PopeWatch: Roche

July 16, the feast of Our Lady of Mount Carmel and the third anniversary of Traditionis custodes, was the date set for the release of a new document from the Holy See putting an end to the traditional Mass, which, it was said, would be reserved exclusively for the so-called “Ecclesia Dei institutes.” It was, as we called it in this blog, the final solution

But, perhaps through the intercession of the Blessed Virgin of Mount Carmel herself, nothing happened. And some have begun to comment on what happened in the Vatican’s mendacious circles. I offer here the explanations given for the facts.

1. The document in question exists, and has existed since the end of 2021, with more or fewer details. It was intended to be signed in February 2022 by Pope Francis in the form of an apostolic constitution, as we said at the time; but not only did he refuse to do so, but he intemperately had the person who brought him the proposal, Cardinal Arthur Roche, expelled from the office.

Go here to read the rest.  All very interesting if true.  All we know for sure is that the Pope has not yet imposed the death sentence on the traditional mass, when it was widely thought that was what he was going to do.

Si vivere linguam Latinam vis, tum loqui et legere et scribere linguam Latinam disce. Missa Latina sine oratoribus et lectoribus et scriptoribus vivere non potest.

Fascinating the the document supposedly putting an end to the Latin Mass (because it is too archaic) was itself titled in archaic Latin.
