Restructering of Ecclesia Dei

    • A new Motu Proprio is signed and only awaiting publication.  Below is a Google translation of a post by Tosatti from his Blog. This is a link to the original article in Italian:

    Deletion of the Ecclesia Dei Commission: new information
     From Marco Tosatti's blog:
     
     ECCLESIA DEI: THE OWN MOTU IS READY. BECOME AN OFFICE TO "FAITH".

    The Motu Proprio which sets the end of Ecclesia Dei as an independent Commission, and its integration as an Office in the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith is ready, signed by the Pontiff, and should have been published last Thursday. We ignore the reasons why the docuмent has not yet been published.
     
     It is a rather short legal text, in which it is said that since the pastoral emergency linked to the celebration of the Vetus Ordo, and which led to the creation of the Ecclesia Dei Commission thirty years ago, has come to an end, and as a result even the Commission in its current form no longer has any reason to exist.
     
     We recall that the Motu Proprio of John Paul II, dated 2 July 1988, was born in reaction to the consecration of four bishops by Msgr. Marcel Lefebvre. Some of his powers and functions were modified by Benedict XVI in 2009. The docuмent of John Paul II gave the Commission the right to "grant to anyone who asks for it the use of the Roman Missal according to the typical edition in force in 1962, and this according to the rules already proposed by the commission of cardinals "established for this purpose" in December 1986 after having informed the diocesan bishop".
     
     The Commission was the point of arrival of those who appealed to it to obtain a revision of the denials opposed by the bishops at the celebration of the Mass according to the Vetus Ordo.
     
     Moreover, following the motu proprio Summorum Pontificuм of Pope Benedict XVI (2007), the commission supervises the application of the Motu Proprio, studies the possible updates of which liturgical texts of 1962 come to need: for example the presence of new saints in the calendar. Moreover, the Commission was the last instance for the faithful who asked for the celebration of Mass according to the extraordinary form, and they did not have a positive answer either from their parish priest or from their bishop.
     
     It is now necessary to see how many, and which of these powers, can continue to be carried out by what will be the new "Office" Ecclesia Dei within the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith; and whose last referent, evidently, will no longer be the responsible secretary, as before, but the prefect at the head of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith.
     
     The initial statement, according to which the pastoral emergency would have ended, gives rise to some doubts rather than legitimate. At the moment during the Assembly of the Italian Episcopal Conference, voices of bishops and specialists are raised to deny legal validity to the Motu Proprio "Summorum Pontificuм" of Benedict XVI, and at the moment when there are bishops who are hindering directly or subtly the celebration of Mass according to the Vetus Ordo, to say that there is no pastoral emergency appears perhaps a bit risky.

    • I think it likely that PF will avoid any explicit abrogation of SP, which might arouse opposition he prefers not have to have distracting him from covering up for his sodomite friends, rather like always does, any change to ED will be towards weakening those he sees as his foes. The Franciscan of the Immaculate were the biggest kill, and this or that small order, and most recently effectively ending the right of a bishop to erect a diocesan religious body of common life. Still I see it as a sort of flailing. The pathetic 'New Order of Mass' is dying. No man wants to pose as a emasculated priest of this community supper. A neutral seeming re-organisation will suit until PF can visit his full hatred on the Mass.
