Renato Corti (born 1 March 1936) was Bishop of Novara[1] in years of 1990-2011. He was embrolied in controversy after Pope Benedict XVI on 7 July 2007 issued the motu proprio Summorum Pontificum liberalising the use of the Latin Mass. In November 2007 Corti suspended three priests who refused to celebrate Mass on Sunday, according to the newspaper La Stampa.[2]
Fathers Alberto Secci, Stefano Coggiola and Marco Pizzocchi refused to celebrate Sunday Masses after Bishop Corti said that they could not use exclusively the traditional Latin rite (the Tridentine Mass). Six hundred people signed a petition in support of their parish priest. While one group supported the priest’s decision, another complained that their children did not like the Mass celebrated in Latin.[3]
