RORATE CÆLI: “What if Rome no longer wants to be Roman?”

Dec 28, 2021 — Pope Francis has issued a decree, a motu proprio, to make it more ... Obviously, an element of personal revenge came into play here:
[A]n element of personal revenge came into play here.
Revenge for what?
Francis
has not forgiven Benedict for influencing the outcome of the Amazon
Synod with his book on the priesthood in early 2020 and for spoiling the
desired abolition of compulsory celibacy. That made Francis very angry.
Now he has retaliated by taking action against the Old Mass, that is,
the liturgy that was a matter close to Benedict’s heart and which he had
emphatically rehabilitated.
