The ability "to regulate its eventual celebration" sounds like all the "discretion" some would require.<BR/><BR/>As to the "needs of the community," what defines that? Most applications of the Indult of which I am aware serve people who cross various parish boundaries for a Mass that is added to a parish's schedule. So the pastor ends up extending his pastoral care beyond his normal reach. To what extent is that practical in a region where there are not enough priests as it is, and the ones who are there can only say three Masses on a Sunday?<BR/><BR/>Whatever happens, I wouldn't look for it to be overnight.David L Alexanderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13871706129906941567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12897315.post-1166052136937543272006-12-13T17:22:00.000-06:002006-12-13T17:22:00.000-06:00Something tells me that the Latin Mass will only b...Something tells me that the Latin Mass will only bring in the uneasy Lefebvrists, while the harder core holds out for a recinding of anything connected to Vat II. For some, just knowing that Roger Mahony is out there, somewhere, celebrating the Novus Ordo with kool-ade jugs, will be enough to maintain their resistance.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
