I'm wondering why the papal delegate would be making demands here of the Synod with regards to the agreement? Isn't his role supposed to be to facilitate an agreement between the Synod - or is he just there to bring the hammer down? It seems strange that when an agreement seems to be within reach he could potentially have a hand in scuttling the deal because it isn't to his liking. I know that the Synod requested a papal intervention in the first place, but I wasn't aware that included ceding their authority to make decisions on behalf of their Church once Archbishop Vasil entered the picture, something that they typically do on their own without much Roman oversight, under normal circumstances.

"Priests in the archdiocese would continue to celebrate the liturgy facing the people until the pastoral situation permitted them to implement the new liturgy."

What is meant by "the pastoral situation?"

When would that be?

At the Second Coming of Christ?
