Motu Proprio goes into effect ... in about 20 minutes.

CWNews reports:

Summorum Pontificum, the motu proprio with which Pope Benedict XVI encouraged wide use of the Roman Missal of 1962, will take effect on Friday, September 14.

The Pope's initiative-- which was made public on July 7 after months of intense speculation-- calls upon pastors to "willingly accept" requests from the faithful for access to the pre-conciliar liturgy. Pope Benedict explained that his motu proprio was an effort to promote "interior reconciliation in the heart of the Church."
