Traditional Pentecost Pilgrimage Comes in Middle of Heated TLM Discussion in French Church
- The 2025 Pentecost pilgrimage from Paris to Chartres attracts a record 19,000 mostly young participants from June 7–9 in France.
- The pilgrimage follows ongoing tensions since the 2021 motu proprio Traditiones Custodes, which restricts the Traditional Latin Mass under bishop and Vatican oversight.
- Organizers maintain the Tridentine Mass during the three-day walk, while bishops require some celebration of the current rite and penance according to reformed rituals.
- Philippe Darantière, president of the organizing association, noted the rapid registration and ongoing dialogue with bishops, while Bishop Christory authorized confessions in the old rite locally.
- This pilgrimage’s popular turnout underscores youth engagement with traditional liturgy amid Church debates, but the final decisions regarding rites remain with Rome.
