Pope's letter to the bishops

Probably the biggest news since the lifting of the SSPX excommunications is the papal letter to the bishops that will be officially published tomorrow. I will post the letter here, without comment, as soon as I can.

There are a number of translations available on the web, but I will not post them or excerpts since the letter still remains under embargo by the Vatican. However, if you are interested, you can read one of these translations with Fr. Z's comments here: WDTPRS on Pope Benedict's papal letter.

This letter is a call to keep praying for the Holy Father, and to pray for the full and complete restoration of the Traditional Latin Mass and traditional Catholicism. This letter expresses well the authority of the Holy Father's office and his fecund thinking, but also his anguish over the unjust and irresponsible reaction of fellow Catholics (leftists) to the lifting of the excommunications. It also speaks forcefully to the SSPX bishops, priests and laity. There's nothing easy about the current state of the Church Militant. We are called to prayer, pennance and acts of heroic sacrfice, now more than ever. Only the restoration of our Catholic culture and heritage, and a hermenutic of renewl and continuity in regards to the Second Vatican Council will strengthen the Church and bring about the salavation of souls. Only that will silence the wolves from within, those like Hans Kung that yap and nip at the Holy Father's heals.

Update (6:50 am 3/12): There's nothing on the Vatican website or blogosphere yet. I'll have to wait until after work.
