In the wake of the controversy over the ban on communion rails by the Bishop of Charlotte, in contrast to their recovery by the Bishop of Portland, an interesting reflection opens up. In many churches, the communion rail has disappeared quietly and almost without explanation, as if it were a dispensable relic from another time. However, a serene look—free of prejudices and nostalgias—shows that recovering its use has clear advantages, both from the liturgical, pastoral, and practical points of view. Far from being a mere decorative element, the communion rail responds to a logic deeply coherent with the nature of the act it welcomes: the reception of the Body of Christ. These are five practical arguments for recovering its use. 1. Order and fluidity in a central moment of the Mass The communion rail introduces a simple and effective order: the faithful take their place at the foot of the altar, and it is the priest who moves continuously and without interruptions through the space of …
A Veteran trying to feed the homeless Vet's But the hoa wanted to fine him and took him to court. The Judge has the final say. Should the HOA Let the Homeless Stay Hungry? Watching these videos breaks my heart to how cruel and heartless people can be. Another video of an elderly woman who lost her husband and what the hoa did. There are some worse than these two video's I am leaving. She Lost Her Husband, Now The City Wants Her House
Those remain whose fruits abide in charity from their hearts, and they serve others while the cold and heartless people remain whose fruits are darkness as their sulfur spews from their deadened hearts.
You are obsessed with the jews. This is not good for your soul. We know what is going on by now. Pray for them instead. Maybe post something about our Saints or popes? The Blessed Mother maybe? Let it go. This is way too much. Think of filling your soul with good things. As we all should be doing.
Listen how fake news edits and twists the words of President Putin. AGAIN! No wonder people believe so much propaganda. They just don't do any research or investigate on the truth. They just listen to propaganda and then believe it. No research no questions asked no investigating what is true or not. Sadly my own family is like that. They believe whatever the government or fake news says. Ukraine Russia War Reporting Hoax /Lt Col Daniel Davis I have noticed that the people I listen to are now saying that they are not for or against anyone. I think either they are being threatened or warned. Could be yt or the government. I am not sure. But something is not right that they are saying this out of the clear blue.
Writing on IlGiornale.it, Nico Spuntoni confirmed that Pope Leo XIV has sent his Christmas letter to the cardinals. He thanks them for their support and describes the January 7–8 extraordinary consistory as a moment of communion and shared responsibility. The letter identifies four topics for discussion at the consistory: - Renewed evangelisation in light of 'Evangelii Gaudium'. - The relationship between the universal Church and dioceses, as addressed in 'Praedicate Evangelium'. - The Synod and synodality as instruments of collaboration with the Roman Pontiff. - The liturgy: through in-depth theological, historical, and pastoral reflection "in order to retain sound tradition and yet remain open to legitimate progress.” This quotation comes from Sacrosanctum Concilium 23, which sets out general norms for the reform of the Mass. Spuntoni hopes: 'This passage appears to leave open the possibility of discussion among the cardinals regarding how to address the steadily growing communities …More
An Iowa priest, Father Thomas Thakadipuram, pleaded guilty to stealing parish funds and investing them in a scam without church approval. The case stands out not for the crime itself, but because a local bishop appeared in court to emphasize the seriousness of the offense rather than seek leniency for the priest.
According to Vatican Council II and the Catechism of the Catholic Church this speaker is on the way to the fires of Hell without Catholic faith and the baptism of water (AG 7, CCC 845,846). This is also the teaching of the Bible ( John 3:5.,Mark 16:16). Since outside the Catholic Church there is no salvation, Muslims in general are on the way to Hell. In Heavent there are only Catholics ( AG 7,CCC 845,846,1257 etc). Mohammad died without faith and baptism. So he is lost forever as Dante saw him. This is being confirmed today by many people who have near death experiences. Since oytside the Church there is no salvtion from Hell it is important that Governments are Catholic, with the non separation of the Catholic Church and the Catholic State. It is important to proclaim th Social reign of Christ the King in all political legisaltion (Quas Primas).

@mccallansteve …and then bring back the authentic teachings, practices, and beliefs of the Catholic Church that were followed by all faithful Catholics for nearly 2000 years before the Modernists of Second Vatican Council created the counterfeit Conciliar religion and watch God smile on this nation and the world once again.
@mccallansteve The TLM is already in his Diocese and has been for some time. He’s one of the strongest advocates for it among the U.S. Bishops and has celebrated it often himself.

It's all a persona to please the average Vatican II Catholic pewsitter. "Oh, Father Ron is such a nice man! He tells us funny jokes at Mass. Plus he's a hoot at parties."
