CWN Editor's Note: The Vatican has sent out a survey to the world’s bishops, asking for their comments on the effects of Summorum Pontificum, the document with which Pope Benedict XVI opened a path to wider use of the traditional Latin liturgy. The survey sent out by the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, asks bishops, “does it respond to a true pastoral need?” and “what is your advice about the extraordinary form of the Roman Rite?”

Do you think the intent of the survey is to support or suppress the extraordinary form? Or is it a simple matter of curiosity? One would hope that one of the fastest growing sectors of the Church would be promoted as a good example of evangelization to her own and to seekers alike.
