THIS DIALOGUE IS IMPORTANT AS THIS BISHOP KEPT HIS MOUTH SHUT THROUGHOUT POPE FRANCIS’ CRACKDOWN OF THE TLM


 I copy this from Facebook:

⚜ PAPA LEON XIV IN CONVERSATIONS WITH REPRESENTATIVES OF TRADITIONAL LITURGY

A Process of Synodality: Listening and Dialogue. 

On the morning of 9/26, Pope Leon XIV received in audience Archbishop Guido Pozzo, ex-secretary of the 'missing' Pontificia Commission Ecclesia Dei.

In the first book where the first interview appears, "León XIV: Citizen of the World, Missionary of the 21st Century", published last week, the new Pope announced that "he will soon meet with representatives of the Tridentian rite." And, in fact, the Pope is already in talks with representatives of the traditional rite.

⚜ WHO IS MONSEÑOR GUIDO POZZO?

Monsignor Pozzo worked for the Roman Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith under the direction of Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger. He taught at the Lateran University and was Undersecretary of the International Theological Commission. In 2009, Pope Benedict XVI appointed him secretary of the Pontificia Commission Ecclesia Dei, responsible for the Traditional Roman Rite and the communities committed to him. He also took part in conversations with the Priestly Fraternity of St. Pius X during the pontificate of Benedict XVI. In 2012, the German Pope named him titular archbishop of Bagnoregio.

Monsignor Pozzo remained as secretary of Ecclesia Dei until Pope Francis dissolved this commission in 2019 and placed his responsibilities directly under the Congregation for the Doctrine of Faith. With the motu proprio Traditionis custodes, Francisco transferred responsibilities to the Dicastery for Divine Worship and Discipline from the Sacraments and the Dicastery for the Institutes of Consecrated Life and Societies of Apostolic Life.

What the head of the Argentine Church understood as a kind of "normalization" actually meant a downward level, as Francisco recognized no real need for the continued existence of the traditional rite, of ancient communities and ritual congregations, and worked for its dissolution and disappearance.

Following the dissolution of Ecclesia Dei in 2019, Monsignor Pozzo, then 67 years old, received financial supervision from the Pontific Choir of the Sistine Chapel. Otherwise, the cleric has remained silent. He has not spoken publicly since, not even about the motu proprio Traditionis custodes, with which Francisco launched a general attack against the traditional rite.

Archbishop Pozzo is now 74 years old and is undoubtedly a loyal and competent interlocutor of Pope Leo XIV in matters of tradition and traditional rite.



⚜ CARDINAL BURKE AND 

      CARDINAL SARAH

Having already received Cardinal Robert Sarah and Cardinal Raymond Burke, Pope Lion XIV has continued his colloquiums with clergy closely linked to the traditional rite with the audience received by Monsignor Guido Pozzo.

The "opportunities" spoken of by Lion XIV in his interview with Elise Ann Allen (Crux), which constitutes the basis of the book of conversations mentioned earlier, he created them himself by convening selected ecclesiastes. For chronological context:

Elise Ann Allen's interview with Lion XIV will take place July 10th and 30th.

On August 22, Lion XIV receives in audience Cardinal Raymond Burke.

On September 8, it was announced that a pontifical mass could be held again according to the traditional rite in the traditional pilgrimage Ad Petri Sedem, on October 25, at the Basilica of Saint Peter. Cardinal Raymond Burke would be the celebrant.

On September 22, Lion XIV receives in audience Cardinal Robert Sarah.

On September 18, the Spanish edition of the book of conversations "León XIV: Citizen of the World, Missionary of the 21st Century" will be published in Peru. The declaration of Lion XIV about his desire to meet with representatives of the traditional rite is made public.

▪︎ On September 26, Leon XIV receives in audience Archbishop Guido Pozzo.

Ganswein has also been talking publicly, the first time since Francis’s death.

Interestingly, while Bishop Martin shoves TLM attenders in his diocese into a chapel that he explicitly states is intended to be too small to accommodate them, a High Mass according to some obscure missal that is definitely, definitely not the Roman Rite, per Traitors of Tradition, was celebrated in St. Peter's in Rome today.

I wonder if K and Rosie O’Donnell are related:

Rosie O’Donnell was targeted by Trump and his cronies to the extent she felt it necessary to relocate to Ireland. He continues to disparage her and call her fat at any opportunity. You can understand her ongoing feud with him. Truthfully she’d be better off ignoring him and getting on with rebuilding her life but easier said than done when the wound is still raw.

O’Donnell was spot on when she picked up Barron was autistic although she was wrong to make public her personal observations.

Guys, why are we talking about Trump and Rosie O'Donnell on a thread about... let's see... Archbishop Pozzo?!

Truly Trump and Democracy Derangement Syndrome…T&DDS!

I agree with Francis’s decision to collapse Ecclesia Dei under the Dicasteries of Divine Worship and Clergy / Religious life so as to mainstream regulation and oversight of the TLM. Under ED the TLM had become a church within a church!

Let us say nothing of the personal ordinariates! They even have their own bishops!
