My dear Dr Shaw,


The report of an interesting study week on the ‘extraordinary form’ of the Roman Rite, organised by the Latin Mass Society (12-16th April 2010) for the formation of priests in this most venerable rite of the Roman Church, has come to the notice of this Pontifical Commission.


While thanking you for the communication, I congratulate the organisers most heartily for such an opportune and necessary initiative, and I urge you to persevere in this path, always in full communion with the Apostolic See and in humble obedience to the Supreme Pontiff.


I take this opportunity to extend to you my sincere good wishes, invoking the blessing of the holy Apostles Peter and Paul on your apostolate.


Mons. Guido Pozzo


Secretary
