Wunderschönes Foto. Der Text ist wie immer bei Kwasniewski für meinen Geschmack viel zu lang und unausgegoren (ähnlich geht es mir übrigens mit Heinz-Lothar Barth).
Schneider on Fiducia Supplicans and Same-Sex Blessings - “Fiducia Supplicans uses the express words of ‘same-sex couples.’ This already is a huge confusion... It’s only a play of words, a game of words, which confuses people.” - “This document must be abolished.” - “We cannot bless couples who live in a stable situation of sin... united on same-sex erotic attraction. This is against the creation of God. It’s against the will of God.” - “We cannot bless when a person comes and says, ‘Please, Father, give me a blessing for an abortion,’ or ‘so I will steal something.’ This is evidently not possible.” - “The Church must avoid complicity with evil or to be conniving with evil. This is not Jesus Christ and this is not the apostles or the entire Church.”
Daniel 12:3: "The learned will shine as brightly as the vault of heaven, and those who have instructed many in virtue, as bright as stars for all eternity."
"Old rite, new generation: The Latin Mass finds new life in region At Our Lady of the Valley, a quiet revival is underway as young parishioners embrace the centuries-old Latin Mass"
Cinco cardenales y arzobispos de la Iglesia católica celebrarán durante las próximas semanas liturgias pontificales en la forma tradicional del rito romano, tanto en Roma como en distintas ciudades de Estados Unidos, según informó el National Catholic Register.
Vg2 Esto es lo que le gusta a Satanás: que la Liturgia donde Su Pueblo Le dirige la oración principal de Adoración, de Acción de Gracias y de Glorificación Reviviendo el Sacrificio de Jesús, sea motivo de disputas y controversias entre sus ministros. ¡¡¡Fantástico!!!
Ml 2: "Y ahora, a vosotros esta orden, sacerdotes: Si no escucháis ni tomáis a pecho dar gloria a mi Nombre, dice Yahveh Sebaot, yo lanzaré sobre vosotros la maldición y maldeciré vuestra bendición; y hasta la he maldecido ya, porque ninguno de vosotros toma nada a pecho". 1 Samuel 2:35: "Yo me suscitaré un sacerdote fiel, que obre según mi corazón y mis deseos, le edificaré una casa permanente y caminará siempre en presencia de mi ungido"
Viele Passanten blieben stehen, manche schlossen sich spontan an. „Es berührt mich, wie viele junge Menschen hier mitgehen“, sagte eine Teilnehmerin aus der Region Zürich.
In their own “Open Letter … from the General Chapter”, the FSSR (Transalpine Redemptorists, Sons of the Most Holy Redeemer) declare they repudiate the ‘Synodal Church’ and list doctrinal objections
Rorate: "Let us be clear for the 1000th time: it is about the RITE, the ancient rite, which you may call “form,” but it is ours, to which all Catholics of the Latin Church have “rightful aspirations” (John Paul II) -- and that, “in the meantime, it has clearly been demonstrated that young persons too have discovered this liturgical form, felt its attraction and found in it a form of encounter with the Mystery of the Most Holy Eucharist, particularly suited to them.” (Benedict XVI)"
Even more to the point... it's the ancient FAITH once delivered to the saints, upheld through the centuries. Having Latin & incense - or even the TLM - with the modernist "doctrine" of the "spirit" of the Vatican II Church will NOT lead one to Heaven!
39% of priests in the United States ordained after the year 2000 consider access to the Traditional Latin Mass a priority -- 1in 4, compared with just 11%, or 1 in 10, for priests ordained before 1980.
Some dioceses like Arlington or Chicago still have reasonable access, while others—such as Knoxville or Charlotte—require faithful Catholics to travel two to three hours to attend. Private “underground” Masses exist but reach few people.
The New York Post recently published a sensationalized story about a Catholic couple who discerned out of religious life to pursue the vocation of marriage. Former Carmelite novice and current Instagram influencer Laís Dognini and former seminarian Jackson Dognini made headlines after announcing their marriage. Both had previously discerned religious vocations — Laís in a convent and Jackson in a seminary — before realizing they were called instead to the Sacrament of Matrimony. However, the Post’s article inaccurately claimed: “A glamorous nun has married a Catholic priest after they fell in love while praying together.” In reality, neither Laís nor Jackson had taken final vows, nor were they ever a professed nun or ordained priest. Their story is not one of scandal, but of sincere discernment and faith — a testament to the beauty of discovering one’s true vocation.
(continued) However today, many view marriage as just a means to personal happiness; and I suspect that even some men& women who enter seminary priestly formation or religious life see it as a way to simply "be happy." Sadly without a supernatural foundation many alas leave there vocation when things don't pan out like they thought. They forgot that a vow is before God Almighty and it necessarily involves sacrifice.
Well, we need to recall that Matrimony is one of the seven sacraments along with Holy Orders. True, the contemplative/religious life is a higher vocation than the active life, BUT there have been many saints who were married and it was part of God's plan for them. Just a couple of days ago we had the feast of St. Bridget of Sweden who intended to be a celibate for life , but God called her to marry and she became a founder and even mother of another saint. Also, a godly marriage it NOT merely carnality but for the procreation of children & more souls for the Kingdom of Heaven.
In the latest crackdown on the traditional Roman liturgy in the US, Bishop Daniel Garcia of Monterey, California, has invoked Traditionis Custodes to terminate the TLM in the diocese—just 4 days before being installed as the new bishop of Austin, Texas.
On 18 August, card Burke stated: Leo takes the time to appoint people capable of assisting him in his main responsibilities. The office of pope is impossible for those without the right associates. The very choice of a name that harks back to Leo the Great and Leo XIII makes clear his desire to be an authentic ‘father of fathers’, a true shepherd of the universal Church.
Ouch. Jayd Henricks on Cdl. Cupich: "Cardinal Cupich is his own man, and he has proven many times that he is willing to go his own way, or the way of a small minority of bishops, and create division. Perhaps he has the smell of the sheep, but his sheep tend to huddle in the far-left corner of the yard. I do not know Cardinal Cupich personally, but I have been around him enough to have a sense of the man. He was my rector at the seminary for first-year theology, and even then, in 1995, he went his own way. I remember one evening he cancelled all classes and pastoral activities for a special convocation, something unprecedented for the seminary. He called us together to announce he had been made a monsignor. I felt bad for him then because I thought about how isolated he must be to believe that any of us cared. ... When I worked at the USCCB, he did not hold any significant leadership positions. He could not get elected due to how unpopular he was (and remains), and yet he frequently …Mehr
