While Cardinal Aguiar Retes has allowed the Fraternity of St Peter to continue its apostolate in Mexico City, no secular clergy are allowed to offer the vetus ordo. The cardinal has also been critical of vocations to traditional religious institutes and their apostolates, saying that, at times, “we have preferred to take refuge in the traditional ways that were effective, but today, in a secularized world, there are few who respond to these forms.”
