[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]More American narcissism. There is slight potential for schism but the poles of the spectrum are in Germany and Africa. Highly unlikely that American traditionalists will be the vanguard of a schism, especially with the FSSP already in place.

If Pope Leo relaxes TC it placates all but the most vocal traditionalists in America. [/quote]

My apologies. Anybody conversing on this topic would understand those, but I get that people may be new to this topic.  And my autocorrect got me.

SSPX (not FSSP), Society of St Pius X is a Catholic order in schism with Rome. The curious part is that Rome does not completely ban Catholics from taking communion from SSPX priests. SSPX is a Traditional Latin Mass that is a hotbed of conservatism in the USA, though mostly insular.  Reconciliation with Rome has long been rumored, but that is a painstakingly slow process.

Tradiciones Custodes (TC) is a papal encyclical from late in the papacy of Pope Francis that was a serious crackdown on the TLM.  It pushed (particularly French and American) conservative Catholics that attend the TLM at ordinary dioceses/parishes (not SSPX) further into the margins. It was also a reversal of Pope Benedict’s attempts to bring peace to the liturgy wars.  I think progressives in the Church (and Banon) misread TLMers. I don’t think TLMers want schism. SSPX parishes pray for the Pope and seek to be in communion with Rome.

My guess is Pope Leo will issue some encyclical that will affirm TC, but also have a backdoor carve out for TLMers. Many of the bishops appointed by Pope Francis had a hostility to the TLM, so it’ll take decades for Pope Leo’s directive to work through the system.

On the SSPX, who knows, but both sides want reconciliation.  So it’ll eventually get done. [/quote]
