One of the most controversial aspects of Pope Francis’s legacy as the leader of the Catholic Church is his decision to restrict an old form of Catholic Liturji known as a traditional Latin mass.
Francis explained that he decided to ban the Latin month as he was worried that its use was leading to the partition in the church. Francis said he felt that “used in an ideological manner” in response to modernity including modern Vatican II month.
Mass – from the Latin word “Missa”, meaning “sacrifice” – which includes the word “litigation” and “echoist’s Liturji”, of which the latter is considered the most sacred and highest form of worship by the Catholics.

These differences include the entirety of the mass of the Latin and the priest, to face “east”).

During his 12 -year ponted, Francis took several action to limit the use of Latin mass worldwide. As a result, the Latin month was re -established in a very limited number of churches, along with it often presented only by priests related to specific orders.
