The Vatican’s liturgy department has officially recognized adaptations to the Mass for Indigenous communities in a southern Mexican diocese, but requested more information before approving their broader use.
Cardinal Arthur Roche said in a Nov. 8 letter that the Dicastery for Divine Worship had granted a formal recognitio to “adaptations presented by the Diocese of San Cristóbal de Las Casas in the Ordinary of the Mass for some Indigenous peoples of Mexico.”
