Pope Benedict Strikes Back- Major Letter to be Released Tomorrow (Updated Text Is Online)

Well this will get tongues wagging world wide.

See URGENT MATTER The Pope defends himself; cries against moral lynching of Traditionalists .

As you can see we have excerpts. What strikes me as interesting is the way the Vatican is handling this. First Thank God this is not being released on a Friday at the end of the workday. Second this letter or a good bit of it is not under the "embargo". The embargo is when the Vatican releases documents or matters of importance to the press with the agreement they will not quote it till x time.

As you can see Pope Benedict is quite frank in the parts we see.

Update
Much more of the Letter translated here. Note the entire letter is 7 pages and I do not think we shall see the whole thing till tomorrow

Update II

This might be a full translation of the letter (unoffical) It is still not clear to me that this is the full text. Stirring stuff See Papal letter- unofficial English version

Update III
Important post here at Father Z's Tornielli’s commentary on the Pope’s Letter
