Name: Patricia McKeever on Aug 12, 2008Comments: From the outset, the bishops of the UK have displayed utter contempt for the Pope's Motu Proprio, Summorum Pontificum, a contempt which reveals their hatred for the Traditional Mass. Bishop Roche's public disobedience in this matter is scandalous. Urgent action is required. Patricia McKeever, Editor, Catholic Truth www.catholictruthscotland.comFlag

Name: Richard Hargreaves on Aug 13, 2008Comments: Although Bishop Roche has some good qualities, he has performed disasterously over this issue. An honourable man would withdraw the proposals for closure and then have real consultation. I speak as a parisioner of one of the parishes in the Leeds Diocese which is being merged and in our case, there was no consultation whatsoever.Flag

Name: K.wheelan on Aug 13, 2008Comments: Please think again, Bishop Roche, those who love the TLM aren't nasty, vengeful people bringing the Church into disrepute.The Holy Sacrifice of the Mass when offered licitly is precisely ....The Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. The Motu Proprio of the Holy Father has clarified that priests can offer the TLM if they are able to.Why would you want to position yourself contra to the Motu Proprio and the wishes of the Holy FatherFlag
