Female Community Joins the Norbertine Order

USA

The Bethlehem Priory of St. Joseph – a cloistered, contemplative women’s religious community in California - officially became part of the Norbertine Order during a recent Mass celebrated in Fresno’s cathedral. The community was founded in 1997 and is located in Tehachapi, California. It has grown to 20 members. 9 of their 20 sisters made their solemn profession on January 29.

Riots Against Christians

Indonesia

On Tuesday, a large crowd of angry Muslims attacked three churches, a Christian orphanage and a Christian health centre in Indonesia. Fr Saldhana , a Holy Family Missionary priest, was violently beaten. He was in his parish church of Sts. Peter and Paul, when the mob broke in and began vandalizing the sacred space. The priest was attacked as he tried to protect the tabernacle and the Eucharist. The violence erupted when a crowd of Muslims heard that a Christian missionary had been sentenced to 5 years’ prison for profaning Islam. The rioters demanded the death penalty.

A Common Sense of Tradition

Internet

Fr Ray Blake has mentioned on his blog the Greek Metropolitan Ignatius of Dimitriados who experienced resistance from the side of his parishioners for using modern Greek in the liturgy. There is - Fr Blake comments - in the East a sense of all being subject to fraternal correction, a sense of interdependence of bishop, clergy and laity, and a common sense of Tradition, which elects bishops and deals heresy locally, whereas in the West there is only an appeal to Rome, and if Rome reacts at all it is simply with at worst a stiff letter.”

“I knew the love was out here and not in there!”

United States

Eric Sammons has published an email he received from pro-life leaders who respond to the presence of the notorious late-term abortionist Leroy Carhart in Germantown, Maryland. The email speaks about a young woman who arrived there with her mother to have a scheduled abortion. The pro-lifers cried out to her not to go in and that they were there because they loved her: “We watched her enter the mill and we all turned and bombarded the mill with prayer!” – the email states: She later came out of the mill and over to us, the email continues: She told us, “I knew the love was out here and not in there!” After talking with her, the pro-lifers drove her to the local pro-life Pregnancy Center. The mother plans to give birth to her baby and is considering adoption.

✍️ Hmmm, I thought my husband was at work..YES, HE would agree with you Men!! 😊 But, O.K.: In all fairness, if the backround photo were that of Eduardo Verástegui in a nice suit and tie, (or tailored charro outfit), I would not be complaining--but would be clicking away at that story!!! 👏 👏 😁

Irapuato - Indeed, what is wrong or perverted with a woman breast-feeding? I think you have not lived in Europe or the English Speaking world long enough......As for the Scandinavians, they breast-feed in public! It's just not an issue of "indecent exposure" or the like! In the English-Speaking and Scandinavian world, it is a most beautiful and natural thing. 👌

You must be of the old Spanish-Colonial dispensation (from old Catholic Spain) in which a passing residue of that old Renaisannce heresy of 'Catharism' is still a fixture. It can be summerised thus: the human body is not good (since a 'fallen angel' fashoined it) and all the functions thereof - tis the soul that is of God. Therefore, we must be ashamed of the body and promote the soul. You are not the only one, my Dad is the same (being born in 1949 in Cordova in Spain!) not to mention many of my Uncles and Aunts in both Cordova and Burgos! 🙂

...would you please use a background photo that is NOT so revealing?
Ira,
Why?
Is there something offensive or unholy about a woman breast feeding her baby? Was there something unseemly about graphic depictions of the Virgin breast-feeding her Child? The picture in the news makes a powerful statement to the pro-abortion crowd of what should be the natural order of life that they seek to pervert. …More

De gustibus non est disputandum.

As for me, I have absolutely no objection to the picture in the news nor to what follows.

But the Vatican yesterday (23rd June 2008 ) said it wanted to see more paintings of a semi-nude Virgin Mary.

What Catholic leaders have in mind is more images of Mary breast-feeding baby Jesus.

The official newspaper of the Holy See has declared it is time to undo four centuries of church disapproval of traditional representations of Mary as an earthy, fleshy mother doting on her newborn son.
..artists later depicted the nursing Mary fully clothed because the Protestant reformers were generally critical of "the carnality and unbecoming nature of many sacred images".

But Miss Scaraffia argued that later depictions had also diminished the Madonna’ s human side "that touches the hearts and faith of the devout".
Miss Scaraffia said that when the early Christian artists represented the Virgin breast-feeding they had sought to reveal the reality of God's incarnation.

Images of a semi-nude Mary breastfeeding can be traced back to early Christian times and were popular during the Renaissance period of the Middle Ages.

There were several other videos on the massacre of these non-Muslims in Indonesia that just took place within the last several days. It is atrocious, to put it mildly as the news cameras could not show (with obvious reason) Three men being beaten with sticks and then Macheteed to death.
Where is the world's Outcry on this? And if it were Christians doing this to Muslims? 🤐More

“If Rome reacts at all.” Indeed!

This simple statement is at the heart of the heresy, insubordination and dissent with today's Catholic Church. What is desperately needed in our Church is order which comes about as a result of discipline. Speaking in general terms, where there is no discipline, there will be no order. St. Peter knew this and acted accordingly.

From Acts:

And Peter said unto her: Why have you agreed together to tempt the Spirit of the Lord? Behold the feet of them who have buried thy husband are at the door, and they shall carry thee out. [10] Immediately she fell down before his feet, and gave up the ghost. And the young men coming in, found her dead: and carried her out, and buried her by her husband.
[11] And there came great fear upon the whole church, and upon all that heard these things.
