It isn't often that an event of international significance has direct implications for Roswell, but one such event took place when Pope Benedict XVI published the document ?Summorum Pontificum? stating that Catholics can in good conscience attend Masses performed according to the traditional Latin rite. The Catholic chapel of St. Michael next to Roswell High School is a spot in Roswell where the Latin Mass is said daily. The folks at St. Michael's have been saying for years that the Latin Mass has always remained a valid and legitimate form of worship for Catholics. After nearly four decades of debate, Pope Benedict has unequivocally confirmed that position. The Latin Mass is the clear and perfect expression of the authentic Catholic Faith, and it has produced saints for 2000 years. Francis of Assisi, Patrick of Ireland, Joan of Arc, Thomas Aquinas, Peter Chanel, Catherine of Siena, Mother Ann Seton ? all these saints are in heaven now, and the Latin Mass is the Mass that they knew and loved.
