Rorate-caeli had already addressed your questions in numerous posts.
The answers are:
1) No
2) No
3) No
My personal opinion is that the FOTI is an easier target, than either ICK of FSSP, for Pope Francis because of the very issue you brought up in your Question #1.
It is obvious that Pope Francis is not a big fan of Pope Benedict’s Summorum Pontificum.
ebb tide:
well, I don’t frequent that blog any longer. There is a little bit too much elitism over there and anger. I am sympathetic to the Extraordinary Form of the Liturgy and think Pope Benedicts Moto was a good thing. The problem is it seems some Traditionalist can go over board with their criticisms. I like the Ordinary Roman Rite celebrated in accordance with the style of Emeritus Pope Benedict and to be fair, I thought the Christmas Nativity Mass celebrated by Pope Francis was done very well.
Has Rorate-caeli addressed it with their intuition or can they verify their answers to questions 2 and 3 from multiple sources. So what this boils down to is, per your own opinion, question 1, that is the Franciscans of the Immaculate were not canonically set up to celebrate the Extraordinary Form of the Roman Rite. So again, did it does suggest their is something other than just “the Extraordinary Form of the Roman Rite”. Did some priests decide they were going to start celebrating the Traditional Rite in parishes exclusively without those said parishes forming viable communities who requested this form of the Roman Rite.
So I don’t think FOTI is a target. It seems from the outside that there are 2 camps in this Order, those who want to celebrate the older Form of the Roman Rite and those the ordinary Form of the Roman Rite. It still looks like to me there is an internal struggle between these 2 groups and my guess is when all the facts are out, this is what will be the case. While I think Rorate-caeli is reporting what they heard from their sources, I don’t think Rorate-caeli has all the facts as my guess is their sources are those who in principle reject the ordinary Form of the Roman Rite, while not necessarily calling it an invalid Rite, which many over at that site do in fact state.
