Traditional Latin Mass in Maryland

As I said earlier, I was awaiting an analysis from Fr. Zuhlsdorf on what is (or may be) happening . His line of thought puts certain things into a more informed context. The comments also shed more light on the situation. The truth is, only those involved (the Holy Father who received the letter, Cardinal Castrillon who has probably been in negotiations with Bishop Fellay and Bishop Fellay himself) know what is going on totally and how things might progress. I continue to pray for a resolution. This appeared to be a great gesture by His Holiness and I pray it bears fruit!

Phil Lawler of Catholic World News posts a very good roundup of where things now stand as far as anyone can determine who is not on the "inside ." Personally, I have not stopped praying that the request of the Holy Father for normalization will occur. I am presuming the time-honored maxim whether accurate or not: "those who know aren't speaking, and those who are speaking don't really know." May God grant us reconciliation, and may Bishop Fellay respond in a favorable way to a simple request from the Vicar of Christ.
