It’s great to see a phrase you have popularized for so long that people now use it rather commonly.
It’s even better when that phrase is used to describe our new Pope Leo XIV.
Also of note in that screen shot
Frankly, he could also have said cassock with surplice and stole.

I am *very* heartened in what I have learned of our good Pope Leo’s background and his history of service and faithfulness to the Church. He seems prepared to lead *all* of us – regardless of the Rite of the Church or Form of the Mass we prefer. And he appears to have hit the ground running.
In everything I have read of him, he has never once strayed from the teaching of the Church nor put his own “spin” on it. He is simply faithful, hard-working, and has lived his life in service to the Church and to Catholics and non-Catholics, with no regard to his personal comfort or ambition. And he does so with personal dignity and joy, as befits a Servant of the Servants of God.
I have great confidence in Pope Leo. And I have no hesitation in following his spiritual guidance and leadership. As an American Catholic Third Order Franciscan, I have no hesitation in saying I am proud of him, and grateful to God for sending him to lead us.
God bless and protect our good Pope Leo, and all here!
From yesterday’s visit to St. Paul Outside the Walls
“Saint Paul starts by saying that he received from God the grace of his vocation (cf. Rom 1:5). He acknowledges, in other words, that his encounter with Christ and his own ministry were the fruit of God’s prior love, which called him to a new life while he was still far from the Gospel and persecuting the Church. Saint Augustine, who was also a convert, spoke of the same experience in these words: “How can we choose, unless we have first been chosen? We cannot love, unless someone has loved us first” (Serm. 34, 2). At the root of every vocation, God is present, in his mercy and his goodness, as generous as that of a mother (cf. Is 66:11-13) who nourishes her child with her own body for as long as the child is unable to feed itself (cf. SAINT AUGUSTINE, Enn. in Ps. 130, 9).
In the same passage, Paul also speaks of “the obedience of faith” (Rom 1:5), and here too he shares his own experience. When the Lord appeared to him on the road to Damascus (cf. Acts 9:1-30), he did not take away his freedom, but gave him the opportunity to make a decision, to choose an obedience that would prove costly and entail interior and exterior struggles, which Paul proved willing to face. Salvation does not come about by magic, but by a mysterious interplay of grace and faith, of God’s prevenient love and of our trusting and free acceptance (cf. 2 Tim 1:12).”
That’s not just very smart. That’s masterful.
Pope Leo uses a Latin a lot but I do not know how much Pope Francis also used Latin. If anyone would could say how the two compare in that regard I would be interested to know. Also, it is evident that Pope Leo is used to using his Latin. Is that unusual for a bishop his age?
The Pontifical Institute of Sacred Music has a video series called “Sing with the Pope.” It seems to be an initiative inspired by Pope Leo’s use of Latin, although I am not sure of that. It is for the new Mass (one of the videos is how the people are to sing the Pater Noster).
Based on the few tea leaves that I’ve tried to read my guess as to where Leo on liturgy will be is this: His focus will be on reverent celebration of the new Mass, and as to Traditionis Custodes he will either leave it in place but replace Cardinal Roche with someone who will call off the dogs or will amend it to loosen it in some fashion so as to put everything in the control of the bishops.
The whole article captured in the screen shot was a very interesting and helpful and hopeful read. I immediately recognized the use of Fr. Z’s Say the Black Do the Red phrasing. :)
Fr Z I hope you don’t mind if I post the link to it.

I am happy to see a new Pope.
My Dream. Pope calls all the Bishops to Rome and Consecrates Russia to the Immaculate Heart of Mary, as Our Lady asked. Pope then releases the real Third Secret. One paragraph having to do with a Dogma of the Church being suppressed. That would be the Dogma of No Salvation Outside of the Catholic Church.
Then there will be a time of peace.
One can hope dream and pray!

Pope calls all the Bishops to Rome and Consecrates Russia to the Immaculate Heart of Mary, as Our Lady asked.
That has been done. Except for physical presence in Rome which was not aked.
Note also that the prophecy carefully leaves out any upper limit on the time between the consecration and the peace. It may be in 1500 years from now from all the words literally say.
That would be the Dogma of No Salvation Outside of the Catholic Church. That was never suppressed – in its true, Catholic sense as expressed (without difference in content) by Pope the Bl. Pius IX., the II Vatican Council, and even Fr Rahner SJ, however off the mark he may have been on other topics.
(Fr Feeney’s interpretation was, at the very least materially, heretical, and only the deplorable post-Conciliar leniency led to his not abjuring..)
donato2,
I just became aware of the Pontificio Instituto di Musica Sacra YouTube channel and its “Let’s Sing with the Pope” series the other day – and checking now see the latest – fifth – installment earlier today is Regina Coeli. For a long time my main experience of the Mass was a reverent Latin Novus Ordo – where I noted young children easily learning the Ordinarium, Credo, Pater Noster, and so on by heart with the aid of the chant. Now I sing in a schola using the 1961 Liber Usualis. That series looks like an analogously good start – or reinforcement – for people of all ages with or without live Latin Mass opportunities.
Wake up. Smell the coffee. Leo the Limp is Francis 2.0.
And no thank you we won’t shut up at clericalist command.
[Well… as of now, you are going to shut up here!]
