Nil desperandum

Disappointment is being expressed over the fact that the Synod's message may not include any reference to the Old Mass. Needlessly. I never expected it would. That would be too dramatic a place, and in fact an inappropriate place, to do what needs to be done, which is simply to give full parity of esteem to the Mass of Blessed John. What we need is a short and discrete letter from the Congregation for Divine Worship, or even from Ecclesia Dei. Then just let us get on with it! No drama, no fuss, just truth!
