community organizers are questioning the Archdiocese of Chicago’s decision to ban public masses at Shrine of Christ the King Catholic Church and worry officials may be planning to shutter the historic landmark building.
Jennifer Blackman, a member of the Coalition to Save the Shrine – a nonprofit organization aiming to restore the church – said many questions have gone unanswered and the Archdiocese of Chicago has not provided any statements.Blackman said the Archdiocese has banned Latin Mass citywide, marginalizing the Institute of Christ the King Church, which solely celebrates Latin Mass.
"I believe the Latin Mass is the method that they’re trying to get access to the building," Blackman said. "By banning all Latin Masses for any church in the city, it’s going to be affected – their funding, everything – but then, what happens to the building itself?"Fire damage was repaired, and additional safety features were added in recent years, with help from more than $3 million raised by the church’s congregation and Save the Shrine, the organization said.
