APOSTOLIC LETTER
ISSUED *MOTU PROPRIO*
BY THE SUPREME PONTIFF
LEO XIV
The wage restraint measures adopted by my Predecessor in the Apostolic Letter issued *Motu Proprio* "Un futuro sostenibile" [A Sustainable Future] of 23 March 2021—measures that were necessary to address the exceptional challenge of the pandemic and had already been partially modified through the repeal of Article 3 via the *Rescriptum ex Audientia* of 16 June 2025—may now be set aside, in the certainty that the institutions of the Holy See and Vatican City State will continue, through different means, their commitment to ensuring economic sustainability.
For this reason, having heard the expert opinion of the Secretariat for the Economy and having carefully examined the matter,
I establish the following:
Effective 1 September 2026, the Apostolic Letter issued *Motu Proprio* "Un futuro sostenibile" of 23 March 2021 is repealed; however, the effects produced during the period of its validity remain definitive, including the effects resulting from the suspension of the accrual of the biennial seniority increments referred to in Art. 5, which suspension remains permanently in effect.
I decree that these provisions shall have immediate, full, and lasting force, and that this *Motu Proprio* be published in *L’Osservatore Romano* and subsequently in the *Acta Apostolicae Sedis*.
Given at the Vatican, 1 September 2026, in the second year of the Pontificate.
POPE LEO XIV

This pope is NEVER going to loosen up on the TLM. Period. He's not going to do it. There is no point in even discussing it. Pray for him? Sure. Pray that he changes his mind? By all means. Get your hopes up? Don't bother. Personnel is policy and the overwhelming number of appointments from this creator of questionable bishops have a policy that is, at best, uninterested and, at worst, downright hostile. Promoting Cordileone is just a misdirection play to keep us at bay. The case is closed until we get a very different kind of pope. Hint: With the kind of cardinals left to elect future popes that Francis and Leo have left us with, those odds are worse than slim. Our only hope is divine intervention. Of course, I DO believe in miracles, or I wouldn't be Catholic. But I have a feeling the kind of intervention that's coming isn't going to be pretty.
Well as the Pope and his minions continue to watch the Novus Ordo Church wither and shrink, they might change their minds for their own sake. It's tough making a living in the real world!
What I can't get over is the fact that traditionis custodis was issued under cover of a LIE, that a survey of Bishops showed that this was wanted. The fact that "the Vatican" hid behind this lie and continues to do so impairs the faith we ought to be able to have in them. To paraphrase the old joke about the Soviet Union, the Vatican will pretend to tell us the truth and we will pretend to believe them.
Luke--you should not be at all surprised by this. The entire Novus Ordo debacle is rooted in intellectual dishonesty, going all the way back to the planning stages of the Second Vatican Council.
Jerome Merwick,
Spot on. And the proof is shedding millions of Catholics who are no longer around to contribute $ - the closing of hundreds of parishes in Chicago is a testament to the failure of the "reform." The Catholics are still there, they simply no longer go to Church. Why bother, with such a drab and intellectually bankrupt liturgy?
Quote of the day:
The advocates claim Vatican II hasn't had its springtime effect yet because it hasn't been properly implemented
just like the communists claim about communism
The Visitation nuns are preparing to leave Nevers, France, after more than four centuries.
The remaining sisters are emptying their monastery. Furniture, crockery, tables, cupboards and other belongings are being sold in two “vide-couvent” sales, on September 12 and 19.
The departure follows a steep decline in numbers. By early 2025 only four nuns remained.
