CWN Editor's Note: Cardinal Juan Sandoval IƱiguez, the retired Archbishop of Guadalajara, has written to Pope Francis, urging him not to suppress the celebration of the Tridentine liturgy.

“It cannot be wrong what the the Church has celebrated for four centuries, the Mass of Saint Pius V in Latin, with a rich and devout liturgy that naturally invites one to penetrate into the Mystery of God,” the cardinal wrote. He continued:

Pope Francis, do not allow this to happen. You are also the guardian of the historical, cultural, and liturgical richness of the Church of Christ.
