Are you closely awaiting the constantly forecast arrival of the Motu Proprio to liberalize the Tridentine Rite? Do you follow every rumor of the latest announcement of the release date?
If so you will enjoy the fun of Motu Proprio Pool.
Play with your like-minded friends in you local parish or throughout your diocese. It is really simple to play. Just pick the date you think it will be issued on and write your name. Each person ponies up a dollar to pick a date of their choice. If the document is not released that month the pot rolls over to the next month and you all try again.
The best thing is that it does not matter who wins the pool since when the Motu Proprio is released everybody wins.
Motu Proprio Pool is more-than-likely legal to play in most states. This is purely a game of chance. The predictions so far of Vatican insiders on upcoming release dates have been just as random as if you threw a dart at a calendar in the first place.
So print out the Motu Proprio Pool and start having fun now!

Does the winner get to shout “Bingo!” ?
Too funny, Jeff!!
ROTFL – Thanks!
Jeff,
You didn’t get this quite right. Since the subject of the MP is the “old” Mass, you should have used the “old” calendar.
Or at least mix up the old and new calendars.
Keeps us guessing and all.

You left off April 30th, feast day of St. Pius V. Tomorrow is the great getting up day, folks!
When this comes out, some folk are going to go into withdrawl.
Okay, either it came out in invisible ink or I was wrong. Oh, well.
I’m voting for May 26th, St Philip Neri! 🙂
Fr. Philip Neri Powell, OP
Original calendar for May found here:

Why are you using the Franciscans’ online saints calendar and not giving them credit?
What can possibly be your reason for not giving them at least a hat tip, Mr. Miller?
I am surprised that any site which chooses the domain name: “AmericanCatholic” has any connection with what is old in the Church. For that matter the Franciscans of St. Anthony Messenger Press have long underwhelmed me with their milquetoast publication “Catholic Update”!
uh…April 24th……..2025
Catholics love gambling, don’t we?
Since it probably won’t be tomorrow (Athanasius contra mundum!), I’ll have to go w/ St Rita who, like St. Jude, is a Patron of Lost Causes.
Smart money might go w/ Pope St. Gregory, which falls the week after Pentecost.
When’s the feast of St. Benedict? July 11, I think.
I O U $3.00.
