Just let the pope reaffirm that all priests have the right to say the TLM without their bishop preventing them from doing so.

Every Priest has the right to say the Tridentine Mass, with or without the Indult. No person is able to distribute Prayer Books, for the Public, without Approbation. Those rules are not dispensed, and never were. Public "Church work" requires that you work without objections from the Local Ordinary. Private work, like posting here, are not subject to approbation.

Saying Mass from any Rite is always permitted, and a Priest can always offer Mass from any Missal, in private. We all know public Worship is under the jurisdiction of the Local Ordinary. As such, for the benefit of the Church, an Indult is promoted. Permission for any regular Mass is required. You can't start a new Parish without leave from the Ordinary.

In most places an Indult is easy to obtain. Episcopal Approval is required in part because of problems and needs of certain areas. In some places, surprisingly, many claim that the Church does not have the authority to change the order of Mass, there it is going to be harder to get. In communities where the claim the Novus Ordo is invalid, a Indult is much harder to obtain. There are good reasons for this. where someone uses TLM to promote schism, denigrate the Normative Mass of the Church, or impugn the authority of the See, then the Normative Mass is the only Mass permitted.

I see the bigger hurdle is a Priest who would take on a Tridentine Mass. There is one in my Diocese, and he is busy. I know a few who know Latin as well, but do not share my enthusiasm for a Tridentine Mass.

I'm not longing for all Latin masses, but your comments are sorta silly. Basically, you're saying that the Latin Mass may be said under the same conditions that defrocked pedophiles can say mass.

Well, whatever the Pope desires is fine with me. The language in which the Mass is offered is secondary. What maters is OUR hearts and minds and souls

General Audience June 8, 2005. Pope Benedict's exegesis of Psalm 110

In sum, the Psalm invites us at the end to discover all the good things the Lord gives us every day. We see more easily the negative aspects of our life. The Psalm invites us to see the positive also, the many gifts we receive, and so find gratitude, as only a grateful heart can celebrate worthily the liturgy of thanksgiving, the Eucharist.

That can be done in English or Latin.

Saying Mass from any Rite is always permitted, and a Priest can always offer Mass from any Missal, in private.

Dominick, are you sure about this? You mean a Roman Rite priest can say a Coptic divine liturgy, or something out of an old manuscript (Lorrha Missal) in private? And if he can do that, can he "cobble together" a liturgy in private?
