• Using a parish church to celebrate the traditional Mass using the 1962 Missale Romanum
• Erecting a new personal parish to celebrate the traditional Mass using the 1962 Missale Romanum
• Allowing priests ordained after the publication of Traditionis custodes (July 16, 2021) permission to use the 1962 Missale Romanum

#PopeFrancis has confirmed a Rescript of Cdl. Roche stating that dispensations from Traditionis Custodes are reserved to the Holy See.@Pontifex also re-affirmed Roche’s Dec. 2021 Responsa ad Dubia, which expanded TC’s restrictions on the traditional Mass.https://t.co/pQdv6SGMFS pic.twitter.com/CJPHuBAf3c

because the Responsa ad dubia were not approved in forma specifica, they are not legislation and can only have authority insofar as they interpret the provisions of Traditionis custodes (TC). The points referred to in Roche’s recent letter are that TC states the [traditional] Mass should not be offered in parishes and that it names the CDW and CICLSA [Congregation for Institutes of Consecrated Life and Societies of Apostolic Life] to exercise authority of Holy See with regards to provisions of TC. But neither statement asserts that dispensations from point of UA [traditional Mass] celebrated in parish churches is reserved to the Holy See and therefore reserved to CDW or CICLSA.

Hence, in light of canon 18, it is clear that diocesan bishops retain the right to dispense from the relevant provision of TC so that the UA may continue to be offered in designated parish churches. Canon 18 provides that “Laws which establish a penalty, restrict the free exercise of rights, or contain an exception from the law are subject to strict interpretation,” meaning that they should be interpreted so as to preserve as much as possible the freedom of those they affect. Here, that clearly means that diocesan bishops retain their right to dispense from the relevant provision.

Grave news from the Holy See: Pope Francis has confirmed that Bishops need explicit permission from the Dicastery for Divine Worship for the use of parish churches for the TLM. I.e. they can’t use Canon 87.1.

If only +Williamson hadn't screwed up the SSPX deal with BXVI

Its an interesting thought:

Both BXVI and Francis have/had the destruction of Tradition in mind.

We always knew that.

We initially thought that Francis simply lost patience with BXVI's "long game."

BXVI wanted to lure them all into an accord (with SSPX claiming authority of even the exempt traditional religious congregations, so that all of Tradition would be handed to the enemy with a ribbon, and nobody could escape).

Now I'm starting to wonder whether Francis has deviated from that plan after all:

The silence of the SSPX is inexplicable, unless one of two things has happened:

1) They do not oppose Francis's teachings;

2) They fear to lose something they perceive as a good.

The 2nd is obviously the choice.

So what do they hope to gain with their treacherous silence?

Well, if Francis pushes all conservative/indult "trads" into the folds of the SSPX, then all are once again corralled into a single easily controlled group.

The influx of refugees will dilute what little tradition remains within the SSPX (effectively they are the foot soldiers of BXVI penetrating the defenses), and Francis can let them continue to work their magic, while the mute SSPX pretends there is no issue).

When the neo-SSPX is finally as liberal as EWTN, they'll be given a bishop or two (bishops with no teeth, and no opposition to V2).

But like in the movie The Matrix, the Resistance represents the glitch; the anomaly which, slowly grown must once again be infiltrated and destroyed.  When numbers become sufficiently high enough to take notice (say in 20 years), Rome will come knocking, while their agitators agitate from within.

The Architect must destroy Zion.  "Rest assured, this will be the third time we have destroyed Zion, and we have become exceedingly effecient at it."

Campos, Menzingen...Morannes?

Cardinal Cottier was a diabolical genius, and Rome has not forgotten his sage advice.
