Masses Prohibited During Argentinian Roman Rite Pilgrimage

Worse than Germany: The Apostolic Administrator of the Diocese of San Rafael, Argentina, Bishop Marcelo Mazzitelli, did not authorize the celebration of the Mass in the Roman rite during the pilgrimage Nuestra Señora de la Cristiandad, except on the final day, reports ElWanderer.com on May 14.

The pilgrimage to Luján scheduled for August 15-17 follows the model of the Chartres pilgrimage. Last year, there were about 3,000 participants.

Such restrictions are uncommon even in Germany or Italy.

The celebrant for the German pilgrimage in the Roman rite, held at Corpus Christi on June 4–7 in Altötting, Bavaria, is Bishop Marian Eleganti.
