A Schismatic Pope?

As expected, and just in time for Christmas, Msgr. Roche, the Latin Mass-hating Prefect of the Congregation for Divine Worship and the Sacraments (CDW) has issued, on the authority the Latin Mass-hating Pope, a “clarification” of “Traditiones custodes” (TC) in the form of answers to eleven questions ( dubia ).

Pope of Mercy Restricts Traditional Sacraments, Bans Traditional Confirmations & Ordinations Without Exception

It is indeed reassuring to know that Francis will—in fact and on occasion—answer certain dubia raised by his bishops, even if we’re still waiting for an answer to those raised by Raymond Cardinal Burke et al some years ago regarding Amoris Laetitia and the pope’s decision to authorize unrepentant public adulterers to receive the Sacraments.

Extracting Blessings from the Mounting Traditions Custodes Wreckage

For good reason, faithful Catholics have condemned Francis’s Traditionis Custodes for its unfair and dishonest attack on the Tridentine Mass and the Catholics who love it. There is no legitimate way to interpret the July 16, 2021 motu proprio in a favorable light, and those who try to do so generally expose themselves as enemies of the Catholic Church. Nonetheless, we know that God can bring good out of evil, and He has permitted Tradtionis Custodes for the benefit of those who love Him and seek to be saints (Romans 8:28).

A Response to Rumors of Further Restrictions on Traditional Catholicism

According to a recent article from Rorate Caeli, the Congregation for Divine Worship is preparing instructions to further implement Traditionis Custodes, with the goal of releasing them next week. The author of the article says that “The instruction will try (among other things) to impose over the global Church, by violent and illegitimate will of the legislator, the blueprint established for the Diocese of Rome by its Cardinal Vicar months ago regarding all Sacraments other than the Holy Eucharist. ” Rome’s protocol forbids the celebration of all the 1962 sacramental rites other than the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, and even the Mass is tampered with and gravely restricted. It appears that the Holy Father wasn’t pleased that few people followed his motu proprio.

The Son of God in the Land of the Rising Sun: A New Book on the Catholic Church in Japan

“In a manner reminiscent of Clavell’s Shogun, Masaru transports the reader to medieval Japan with realism that delights the senses, offering up a blend of history, philosophy and adventure. Based on events little known to those in the West, Masaru artfully presents the faith with a compelling synthesis of action and dialog. Calling upon his own heritage and experiences living in Japan, the author brings to life with vivid textures the characters and settings of the tale. Timeless truths of the faith are presented with fidelity, yet in a manner that is both refreshing and provocative. This is a must-read for anyone who appreciates Japanese culture, lovers of history and philosophy, or those who simply enjoy an exceptionally well-told story.” —Jeffrey Bond, PhD, The University of Chicago

THE INVERSION OF CHRISTMAS: The Diabolical Undertones of its Modern Counterfeit

As we approach the anniversary of Our Blessed Lord’s Nativity this year, I am sure many readers have recently found themselves taking up one side of the age-old argument over whether or not it is appropriate to listen to Christmas music outside of the Christmas season. Taken on its own, I think that whether one answers aye or nay to this question is of little consequence (I for one may be found listening to Morten Lauridsen’s O Magnum Mysterium at any time of the year), but I do think that often, this argument is related to a question of much greater importance: How appropriate is it to begin celebrating Christmas, before Christmas? That is, during the season of Advent?

AN ACT OF VENERATION ON THE SOLEMNITY OF THE IMMACULATE CONCEPTION OF THE BLESSED VIRGIN MARY

“From the beginning, and before the world, was I created, and unto the world to come I shall not cease to be, and in the holy dwelling place I have ministered before him. And so was I established in Sion, and in the holy city likewise I rested, and my power was in Jerusalem. And I took root in an honourable people, and in the portion of my God his inheritance, and my abode is in the full assembly of saints.” (Ecclesiastes 24:14-15)

Mary, Full of Grace

Our Lord filled the Madonna with grace so that, through her fiat, Our Lord might redeem us from our sins and bring us to Heaven.

It is through His grace that Mary fulfilled her vocation, and through His grace that we are saved. On this joyous Feast of the Immaculate Conception, let us invoke the Blessed Virgin Mary, full of grace, that she would unite us all the more with Our Divine Lord.
