How to implement Summorum Pontificum

Jeff Culbreath of the Stony Creek Digest posts a story on the TLM at Ave Maria University in Naples, FL. It was reported that the TLM would return to Ave Maria under Fr. Fessio. Now Bishop Dewane of Venice, FL has released this statement of further clarification:

“Due to the demand for the celebration of the Extraordinary Form of the Roman Rite, both from Catholics residents in Ave Maria Town as well as from students, faculty, and staff at Ave Maria University, and in accordance with ‘Summorum Pontificum’, it is fitting that a Sunday Mass be celebrated on campus in the Extraordinary Form. In keeping with the same manifest desire, it would seem opportune that the Extraordinary Form of the Roman Rite be celebrated on a daily basis at the University, and at a convenient time. Further, it is noted that, in accordance with ‘Summorum Pontificum’, unscheduled Masses can also be celebrated by priests on campus, in the Extraordinary Form of the Roman Rite.”

As Jeff said in commenting on this story, "WOW!"
