BOMBSHELL! 💣
In addition to Pope Leo’s bombshell pastoral solution, you can read a great interview with Cardinal Eijk who recently celebrated His Eminence’s first Solemn Pontifical Mass in the Ancient Ordo! More bishops need to learn this and experience what His Eminence describes.

UPDATE: Vatican News report:
Liturgy and the Tridentine Mass
Finally, the Pope addressed an issue to which he is “particularly attentive”: the growing number of communities attached to the Vetus Ordo (the celebration of the Mass in Latin according to the liturgy in use before the Second Vatican Council).
In this regard, Pope Leo XIV expressed concern that this situation could open “a painful wound within the Church regarding the celebration of the Mass,” which he described as “the very sacrament of unity.”
If the Church is a mother who cares for her children, he said, she must heal wounds and learn to look upon others “with renewed understanding and greater sensitivity."
He therefore invites the Bishops, with the help of the Holy Spirit, to seek “concrete solutions” that will generously include those sincerely attached to the Vetus Ordo, while remaining faithful to the directions of the Second Vatican Council.

Rx: Restore Summorum Pontificum!
Well, this makes clear he’s not Francis II!
The impulse of what Pope Leo is saying is basically Summirom PONTIFICUM meaning pastoral sensitivity to what was held sacred in the past as being sacred today but not denying Vatican II’ s desire for the liturgy. Thus regarding SP, two forms of the Roman Rite, the normal, regular, normative Vatican II rite, Ordinary Form, and the out of the norm, Extraordinary Form. Benedict as Leo wanted inner healing in the Church. Pope Leo’s words indicate he’s on the same page with SP.
