This is why Rome is not to be trusted. The Indult itself is a sham. It was a sham from the beginning--since no "indult" was ever necessary to celebrate a Mass that had never been officially abrogated. The freedom for any priest to say the "Mass for All Time" should have been guaranteed by this Pope long ago.

I understand the ideas that this author is talking about with the special blessing that is given to a priest's hands. However, what do we do when there will no longer be priests but maybe once a month to consecrate hosts?
Who will distribute them then in a Communion Service?
There are not enough priests to go around to have two priests at each Mass even in these days.
I don't see that have laymen and women distribute Communion is such an abomination compared to a lack of priests.
Aren't we looking at the wrong problem here?
