Pope Francis’ decision in July to re-impose restrictions on the celebration of the older form of the Latin Mass appears not to have affected his standing among U.S. Catholics, according to a report released Oct. 7 by the Pew Research Center. About 83% of Catholics in the country have a favourable view of Francis, based on responses from 1,374 Catholics to a Pew online survey in September. Some 65% of the respondents said they had heard “nothing at all” about Francis’ decision, which reversed a 2007 move by retired Pope Benedict XVI to allow priests to celebrate the form of the Mass used before the 1962-65 Second Vatican Council.
