Harassment, pure and simple. Francis the Destroyer keeping his perceived enemies under the Modernist microscope.
Strange. It wasn’t long ago that Pope Francis met with the orders head and that the TLM may continue in the order;

Pope Francis met with the superior general of the Priestly Fraternity of St. Peter (FSSP) on Thursday, confirming that restrictions on the celebration of the Traditional Latin Mass don’t apply to the order.*
A change of heart?
JP II givith…
PF takith away?

Philip,
If “the Vatican” is acting true to form, they will not (overtly) take away anything; there will just be certain conditions and “expectations” added: Novus Ordo celebration on Holy Thursday, ordinations in the new rite perhaps, and so forth.
Perhaps the FSSP could declare a silent retreat for the dates of the visitation. 😏
Of course, that assumes the listening church is really about listening.

I hope that the sanctification of souls doesn’t become non-relevant in this quest for unity via the current pontificate. The undercurrent is fueled by utterance’s and actions of PF. St. Jerome…pray for us.
If only he went after real desecrations and heresy’s occurring across Parishes all the time. Rather than picking on peaceful Latin Mass facilitators and parishioners. If only.
