Actually, the Traditional Latin Mass is not a "separate rite." Although the new Mass is quite different in a number of ways, technically, it is a different form of the same rite.

The document to be published supposedly makes this point clearly: the TLM is the extraordinary form of the Latin Rite; the Mass of Paul VI is the ordinary form thereof.

I am hoping the motu proprio is published soon. The freeing of the TLM is long overdue.

It should never have been suppressed anyway. I have never understood the radicalism of the reformers. In the name of the people they trampled on the feelings of many. many Catholics, especially the old.
