Msgr. Perl of the Ecclesia Dei Commission discusses upcoming document on Summorum Pontificum

From the Una Voce Arkansas Ozarks Regional Newsletter:

Msgr. Perl of the Ecclesia Dei Commission on an Upcoming Document (from the Italian Papal news website Petrus):

"It is true, we are writing a document-instruction on the correct interpretation of the Motu Proprio Summorum Pontificum which has liberalized the Mass according to the liturgical books of Saint Pius V, as modified by Blessed John XXIII."

Thus says Monsignor Camille Perl, Secretary of the Pontifical Commission Ecclesia Dei, in an exclusive interview to Petrus, who adds:

"Though not a Congregation, we have been granted the faculty to prepare this note for the definition of some aspects of the Papal Motu Proprio as, for example, that of the stable group. We will thus clarify what is understood as stable group, how many people should precisely ask their Parish Priest to celebrate in the pre-Conciliar rite."

Monsignor Perl, the instruction is due to the several objections raised by Bishops and Priests opposed to the new rules of access to the Mass in Tridentine Rite?

"The situation is under the eyes of all. Regardless of that, after the Pope's Motu Proprio, it was legitimate to expect contrasting reactions. Some have expressed enthusiasm, some have not. Nevertheless, it is enough to recall that the Motu Proprio did not come down from heaven, but is the result of a long path."

This should be interesting - while the motu proprio was quite clear, it's evident that some have difficulty understanding things which are unambiguous or not unintelligible...

And we are also informed of "An Extraordinary Event in Little Rock"

At a clergy continuing education event on October 16-18, fifty-seven priests and deacons learned more about Summorum Pontificum.

Held at the St. John Center in Little Rock, the group heard Father Laurent Demets, FSSP, current chaplain for the St. John the Baptist Latin Mass Community in North Little Rock, Cherokee Village, and Mountain Home, and former chaplain Father Joseph Portzer, FSSP, lead a program in which the Motu Proprio and its implications were covered in some depth....

Wonderful news!
