Cardinal Eijk Sends Warning to Liturgical Vandals in Holland

Utrecht (Katolische Nachrichchten) Cardinal Wim Eijk, thhe Archbishop of Utrecht wrote to all priests, deacons and laymen in pastoral ministry in his Archdiocese which addressed the observance of liturgical norms. The occasion involved a pastoral assistant who had grossly violated the liturgical norms in the Archdiocese of Utrecht a few weeks ago which he committed during Holy Mass in the homily and in prayers in the Canon [Eucharistic Prayer]. The pastoral assistant was subsequently punished by the Archbishop and removed from Missio Canonica [faculties to act as a priest]. Meanwhile, the Cardinal has put him back in office, following his public apology for liturgical abuses and explained his understanding of the importance of keeping the liturgical norms in the future.

Very good post, Otremer6

And the article also says:

He( Cardinal ) urges that Catholics have a right to object to liturgical abuses and make them known without any acrimony on the part of Diocesan officials.

The letter continues to urge Catholic laity to report liturgical abuses as they occur also to the Roman authorities.

Congregation for the Doctrine of Faith
Piazza del S. Uffcio, 11
I-00193 Roma

Congregation for Divine Worship and the Sakramtenordnung
Piazza Pio XII, 10
I-00193 Roma .

I (as have others) already reported to our bishop that the NO Mass itself is a liturgical abuse. He has since provided a monthly TLM but has not as yet excommunicated any heretical priests. I suppose he knows if he waits long enough they'll leave of their own accord.

If every liturgical abuse that occurred in our diocese was complained about, it would take til judgement day to deal with them all. Where there's no discipline, there's no order.

You have to start somewhere.
