The Chrism Mass as a Pretext for Hunting Rebellious Priests
The Chrism Mass is used to evaluate communion among traditional priests. Rome does not universally require concelebration, but bishops use it to detect resistance. Cases like Dijon and Valence show conflicts over refusal. The refusal is interpreted as rejection of post-conciliar magisterium, leading to withdrawal of permissions. Tension persists between liturgical identity and episcopal pressure.
