General indult for Latin Mass firming up?
Cathcon has now heard from two independent sources that the indult was (finally!!!)signed on Friday of last week.
No coincidence, I think that Cardinal Ricard of Marseilles was in Rome that week.
Extract from his Episcopal Diary
"Dimanche 18 mars :
10h 30 messe et visite pastorale du secteur de Saint-Emilion. Messe et repas à Lussac.
Mercredi 21 mars :
Congrégation pour la Doctrine de la foi, à Rome.
Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith
Vendredi 23 mars :
9h 15 Conseil épiscopal ;
Samedi 24 mars :
9h 30 Emission RCF
15h Rencontre avec les acteurs de la solidarité à Libourne.
Messe puis rencontre à 20h avec toutes les catéchistes de l’ensemble Pastoral.
Dimanche 25 mars :
11h Confirmation à Saint-Médard en Jalles"
Only time will tell when (no longer an if, I think) the years that the locusts have eaten will draw to a close.
I have also heard in Brussels that the Pope may be celebrating the Old Rite over Easter, but that I can't believe. This would become more credible should the Indult be delayed until Holy Thursday.
Assorted Italian speculation here.

Comments
As for the Pope celebrating Easter in the Pian Rite - in our dreams only - for that to happen it would already need to have been planned and would involved a significant number in Rome: servers, priests, workmen, and not leat printers to prodide the booklets issued at papal masses. With so many involved someone would have spoken!
er....well, maybe not.
