In April and early May, making use of the Papal interregnum, the bishops of France negotiated with Cardinal Roche, Prefect of Divine Worship, in order to obscure the pilgrimage from Paris to Chartres.
PaixLiturgique.fr (May 19) reports about a letter dated May 6 by Archbishop Vincent Jordy of Tours and Archbishop Dominique Lebrun of Rouen to all the bishops of France.
The text informs of Cardinal Roche's responses on April 8 regarding the liturgy during the Chartres pilgrimage.
The measures are:
- In rigid application of Traditionis Custodes (July 16, 2021) priests ordained before that document might celebrate the traditional Mass, but would need to ask permission from the bishops of each diocese crossed along the way (Évry, Versailles, Chartres).
- For priests ordained after July 2021, the bishop would have to request permission from the Dicastery for Divine Worship.
- All priests should be able to celebrate the New Mass during the pilgrimage.
- Priests should use the new ritual when listening to confessions.
