Cantius was treated and then privately asked (as the Canons did) for similar permission to celebrate Ad Orientem , he may have been able to get it. Sadly I understand Father Bus is also battling stage 4 colon cancer . I would hope Cardinal Cupich will also take this into account in his role as Shepard for this priest.
Fr. Joshua’s last name is Caswell.
