People are still on the Motu Proprio watch, with rumors predicting tomorrow or May 5th.   However, this is completely in the Pope Benedict’s hands and at his discretion.

One caution:  Be careful of articles, some of which we’re seeing already, trying to second-guess the pope over whether such a decision will be good for this or that group–ie. the Jews, the Evangelical Protestants, ecumenism, and so on. These are merely thinly veiled attempts to derail the release or politicize its appearance negatively. Expect the press to go ballistic when they believe the release is imminent.

Ask for God’s Mercy, which is infinite.  He longs for nothing more than to give each and every one of us his mercy.

There was a meeting of all the curia heads Saturday morning in Rome, 10AM their time.  The meeting was unannounced beforehand.  I don’t think Pope Benedict called it to wish himself “happy birthday.”   Something major is about ready to happen in the next week or two, I think.

HAPPY EASTER!
