Making St. Elizabeth of Hungary a shrine instead of a parish allows the TLM to continue according to the dictates of Traditionis Custodes.

CLEVELAND (LifeSiteNews) — The bishop of Cleveland, Ohio is establishing a diocesan shrine dedicated to offering the Traditional Latin Mass (TLM), meeting the requirements of Traditionis Custodes for the preservation of the TLM in a diocese.

Bishop Edward Malesic issued a decree on July 28 rendering St. Elizabeth of Hungary Catholic Church in Cleveland a diocesan shrine set aside for the Latin Mass and sacraments. Malesic stated that the church is to be used for worship according to the “1962 Missale Romanum and the other liturgical texts in use at that time.”

The decree also ordains that St. Elizabeth of Hungary, the site of the oldest Hungarian Christian community in the U.S., is to promote the “Christian heritage of the Hungarian people.”

Moreover, Malesic revealed in an announcement of the church’s merger with nearby St. Emeric parish that “in the near future,” a religious order will oversee St. Elizabeth’s, but he has not specified which religious order.
