Well, he is a disciple of the great Cardinal Siri from Genoa, isn’t he. A good sign indeed!
BTW: Fr. Z. could some time tell some old jokes and stories about the Cardinal, he must know many of them?
Father,
I feel a thread drift coming on…
If you haven’t already noticed, over at Father Finnigan’s there are pics posted of his recent Roman Holiday. There’s a very interesting one of some priest in shades http://bp2.blogger.com/_T3lg6p_ATmc/Rj9nZLu50YI/AAAAAAAAA8M/tBRO_4Fq8-M/s1600-h/frzanon.jpg
We know the taste in wine. Now tell us something important. What’s the brew?

Jon, I thought that thread drift was allowed only if you managed to bring in some rumor about the Motu Proprio. For example, something like, “Father, is it true that you have given up red wine for beer until the MP comes out?†Or, “Father, is it true that the beer in the photo is called Malt-u Proprio?†Or, “Father, is it true that Bishop Fellay believes that priests in Rome wearing sunglasses indicates a delay in the issue of the Motu Proprio?†That way, we can keep the blogosphere spinning for a few more days. In Christ,
Everybody’s a comedian!

Since we’re already drifting, may I interpose a motu-proprio-related question?
Father, when a motu proprio is issued, how hard is it for it to be reversed by a future pope? For example, if after the Holy Father dies Card. Mahony is elected the next pope (which God forbid), could he instantly undo it if he chose?
Mark: I don’t know the answer to your specific question but, more generally, it seems clear to me that — after a biblical 40 years in the desert — the restoration of the Church is finally underway, whether or not a motu proprio actually appears, whoever is the next pope.
