VATICAN CITY (LifeSiteNews) — After vigorously implementing Pope Francis restrictions on the traditional Mass, Cardinal Arthur Roche has said there is “nothing wrong” with the Latin Mass but that the Church wished to “move away from what had become an overly elaborate form of celebrating the Mass.”
Prefect of the Dicastery for Divine Worship and the Discipline of the Sacraments (DDW) since May 2021, Cardinal Arthur Roche has overseen the radical restrictions imposed on the traditional Latin Mass by Pope Francis since July of that year.
