Schadenfreude is not allowed. Let us pray for Father Volpi. And let us pray that the malicious and unlawful prohibition of the Franciscan Friars of the Immaculate to offer the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass (and Divine Office) according to the traditional rite be completely rescinded. (There is much more to restore as well.)
From Roberto de Mattei via Francesca Romana/Rorate Caeli:
Sic transit gloria mundi. For the Franciscans of the Immaculate, the Institute founded by Father Stefano Maria Manelli, ( externally commissioned on 11th July 2013) the “era of Volpi” , which will certainly be remembered as one of the saddest in the history of this religious order, is over. Father Fidenzio Volpi, assigned by the Congregation for Religious as Apostolic Commissioner to liquidate Father Manelli’s order, is in fact in a Roman clinic, after suffering a cerebral ischemia, followed by a hemiparesis, which has seriously compromised his health, forcing him to renounce, irrevocably, his appointment as Commissioner.
