Motu Proprio Watch Continues
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.
