What Does The Prayer Really Say?
W D T P R S

In Avvenire the official newspaper of the Italian Bishops Conference, today, H.E. Tarcisio Card. Bertone has an interview.  He spoke mainly about the Pope’s latest trip to Brasil and the flap about the "excommunication" regarding pro-abortion politicians in Mexico.  Biretta tip to SP: o{]:¬)

At the very end, the Cardinal Secretary of State said (my translation):

And the long-anticipated Motu Proprio which would derestrict the use of the so-called Missale of St. Pius V, at what point is it?

I believe we won’t have to wait much longer to see it published.  The Pope is personally interested that this happen.  He will explain it in his accompanying letter, hoping for a serene reception.  

1) It is done.
2) It is going to happen.
3) The Pope is preparing, or has prepared a letter to come along with the Motu Proprio.
4) It is going to happen despite the knowledge that there will be resistence.

In today’s PODCAzT I retrace my steps a few days to a powerful selection in the Office of Readings from Book 10 of Augustine’s Confessions.  Since it is Trinity Sunday I speak about our Catholic faith in a Triune God.  Also, it is time to leave Rome for a while.
