Sr Bede to Correspondent: Downham Market & Fr Baker; validity of New Rite
Barker, Marion Tess OSB
Latin Rite
Authority
Paul VI (1897-1978)
Baker, Oswald Charles RevĀ (1915-2004)
The root of the trouble at Downham Market is not the use of Latin but the disobedience of Fr Baker. Catholics not properly prepared for the changes, hence those being upset. Arbitrary experimentation by some priests have not helped - hence a longing for the old familiar Mass. The new rite has been established as valid and free form doctrinal error.
