New - August 5, 2021: Statement of Archbishop Salvatore J. Cordileone Regarding the Celebration of the Traditional Latin Mass in St. Mary’s Cathedral and the Archdiocese of San Francisco
In response to a request from a group of the faithful in the Archdiocese of San Francisco in June, I agreed to allow a monthly first Wednesday celebration of the Traditional Latin Mass in the Cathedral of St. Mary of the Assumption. The request having been received and granted before the issuance of Pope Francis’ motu proprio, Traditionis custodes, the first of the monthly Masses was celebrated on July 7, the 14th anniversary of Pope Benedict XVI’s motu proprio, Summorum Pontificum.
Since Pope Francis issued Traditionis custodes, I have been grieved by certain disrespectful responses; some have even included slanderous attacks on the Pontiff. I support Pope Francis, and his concern that those who are drawn to more traditional forms of Catholic worship also affirm the validity of the Novus Ordo form of the Mass and, indeed, of the Second Vatican Council itself. As the visible head of the Church, the Pope has a global vision of Church life and can perceive things that we cannot from our more local perspective.
The complete letter can be found in English and Spanish here: Letters and statement.
New - Council, Controversy, Conversion, and Communion, A Six-Week Course on the Second Vatican Council

The Second Vatican Council remains controversial in some Catholic circles. Many people see it as involving a radical break from the Catholic past, for good or bad. Others, such as the popes since the Council, see it as a renewal and reform of the one-and-the same Catholic Church. The Online Pastoral School of the Archdiocese of San Francisco is pleased to invite Mark Brumley, a former staff apologist at Catholic Answers, to offer an online course on this subject. This is a mini-course covering the main teachings of the Second Vatican Council (1962-1965). It also examines how the Council’s teaching has been received, misperceived, and resisted, as well as how it has shaped Catholic life and mission in the last half-century. We ask for a donation, but no one will be turned down for inability to pay. Register at www.sfarch.org/vaticanii
