The document is now in draft form and is expected to be published between October and Christmas this year.

In a bombshell passage, the document will also encourage far wider use of the “old Mass”, the Tridentine rite Mass, in Latin, throughout the Roman Catholic Church.

Too good to be true. I'll wait and hope and pray until then.

Would the American Church even comply with such an order? The Erie Diocese might need some "persuadin'."

It would be great, but I kind of think Latin at every parish once a week would be a bit hard in places that don't have resident priests. I would assume there would be at least a Bishop's out, but even with that it would be a welcome change.

Maybe its finally time to heal the schism with orthodox traditionalist Catholics and push the schism with heterodox liberal dissenting Catholics (including many bishops here.)
