Pope Ignores Protests to Restore Latin Mass

The article is even better than the headline:

POPE Benedict XVI plans to bring back the celebration of mass in Latin, overriding a rare show of protest from senior cardinals.

With a papal decree said to be imminent, Catholic publishers in Rome are preparing new editions of the Latin missal.

They have sent proofs to Vatican authorities for approval, the Rome newspaper La Repubblica has reported.

Vatican sources said Benedict, who is fluent in Latin, is considering the publication of a papal motu proprio (literally, on his own initiative), which does not require the approval of church bodies.

This would enable Benedict to ignore opposition from several cardinals.

The Pope's proposal will be cheered by Lefebvre's traditionalist followers.

There is just so much laughable content in this article...First, we all know that the SSPXers are justing waiting for the release of the motu proprio, yes?

And I'm still trying to figure out what papal publication requires the approval of "church bodies"...?

What is interesting, if true, is the part about the approval of the new LAtin Missal proofs...hadn't heard about that before...
