But then I never expected the pontifical Mass in Westminster Cathedral in June, nor that Cardinal Castrillon Hoyos would say the things he said, nor the front page splash in the Catholic Herald that week, nor many other things that have happened in the past year.<BR/><BR/>And the "old" Mass is spreading, albeit slowly. Unfortunately, the old indult mentality is still alive in pockets, but it is dying. I wonder if what has happened has fully sunk in yet, or has been sufficiently publicised : namely, that every priest with faculties to celebrate in the Roman rite may now use either the 1962 Missal or the 1970 Missal, without the need for further permission. And that this was not just another gesture from Rome. It's for keeps. Yes, I know there are practical difficulties ! Nevertheless this was an astonishing, dramatic step. In time, it will bear fruit.<BR/><BR/>It seems to me Father has reason for a further celebration in September : the anniversary of the "entrata in vigore" of Summorum Pontificum on 14th.<BR/><BR/>I'm reprising my celebration cocktail (if I can find the recipe) on 14 September. There is much to celebrate, and, I think, much to look forward to.PeterHWrighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08734936083886678494noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35539648.post-83398168811605280042008-07-08T19:38:00.000+01:002008-07-08T19:38:00.000+01:00I presume this is to stress your allegiance to the...I presume this is to stress your allegiance to the Roman Rite now having two forms.Fr Michael Brownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15320336535138538635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35539648.post-79085809724054832522008-07-08T19:22:00.000+01:002008-07-08T19:22:00.000+01:00As an Old Believer I have my two fingers up!As an Old Believer I have my two fingers up!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
