Don Jim reports that the archdiocese of Oristano, Italy, is removing its free-standing altar, which had been installed in the 1960's.
Instead, beginning with the consecration of their new archbishop, Mass will be celebrated ad orientem on the classic High Altar.
Given that Cardinal Ruini, the Vicar of Rome, was present for the consecration, this decision has some added prominence.
Huzzah!
