21For to me, to live is Christ: and to die is gain. 22And if to live in the flesh: this is to me the fruit of labour. And what I shall choose I know not. 23But I am straitened between two: having a desire to be dissolved and to be with Christ, a thing by far the better. 24But to abide still in the flesh is needful for you. 25And having this confidence, I know that I shall abide and continue with you all, for your furtherance and joy of faith: 26That your rejoicing may abound in Christ Jesus for me, by my coming to you again.

27Only let your conversation be worthy of the gospel of Christ: that, whether I come and see you, or, being absent, may hear of you, that you stand fast in one spirit, with one mind labouring together for the faith of the gospel. 28And in nothing be ye terrified by the adversaries: which to them is a cause of perdition, but to you of salvation, and this from God. 29For unto you it is given for Christ, not only to believe in him, but also to suffer for him: 30Having the same conflict as that which you have seen in me and now have heard of me.

Well, this is weird. Good, but weird.

As reported over at Rorate Caeli here, and here, Bergoglio met with the superiors of the FSSP and confirmed the use of the “1962” books for Mass, the sacraments and the Breviary for the FSSP. The communique of the Fraternity even states that Bergoglio stated that Traditiones Custodes does not apply to the FSSP, as the use of the traditional books is part of their foundational documents.

Of course, the usual advisals apply to this story: only a Pope can issue a motu proprio binding the universal Church. No pope can abrogate the traditional Mass and no permission from Pope or Bishop is needed to celebrate that Mass.

My question is why? Why did Bergoglio do this? My initial take is he must be feeling the heat from lots of different quarters, and has decided to go incrementally, contenting himself for the time being by merely cancelling 99% of all Diocesan Latin Masses and by bringing heat to the Ecclesia Dei communities in the more strident Francisdioceses. Kill the revival of the Mass as much as he can without buying a fight with those who have indicated they will resist him. Wait until they are completely isolated.

Too cynical? Too facile? I am open to other interpretations. But good news is good news, I must admit, even if it goes to further give credence to the false base premise that this man has the authority to do any of what has transpired.

“YOU ARE THE ONES WHO ARE HAPPY; YOU WHO REMAIN WITHIN THE CHURCH BY YOUR FAITH, WHO HOLD FIRMLY TO THE FOUNDATIONS OF THE FAITH WHICH HAS COME DOWN TO YOU FROM APOSTOLIC TRADITION. AND IF AN EXECRABLE JEALOUSY HAS TRIED TO SHAKE IT ON A NUMBER OF OCCASIONS, IT HAS NOT SUCCEEDED. THEY ARE THE ONES WHO HAVE BROKEN AWAY FROM IT IN THE PRESENT CRISIS. NO ONE, EVER, WILL PREVAIL AGAINST YOUR FAITH, BELOVED BROTHERS. AND WE BELIEVE THAT GOD WILL GIVE US OUR CHURCHES BACK SOME DAY.”
