Скачать или смотреть A Cardinal’s Silent Act That Shook the Church: The Traditional Confirmation in Bastia

In December, during the sacred silence of Advent, something quietly extraordinary happened in the Cathedral of Santa Maria in Bastia. Cardinal François-Xavier Bustillo publicly conferred the Sacrament of Confirmation according to the Traditional Roman Pontifical — not in private, not as a concession, but solemnly in his cathedral.

This video explores why that single liturgical act reverberated far beyond Corsica. In a time when the traditional liturgy is often treated as marginal or provisional, this moment reopened deeper questions about continuity, memory, authority, and the future of Catholic worship.

Without slogans, without statements, and without controversy, the liturgy itself spoke. And in doing so, it revealed that the debate over tradition in the Church is far from settled.

This is not a political story.
It is not a legal argument.
It is a liturgical moment — and a reminder that what is celebrated shapes what is believed.

Watch to understand why a quiet sacrament stirred such profound reflection across the Catholic world.
