Pro Tridentina (Malta)

For the promotion and dissemination of the Extraordinary Form of the Mass in the Archdiocese of Malta and the Diocese of Gozo, as endorsed by the motu proprio Summorum Pontificum promulgated by Pope Benedict XVI (2007) and in the Instruction Universae Ecclesiae (2011). We adhere to the traditional Catholic motto: We are what you once were. We believe what you once believed. We worship as you once worshipped. If you were right then, we are right now. If we are wrong now, you were wrong then.

The Church of the Poor?

This month a photo was circulated on Facebook, in which a large amount of older people are seen eating and drinking in the Church.

Mġarr Parish Priest Monsignor Kalcidon Vassallo, defends this abuse by saying that each year a Mass for the sick and the elderly takes place and the Sacrament of Anointing of the Sick is also administered.

After Mass, this abomination takes place. Quoting Pope Francis, the parish priest said:

"Our Church of the poor and the priests have the smell of the sheep."

Church of the Poor? Nope, alas, Poor Church is more emblematic in this case.

An opportunity not to be missed!

Above you will find a poster with the calendar of Tridentine Masses to be held next week around Malta.

This is an occasion not to be missed and it could serve as a showcase to many Maltese yet to be acquainted with this venerable Rite.

Pro Tridentina (Malta) would like to congratulate the main organisers of the event, i.e. Rev. Marc Andrè Camilleri and Canon Nicholas Doublet.
