The
Association to the Memory of Cardinal
Dante is intended as a network of Swedish friends of the Institute of Christ the King.
We also wish to honour the memory of the great Cardinal and contribute
to a revival of the classical Roman liturgy in Sweden.
In
the spirit of the motu proprio "Summorum pontificum"
from 2007, and under the protection of Saint Francis of Sales, Saint
Benedict, Saint Thomas of Aquinas and Saint Bridget of Sweden, we
endeavor to help the Institute establish itself in
the Diocese of Stockholm.
Especially
dear to us are the care and preservation of the traditional
Latin liturgy and the rich heritage of Christian Europe.
The
Institute of Christ the King presently visits Sweden two Sundays every month.
Its priests offer holy Mass in Stockholm and Lund. They also
bless weddings, administer holy Baptism and assist the Diocese in the
training of those priests who show an interest in the classical or Gregorian form of
the Roman rite.
In
2005, Msgr Schmitz, Vicar
General of the Institute, visited Sweden and was received by His Grace
Anders Arborelius, Bishop of Stockholm. A second meeting accurred in
April 2008; a third in 2010. Bishop Arborelius has visited the Institute´s house
in Chicago on repeated occasions.
