This would remove the pretence that the old Mass had been abrogated, make it very difficult (if not impossible) to abrogate it in the future and would cause many graces to flow into the Church because of the increased celebration of the old rite. The answer from Rome to this request was that "Basically, the Pope does agree that the old Mass has never been abrogated and that all priests have the right to say it" but the request was refused...."

In France, the Bishop of Poitiers reported that he had twelve young priests who wish to say the old Mass, and in France as a whole a petition from over three hundred and twenty diocesan priests have made a similar request.

The Pope apparently believes that all these priests already have the right to say the Traditional Roman Catholic Mass, but he refuses to publicly say so.

We must pray that the truth becomes known.

This does appear to be the case. Have any idea why JPII doesn't "go public?"
