[Aestus Veritatis]

You are correct, Canticle of Deborah.

Mel attends the Masses of retired priests, who use the Missal of Pope St. Pius V. Mel said that, while in Italy, he was attending the Mass of a priest who told him that when the Novus Ordo was promulgated, he went to Paul VI and told him that it was an abomination and he could not say it and asked why the traditional Mass was forbidden. Paul VI said that he did not abrogate the traditional Mass and that any Catholic priest was free to say it at any time. The priest got Paul VI to put it in writing and shows this letter to anyone who tries to give him grief about saying the Mass that he was ordained to offer.

That is wonderful. I wish that letter could be used in dioceses around the world.
