This is one of those affairs that is made worse...

By the fact that we don't necessarily know all the facts, that I doubt that all three bishops were involved in the denial of the decedent's will, that perhaps troubles between the diocese and the ICKSP have been ongoing et cetera.  I hope that the lady has already had many prayers offered in suffrage for the repose of her soul.  We already knew that a large number of members of the episcopate in France and elsewhere are derelict in their duty to provide for those faithful who are attached to the usus antiquior; that they are prepared to ignore testamentary dispositions is a further black mark against their names.  One can only hope that the executor had the spine to refuse payment to the cathedral clergy of any stipend that was associated with the Mass request, and turned elsewhere.
