From Dominicanus

There is a good post from Dominicanus about the Indult rumours:

The puzzling silence from Rome on the question seems to me upon reflection to be entirely intelligible and in all our best interests. The numerous Indult parties would obviously interfere with the solemnity due to Holy Week. Too festive a spirit in the midst of Passiontide would not be decorous.

And all those sacristy fights - with young priests victoriously waving the latest decrees at the grey army before Mass - ought to take place at a less solemn time of the year.

Or maybe nothing is happening and prayer, penance and almsgiving are best after all.
