Yes it is confirmed from Catholic World News that the Motu Proprio will be out on July 7. The news came originally from German Catholic News Service kath.net. It stated that yesterday (June 27) Cardinal Tarcisio Bertone, the Vatican Secretary of State introduced the text at the Vatican during a meeting of a group of 30 bishops. According to the article, the Pope made a brief appearance at the meeting.
The document signed by Pope Benedict XVI is three pages long and comes with a letter of explanation which is about 4 pages long.
According to Paul Badde, Vatican correspondent for the German newspaper Die Welt, the letter emphasizes the unity of the Roman Rite, which from now on will have two forms, an "ordinary" and an extraordinary," which was meant to inspire each other. He also added that the ordinary form will still be the post-Vatican II Mass and the extraordinary the Tridentine Latin Mass according to the 1962 Rite.
Whatever the implications of the Motu Proprio let us continue to hope and pray that despite the negative connotations and dire consequences some people think about this document that we may still get some good out of it and that is the eventual restoration of the Traditional Sacraments.
