As stated on the French Priory’s Web-Site: “the Order of the Knights of Our Lady welcomes in its bosom people of differing liturgical sensibilities who have vowed to act together in the greatest spirit of brotherhood for the defence of the Church and the Faith. Completely in step with the spirit the Holy Father Benedict the XVIth is seeking to promote within the Church today, the Order continues the action it began 40 years ago, which consists in proposing to those that wish it a liturgy compatible both with the new Ordo Missae and with the millennial Tradition of the Church.”
We are Latinists. The Order’s masses (in Chapter) are said in Latin, in the Ordinary Form; our Hours (in Chapter) said in Latin, according to our own Breviary (which is pre-conciliar); and our dubbings according to the Benedictio novi militis rite from the pre-conciliar Pontificale Romanum.
All members of the Order must, however, be fully loyal to the Pope and to the Magisteriumof the Church. One also needs to be comfortable in the Ordinary Form (in Latin) to participate in chapters. As stated in Chapter III § 8 of the Rule: “The knight thinks with the Church” (as in St-Augustine’s expression “Sentire cum Ecclesia”).
