Hmmm.....motu-von Hildebrand

H/T to American Papist and PtB:AST for this tip.

As per AmP:
Pope Benedict, during a recent meeting with Alice von Hildebrand, told her that the Motu Proprio would be released in May. This from von Hildebrand. Bishop Bruskewitz agreed that May 5th sounded like a reasonable release date (as do many others) [slightly edited - AmP].


Just another bit of news in the world of motu-mania.

Hopefully this will be the date, I grow tired of "hey look it’s gonna be month X" and then nothing happens.

Although I probably won’t see the affects of it around here for a long time. I even asked the most conservative priest in the area I know if he would do a TLM if allowed and he stated, "no one wants that." Gee, I guess they don't want what they never experienced before, good call there..

Driving to Dayton or Cincinnati for the indult isn't that bad though.

There is one in Cincinnati at Sacred Heart off I-75 and we have one at the Cathedral Basillica in Covington, KY(about 8 minutes from downtown Cincinnati.) It will be interesting to see the bishop's response in the various cities and how many faithful request the indult.

I have never been to the one at the Cathedral.

The one at Sacred Heart Church is done by the FSSP. The priest actually does the one in Dayton first at 8:45 am and then drives down to Sacred Heart Church.

For some reason incense is not used at Sacred Heart Church among a few other things. Must be a low mass? And people seem to kneel when they are supposed to stand, but that is understandable.

Who offers the TLM at the Cathedral?

Fr. Fitzgerald, Fr. Hils and Fr. Berscheid ususally offer the Mass. I think they have a schedule that rotates.
