Did Pope Leo get the All Highest K’s permission to celebrate Mass ad orientem?

Shame they all aren't like that, instant elevation.

And for those who think the tabernacle should be secluded to "not take away from this, or that", if the Roman Church stopped using it like a bank with deposits and withdrawals, it could just be as the holy of holies. Our tabernacles sit in the center of the holy table, it doesn't take away from anything, and vertical theology is preserved without pseudo concerns.
