Unbelievable. For decades the mass was said in Latin and now the current pope is making it so that the mass cannot be said in Latin. This is the worst pope and though he's claiming that he's doing this so that the church isn't so divided, I see that he is dividing the church even further.
Pope Francis reverses Benedict, reimposes restrictions on Latin Mass
Pope Francis cracked down Friday on the spread of the old Latin Mass, reversing one of Pope Benedict XVI’s signature decisions in a major challenge to traditionalist Catholics who immediately decried it as an attack on them and the ancient liturgy.
Francis reimposed restrictions on celebrating the Latin Mass that Benedict relaxed in 2007, and went further to limit its use. The pontiff said he was taking action because Benedict’s reform had become a source of division in the church and been exploited by Catholics opposed to the Second Vatican Council, the 1960s meetings that modernized the church and its liturgy.
Critics said they had never before witnessed a pope so thoroughly reversing his predecessor. That the reversal concerned something so fundamental as the liturgy, while Benedict is still alive and living in the Vatican as a retired pope, only amplified the extraordinary nature of Francis' move, which will surely result in more right-wing hostility directed at him.....

I think this pope has been the most liberal and socialist pope in my lifetime.
