My head is spinning from it all...

"Hi, I'm Father Norman. Would you like to be an Altar Girl?

[ThomasMore]

DC,
It is dizzying! It's like all hell is breaking loose! The libs are going nuts! And now there is threat of even worse scandal with one of our cardinals! How much worse can it get?!?!

[chatham]

Probably because people like to use the term Pedophile and ephebophile when the problem is 99% homosexual.

[chatham]

In addition it is against the Rules of the church for homosexul men to be ordained priests.

It is good news. Lets hope he retains a spine.

[Salvation]

Come back next week without the sash and act appropriately, and then you can have communion.

And after receiving the Sacrament of Reconciliation.

Thanks for the laugh! It is scary especially with two incidents of priests being shot this spring...it wouldn't surprise me if this wasn't just the beginning of that nightmare.

A cheerful note ... the new commission (Vox Clara) charged with overseeing English-language liturgy translation is headed up by the very same Archbishop Pell. A priest who is knowledgeable, orthodox, and a personal friend of mine says this is very good news.

This is INCREDIBLY GOOD NEWS. Vox Clara (Clear voice) is a dope-slap to the Liturgical Bastards that are the ICEL AND the AmBishops who have STOLEN OUR BIRTHRIGHT. I am one damn happy Irish-Algonquin Catholic militant right now.

"The Wanderer" has an lengthy column in the latest issue that recapitulates the important events since the 1970's when the Liturgical Bastards (I mean that in a nice way) decided THEY would take control of the Liturgy and the ICEL would ignore Rome's commands. That Wanderer issue is worth owning and saving forever.

It is OVER for the Liturgical Bastards.....ALL over....Vox Clara, in their refusal to accept the monstrosity the Liturgical Bastards called The Sacramentary (they hate to use "Roman Missal") Vox Clara went out of their way to rip them a new one. They trashed their methods, intent, competence, translations etc. It is OVER for those Liturgical Bastards.

Why call them Liturgical Bastards? Because they have no legitimate Liturgical "father." Read Mediator Dei to see whether it is the Pope or some Liturgical Bastards that have the authority to take decisions about the Liturgy.

As you can see, I harbor a LOT of anger about the Roman Rite being destroyed. I have spent a LOT of time dealing with Bishops and Chanceries trying to get them to be obedient to Rome and the competent authorities and in return, my rights under Canon Law (yes, we DO have a Canonical Right to Authentic Liturgy)were trampled and I was called "insane" a "trouble-maker" - you know the routine.

But, finally, at long last, ROME IS ACTING and it is OVER for the ICEL and the AmBishops.

Did I mention I think they are Liturgical Bastards?

If you’ve never heard The First Baseball Game by Dan St. Paul, and you’re Catholic, this is a must. You’ll need to download the first snippet and have Real Player. Snippet one, Snippet two.

Enjoy.

"Refusal to give communion is the second most serious sanction in church life, after excommunication. So it's a very rare and very important sanction that's been imposed on us."

This last part should have read, "...that we've chosen to impose on ourselves by rejecting the teachings of the Church."

..the group had donned their sashes during the introductory hymn, as a symbol of their desire to "embrace our sexuality as a sacred gift."

Sacred gift? You mean the one that God called an abomination?

The bishop had not offered them a blessing either. If he had done so, it would have been seen as a "token gesture," Kelly said, but nonetheless one that would have said to the group: "We don't completely reject you."

He clearly said that it was their sin, the very one they were choosing to celebrate, that he was rejecting.

Any Catholic who publicly defined himself as "supporting or practicing activities contrary to church teaching in a serious matter is not entitled to receive Holy Communion." The same would apply to a married person living in adultery, [Bishop Pell] added.

The church could use about a thousand more like Bishop Pell.
