“Leo has CANCELLED the Francis/Roche plan to end exemptions from” Traditionis custodes

From Damian Thompson @holysmoke:

Congratulations to @PillarCatholic for clarifying the encouraging reports about the TLM. Although TC remains on the books, Leo has CANCELLED the Francis/Roche plan to end exemptions from it. 

“Some dioceses were granted initial dispensations from the norms of Traditionis custodes for a two-year transition period, but under Pope Francis it was widely understood that no further extensions would be granted.

However, since Leo became pope in May, the Dicastery for Divine Worship has begun extending such dispensations and entertaining new ones, prompting speculation that the new pope may be open to easing or reversing the requirements created by his predecessor.

One source close to the Bishops’ Conference of England and Wales said it appears from the nuncio’s comments that the pope wants the door to the celebration of the old liturgy to be left open.”
