Becoming aware - as if he didn't know - that some of his priests celebrate occasionally the Novus Ordo “ad orientum” [correct: ad orientem], Venice Bishop Frank Dewane, Florida, claimed in a January 25 decree that the General instruction of the Roman Mass expects the priest to face the people adding that any other interpretation of the norms is "mistaken." Following his private interpretation and choice, he orders his priests to preside the Eucharist "facing the people and not impose their own private choices."

Father Michael Pfleger of St Sabina Parish, Chicago, Illinois, presided on 6 June 2021 a sacrilegious Corpus Christi Eucharist during which masked participants exchanged big hugs as a "sign of peace." One man came up to the meal-table. Pfleger hugged him and patted his shoulder. Unfortunately, during the ambiguous encounter, Pfleger's sleeve got caught on a mini canoe containing supposedly consecrated hosts, and pulled them down. The hosts tumbled around on the meal-table. Others fell on the floor. A co-presiding priest and Pfleger collected them like leaves in autumn. Pfleger commonly makes up the words of consecration, and uses a wooden chalice and a canoe for the hosts. Chicago's Archbishop Cupich who presides and promotes sacrileges but cracks down on the Roman Mass, is happy with this. #newsAvdspimvwy
