I doubt it will be a universal indult, or Hoyos would have said so. Since it is being worked out, I suspect bishops will have to prove that they have a "wide and generous application" of Ecclesia Dei.

IOW, is the Mass available at convenient locations?

Each bishop will have to offer at least one, on a regular basis. Or, some guidelines could be issued, and the implementation left to the local bishop.

An apostolic administration would be preferred, or the tension will continue.

What the leftist don't realize is that a truly wide and generous application of the Tridentine mass would be their best move.

It would take all of the oomph out of the traditional movement because those who are part of it mainly because they prefer the Latin rite would now be happy.

Unfortunately - although this would be a very positive development - many of us realize that our problems go way beyond the mass alone.

"Each bishop will have to offer at least one, on a regular basis. Or, some guidelines could be issued, and the implementation left to the local bishop."

You could be right that it is merely an audit of the application of the present indult that is involved.

However, I get the impression fron his choice of words that the issue of priests having to obtain special permission from their bishop is what could be at stake here.

"An apostolic administration would be preferred, or the tension will continue."

Agreed - but I don't think this Pope will live long enough to see this happen in his reign.
