I was the priest who said you were lying and I continue to say so. It is a shame that you are not man enough to admit the lies you wrote. And you should know that people around the World sent me your claims, think they were true: 1. One of them was that the Pilgrimage’s website had recently announced a Mass in St. Peter’s, which is completely false. I used the information that was on the website to prepare the announcement of the programme a week ago, and what was announced was a Mass in the Basilica of Saint Mary Major. The organisers were doing everything possible to gain entry to the Basilica, which is why that information about it had not yet been removed. But there was no reference whatsoever to a Mass in St. Peter’s. 2. Another lie was your claim that other dates had been offered to the organisers for holding the Mass in St. Peter’s; that is pure fantasy. Even if they had been, one cannot change a pilgrimage that has taken place on the same date for fifteen years only two months before it occurs. Spaces are rented from one year to the next, and there are hundreds of pilgrims coming from far away with their trips already paid for, etc. It takes only common sense to understand this. 3. Another lie was your claim that the reason given for refusing the Mass was that an activity related to the Franciscan year had already been scheduled for the Altar of the Chair. When the Mass was requested, no such activity had been scheduled, nor was this used in the Secretariat of State’s response as a reason for not accepting the Mass. Even if such an activity had existed, the two schedules would have been perfectly compatible, especially since the time of the procession could have been adjusted so as to enter at an hour when the celebration of Mass would not conflict with the Franciscan celebration. 4. Another was your claim that the organisers wanted to take a photograph in front of the “wooden wall” in order to make it appear that it had been erected as an obstacle, when everyone knows it is part of the Nativity scene installation. In reality, it was the Italian police themselves who led the procession to that place so that they could pray there. This, among other things. I have no idea what motivated you to launch such a ferocious attack, given that you are completely uninformed about what took place. You are not the owner of the Traditional Mass in Rome, nor are you the owner of Rome. These faithful are Roman Catholics, and they have the right to come here on pilgrimage and to be given the minimum conditions needed to pray in St. Peter’s Basilica. At the very least, they should be given what was given to the LGBT group.
