Change in Ecclesia Dei commission

Here is the article, Pope removes officals seen as responsible for Holocaust denying bishop row

It seems that the Holy Father has removed Cardinal Castrillon-Hoyos and Monsignor Perl from their positions and has placed the Ecclesia Dei commission under the control of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith headed by Cardinal Levada.

What do you think of this move?

I posted this under Catholic News:
Pope puts “Ecclesia Dei” under doctrinal congregation
No response yet there either.

IMO, I think it will be good and may help.

The Vatican also announced today that the new head of the Ecclesia Dei Commission will be Italian Monsignor Guido Pozzo, 57, formerly an official in the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith and deputy secretary of the International Theological Commission, an advisory body to the doctrinal congregation.

Levada released a statement today stipulating that as far as the Lefebvrite movement is concerned, “the doctrinal questions remain open. Until they’re clarified, Levada’s statement said, the ‘Society of St. Pius X’ cannot enjoy any canonical status within the church, and its ministers do not exercise in a legitimate way any ministry within the church.”

Nothing has changed. One could speculate why this happened,but we don’t know at this time.

Cardinal Hoyos hit retirement age just a week ago… he was not removed.

Actually I believe this comment from Cardinal Levada does show a change, at least a change from what some here have been portraying. It appears, with this comment, that Rome will now wait on an actual positive response from the SSPX before moving any further, which is a good thing.
