N.B. This is happening all over the country and can be described roughly as “bishop vs. priests.” The primary duty of the priest, many of whom see the liturgy through a traditional lense, is placed in the hands of modernist and, in some cases. heretic “experts” who invite armies of laity to invade the sanctuary and gratuitously malform the Mass into a species of “Christmas play” where everybody gets a part. From sacred to mundane in the extreme. Vocations killer. Which might, in fact, be the plan.
Outcry over proposed norms in the North Carolina diocese is rising to international attention, as it represents the first major liturgical dispute during the reign of Pope Leo XIV.
Controversy in a North Carolina diocese has broadened beyond traditional Latin Mass restrictions after it was revealed that the local bishop had also planned to ban the use of Latin, altar rails, and other traditional practices in all diocesan liturgies — a development with implications far beyond the Tar Heel State.
Bishop Michael Martin of Charlotte proposed the restrictions in a leaked draft of new liturgical norms, which was first made public by the blog Rorate Caeli on May 28 and confirmed by the Register. Bishop Martin wrote that the purpose of the new norms, which also included barring ad orientemworship and traditional prayers at the foot of the altar, including the St. Michael Prayer, were made with the intention of “purifying and unifying the celebration of the Mass” in the diocese.
