De Jure:
It is, therefore, permissible to celebrate the Sacrifice of the Mass following the typical edition of the Roman Missal promulgated by Blessed John XXIII in 1962 and never abrogated. Catholic priests may use the Roman Missal published by Blessed Pope John XXIII in 1962….For such celebrations, the priest has no need for permission from the Apostolic See or from his ordinary. (Summorum Pontificum)
De Facto:
Italian bishop suspends priests for insisting on Latin Mass: Bishop Renato Corti of Novara, Italy, has suspended 3 priests who refused to celebrate Mass on Sunday, according to the newspaper La Stampa. (WDTPRS post)
Seriously, where was the bottom photo taken from? Looks like some traditional priest (judging by the maniple on his left arm) is being dragged away?
Yeah, it was in France I believe in the 80′s. I think the name of the town was Marty. SSPX priest.
I find it interesting that those priests and bishops who say they are upholding the second Vatican Council really disobey it and the Pope and don’t care. In actuality they are Protestant in their actions and beliefs.
John XXIII was blessed and gave us the 1962 Missal, which the late Archbishop Lefebvre praised and supported, and today the SSPX only uses that Missal because the Pope gave it to the Church to use.
Vatican II, no where terminates the Latin Rite nor the 1962 Missal given to the Church by a Pope.
To disobey the Pope and the council is to be Protestant.
But that is where the Novus Ordo is now, so all they can do now is hold onto what they call the “spirit” of Vatican II, because the letter will kill them.

Thanks Ken…
That photo just says it all: the tolerance shown by the New Church of Paul VI
