Statements from His Holiness Pope Benedict XVI on Una Voce and the Traditional Mass
"The International Una Voce Federation has played
an important
role in supporting the use of the 1962 edition of the Roman Missal
in obedience to the directives of the Holy See. For this valuable
service I express my gratitude to the members of the Federation
and extend my blessing." -Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger, Prefect
of
the Congregation of the Doctrine of the Faith, speaking to the
Una Voce Federation, 25 July 1996
"I am of the opinion that the old rite should be granted
much more generously to all those who desire it. It is impossible
to see what could be dangerous or unacceptable about that. A
community is calling its very being into question when it declares
that what was its holiest and highest possession is strictly
forbidden and when it makes the longing for it seem downright
indecent"
-Pope Benedict XVI
