"VATICAN CITY, July 1, 2025 — New evidence has come to light that exposes major cracks in the foundation of Traditionis Custodes, Pope Francis' 2021 decree that restricted the traditional Roman liturgy.

This journalist has obtained the Vatican's overall assessment of the consultation of bishops that was said to have "prompted" Pope Francis to revoke Summorum Pontificum, Benedict XVI's 2007 apostolic letter liberalizing the vetus ordo, more commonly known as the "Traditional Latin Mass" and sacraments.

The previously undisclosed text, which forms a crucial part of the official report by the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith on its 2020 consultation of bishops concerning Summorum Pontificum, reveals that "the majority of bishops who responded to the questionnaire stated that making legislative changes to Summorum Pontificum would cause more harm than good."

5. Report highlighted growth of vocations in Ex-Ecclesia Dei communities since Summorum Pontificum.

The CDF report highlighted the growth in vocations in former Ecclesia Dei communities since the promulgation of Summorum Pontificum but noted that some diocesan bishops are not entirely pleased by this. "Many young men," it said, "are choosing to enter the Ecclesia Dei institutes for their priestly or religious formation rather than diocesan seminaries, to the manifest regret of some bishops..."

What are Ecclesia Dei institutes?

Pope Francis did away with it. He was very anti-anything pre-Vatican II as far as the Traditional Latin Mass.

That coupled with the high birth rate with Trads is why the Christ hater went after the TLM.  The hatred of the TLM by the heretics is demonic, but there is also intense hatred among the Boomer Novus Ordo types because of their branded conscience.  They knew that their Church of Accompaniment was dying, and they sure as heck didn't want the Trads to reconquer. 

Just consider the crap conservative Novus Ordo priests face if they do something like install a communion rail or ban altar girls.

I went to a Saturday afternoon Confession a few weeks ago in a small town in SE Indiana. Small, chapel like Church, 100+ years old. Main altar and side altars. Prior to 1965, this area was 90% Catholic. Mass was getting underway. Other than one teenager, an organist, and some other guy I knew, everyone was 60+. It really is just a matter of time.

Do you think it makes them nervous, the idea that the Church will eventually become more traditional?

Yeah, I think so.

It makes them manifest.  Their eyes roll back in their head and they drop to the ground and slither around like snakes.
