Dedicated to the preservation and promotion of the Sacred Roman Latin Mass
and Sacraments as was used by the Church in 1962

Our Late Holy Father John Paul II wrote: "To all those Catholic faithful who feel attached to some previous liturgical disciplinary forms of the Latin tradition, I wish to manifest my will to facilitate their ecclesial communion by means of the necessary measures to guarantee respect for their rightful aspirations. In this matter I ask support of the bishops and all of those engaged in the pastoral ministry in the Church.. . . respect must everywhere be shown for the feelings of those who are attached to the Latin liturgical tradition by a wide and generous application of the directives already issued some time ago by the Apostolic See, for the use of the Roman Missal."

Apostolic Letter Ecclesia Dei- July 2, 1988
 

"Liturgy must really have great continuity, protected from what is arbitrary, in which I really ... am raised up into a communion of celebration that is something other than what commissions or liturgy committees devise. I am of the opinion, to be sure, that the old rite should be granted much more generously to all those who desire it. It’s impossible to see what could be dangerous or unacceptable about that. A community is calling its very being into question when it suddenly declares that what until now was its holiest and highest possession is strictly forbidden and when it makes the longing for it seem downright indecent. Can it be trusted any more about anything else?"

Joseph Cardinal Ratzinger now Pope Benedict XVI
