Historic TLM to Go Forward With New Celebrant

The Paulus Institute has announced that the April 24 Mass at the high altar of the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception (coinciding with Pope Benedict's five year inauguration anniversary) will go forward. However, they are seeking another bishop to celebrate the historic TLM. The announcement came after abuse victims expressed concern over the presence of the originally scheduled celebrant, Cardinal Hoyos, in light of recent controversy. A Paulus Institute press release indicates that "This action will help maintain the solemnity, reverence and beauty of the Mass."
