Pope Benedict XVI's post-Synodal Apostolic Exhortation on the Eucharist, Sacramentum Caritatis, is scheduled for publication tomorrow. This could be a significant teaching moment in his pontificate.
In other news, there's this: "Pope ignores protests to restore Latin mass" (The Australian, March 12, 2007). Little here is new, even if it is promising: the Rome newspaper La Repubblica reports that Catholic publishers in Rome are preparing new editions of the Latin missal and have sent proofs to Vatican authorities for approval.
Msgr. Ignacio Barreiro, Rome-based consultant to Una Voce America, confirmed that his Vatican sources have said the long awaited and much-rumored motu proprio easing restrictions on the Traditional Roman rite of Mass should be issued by Easter.
Of course, when it comes to the Vatican and dates, one mustn't be too credulous: if the date is not published on the Vatican's official Bollettino, there's no guarantee. Pray.
