Motu Mania

Hmmmn. Only a few more days to go before the next "deadline" passes.

Watching for the release of the Motu Proprio reminds me of some of the people who used to pray the rosary at the Padre Pio bookshop in London: they were absolutely sure that the world was going to end in 1998. It was in Scripture. And in the messages from Medjugore. Or somewhere. 1998 came. No sign of the end of time... so then it became the year 2000...

They were lovely people, and very devout and prayerful. I did suspect that they were a trifle unstable... perhaps just a tad...

Anyway, I digress. Amy Wellborn has put up the following summary of all the gossip. One person has apparently been told "May" ! Others still hold out for Maundy Thursday...

...I think you pays your money and takes your choice on this one. In the meantime, for anyone who is completely in the dark as to what the heck this Motu Proprio thing actually is, Amy has prepared a helpful "Tip Sheet" for her fellow journalists.
