There is an interesting conference next month in Rome, 16-18 September, organised by Giovani e Tradizione (literally "young people and tradition"). The line-up of speakers is impressive, including Fr Nicola Bux, Fr Michael Lang, and Fr Manfred Hauke.
The concluding Mass will be at the Church of SS. Trinità dei Pellegrini, the FSSP parish Church in Rome and will be celebrated by Mgr Camille Perl, the Vice-President of the Pontifical Commission “Ecclesia Dei”. A note adds that the Institute of Christ the King will be providing the music along with the Cappella Musicale of the Pantheon).
A note concerning Masses on the Tuesday morning says "7-8am Holy Masses in the Patriarchal Basilica of St Peter (NB. Priests should bring their own “Missale Romanum” ed. 1962)" This confirms something that I was very glad to hear the other day. Apparently now there is no problem about celebrating Mass according to the usus antiquior in St Peter's Basilica - you simply turn up with your 1962 missal. I am told that the easiest way to find the old Mass in St Peter's is to look round for an altar at which there is a crowd of seminarians in clerical dress ;-)

This is most interesting news.
Many thanks to Fr. Tim for the link to Giovani e Tradizione, a fascinating website (with a very nice photo of Pope Benedict !)
"Youth and Tradition". The very name seems full of hope for the future. So much for the old chestnut that Tradition is only about oldies hankering after the past.
I am delighted by the title of the conference "Summorum Pontificum, a spiritual richness for the whole Church : one year on".
The involvement of "Ecclesia Dei" seems highly significant. Obviously, it supports the idea of this conference. I'd love to hear what the speakers have to say. Their words will be heard at the highest level. I wonder what the outcome will be.
Things, it seems, are getting better !
I can see the headlines in the Bitter Pill: "Indoctrinating conference held in Rome. Bishops complain of deep sorrow."
The revolution of Paul VI is starting to crumble.
It was very exciting to see all the TLMs in San Pietro when I was in Rome in June. One morning that I was in the Basilica it appeared that atleast 1/3 of the altars were being used for TLMs. And naturally the Altar of St. Pope Pius X was the most common place for TLMs.
Would that we all could attend...thank you for posting this.
