I have no reason not to believe the veracity of this artificial intelligence’s summary. Do you?
Here it is:
In a recent interview shared by
Matt Fradd, Bishop Athanasius Schneider recounted a conversation with Pope Leo XIV regarding the Traditional Latin Mass.According to Bishop Schneider, the Pope shared that numerous young people have approached him to testify that their conversion to the Catholic faith occurred through the Latin Mass.
Key Details from the Interview
- The Pope's Observation: Pope Leo XIV reportedly acknowledged that the ancient liturgy is a significant driving force for modern conversions among the youth.
- Proposed Resolution: During their meeting, Bishop Schneider proposed that the Pope issue an Apostolic Constitution to "free" the Latin Mass and establish "pacific co-existence" between the traditional and modern forms of the Roman Rite.
- Context of Restrictions: This dialogue occurs as many traditionalists hope for a reversal of restrictions placed on the Latin Mass by the previous papacy.
Pope Leo XIV, the first American-born Pope (elected May 8, 2025), has shown some early signs of openness to traditionalists, such as permitting a Latin Mass celebrated by Cardinal Raymond Burke in St. Peter's Basilica.

I don't doubt that Leo has heard this and has "seen" it. That said, I believe he is struggling both internally and with the likes of Cupich, Tobin, McElroy, Marx and others who are rabid anti-tradition. At some point, hopefully sooner than later, Leo is going to have to take a stand of consequence, one way or the other on this issue. It will require a lot of courage on his part. Pray for our Holy Father!
Cupich, Tobin, McElroy are all old...this generation will soon be gone...Pope Leo hopefully sees this and is looking forward to the future of the church. The FSSP church in Phoenix where I live is the fastest growing parish in the diocese. They started out as a small mission. The diocese then gave them a bigger parish/campus. Now they are building a big new church. It is almost entirely young families. Our good bishop (who would not be labeled as traditional by any means) appears to see this and lets the traditional parishes and the not so traditional parishes live in harmony. Kudos to him.
Your bishop’s way is the way and how it was everywhere until TC! God willing we’ll get back to before TC!
