UK Catholic Leaders Welcome Pope's Lift on Latin Mass Restrictions

Catholic leaders in the UK have welcomed the announcement from the Pope that restrictions will be lifted on the Latin Tridentine Mass.

The head of the Roman Catholic Church in England and Wales, Cardinal Cormac Murphy-O'Connor, has welcomed the Pope's decision to remove restrictions on the Latin Tridentine Mass.

The announcement came in a motu proprio - similar to a papal decree - from Pope Benedict XVI over the weekend, setting out the norms for celebrating the Eucharist and clarifying the celebration of Mass in Latin according to the 1962 Roman Missal.

"On behalf of the Bishops of England and Wales I welcome the Holy Father's call for unity within the Church and especially towards those who are very attached to celebrating the Mass according to the Missal of 1962," said Cardinal Murphy-O'Connor.
