Anyway, if/when it happens it will a small but significant sign that things are finally moving in the right direction. We’ve been waiting for so long for something substantive, instead of just hints and suggestions.

When the Pope was elected everybody was so confident that things were going to happen. Then we got Levada (whatever happened to him anyway, you don’t hear much from the CDF these days) and apparent delays in accepting resignations (McCarrick, Sodano, etc.). But things seem to be moving now, Deo gratias. The curia looks better with Bertone, it’s sad to see Hoyos leaving, but we can hope his replacement is good. Arinze has been saying good things. Let us pray this is the start of a string of victories, not for us as trads, but for the Church as the Bride of Christ. There’s not that much hard information, but things just seem like they’re getting better. Maybe that Springtime is just around the corner as we head into the new Church year.

Mater Ecclesiae (some change is good), ora pro nobis!
