A CURIOUS IMBALANCE

The blog Rorate Ceali dramatically declares that Summorum Pontificum is abrogated!  Is it really?
Surely a most distressing headline for any traditional Catholic!

Franciscans of the Immaculate after High Mass at St John Lateran
Ones first reaction is to think surely not!  Perhaps there is some mistake! The evidence produced makes a good case that in this specific instance there is some truth in it, indeed corroboration is found in the comments of some members of the Franciscans of the Immaculate but put in such a way as to suggest that it is a welcome imposition because of internal strife within the order and assures us that it applies to the order alone. Well that sort of calms things a bit but one is still a bit weary?

After all for a Vatican decastery to wade into such an internal struggle with papal backing is heavy handed to say the least.  Especially since there has been little or no word on the continuing saga of the dissident female religious of the US.  Should we expect the same level of papal interest.  Seems a curious imbalance to me.

As ever we shall have to wait and see.

Oremus pro invicem.
