American Press Story
Posted by Andrew on Jul 14th, 2007
Okay the American Press did a story on the Tridentine Latin Mass on Saturday in the Our Faith page. The reporter contacted Fr. Tolentino, and interviewed several of our members, as well as His Excellency, Bishop Provost. Apparently the reporter got all of her information from this very website, which is interesting because I’m not even sure if it has been of any use and help to the members. I’m interviewed as well. Only subscribers have access to the paper online.

Congrats. I am excited about your site. UNfort in the Diocese of Shreveport we are without a Bishop so I suspect progress will be slow here.
I hope at some point that there can be a LOuisiana organization to promote the MP. I have some ideas and I supect others do too.

Thanks. You’ll need to find a priest who is willing to say the Latin Mass. And hopefully you’ll get a bishop soon. We were without one for over two years, which is so unjust. Lake Charles was one of the longest vacant sees in US Catholic history.
Anyways I sent you an email and I could help with your idea. I think it has a lot of potential.

JH, I am not speaking as an expert, but my understanding of SP is that after 9/14 any competent parish priest has permission from the Holy see to make the Forma Extraordinaria available to a stable group of parishioners. I don’t think the lack of a bishop in Shreveport is any reason to slow you down, so long as the other conditions are met.
