Although named a bishop by Pope Francis, the new bishop celebrates Holy Mass ad orientem, emboldened by Pope Leo’s recent example!
Read the Pillar interview here.
And miracles of miracles, he recently taught at my seminary in Baltimore. There are some 1970’s Sulpicians turning in their grave, God willing, ad orientem!

O.K., I'm going to come out and say it: "Ad Orientem" is rapidly becoming a visual pacifier. It's only purpose is to pacify the yokels in the pews while we continue to get lousy bishop appointments and persecute Traditional Catholics and let perverts ruin the dicasteries. So enjoy your eye candy, because that's all you're gonna get.
Kind of parroting Jerome Merwick, in the Western Church, there are a few bright lights in an otherwise underwhelming morass of episcopal mediocrity. The earth will not shift because a bishop may or may not have seen coverage of Leo celebrating ad orientem in a sanctuary that is obviously too small to accommodate otherwise. Perhaps they should all be built that way to force positive change?
