Could it be???

There is a rumour abroad that the Holy See is about to republish the Missal of 1962, possibly with the addition of some extra prefaces and a revised calendar. Wow! But is it true? I don't know. I find it difficult to believe. But I also found it difficult to believe that Pope Benedict would convoke a special meeting of the Curial bosses to discuss the issue of the traditional Mass and its devotees. However, that was true. And I found it even more difficult to believe that he would convoke a meeting of all the Cardinals to discuss the very same issue. But that, too, was true. So maybe, just maybe, this latest rumour is also true. It would certainly explain a recent heart failure.

A quote from the late Michael Davies: "In a discussion with Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger recently, I asked His Eminence for his assessment of the future of the 1962 Missal as an approved liturgical book. He assured me that it was completely secure. For this reason, and because of the publishing event you see here, it is certain that the use of the 1962 Missale Romanum will increase dramatically in years to come. The remarkable increase in young priests ordained with the Pope's approval to use this Missal gives great hope by itself."
