Since 1983, men have technically been allowed to wear hats inside a Catholic Church. There's no longer any binding rule prohibiting this.

It was also in 1983 when the requirement that women wear a veil to Mass was dropped.

Yet while MANY women do not veil at Mass, or are even opposed to doing so, I have almost never seen a man wear a hat during Mass. And I have *NEVER* met a man who gets righteously indignant about his "right" to wear a hat in Church, or who makes some big statement by doing such a thing... though I have met many women who are this way about not veiling...

Of course, the custom of women covering their heads and men remaining bare-headed at the Mass comes from 1 Corinthians 11:1-16. The Scripture deals directly with this, and the Church has followed the practice as detailed in that book of the Bible for time immemorial, whether as a custom or as a binding and lawfully required practice.

As I have said before, in spite of the contention it has caused: the day my wife wears a pair of pants outside of the house is the day I wear a skirt outside of the house, for the nature of both practices is identical.

Likewise, the day my wife goes to Mass without veiling is the day I show up to Mass wearing a hat, for the spirit of both things is the same.

And if the idea of a man in a skirt and a hat at Mass strikes you as outrageous, it is not logically different from the idea of a woman in pants with her head uncovered, standing before the true Flesh and Blood of our Lord Jesus Christ. Both are utterly ridiculous whether such practices are governed by canon law or not...

Saint Padre Pio was 1000% right about this stuff.

One of the greatest pieces of oration I’ve seen, RIP Lindsey

[Thomas Hern @ThomasMHern]

I disagreed with Senator Lindsey Graham on a number of issues, but this is how I am going to choose to remember him.

Fighting for the confirmation of Justice Brett Kavanaugh. Lindsey 2.0 was something else. RIP.

Our ICKSP didn't even bring it up, but I understand why as our latin mass community is still very split between SSPX and their parish.

[HowlingTheo @TheoKingofTrain]

FSSP priest told us today this situation is not an “us vs them” or an “our side vs that side” or that “we scored points this round” and then I logged into twitter and first post was from “Pope Respecter”

[David Z. Morris @davidzmorris]

Mitch McConnell remaining technically alive for an extra three weeks because of a manipulative procedural maneuver is exactly how he would have wanted to go out.

This needs to be the case everywhere

This one millon times this

[T.A.R.S. 🏴🇻🇦 @TARSRel0aded]

Here is something many people in the Catholic SSPX debate fail to recognize.

This whole thing is driven by the laity and the faithful.

Well over a million souls who simply demand the Faith and Doctrine of their grandparents, the great saints and martyrs.

Until THEIR concerns are addressed by this modern Church, they will continue to rightfully demand to be nourished by Tradition.

What was Sacred and Good for centuries, can NOT be declared harmful today.

[Zefir @zefirwinds]

This is very accurate

[@StyliteView @ViewFromAS46610]

Interesting metaphor. Caesar didn’t want to bring his troops into Rome - he was forced to by enemies that would not face him directly when he was in Rome, but worked to undermine him while he was away.

What happened next? Caesar did what no one believed anyone would do - he defied his enemies expectations and confronted them in Rome, forcing them to expose their weakness and flee to Greece, which allowed Caesar to take all of the peninsula - then solidify his base and hunt them down in Greece, Egypt and Spain.

End result? Caesar WON.

@WithNightDanger Can you qualify this? I’m inclined to agree but would like to hear more.

[Kevin Tierney @CatholicSmark]

When the inevitable response from Rome comes, please keep in mind that it is not a celebration as the SSPX bishops/potentially more are excommunicated. It is not a good day for the Church. Keep a proper emotional response.

[Zefir @zefirwinds]

@GunsAndRosariez Time will tell.

[Zefir @zefirwinds]

Hopefully it’ll do the opposite

[Guns and Rosaries @GunsAndRosariez]

Don’t worry. Rome will do something crazy soon that will only galvanize the SSPX supporters. You can almost set your watch to it.

Haunting

[News Vaticano 🇻🇦 @news_vaticano]

Una fuerte tormenta interrumpe la ceremonia de las controvertidas ordenaciones episcopales de la Fraternidad Sacerdotal San Pío X (lefebvrianos), consideradas por el Vaticano un acto cismático.

Justo antes de la comunión, los celebrantes, los cuatro nuevos obispos y miles de fieles comienzan a rezar un rosario cantado bajo el diluvio mientras la lluvia obliga a detener la distribución de la comunión.

[John Traddington @JohnTraddington]

Gentlemen, this is synodality manifest. Have a look at the excommunication here. What is the charge? Consecrating a bishop? A traditional, Catholic bishop? Oh, that's a nice excommunication, sir. Ah, yes, I see that you know your Canon Law well.

[InfoVaticana @Infovaticana]

En el momento de la consagración ha comenzado a caer un diluvio sobre Écone. El órgano interpreta "Lascia ch'io panga" mientras los fieles se refugian.

(Deja que llore
mi cruel suerte,
y que suspire
por la libertad;

Que el dolor quiebre
estas cadenas
de mis martirios
sólo por piedad.)

Momento de un simbolismo atronador.

There is no such thing as a closeted cleric.
