Rorate Caeli

Some developments (Updated)

1) Cardinal Castrillon Hoyos will no longer be the celebrant in the much-awaited Pontifical Mass in the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception on April 24, 2010 in Washington DC. According to the website dedicated to this Mass, "The Paulus Institute has agreed to seek another celebrant for the Pontifical Solemn High Mass taking place on April 24th. This action will help maintain the solemnity, reverence and beauty of the Mass".

UPDATE: It has just been announced that Bishop Edward Slattery of Tulsa will be the celebrant of the Mass. William Cardinal Baum will also be in attendance.

2) Eric Giunta has published an essay on the possible reasons behind Archbishop Favalora's early resignation from the Archdiocese of Miami, Florida: Orthodoxy vindicated. Mr. Giunta also writes in this article about the Archbishop-elect, Thomas Wenski, and his accomplishments in Orlando in favor of orthodoxy and the Traditional Latin Mass.

Last year, Rorate featured one of Mr. Giunta's essays on the situation in Miami: The case against Archbishop Favalora.
