Pope will broaden use of Latin Mass  

Vatican, Oct. 11 (CWNews.com) - Pope Benedict XVI (bio
- news) is preparing to release a motu proprio
extending permission for priests to celebrate the
traditional Latin Mass, Vatican sources have
confirmed. 

The new papal document-- for which a publication date
has not yet been set-- would give all priests
permission to celebrate the Mass of St. Pius V. This
permission, a "universal indult," would replace the
existing indult that dates back to 1988, when Ecclesia
Dei authorized use of the Tridentine rite under more
restricted conditions, requiring the permission of the
local bishop. 

Pope Benedict has long favored moves to accommodate
traditionalist Catholics, and to integrate the
Tridentine rite into the regular liturgical life of
the Church. The motu proprio that he has prepared--
which, according to informed sources, is now in final
form-- addresses other liturgical questions as well as
the issue of the traditional Mass.
