"During the Mass in Shrewsbury Cathedral, Bishop Davies reminded the congregation of the teaching of Emeritus Pope Benedict XVI that there can be no contradiction between the two forms of the Roman Rite. "For at the heart of both forms of the Roman Rite there is the same Jesus Christ, before whom we fall to our knees in wonder and recognition of His Sacrifice perpetuated in the Mass and His Real Presence in the Blessed Sacrament of the Altar," said Bishop Davies in his homily.
"We do so today in the usage of the Roman Rite as it was celebrated in this Cathedral for more than a century."
Pope Benedict, continued Bishop Davies, encouraged us to see how the "two forms of the Roman Rite can be mutually enriching" for all of the faithful."
