The Bishop of Oslo has promised to accompany those who wish the attend the Latin Mass, in the wake of the SSPX consecrations.
As your shepherd, I therefore give you an invitation and some words about the future. The invitation is simple: Hold fast to unity with Our Holy Father, the Bishop of Rome, and with me as Bishop of Oslo.
So the future: You want to be able to take part in the liturgical celebration according to the 1962 Missal. Many of you also look for a spiritual expression and a spirituality characterized by the pre-conciliar liturgy. I understand this. Masses according to the 1962 Missal are celebrated every Sunday in St. Joseph's Church in Oslo . This will continue. If there is a need for it and it will be for the good of the Church and souls, I will also expand this type of Mass celebration in our local church.
Finally: Pray for unity in the Church. Pray for the Pope. And pray that those who have now placed themselves outside the ecclesial community will turn around and return.
It will be interesting to see if others follow suit.
