[Mrs. Don-o]

I do not aggregate insider-baseball information on Chancery and Curial politics, but it has been posted (here at FR I think) that the Pope seemingly intends to corral all of the Traditional Rite Catholics into one ecclesiastic association or prelature as Step One in a Two-Step plan to
(1) get them separate from their respective Dioceses and (2) then clobber them.

Ah. Here.

They want to remove the individual right of priests to say the TLM so that we can only get the mass from their approved sources. A few years back when it seemed that the Vatican was close to reconciling with the SSPX, there was a rumor going around that if it happened, that all Traditional Mass communities would be rolled into the SSPX auspices, so that the SSPX would be the only place to get the traditional mass. The SSPX was intended to be the Honey Pot, the place to gather all the recalcitrant under one roof, where they lie in wait for the final blow. The SSPX did not fall for it, but I believe the plan remains the same.

I believe they intend to do away with Summorum Pontificum and its individual right of priests to say the mass and force all traditional Catholic into one or a few approved sources, perhaps the FSSP and the ICKSP or some juiced up Ecclesia Dei commission, if they can't close the deal on the SSPX.

Then, BOOM!

Actuating Schism: the Honey Pot

[Mariner]

My parish, St. Stephen of Sacramento, is part of the FSSP.

Classic Latin Mass, Choir and all.

I guess this is one of the orders Pope intends as the “honey pot”? It will most certainly engender great anger should he close it down.

Most members would likely never return to another mass anywhere, ever.
