« Ce sont les Juifs qui ont tué Notre-Seigneur Jésus-Christ, et leurs cris de “Crucifiez-le !” résonnent à travers les siècles. Nous ne pouvons pas appeler frères dans la foi ceux qui nient la divinité du Christ. »

Mgr Marcel Lefebvre.

This will blow your mind:

In the Eucharist, when we stand and listen to the Gospel lesson….

In the first decades of Christianity, before the 4 Gospels were written or circulated, at this point in the liturgy, one of the 12 living Apostles would stand up and tell a story they remembered about Jesus Christ (Gospel lesson) and then explain it (sermon). Then that Apostle would consecrate and distribute the Eucharist.

The 4 Gospels naturally took the place of the living Apostles over time. That’s why the Apostles commissioned the 4 Gospels. And it’s why we still stand - in honor of the Apostles sharing their memory of the very words of Christ.

The Church would be so much better today if we listened to this guy

[Father João Silveira @joaosilveiraaa]

Today, the Mass was denied to me in Ávila (Spain). I am the chaplain of a pilgrimage group from the United States. This pilgrims usually attend the Traditional Latin Mass, so they wanted to be accompanied by a priest who would celebrate in the Old Rite. We had the chapel booked, but we were told that this rite required authorization from the Bishop.

I went to the Episcopal Curia to request the authorization, so the Mass could take place. However, the Bishop, not to me personally, but through the Vicar General, categorically stated: “That Mass is prohibited in this diocese.” Prohibited why? And by what authority? Has this rite been abrogated?

I was going to celebrate it in a chapel with the group of pilgrims. What harm could possibly come to the world? The rite is exactly the same one used in the convents of the Discalced Carmelites, stemming from the reform of Saint Teresa of Ávila and Saint John of the Cross. The rite was good for those great saints, but now it is bad for us?

The Code of Canon Law - Canon 932 §1 - prohibits Masses outside of sacred places, except in cases of necessity: “The Eucharistic celebration must be carried out in a sacred place unless, in a particular case, necessity requires otherwise; in that case, it must be celebrated in a decent place.”

In this case, there was no necessity to celebrate the Mass in a hotel room, since we were surrounded by chapels and churches with beautiful altars (that are almost never used). The necessity was created by the Bishop himself, who, instead of promoting sacred things, decided to prohibit them.

Who benefited from the Mass being celebrated in a profane place? Was Our Lord more praised in a hotel room than He would have been in a church? Were the souls of the faithful more edified by seeing a table serving as an altar?

It is normal for people to be scandalized by these tyrannical and anti-pastoral decisions, especially from those who claim that everyone is welcome in the Church. But not everyone is. That is quite clear.

I have gone through several similar episodes before and remained silent. But this must be denounced, this cannot be the normal state of the Church. Pope Leo must act quickly to put an end to these abuses of authority.

JUST IN: Abp Viganò publishes letter he sent to Pope Leo in January.

- He rejects idea that he is schismatic:
“In the face of the excommunication unjustly imposed upon me, I declare that I am not a schismatic! By the grace of God, I am and will remain a devout son of the Holy Roman Church and a faithful subject of the Roman Pontificate”

- Says the Vatican officials in the trial against him were “unable to refute a single one of the arguments I presented. But it was enough for them that I dared to criticize Vatican II and Jorge Mario Bergoglio to condemn me to excommunication for the crime of schism”

- Asks Leo to denounce issues from Francis papacy & to defend doctrine:
“I ask you to exercise your supreme Authority to confirm the brethren in the Faith. I ask you to confirm me in the Faith: please do so.”

- Writes that Vatican II was “intended to be used to revolutionize the entire ecclesial structure and subvert it in all its components: in doctrine, liturgy, discipline, canon law, and especially in its hierarchical constitution”

- Renews request to meet Leo in order to tell him “in person some matters of the utmost importance relating to my apostolic Ministry and the need to ensure its continuity and future.”

@ClassicalTheis matins?

[Humble Flow @HumbleFlow]

Will we ever get a Traditionalist Pope again?

Someone who preaches the Gospel without apology, understands the threats facing Christianity, has no handlers, and thinks for himself.

The last Pope I respected was Pope Benedict XVI, a fellow Bavarian.

Since then, I've watched too many church leaders seem more eager to accommodate Islam and secular opinion than defend Christianity. I'm tired of it.

@james_tourish Truth!

[Fr. Paolo D'Angona @RomanoSace57080]

A man confesses: "I stole a watch! Do you want it?" The priest: "No! Give it back to the person it belongs to!" "He didn't want it back!" "Then you can keep it." Relieved, the man leaves. When the priest returns to the sacristy, he notices that his watch is no longer there.

Really looking forward to the official Vatican press releases for the conclave:

“With hearts full of gratitude to God, we joyfully announce that the Cardinal electors of the Conclave have come to a consensus and have unanimously elected to have chicken penne for lunch.”
