On July 7, 2007 Pope Benedict XVI released a papal document known as a Motu Proprio(of his own accord)titled "Summorum Pontificum" (in English, "...of the Supreme Pontiffs")which lifted any restrictions regarding the celebration of the Latin Tridentine Mass according to the Missal of 1962. A Motu Proprio is a letter personally written and signed by the Pope, which first states the reason inducing the Pope to act and then states the law or regulation made.
Recently, Vatican Secretary of State, Tarcisio Cardinal Bertone, presented the document with a letter explaining Pope Benedict's motivations for this publication to some 30 bishops from different countries at the Vatican palace. The letter emphasizes the unity of the Roman Rite, which from now on will have two forms, an “ordinary” and an “extraordinary” supposed to complement and inspire each other.
Here at the Leaflet Missal, we are committed to providing the items needed to aid the Holy Father in this request.
