"As pastors we must not lend ourselves to sterile polemics, capable only of creating division, in which the ritual itself is often exploited by ideological viewpoints," Archbishop Arthur Roche, head of the department, wrote in an introductory letter to the responses to 11 questions. Joseph Shaw, chairman of the Latin Mass Society in Britain said in a tweet that the document "will have serious negative consequences" and drive Catholics who want to remain in unity with their bishop to join extremist groups.
