Letter of the Launching of the First Campaign of IOC Movement.
"To Promote Traditional Latin Mass in Sabah and Sarawak (Borneo)."
Instaurare Omnia in Christo(IOC) Movement
26th June, 2013.
Peace and Mercy,
Brothers and sisters.
Today is 26th of June 2013 is a day for the Launching of the First
Campaign initiated by Instaurare Omnia in Christo(IOC) Movement. IOC
therefore, call forth every Catholics in this region; Sabah and Sarawak,
in the Island called Borneo, to join us IOC in our First Campaign:
"To Promote Traditional Latin Mass in Sabah and Sarawak (Borneo)."
We, the IOC, ought to love and really want to have Traditional Latin
Mass or Tridentine Mass in each parishes and in each local Dioceses in
this Borneo Island(Narrow: Sabah and Sarawak).
On top of that,
Traditional Latin Mass or Tridentine Mass should be widely acceptable
and available in each parishes and local Dioceses when the faithful is
asking for this Traditional Latin Mass according to Motu Proprio
"Summorum Pontificum":
[ Celebrations of Mass as mentioned
above in art. 2 may - observing all the norms of law - also be attended
by faithful who, of their own free will, ask to be admitted.
In
parishes, where there is a stable group of faithful who adhere to the
earlier liturgical tradition, the pastor should willingly accept their
requests to celebrate the Mass according to the rite of the Roman Missal
published in 1962, and ensure that the welfare of these faithful
harmonises with the ordinary pastoral care of the parish, under the
guidance of the bishop in accordance with canon 392, avoiding discord
and favouring the unity of the whole Church.]
~Summorum Pontificum Art. 4. and Art. 5. § 1
To those Catholics that still do not know anything about Traditional
Latin Mass or Tridentine Mass, and also for those who is willing to know
more about Traditional Latin Mass or Tridentine should be able to
understand that:
[The Roman Missal promulgated by Paul VI is
the ordinary expression of the 'Lex orandi' (Law of prayer) of the
Catholic Church of the Latin rite. Nonetheless, the Roman Missal
promulgated by St. Pius V and reissued by Bl. John XXIII is to be
considered as an extraordinary expression of that same 'Lex orandi,' and
must be given due honour for its venerable and ancient usage. These two
expressions of the Church's Lex orandi will in no any way lead to a
division in the Church's 'Lex credendi' (Law of belief). They are, in
fact two usages of the one Roman rite
....
In Masses
celebrated without the people, each Catholic priest of the Latin rite,
whether secular or regular, may use the Roman Missal published by Bl.
Pope John XXIII in 1962, or the Roman Missal promulgated by Pope Paul VI
in 1970, and may do so on any day with the exception of the Easter
Triduum. For such celebrations, with either one Missal or the other, the
priest has no need for permission from the Apostolic See or from his
Ordinary.]
~Summorum Pontificum Art.1 and Art 2
We could
trace the uses of Traditional Latin Mass as far as 1570 Edition of Roman
Missal where its use is made obligatory throughout the Latin Rite of
the Catholic Church in the Highest Decree of Papal Bull "Quo Primum",
issued by Pope St. Pius V.In the Papal Bull, Pope Pius V declared:
[Furthermore, by these presents [this law], in virtue of Our Apostolic
authority, We grant and concede in perpetuity that, for the chanting or
reading of the Mass in any church whatsoever, this Missal is hereafter
to be followed absolutely, without any scruple of conscience or fear of
incurring any penalty, judgment, or censure, and may freely and lawfully
be used. Nor are superiors, administrators, canons, chaplains, and
other secular priests, or religious, of whatever title designated,
obliged to celebrate the Mass otherwise than as enjoined by Us. We
likewise declare and ordain that no one whosoever is forced or coerced
to alter this Missal, and that this present document cannot be revoked
or modified, but remain always valid and retain its full force
notwithstanding the previous constitutions and decrees of the Holy See,
as well as any general or special constitutions or edicts of provincial
or synodal councils, and notwithstanding the practice and custom of the
aforesaid churches, established by long and immemorial prescription -
except, however, if more than two hundred years' standing.]
~Quo Primum P.7
Therefore,
As the Supervisor of IOC Movement; on behalf of all IOC members and
every Catholics out there that will love and want to have Traditional
Latin Mass in their local Diocese and local parish, I would like to
launch this First Campaign: "To Promote Traditional Latin Mass in Sabah
and Sarawak (Borneo)" today on 26th of June 2013, and will take effect
starting 29th of June 2013; right on the celebration of the Solemn Feast
of St.Peter and St.Paul.
