This makes me smile. It also clarifies the nature of the excommunications for the SSPX.

I’m at work right now. I was treated to a great hand bell choir concert as a result. My final (I think…) band concert of college is tomorrow, and I’m uber sad about that. I really do love band, though my behavior (i.e. practicing and such,) probably says the exact opposite. =-( I want to play at least on the intermission piece at Commencement, as well as at the Baccalaureate Mass, where I’ll also be singing.

Job hunt is on the bullet train to Nowheresville. St. Joseph, ora pro nobis…

I trust CWNews pretty solidly, for what that’s worth.

Now if only I thought any priest around here would offer the TLM once permission is granted…and, someone please correct me if I’m wrong, I’ve never heard of Cardnal George being strict with his permissions to say the TLM in the first place.  My understanding is that there’s just little interest among the priest and the laity; those who want it pretty much have it.  And I’ll still sit through the Novus Ordo in my parish so long as the words of consecration remain valid, untill/unless a TLM becomes avalible near my house. (My parents keep a pretty short leash on where I can take the car, barring weddings, pretty much.)

So yeah, blog rumors are nice, but it’s stories from sites like this that really raise my hopes and expectations. This should also give us cause to pray that this can lead to some kind of healing and reconcilliation for those schismatics or otherwise canonnically irregular, often over this Mass, to be brought back into full communion with the Vatican.
Pope Sts. Pius V and Pius X, pray for the reconcilliation of the orgranizations that bear your names.

I’m off to a wedding tomorrow for two friends of mine. It’s a few states over (see above comments on car,) and I’d appreciate any prayers for safe travel that anyone has to throw at me. This will be the longest I’ve ever driven alone, and the farthest I’ll be from home by myself. Needless to say, a bit daunting. =-S
