| | MISC. ARTICLES - Custom and the 1962 Roman Missal |
 | | The use of the Roman Missal was decreed by universal law in 1570, and the Missal was revised in different ways by legislative acts of subsequent popes in 1604, 1634, 1888, 1920, 1955, 1960, 1961, 1964, 1965, and 1967. |
 | | This ecclesiastical authority would be the Roman Pontiff, who as the Supreme Legislator possesses the authority to promulgate universal legislation binding the whole Church, as well as the Diocesan Bishop, who possesses the power to legislate within his diocese. |
 | | Furthermore, one must remember that the Roman Pontiff has the right to suppress universal and/or immemorial customs, so even if the celebration of this missal were a matter of universal and immemorial custom, the Roman Pontiff still has the right to suppress it. |
