Suppression of PCED Confirmed

Something which has been rumored for a few weeks, that the Pontifical Commission Ecclesia Dei has been abolished as a separate entity, and its duties subsumed by the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, has now been officially confirmed by the publication on the Vatican’s daily Bolletino of a motu proprio to this effect, dated two days ago. It is currently available only in Italian.

I would strongly urge our readers to read what Edward Pentin (here) and Fr Zuhlsdorf (here and especially here) have written about this.

UPDATE: An article about this has now been published on the website of Vatican News: https://www.vaticannews.va/en/pope/news/2019-01/pope-francis-suppresses-ecclesia-dei-commission.html
