Damian Thompson of the Telegraph.co.UK is reporting today that the Latin Mass will return to England and Wales . The traditional Latin Mass – effectively banned by Rome for 40 years – is to be reintroduced into every Roman Catholic parish in England and Wales, the senior Vatican cardinal in charge of Latin liturgy said at a press conference in London today. In addition, all English seminaries must teach trainee priests how to say the old Mass so that they can celebrate it in all parishes. Catholic congregations throughout the world will receive special instruction on how to appreciate the old services, formerly known as the Tridentine Rite. Read the story here .

Patrick Archbold of Summorum Pontificum expands a great deal on Fr. Z's post below on the letter from the PCED to a seminarian. His entry too is a must read . Patrick also provides a link to Damian Thompson of Telegraph.co.UK which is marvelous. The title of his article? What else? Revolution in the seminaries .
