In this case I think you are wrong. The Cardinal was approached by a fairly young priest from a parish in one of the northern suberbs. The Cardinal told him to make his case and the priest did his homework. The Cardinal has actually been given a lot of flack from those under him and at one point had to say "I am the Bishop and it is my decision." He took the information the preist had provided and by the next Presbyteral Council Meeting had decided to give the Indult albeit in a very limited fashion. It is true that one of the reasons he used was because there are people going to Tridentine Masses within the diocese which are not approved but also because some travel to Canada and Flint which do have Indult Masses. Another reason was because this young priest made a good case for the Mass and it didn't hurt that there are 6 seminarians from his parish in the seminary.
As did Pope St. Pius V?
6 seminarians from one parish? How traditional is it?
Although I emailed a friend who actually KNOWS the numbers (no response yet...)---could you comment on the article's mention of "mass emigration" of seminarians from SHMS?
Any truth to this?
