Thank God I saved my old St. Joseph's Missal after all these years! Nice to know it won't be just a nice old religious "collectable" -- but usable!

4-April-2007 -- Catholic World News Brief
1962 Missal Sales Rise as Motu Proprio Expected Soon
Rome, Apr. 4, 2007 (CWNews.com) - Italian media outlets are once again reporting that a papal document liberalizing the use of the Mass of St. Pius V could be released during the Easter season.
Reports of the imminent release of a motu proprio allowing all Catholic priests to use the Tridentine rite have been circulating in Rome for a full year. The rumors have intensified recently, however, and this week saw the Vatican Secretary of State confirm that the document is close to publication. Cardinal Tarcisio Bertone told the French publication Le Figaro that the Pope is prepared to take action soon-- although he did not give a date.
In expectation of the motu proprio, Catholic bookstores in Rome have begun selling copies of the 1962 Missal. Expecting brisk sales, publishing houses in Italy are reprinting the old Missal.
----------------------------------------
Problem for me is: The Springfield (MA) Diocese isn't the fastest moving diocese when it comes to meeting the needs of traditionalists. Oh, we're getting bells and smells, (but altar girls as well.) Can't complain too much on that -- after all, somebody's kid is interested enough to spare his or her time that might otherwise be wasted at the mall, unless of course, they're perusing their local chain bookstores for BI-LINGUAL MISSALS, i.e., the LATIN-ENGLISH kind.
They'll come in handy if a miracle does occur up in this neck of the woods, and enough parishioners in each parish seriously campaign for that Old Time Mass. Last edited on Wed Apr 11th, 2007 10:56 am by Steven Barrett

Since you posted this in "Recommended Resources" I thought I'd include "resources" to the 1962 missal:
GetFed
Amazon
Aquinas and More
