Société Des Missionnaires De La Miséricorde Divine
The Society of the Missionaries of the Divine Mercy (french: ''Société des Missionnaires de la Miséricorde Divine'') is a Roman Catholic French Religious Order dedicated to Eucharistic adoration and evangelising among Muslims. The order was founded in 2005 in the Roman Catholic Diocese of Fréjus-Toulon, by Fabrice Loiseau, priest of the Fraternity of Saint Peter. The order's charism consists in spreading the devotion of the Divine Mercy (revealed by Christ to Saint Faustina Kowalska), celebrating the Eucharist in the Extraordinary Form of the Roman Rite (in the spirit of Benedict XVI's ''Summorum Pontificum'') and taking active part in the New Evangelisation, specially among muslims. In 2024 it was suspended from celebrating new ordinations. This was because the order asked the ordinations to be in the Tridentine Mass, and that their newly ordained priest be granted the faculties to celebrate this rite, which the order uses almost exclusively. However, after a "confident ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Extraordinary Form Of The Roman Rite
In the Catholic Church, preconciliar Latin liturgical rites ("preconciliar": before the Second Vatican Council, which began in 1962) coexist with postconciliar rites. In the years following the Second Vatican Council, Pope Paul VI initiated significant changes. Some of Paul VI's contemporaries, who considered the changes to be too drastic, obtained from him limited permission for the continued use of the previous Roman Missal. In the years since, the Holy See has granted varying degrees of permission to celebrate the Roman Rite and other Latin rites in the same manner as before the council. The use of preconciliar rites is associated with traditionalist Catholicism. In the decades immediately after the Second Vatican Council, each of the various grants of permission to use the preconciliar Roman Rite Mass was in the form of an indult (i.e. a concession). The term universal indult was used to describe a hypothetical broadening of these concessionary permissions, but in his 2007 ...
