Our new bishop is vewwy vewwy qwiet about this so far, so a Franciscan nudge in the ribs might go a long way.

It was the Franciscans who spread the Roman-use of the Latin rite in the first place, before Pope St. Pius V made it universal after the Council of Trent. It would be completely appropriate for the various Franciscan communities to take part in spreading the "extraordinary use," though I would guess it's only going to be communities like Fr. maximilian mary's.

Ave Maria!

The whole vocation of St. Francis, and thus the entire Franciscan Order, is this: “Francis, go and rebuild My Church which as you see is falling into ruin.” Those words were spoken to our Seraphic Father from the San Damiano Cross. Rebuilding the Church has to start with fidelity and love at the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. Certainly Our Lady would have it no other way! Pray for us (the Franciscans of the Immaculate) that we will be faithful to our mission in the Church.

V. Introíbo ad altáre Dei.
R. Ad Deum qui lætíficat juventútem meam.
V. Adjutórium nostrum in nómine Dómini.
R. Qui fecit cælum et terram.
