Toronto Archdiocese cracks down on the traditional Latin Masses.
Cardinal Francis Leo of Toronto, Canada, is implementing 'Traditionis Custodes', effective next Sunday.
VoxCantor.blogspot.com published a terrifying detail: One Sunday per month, the Novus Ordo must be said.
At the parish St. Vincent, the old high altar will be used. At the parish Holy Family the Novus Ordo will be presided over with the back to God facing the people.
And: No other sacraments are permitted according to the 1962 usage.
There are four major parish churches in the Archdiocese of Toronto celebrating the Roman rite:
- St. Lawrence the Martyr Parish — Scarborough
- St. Patrick’s Parish — Schomberg
- Holy Family Parish — Toronto
- St. Vincent de Paul Parish — Toronto
The Masses at Schomberg and Scarborough have existed for over 40 years.
All four parishes have sufficient Novus Ordo Eucharists in various languages.
The numbers are interesting, too. At these four Masses and two celebrated by the Priestly Fraternity of St. Pius X, there are not more than 1,200 people attending, and that is a generous estimate; it may be less than 1,000. The population of Toronto is around 3 million, while the wider metropolitan area has a population of over 7 million.
