Published was also letter of explanation to the bishops – this letter is available in German, English, French, Italian, Portuguese, Spanish.
What earlier generations held as sacred, remains sacred and great for us too, and it cannot be all of a sudden entirely forbidden or even considered harmful. It behooves all of us to preserve the riches which have developed in the Church’s faith and prayer, and to give them their proper place.
It will come into effect on September 14, 2007, Feast of the Exaltation of the Cross.
