Cardinal Darío Castrillón Hoyos

Denton, Neb., May 23, 2008 / 01:18 am (CNA).- Cardinal Darío Castrillón Hoyos, President of the Pontifical Commission Ecclesia Dei, will ordain four men to the priesthood for the Priestly Fraternity of St. Peter on Friday, May 30.

The Priestly Fraternity of St. Peter (FSSP) was established in 1988 under Pope John Paul II and has nearly 200 priests and over 100 seminarians studying in Bavaria and Nebraska.  The fraternity’s stated purpose is the sanctification of priests through the faithful celebration of the Extraordinary Form of the Roman Rite, also known as the Tridentine Latin Mass.

As president of the Pontifical Commission Ecclesia Dei, Cardinal Castrillón Hoyos oversees matters concerning the Extraordinary Form. 

The men will be ordained at the Cathedral of the Risen Christ in Lincoln, Nebraska.  The ordination Mass will be broadcast on EWTN at 11 a.m. (EST).

The FSSP’s Our Lady of Guadalupe Seminary, located in rural Denton, Nebraska, has become a global center of study for those interested in the Extraordinary Form.  In 2007, Pope Benedict XVI issued a Motu proprio expanding permission for the celebration of the older liturgy.

Sorry, but the name of the Latin Mass is Mass of John XXIII, not "Tridentine".

Tridentine was an ancient rite, beautiful and solemn, but no longer in practice.

The problem with some latinists is that some can't accept Vatican II as valid.

To disbey Vatican II and the Pope with all the Bishops, is a deviation from the guided-by-the-Spirit- tradition of the Mass in the Catholic Church.

Vatican II is part of the milenary tradition that remains for ever faithful, of Christ, in the Mass. That makes it a very solemn and reverent Liturgy, in which we adore Christ, and are able to participate with him in the mystery of our redemption.
