Cardinal Raymond Burke, in his July 22, 2021, statement on the feast of St. Mary Magdalene, asked if the pope could "juridically abrogate" the Traditional Latin Mass. The July 16 motu proprio "Traditionis custodes", he said, "places restrictions" on the Traditional Mass "which signal its ultimate elimination." In this 19-point statement Cardinal Raymond Leo Burke called the restrictions on the Traditional Latin Mass "severe and revolutionary," and questioned the pope's authority to revoke use of the rite.
