Catholic World News is reporting a more detailed report on the story of December 30th by Rorate Caeli on the clarifications which will be handed down by the Ecclesia Dei Commission: Vatican, Dec. 31, 2007 (CWNews.com) - The Vatican will soon issue a new document clarifying the terms of Summum Pontificum, Cardinal Tarcisio Bertone (bio - news) has revealed.

Fascinating news is reported by Rorate Caeli . I am awaiting this document with great interest. From an interview granted by Cardinal Bertone, Secretary of State, to the largest Italian Catholic weekly, Famiglia Cristiana (excerpts: Apcom and A.

Some have accused the Pope of having disowned the Conciliar teaching. On the other hand, there have been those who have interpreted the motu proprio as an authorization for the return of the pre-Conciliar rite only. Both [are] wrong positions, exaggerated episodes which do not correspond to the intentions of the Pope.." The release of this document should clear up a great deal of misinformation and incorrect interpretations.
