Pope Leo asks French bishops for ‘generous inclusion’ of TLM - Stone - 03-27-2026

One can't help but wonder if this encouragement for the TLM for 'diversity's' sake, doesn't also make it appear that the upcoming SSPX consecrations aren't a legitimate necessity. Same story really since Ecclesia Dei, where if the Latin and the incense and the bells are craved, a watered down indult version is provided by the Vatican II church. All the while, very liberal-progressive-modernist clergy are being actively promoted and placed in important positions throughout the Conciliar church by this same pope. Notice this 'ask' is an encouragement with words but nothing actionable is being done by the pope. But Perhaps this  maneuver is intended to promote the idea that Pope Leo XIV is sympathetic to tradition while his other, more concrete actions, show the contrary. - The Catacombs

In a message to the French bishops’ conference, Pope Leo XIV called for “concrete solutions” to permit the “generous inclusion” of Catholics attached to the Traditional Latin Mass.

A March 18 letter sent by Vatican Secretary of State Cardinal Pietro Parolin on behalf of Pope Leo encourages the French bishops’ conference to embrace liturgical diversity and find ways to include “those sincerely attached to the Vetus Ordo.”

It has largely been expected that Pope Leo would eventually lift restrictions on the celebration of the preconciliar liturgy, which were imposed by Pope Francis in 2021. Parolin’s letter is a clear indication that Pope Leo wishes local bishops to move quickly to that end.

The letter says that the pope is “particularly attentive” to the bishops’ discussion on the liturgy, “in the context of the growth of communities bound to the Vetus Ordo.”

“It is troubling that a painful wound concerning the celebration of Mass, the very sacrament of unity, continues to open in the Church,” the letter says.

To heal this wound, it continues, a “new perspective” is needed. The letter says a fresh perspective, “with a greater understanding of each other’s sensitivities, is certainly necessary; a perspective that can allow brothers, enriched by their diversity, to welcome one another in charity and the unity of faith.”

“May the Holy Spirit suggest to you concrete solutions that will allow for the generous inclusion of those sincerely attached to the Vetus Ordo, in accordance with the guidelines established by the Second Vatican Council regarding the Liturgy,” the letter concludes.
