AN EXCELLENT COMMENTARY ON THE MOTU PROPRIO

...comes from Joe Cullen in the National Catholic Register (the better NCR)

Excerpts:
While not all of his people need or want the old Mass, there is a significant constituency for whom the lack of this familiar and time-honored form of worship has been a hardship, and Pope Benedict’s action is that of a genuine pastor.

“It will rise again, ... the Mass will rise again … because it is the sun, and God thus established it for our life and comfort.” When it happens, he said, our eyes will be found “guilty of not having esteemed it worthily before the eclipse; our hearts guilty for not having loved it enough.”

Peace,
BMP
