They Won’t Let Bishop Schneider Offer the Latin Mass in St. Peter’s

In brief

Bishop Athanasius Schneider will celebrate the Traditional Latin Mass at St. Mary Major instead of St. Peter's Basilica for this year's Summorum Pontificum Pilgrimage.

According to reporter Angeline Tan for The Remnant, Rome denied the bishop permission to use the Altar of the Chair in St. Peter's Basilica. This differs from the 2025 event, where Cardinal Burke was permitted to celebrate the Latin Mass at St. Peter's.
