Five years ago today, Pope Francis issued Traditionis custodes, sharply restricting the Traditional Latin Mass after concluding from a survey of bishops that its implementation required intervention.
Bishop AGUER about novus ordo : "This and other doctrinal, moral and disciplinary disasters emptied the seminaries and convents; triggered massive desertions in the clergy and religious life, and unleashed a bleeding in the Church." Entire statement in Spanish below.
"One does not care for life by giving death," Father François Yambressinga, parish priest of La Madeleine in Châteaudun, said during his July 5 homily, before the French National Assembly's final vote on legalizing euthanasia tomorrow. He urged the faithful to "pray for life" and to "pray for parliamentarians so that they do not do just anything." Among the congregation was Philippe Vigier, the bill's general rapporteur. He is also the mayor of Châteaudun and a member of the National Assembly for Les Démocrates. Vigier attended the Mass because it was part of the town's annual Foire aux Laines medieval festival. Civic officials appear in costume. He sat in the front row dressed as the fifteenth-century military commander Jean de Dunois. Afterward, Vigier told L'Écho Républicain that he felt personally targeted and "deeply hurt" by the homily. "The priest appealed to the congregation while I had no opportunity to respond. That is unacceptable," he said. According to witnesses cited by …More
Face à Dieu, enracinés dans le Christ, sur la tradition et l ' orthodoxieia. Dans son motu proprio Summorum Pontificum, du 7 juillet 2007, sur les deux usages de l’unique rite romain, dans sa forme ordinaire et extraordinaire, le bien-aimé pape Benoît XVI – qui sera peut-être un jour déclaré Docteur de l’Église – a cherché à libéraliser la récitation de la messe dite “traditionnelle”, “tridentine”, “de saint Pie V” ou “de toujours”.”. Et il l’a fait dans le but de contribuer à la pax liturgica, et devant le respect dû à son usage vénérable et ancien. Ainsi, n’importe quel prêtre pouvait célébrer la “Messe en latin”, sans autorisation spéciale et à l’abri des représailles idéologiques de certains évêques.. Dans la lettre à l’épiscopat mondial, qui accompagne le motu proprio, le Pape a souligné que ce qui était sacré pour les générations précédentes reste sacré et grand pour nous aussi et ne peut pas être soudainement totalement interdit ou même porté atteinte. Dieu seul sait combien le …More
Cardinal Burke: “If the Conciliar Fathers, as they did after the Mass of October 24, 1967 during the Synod of Bishops, had had to vote on the project of the 1969 Missal (New Mass), it is by no means certain that a majority would have voted in favor”
"It is obviously possible to be fully Catholic while living the sacramental life according to the books of 1962. It is absolutely unacceptable to affirm the contrary", Cardinal Raymond Leo Burke told the organisers of the Chartres pilgrimage ‘Notre-Dame de Chrétienté’ in a July 14 YouTube.com video. And: "The liturgy according to the usus antiquior of the Roman Rite is an inestimable treasure of the Church which must be preserved and cherished because it is intimately linked to the very identity of the Roman Catholic Church." Cardinal Burke argued that the Roman rite has proven to be a powerful instrument of evangelization: “It is evident that this liturgy is missionary," he said. "This is seen by its fruits today as in centuries past, because it attracts through its sense of the sacred and transcendence." He added that this is "particularly evident with the younger generation," which he said has "a profound hunger for the spiritual in an increasingly horizontal world." Vatican II …More

When your child is five, being a good mother does not seem terribly complicated. You host tea parties for stuffed animals, admire a drawing that looks like a potato with legs, and help tie a ribbon around the dog’s tail. When your child is fifteen, nobody really knows what being a good mother is supposed to look like. Should you push them to study harder—or back off and let them learn from their own mistakes? Should you work three jobs to save for college, encourage a gap year, or keep them close enough that you can still make sure they are eating something besides chips? When your child is five, comfort is simple. You pull them onto your lap, kiss the sore finger, and somehow the entire world becomes safe again. When your child is fifteen and heartbroken, you may suddenly become part of the unfair, embarrassing world they are convinced no reasonable person could possibly survive. When your child is five, you can talk about almost anything. Dinosaurs. Space. Why worms do not wear shoes …More
During a recent Alpine Mass celebrated in the woods before a cheerful gathering of elderly people, Bishop Derio Olivero, 65, of Pinerolo, Italy, said that there is one part of the Mass "that no longer works", the Penitential Act, reports MessaInLatino.it on 14 July. The blog notes that during Mass, the bishop wore his characteristic episcopal bandana as headgear. Monsignor Olivero is a pro-homosexual activist. During the Alpine Mass, he said sentimentally, "The Mass is a slow act of love. The acts of love are not done in a hurry; caresses given in haste become slaps. So, if you're willing, let's do something: look into each other's eyes for a moment. Look at the person beside you and think: 'This is my brother; this is my sister.'" #newsUaxcxarjhf
Do the right thing! Liturgy of Sunday 19 of July 2026 - XVI of the T.O. Dear brothers and sisters, Jesus, by revealing to us in advance, through the parable of the wheat and the weeds, the final outcome of the "war" between good and evil; between children of the Kingdom and those of darkness: invites us not to make mistakes. What do we really want to be in the field of the world: wheat or weeds? Don't you think that responding with gratitude and enthusiasm to the tender and merciful love of the Father who created us, redeemed us in Christ His Son and enhanced us with His Holy Spirit would be the right choice? Don't you think that putting ourselves at the service of our brothers and sisters' hunger for dignity, freedom, peace and above all for love and God, makes our life so beautiful that it would deserve to be fully lived here on earth and with boundless joy in Heaven? Finally, dear brothers and sisters, let me tell you something, you know it would be, really, foolish to “miss out” the …More
