CHISELING AWAY CHUNK BY CHUNK TRADITIONIS CUSTODIS OR IS IT—WE MUST WAIT FOR POPE LEO TO TELL US…


This is an interesting comment about the TLM from Cardinal Gambetti.

This is from the Catholic Herald:

The Catholic Herald has secured an exclusive response from Cardinal Gambetti on the future of the Traditional Latin Mass.

The young curial cardinal, regarded by many as a handpicked protégé of Pope Francis, offered a brief but telling reply. The Catholic Herald asked the Cardinal whether we could inquire about the Traditional Latin Mass and its future status. He responded: “Better not answer that. I have been told that we will wait for the Holy Father to decide.”

The remark is notable for its clarity in signalling that the College of Cardinals is awaiting direction from the Pope himself. While other cardinals have in recent months expressed personal views on the future of the liturgy, Cardinal Gambetti stressed the need to leave the question in the hands of the Holy Father.

I think progressives know that Traditional Minded Catholics tend to support the Holy Father, even if reluctantly. If they make their positions know too early arguments can be made that might influence the decision. And the Vatican is reluctant to confess a mistake, so once the announcement is made, we are stuck with it until the next Pope arrives.

Well they didn’t support Francis and did their best to form a coalition to undermine him. I think Leo will be cautious, he’ll send out an olive branch to show willing but won’t want to undermine Francis too much and give the anti-VC2 lobby a platform/ re-ignite the liturgy wars
