Secretary of State Cardinal Bertone, in the last question of the interview granted to this Sunday's issue of the semi-official daily of the Italian Episcopal Conference (CEI), Avvenire:
[Avvenire:] Your Eminence, please allow me two other questions. Is the announced letter of the Pope to the Chinese Catholics ready?
The text of the letter has been definitively approved by the Holy Father and now the various translations and technical aspects of its publication are being prepared.
[Avvenire:] And the equally expected motu proprio which would liberalize the use the the Missal said of Saint Pius V, at what stage is it?
I believe one will not wait long to see it published. The Pope is personally interested that this should take place. He will explain it in his accompanying letter, expecting a serene reception.
