How about a pre-1962 Mass in every city of 50,000 people in America for starters? I’d even go with a 1962 Mass — and if even mentions the Motu Proprio I just might let out a banshee of a scream. First, let it be promulgated if it is ever going to happen. Then promote Cardinal Mahony to the Atlas Mountains in Algeria. Then do a de-Bugninizing of the Novus Ordo... Then...
I risk the wrath of Arrogant Bustard and Sitetest let alone Mrs. Tax-Chick. The (latest) rumor is that the Motu Proprio will come down between April 16th (Pope Benedict’s birthday) to May 5th (the Feast of St. Pius Vth). More and more speculation centers on those dates.
The rumors also say that it will enable a Tridentine Mass where 30 PARISHIONERS demand the Mass. The Pastor must thenceforth make some kind of accommodation.
The FSSP is also offering concentrated one-week training sessions for priests to say the Tridentine Mass in Nebraska. The first session offered for this June is booked solid.
The Vatican reports that “Pian Missals (1962)” are being reprinted by a number of sources in anticipation of the event.
Yesterday, I watched this film:

showing how a Novus Ordo altar could be totally converted into a Tridentine High Altar in only 15 minutes (the film has been speeded up to 5 minutes). It is quite ingenious.
In all, if Providence allows, there will be “weeping and wailing and gnashing of teeth” in many liberal quarters soon enough!
