FRENCH SEMINARY TO USE BOTH FORMS OF THE ROMAN RITE

From Paix Liturgique

Cardinal Barbarin will open next year in Lyon a "bi-ritual" seminary, i.e. a seminary dedicated to both forms of the Roman Rite, which will be both taught and celebrated there. This is the first diocese in France after that of Toulon which offers this possibility to its seminarians. Cardinal Barbarin's project will even go further than that of Toulon: not only will the seminarians have the opportunity to be formed according to the extraordinary form, Mass according to the usus antiquior will be celebrated every day in the seminary, open to all seminarians, including those of the ordinary form.
