At the altar of the Chair of the Vatican Basilica
Mass in the extraordinary form of the Roman Rite
On Sunday morning, 15 May, concluding the third conference on the motu proprio Summorum Pontificum, Mass in the extraordinary form of the Roman Rite was celebrated in the Vatican basilica. At the altar of the Chair it was celebrated by Cardinal Walter Brandmüller, in the presence of three Cardinals - William Joseph Levada, president of the Pontifical Commission Ecclesia Dei, Franc Rodé and Domenico Bartolucci, who directed the final chants - and some bishops and prelates of the Roman Curia.
