The scholarly and informative website Canticum Salomonis has a striking post which reproduces a statement issued on December 21st from the traditional rite monastery of the Benedictines of the Immaculate at Taggia, in north-west Italy. The house was founded from Le Barroux and clearly enjoys the favour of its diocesan Bishop. The statement is a clear and cogent response to Traditionis Custodes and to the recent CDW clarifications.
The tone is measured but clear, respectful yet unyielding. This is a community that will not abandon its foundation principles but will remain faithful to them. Here is a fine example of the type of response that needs to be made.
I understand from a friend that the Society of St Vincent Ferrer, the traditionalist French Fominicans have issued a similar statement.
The text of the Taggia statement and the comments from the Prior in an interview, can be read at Canticum Salomonis:Statement from the Benedictines of the Immaculate
