I searched the web and found Rorate Caeli has a blog post with what they (with honesty) describe as "a rumor" from what they describe as credible sources, but the substance of the blog post is that people should offer prayer, sacrifice, and penance (I have no objection to prayer, sacrifice and penance, which I believe to be powerful and useful, but I would add that the enemy, which is the devil and not any human being, always desires us to be anxious about the future and always desires to destroy our peace and our trust in God and is frequently able to do this through rumors and contagious emotions. So I would add in particular, a peaceful resignation in advance to God's will whatever it may be *without* imagining in any way what the possibilities are; just a blank check made out to God.)
Yeah it was the Rorate Caeli post as Bridget said. They seem to be taking this as a real threat. They haven't been 100% accurate in the past about all of the TLM restrictions but they were posting pretty accurately about TC before it actually happened, so they clearly have some sources in Rome. It's still a rumor at this point but I find it believable, mainly because of Pope Francis' health being a big question lately and I can see those interested in stamping out the TLM trying to move quickly to get it done.
Rorate updated this morning on X that he was reporting on a document that was in draft by a person or persons who then intended to get the HF to sign it. That's pretty far from a sure thing.
"The recent news that the TLM may be banned entirely"
Oh no, what now?
