@TaylorRMarshall Dominus meus et Deus meus!
Let's hope he at the very least introduces all the reverential actions of the Vetus Ordo into the Novus Ordo.
@hmkherman@AscensionPress Definite improvements, but the "Early Readers Edition" typesetting continues... So much paper wasted. I would estimate you could fit everything, properly typeset, into a book 2/3 the size!
People forget just how explosive the backlash to Fiducia supplicans was.
One example Bishop Martin Mtumbuka of Karonga, Malawi:
"We in this part of the Church will have nothing to do with this madness, that conversion can be promoted by promoting homosexuality. We will not follow our fellow pastors, who like Judas are betraying Jesus today."
“It is very sad, that after 2, 000 years of converting pagans to Christianity, some of our tired brother bishops would want to convert Christians back to paganism”
“Let us not bow to deviations from the Gospel, just because those deviations are common in rich popular societies”
“We are prepared in our opposition to this heresy, to walk the whole way that the martyrs of Uganda walked.”
Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen often concluded his three-hour Good Friday meditation at St. Agnes Church in New York City with the dramatic telling of an encounter with Christ in the throes of crucifixion.
“I will take you down,” Sheen says to Jesus.
“I cannot be taken down,” the Blessed Lord replies, “until every man, woman and child come together to take me down.”
Sheen desperately pleads: “Then what can I do? I cannot bear your cry.”
His voice takes on eternal tones as he quotes Jesus: “Go into the world and tell everyone that you meet, ‘There is a man on the Cross!’”
Instead of engaging in tasteless April Fool's pranks, live April 1st "the Habsburg way", and pray for the intercession of Blessed Karl, who died OTD in Madeira, in 1922.
Ask him most of all for peace.
@Frisky_gaijing@BishopBurbidge The Church teaches abortion is always evil. A pope’s duty is to hand that on; if he fails, he errs. Catholicism does not stand or fall with the pope. We follow Christ through His Church, which safeguards His truth.
