Latin Mass to return to England and Wales

The traditional Latin Mass – effectively banned by Rome for 40 years – is to be reintroduced into every Roman Catholic parish in England and Wales, the senior Vatican cardinal in charge of Latin liturgy said at a press conference in London today.

In addition, all seminaries will be required to teach trainee priests how to say the old Mass so that they can celebrate it in all parishes.

Catholic congregations throughout the world will receive special instruction on how to appreciate the old services, formerly known as the Tridentine Rite.

Yesterday’s announcement by the senior Vatican cardinal in charge of Latin liturgy, Cardinal Dario Castrillon Hoyos, speaking on behalf of Pope Benedict XVI, will horrify Catholic liberals, including many bishops of England and Wales....

Priest Trainee=seminarian...

effectively banned by Rome for 40 years - Uhh, no it wasn't...

Horrify Catholic Liberals=Horrify dissenters...

Pope Benedict will reintroduce the old rite – which will be known as the “Gregorian Rite”...
The Gregorian Rite? Granted, this article comes from The Telegraph, but is this possible? Do reporters bother to verify their "facts" anymore?
