"With so many witnesses in a great cloud on every side of us, we too, then, should throw off everything that hinders us, especially the sin that clings so easily, and keep running steadily in the race we have started. Let us not lose sight of Jesus, who leads us in our faith and brings it to perfection: for the sake of the joy which was still in the future, he endured the cross, disregarding the shamefulness of it, and from now on has taken his place at the right of God’s throne. Think of the way he stood such opposition from sinners and then you will not give up for want of courage. In the fight against sin, you have not yet had to keep fighting to the point of death." – Hebrews 12:1-4, which is today's 2nd reading at Mass.

Well, not just pagan, barbarian, half savage, also. Christianity civilizes while evangelizing; but these evil idiots deprive the indians of civilization, in the name of their rousseaunism. And, at the same time, they deprive the indians of salvation, wisdom, the Light of the world. They deprive the indians of the classical and Christian philosophy and theology, of science, of the institutions, of everything (freedom, being above the mechanical forces of the universe, Christian one and only universalism). There is no excuse for this, they will have to pay dearly for their willful blindness and its consequences

"I think that for the moment it is necessary to evaluate the richness of the work in Medjugorje. We need to understand all of this together: why there is such a huge number of pilgrims, of prayers and to understand also how the possible apparitions in Medjugorje (relate) to the life of the church. For that we should wait the judgment the Holy Father will give. To rush this delicate matter is a mistake."

Of course the "reverend" is focused entirely on temporal matters which is not surprising considering the fact that he is protestant. What he completely misses is the most important and dire consequence of the law: it will keep penitents out of the confessional for fear of earthly retribution, thereby making them vulnerable to eternal retribution by virtue of passing from this life not having confessed grave sins. That is the major problem with this law, well understood by the good priests who will not obey it. Satan will do anything to keep souls out of the confessional. And, on that score, the law will far from "fall short." And the "reverend," being in his words "not an advocate of the rite [sic] of confession," is fully on board with the diabolical program. He's either a dunce, or intentionally speaking out of both sides of his mouth. Out of charity I'll go with the former.

John Taverner (c1490-1545) Missa Gloria tibi Trinitas The Choir of Christ Church Cathedral, Oxford Taverner's festal Mass "Missa Gloria tibi Trinitas" is some of his most elaborate and beautiful music. It was hugely influential both on his contemporaries and successors. In fact it gave rise to an entire new genre of music the "In Nomine" every English composer upto and including Purcell himself, tested their mastery of contrapuntal techniques by basing music on the 'In nomine' section of the Benedictus of this Mass - Taverner's "Missa Gloria Tibi Trinitas". That is a unique achievement in the history of English music. This music video includes the Cantus Firmus and a troped Kyrie. I've included the cantus firmus so that you can hear it and recognise it as it occurs throughout the Mass. The troped Kyrie (in this case Kyrie Deus creator omnium) was widely used in the Sarum rite Masses said and sung in England at that time.
