Check out this document from The Congregation for the Evangelization of Peoples.
It’s a look at the status of the old Mass through the lens of Summorum Pontificum, and there are quite a few telling statements in there. I’ll give you two (with my emphasis) and then you can, properly motivated, read and enjoy it for [...]
Now There’s a Shocker

In a story in CNS today, it is being reported that retired Cardinal Carlo Maria Martini will NOT be celebrating the extraordinary rite of Mass.
I’ll give you a moment to stop reeling. You OK? Good. Let’s move on. Here’s what his Eminence had to say:
Although he loves the Latin language and would have no technical [...]

Now that I’ve got your attention, I have to say I’m not feeling nearly as exuberant as little orphan Annie about this, but Fr.

Why does it matter any more, after so many false alarms? Because [...]

Latin Mass might not boost congregations:
For decades, the pre-Vatican II Tridentine Mass could only be celebrated by a priest with permission from his bishop.
But a Vatican official, Cardinal Dario Castrillon Hoyos, confirmed earlier this month that Pope Benedict XVI would soon relax the restrictions on celebrating the Tridentine Mass because of a “new and renewed [...]
John Allen in the New York Times on the MP

Fr. Z beat me to it. John Allen has a piece in the New York Times today about the impending Motu Proprio. I think his comments are spot on, so I’ll defer to his treatment of the piece.

Rod Dreher on Tradition

The Rod Dreher article on tradition that I recently mentioned was published today. While he didn’t use any of the content I sent him (to his own detriment, of course ; ) and his approach takes into account various religious traditions, the return of the Traditional Latin Mass is a centerpiece of the article.

Via Fr. Z, I’ve become aware of a blogger named “Cathy of Alex”, who runs a blog called The Recovering Dissident Catholic. Yesterday, she tackled the subject of “gang colors” at Mass:
It used to be that the only person in the Church during Holy Mass who gave serious thought to what color they had [...]
