Pope Benedict XVI is rumored (rumored, mind you) to have signed a universal indult so that priests can once again say the Tridentine Mass:
Pope Benedict XVI is understood to have signed a universal indult – or permission – for priests to celebrate again the Mass used throughout the Church for nearly 1,500 years. The indult could be published in the next few weeks, sources told The Times.
If true, this is a wonderful development. I am constantly frustrated by finding a different Mass when I travel — different to the point where one could not participate if they wanted to.
Now I can.
The real victory here is for Catholic culture. Culture is the only thing that will cure a host of social ills.
Deo Gratias!
