Pope Francis asserted that the Latin Mass was causing division within the [[Roman Catholic Church]], in his letter accompanying ''Traditionis Custodes'' that suppressed its availability. But that suppression "has been denounced by a few clergy and some scholars as a repudiation of the perennial practice of the Catholic Church and even of solemn Church teaching," and a subsequent report in July 2025 revealed that most bishops have been supporting wide availability of the Latin Mass.<ref>https://www.lifesitenews.com/news/breaking-vatican-report-reveals-most-bishops-did-not-want-pope-francis-latin-mass-crackdown/?utm_source=popular</ref>.

The Mass of St. Pius V has its origins in the most remote apostolic traditions and nourished the souls of the greatest saints in the history of the Church. This rite comes visibly from the heart of our Holy Mother the Church and is the fruit of a long tradition. It saintly expresses the Catholic doctrine of the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass and was canonized by St. Pius V definitively. He established it as the official way of saying the Holy Mass, valid for all priests of the Roman rite at all times.
