- Pope Leo to open Augustinian General Chapter on September 1 - Vatican News
- Tradicat: I read about the latest assignment that Pope Leo XIV made last week. My reaction, as my youngest would say, is 'meh'. I don't really care about what he does with the rest of the Church. Why? It's simple, that is the status quo. I am watching for something that demonstrates a change in the status quo. Hence, I am waiting to see what happens with the SSPX.
- As mentioned before, the SSPX is the 'canary in the coal mine'. If the SSPX is allowed 'in' the Church in any official manner, then that is an alteration in the status quo.
