You can't negotiate with compromisers without compromising yourself:
In April and early May, making use of the Papal interregnum, the bishops of France negotiated with Cardinal Roche, Prefect of Divine Worship, in order to obscure the pilgrimage from Paris to Chartres.
PaixLiturgique.fr (May 19) reports about a letter dated May 6 by Archbishop Vincent Jordy of Tours and Archbishop Dominique Lebrun of Rouen to all the bishops of France.
The text informs of Cardinal Roche's responses on April 8 regarding the liturgy during the Chartres pilgrimage.
The measures are:
- In rigid application of Traditionis Custodes (July 16, 2021) priests ordained before that document might celebrate the traditional Mass, but would need to ask permission from the bishops of each diocese crossed along the way (Évry, Versailles, Chartres).
- For priests ordained after July 2021, the bishop would have to request permission from the Dicastery for Divine Worship.
- All priests should be able to celebrate the New Mass during the pilgrimage.
- Priests should use the new ritual when listening to confessions.

"So let us be confident, let us not be unprepared, let us not be outflanked, let us be wise, vigilant, fighting against those who are trying to tear the faith out of our souls and morality out of our hearts, so that we may remain Catholics, remain united to the Blessed Virgin Mary, remain united to the Roman Catholic Church, remain faithful children of the Church."- Abp. Lefebvre
