Pope Leo is definitely putting Christ at the center of the Church, not theology or ideology:
Reports that Pope Leo will grant a Latin Mass extension to any bishop of England and Wales who asks for one. Nuncio has informed the bishops – several of whom have already secured permission for Tridentine Masses in their dioceses. So it seems that any incoming Archbishop of Westminster will continue Cardinal Nichols’s enlightened policy and the TLM is likewise safe in Southwark.

K is shattered! How dare the Pope do this and wear a fiddleback to boot!!!
Sophia here! Dear Father! In light of this very encouraging news, I hope Bishop Parkes, with your robust encouragement, will waste no time in applying for an extension and expansion for our Beloved Diocese of Savannah!

Excerpts:
-- Nuncio in Britain says pope won't overturn restrictions on old Latin Mass
"The "news" about Pope Leo XIV and the pre-Vatican II Mass following the plenary assembly of the Catholic Bishops' Conference of England and Wales is not so new after all."
VATICAN CITY (CNS) -- Pope Leo XIV does not intend to overturn Pope Francis' limits on celebrating the traditional Latin Mass but will grant two-year dispensations to bishops who ask, a nuncio said.
Archbishop Miguel Maury Buendía, the apostolic nuncio to Great Britain, told bishops Nov. 13 that Pope Leo told him he would not abrogate "Traditionis Custodes"...
But the archbishop made headlines by telling members of the Catholic Bishops' Conference of England and Wales that the pope would grant bishops who request it a two-year, renewable exemption.
The exemptions are nothing new, a Vatican official told Catholic News Service Nov. 14.
"This is no more than a restatement of the practice of the Dicastery for Divine Worship and the Discipline of the Sacraments since the motu proprio ('Traditionis Custodes') came into force," said Msgr. Enda Murphy, an official at the dicastery.
In late October, various Catholic news outlets reported that the Diocese of Cleveland, led by Bishop Edward C. Malesic, had received permission for the older Latin Mass to continue at two parish churches in his diocese.
In July, Bishop Michael Sis of San Angelo, Texas, confirmed that he had made a similar request, which was granted.
Pax.

Not Pierre?
Little Benny, look in the mirror, little man from Englandistan!
TJM:
If you stopped with the gratuitous, juvenile insults and name-calling directed at those with whom you disagree, channeling your hero man-child in the White House, and more befitting the school playground than mature adult conversation, there would be no need to encourage you to grow up.

Thanks Mark. It’s people like TJam that give the TLM a bad name and their cause a dis-service!
