  The St. Joseph Foundation - Canonical Basics
The bishop is incorrect when he declares that "no one may act in this regard without the permission of the bishop." A lower level legislator would invalidly usurp the authority of the Apostolic See or the conference of bishops were he to exercise the prerogatives reserved to an authority at a higher level.
A diocesan bishop is required to moderate the liturgy in his diocese in accord with the norm of law.
Bishop Foley declares that a legal custom has been established that Mass at a free standing altar is celebrated facing the people; but the custom of which he speaks seems to attach to an inanimate object, the altar, rather than a community of persons, as required by canon 23.

 Birmingham
The cathedral and bishop's house had been erected in Bishop Walsh's vicariate (21 June, 1840) from designs drawn by Augustus Welby Pugin, the foremost promoter of the revival of Gothic architecture, who, through the munificence of John, 16th Earl of Shrewsbury, adorned the diocese with many ecclesiastical buildings.
Mention, too, must be made of John Hardman of Birmingham, whose firm has done so much in promoting ecclesiastical art, notably stained-glass and metal work, and whose benefactions to the cathedral choir have enabled it to reach a standard of excellence in church music which places it first among Catholic choirs.
On 17 February, 1888, Dr. Ilsley became the second Bishop of Birmingham, and at once took in hand the difficult task of protecting and rescuing the destitute Catholic children of the diocese.

 Bishop's Decree Raises Questions
The bishop's introduction to the decree stated that a "well-intentioned but flawed movement" encourages priests "to take liberties with the Mass by celebrating in a manner called ad orientem, that is, with their backs to the people" without the permission of a bishop.
Bishop Foley, who has been bishop of Birmingham since 1994, and was auxiliary bishop of Richmond, Virginia, for the preceding eight years, was to have been the principal celebrant at the consecration of the nuns' new, much larger chapel, originally scheduled for November 21.
It is beyond dispute that a bishop has, as the decree indicates, the right and responsibility to assure that the liturgy is celebrated according to Church law within his own diocese and to eradicate all abuses; and Catholics are to accept the authority of their bishop.
