The Compendium Eucharisticum Has Come

Vatican

The Congregation for Divine Worship has completed the Compendium Eucharisticum, a volume designed to help priests celebrate Mass. The compendium was prepared at the request of Pope Benedict XVI. It includes prayers, theological texts, and other study materials. Cardinal Antonio Canizares, the prefect of the Congregation for Divine Worship, said the volume offers "everything that may be useful for the correct understanding, celebration, and adoration of the sacrament of the altar." The text has been published in Italian. An English-language translation is forthcoming.

A Final Rejection of Anglicanism

USA

New York parish priest Fr. George Rutler, a convert from Anglicanism, was asked by the Catholic News Agency on October 20 what his reaction is to the Vatican's new Anglican provision. Fr. Rutler's replied: “This provision is a dramatic slap-down of liberal Anglicanism and a total repudiation of the ordination of women, homosexual marriage and the general neglect of doctrine in Anglicanism. Indeed, it is a final rejection of Anglicanism. It basically interprets Anglicanism as a spiritual patrimony based on ethnic tradition rather than substantial doctrine and makes clear that it is not a historic "church" but rather an "ecclesial community” that strayed and now is invited to return to communion with the Pope as Successor of Peter.”

As soon as possible to celebrate together

Vatican

At the end of the last Wensday general audience, Bishop Tichon, head of the diocese for Central and Western Europe of the Patriarchate of Bulgaria, stated to the Pope, " "the theological dialogue that is going forward in these days in Cyprus is certainly important, but we should not be afraid to say that we must find as soon as possible the way to celebrate together." L'Osservatore Romano reported.

Did Cardinal Newman Inspire the Pope?

UK

The British journalist Damian Thompson has asked the question whether Pope Benedict XVI was inspired by Cardinal John Henry Newman, when he suddenly threw open the gates of Rome to disaffected Anglicans on Tuesday morning. Benedict XVI may beatify Cardinal Newman in England next year. Theofficial webside for Newman’s cause remembered Newman’s support for a proposal to establish an Anglican Uniate Church for converts, similar to that provided for Byzantine-rite Catholics. In 1876 Newman wrote: “Nothing will rejoice me more than to find that the Holy See considers it safe and promising to sanction some such plan as the Pamphlet suggests. I give my best prayers, such as they are, that some means of drawing to us so many good people, who are now shivering at our gates, may be discovered.” At the end Thompson says: I hope Pope Benedict will name his great scheme after Newman.
