More Oratory Hubris

A tip-of-the-hat goes to JW Trainer for pointing-out this gem to AveWatch.

Tom Monaghan's club for rich Catholic businessmen, Legatus, is having a "Winter Summit" at the Ritz-Carlton in Naples. The advertised "Highlights" include:

"Latin Mass, at the new Ave Maria Oratory"

The date stamped on the flier announcing the Summit is "9/27/07".

So, once again, Tom Monaghan pushes the hand of the Bishop of Venice to approve AMU's oratory by announcing a Mass in a yet unapproved structure. This Mass was announced as a "Highlight" to people paying $1,500 each to attend the conference.

Since Pat Boone is the headlining entertainment for the Summit, let's see if Mr. Monaghan invites him to sing at Mass.
