Whiskey Tango Francis

Do they think that no one will read these documents?

That this is a motu proprio makes loads of difference—a motu proprio is not primarily a teaching document, but a legal document meant to promote law. Giving an explanation that is solid re-enforces the law and ties it in with previous law and previous teaching. Giving an explanation that is, shall we say, less than solid, may not do this so well, and if done badly enough may have a contrary effect with regards to the reception of the law.

It only takes a couple of people who know things to read such a document and sound the alarm and if the situation is right this will make the reception and effective promulgation of the law be, shall we say, less than smooth.

Many bishops did not graciously accept Pope Benedict's generous Moto Proprio Summorum Ponticum and were reluctant to grant their priests permissions to celebrate the TLM.

Will these same bishops be the ones who enforce Beroglio's Traditionis Custodes like dictators?

The bishop of Little Rock, Ark, which covers the entire state has already shut-down the three indult Masses in the state, leaving only two FSSP chapels in the state, which are 200 miles apart, that will be allowed to continue celebrating the TLM.
