On July 7, 2007 Pope Benedict XVI published a Apostolic Letter under the title Summorum Pontificum, by which the Holy Father allows for and promotes a wider usage of the liturgical books in force in 1962. An unofficial translation of the Apostolic Letter is printed here for the convenience of our readers. A letter from Pope Benedict XVI which accompanied the Apostolic Letter follows the text, as does a BCL summary entitled Fifteen Questions on Summorum Pontificum.Link here(PDF).
The original Latin text of the Apostolic Letter may be found on the BCL website at:
