Diane Montagna published a leaked summary of the responses of bishops who were queried about the TLM.
The kraken was released.
Today there was a presser for the publication of a new Mass formulary for a “Mass for the Care of Creation” which will be added to the Masses for Various Needs and Occasions in the Roman Missal (Novus Ordo, of course).
The Pillar says:
At a July 3 Vatican press conference, Archbishop Vittorio Francesco Viola, the secretary of the Dicastery for Divine Worship, was asked to comment on a document published July 1, which was reported to be an excerpt from the Vatican’s 2021 assessment of a global survey of bishops on the use of preconciliar liturgical rubrics.
When the question was raised, Matteo Bruni, the director of the Holy See press office, intervened, objecting that the press conference was dedicated to the presentation of the new formulary of the Mass for the Care of Creation, which will be added to the Masses for Various Needs and Occasions in the Roman Missal.
Bruni said subsequently that he wasn’t “confirming the authenticity of the texts that have been published.”
But he immediately added that “it is presumably part of one of the documents on which the decision [to publish Traditionis custodes] was based, and it’s a contribution to a very partial and incomplete reconstruction of the decision-making process.”
[…]
At the press conference, Bruni said: “The consultation that has been mentioned was supported by other documentation and other reserved reports, and subsequent internal consultations received by the Dicastery of the Doctrine of the Faith.”
[…]
Uh huh.

Wondering — well, hoping — that the leak was on instruction from or at least with permission of Leo. Would certainly make it easier to restore Summorum Pontificum, doncha think? Huge problem solved and frees up the Holy Father to deal with other Franciscan mischief, of which there is plenty.
I have an image of Leslie Nielson in front of an exploding fireworks factory saying, “Nothing to see here! Please disperse!”
These guys are so predictable.
Is there an informed practicing Roman Catholic adult who was not aware that we were, at they say, jerked around for a dozen years?
That had best be coming to a swift end.
The excuses have long run out.
Honeymoons don’t last forever.
Dry out that last paragraph and you can fertilize the lawn… The amount of Copium following this leak has been wild.
Ah… if you live by the world, you have to follow the rules of the world. If you live by the Word, then you have to follow the law of the Word.
Awkward press conference that… “now is not the time or place to ask questions about the liturgy… this is a press conference about…. erm…. liturgy.”
Some serious mental gymnastics going on by some in the Vatican currently, methinks.
Why are we not getting back the prayer days for Creation and crops that we are supposed to have?
“Shut up”, they explained…

Reporter: Were those other documents Taurina cacata too?
