Pope Leo XIV met this Independence Day with Bishop François Touvet of Fréjus-Toulon, France.
What could it mean? What could it mean? Oh, what could it mean?
Given the brouhaha over the sleight of hand concerning the purpose of Traditionis Custodes, meaning that Pope Francis’ stated reason in that document for his suppression of the liberal magisterium on the TLM of two popes, St. Pope John Paul II and Pope Benedict XVI was due to a majority of the world bishops wanted Summorum Pontificum and the tighter restrictions of St. Pope John Paul II suppressed was in fact, to put it charitably, what the majority of bishops did not want!
We know now that Pope Francis’ stated reason is in fact not what the world bishops wanted and most were shocked that they were used to bring about a suppression of the permission of two predecessor of Pope Francis.
Here is a synopsis of how Bishop Touvet became the Bishop of Fréjus-Toulon:
The current bishop of the Diocese of Fréjus-Toulon, France, has faced an apostolic visitation and the suspension of ordinations since 2022 due to certain practices.
Bishop François Touvet has been appointed coadjutor bishop of the Diocese of Fréjus-Toulon by Pope Francis, to ensure a smooth transition from 71-year-old Bishop Dominique Rey. This decision comes after the suspension of priestly ordinations in the Diocese of Fréjus-Toulon in June 2022, and the apostolic visit conducted in early 2023 by two French bishops.

This dances around the question of whether Vatican II was a break with the previous Church or an addition.
Certainly the interpretations and implementation of VII is a break and in discontinuity with what preceded. Pope Benedict wanted to reverse that as did JPII. Pope Francis wanted the clean break and even more. He stated explicitly that he wanted a different Church. If heterodox left doesn’t get what they want, I could well see a schismatic different church named Bergolian.
Father McDonald,
This will warm your heart. I note these young boys are celebrating Mass, "ad orientem!"

Father McDonald,
Bishop Reed would have been in peril if he said this while Francis was alive!

All of them have become tiresome with their trite ideological messaging. Their audience is becoming increasingly small hopefully going extinct. Unfortunately, none of us will likely be around to see that happen.
