Long, but excellent for anyone studying the 1988 dilemma (faced by priests of the SSPX / FSSP) in preparation for the worst case scenario regarding the Summorum Pontificum rumors.

The Catholic Church and the Rule of Law – Part I: Dr. John Lamont
+ JMJ Is a Traditional Catholic who abandons the doctrine of the Catholic Church - are they truly worthy of the name of Catholic? This is why it is important to understand Catholic Doctrine so we don't knowingly abandon it! This is a lecture provided by Dr. Lamont that touches on the topic of obedience. Obedience is one key to emerging from this crisis. P^3 Source Part A: Society of St. Hugh of Cluny Source Part B: Society of St. Hugh of Cluny 8 May 2014 The Catholic Church and the Rule of Law – Part I By John Lamont (Lecture given in New York on Friday, April 4, 2014) The terrible crimes committed against minors by Catholic priests and religious have constituted a dreadful crisis for the Catholic Church over a period of many years. There is however one aspect of this crisis that has not attracted all the attention it should have. This is the failure of the rule of law in the Church with respect to these crimes. Until November 27, 1983, the law in force in the Latin Church was the 1917…

Finally, there is a complete list of signatories
Signatories on letter opposing USCCB vote on ‘Eucharistic coherence’ include 5 cardinals, 6 archbishops
The signers of a May 13 letter which pressed the U.S. bishops’ conference to suspend its conversation on “Eucharistic coherence” include 47 diocesan bishops, five of whom are cardinals, along with 21 auxiliary bishops. Cardinal Wilton Gregory of Washington. CC0 1.0 Universal Public Domain. The letter, sent May 13 to bishops’ conference president Archbishop Jose Gomez, urged that “all Conference wide discussion and committee work on the topic of Eucharistic worthiness and other issues raised by the Holy See be postponed until the full body of bishops is able to meet in person.” “The serious nature of these issues — especially the imperative to forgo substantive unity — makes it impossible to address them productively in the fractured and isolated setting of a distance meeting,” the letter’s signatories wrote. Share The text of the letter, obtained by The Pillar, together with the original list of signatories, was independently confirmed by sources at the Vatican Secretariat of State and …
Coincidence that Francis receives Biden on June 15 - exactly when the bishops discuss?
Worthless traitors
Most detailed version I've seen. Who knows the veracity, but, if true, our FSSP / ICKSP parishes aren't safe either. Honestly, it's a good strategy.
On rumored rollback of Summorum, German website asks: “What’s in store for us?”
A pair of important articles appeared in recent days at the German traditionalist website Motu-proprio: Summorum-Pontificum (www.summorum-pontificum.de), the first on May 31st and the second on June 4. They are provided here in translation for readers of Rorate Caeli. Please note that some of the speculation in the first part is “corrected” in the second part, especially the rumor about Cardinal Braz de Aviz being placed in charge of traditional religious communities, which, for now, seems to be off the table. What’s in store for us? (Part 1) May 31, 2021 There is still no reliable information about the “interpretations” of Summorum pontificum announced by Francis, but there are numerous conjectures. Some of them are to be taken quite seriously. Perhaps the most interesting consideration: Since there is talk of “interpretation,” the text of the motu proprio itself could remain untouched—the planned changes would be realized through a rewrite of the 2011 Universae Ecclesiae implementing …
Not normally Skojec fan, but scroll down to the last quote. It's from Veritatis Splendor and Skojec's two paragraph explanation really seems to be PF's angle.
Does Pope Francis Think the Death Penalty is Intrinsically Evil? - OnePeterFive
Since the release of Fratelli Tutti a few days ago, the debate over the Church’s re-imagined position on the death penalty — covered in some depth in the new encyclical — has resumed with gusto. And the questions that surround this “development” — particularly whether it in fact represents a contradiction — have far reaching implications for both the papacy and the deposit of faith, well beyond the confines of this particular issue. I’ve argued that the perennial teaching of the Church is that the death penalty is, at least in principle, a morally licit recourse as an act of retributive justice and in service of the common good. I’ve argued (and confirmed with competent theologians) that this is a truth revealed by God and affirmed via the Ordinary and Universal Magisterium, and thus, it qualifies as an infallible and irreformable teaching. I’ve also argued that the extreme, widespread unpopularity of the Death Penalty on a prudential basis also makes it the perfect test case for …
"Those living in terror, anger and frustration in the era of Coronavirus, are losing the battle against the maleficent virus. Only those who conserve in the depth of their souls the joy of serving the Lord, are victorious."
De Mattei: The Coronavirus and the ‘New World Dis-order’
Roberto de Mattei Corrispondenza Romana September 9, 2020 The era of the Coronavirus is seeing a new phase in the cosmic struggle between the celestial and infernal forces. In history, in fact, along with the hand of God, we also need to see the hand of the Devil who is always rivaling the Divine plans in order to realize his own warped projects. The Kingdom of God is that of order, peace and harmony; the Devil’s is a kingdom of chaos, conflict and perennial revolution. God permits, for His greater glory, that the two kingdoms - the first always victorious, the second always beaten - wrestle until the end of time. Today the followers of the Devil are the scientists, who, in their laboratories, are seeking to be lords over the life and death of mankind. Then we have the social engineers, who, by means of sophisticated techniques, manipulate the state of mind of public opinion. After the failure of the great illusions that opened the 20th century, the revolutionary forces are now fostering …
Rubbish:
“Covid 19 is a perfidious, mendacious and multifaceted virus, that terrorizes some, paralyzing their forces and destroys the equilibrium of others, making them think that it doesn’t exist.”
More Rubbish:
“Those living in terror, anger and frustration in the era of Coronavirus, are losing the battle against the maleficent virus.”
*****
For starters, virus = coronavirus [“n”=novel before, long dropped], supposedly causing a new disease CoViD-19.
Repeating, Rumpelstiltskin must collect and De Mattei is to spin for them like he is doing; that’s how he pays back.
"We must not rebel, but oppose; we must not be pleased with the errors of our pastors, but pray for them and admonish them respectfully; we must not question their authority but the way in which they use it."
Breaking News: Archbishop Viganò Responds to Questions Posed by CFN
Catholic Family News is happy to report that His Grace, Carlo Maria Viganò, has today sent to us a letter replying to the important questions that CFN contributor Stephen Kokx respecutfully posed in his August 22, 2020 article Questions for Viganò: His Excellency is Right about Vatican II, But What Does He Think Catholics Should Do Now? In his detailed reply, Archbishop Viganò demonstrates that he is a true shepherd who cares for the confused and abandoned sheep of our time. He provides clear and practical answers for the increasing number of Catholics whose eyes are being opened to the Counciliar Revolution. In his prior interventions, Archbishop Viganò has accurately diagnosed the cause of the current crisis and identified the ultimate cure for it–the casting aside of the Council texts. In today’s letter, His Excellency advises what practical treatment members of the Church Militant can utilize to inoculate themselves against the deadly errors of the Counciliar and Post-Counciliar …
The Prophet Speaks Again
Archbishop Viganò: I do not think Vatican II was invalid, but it was gravely manipulated | Opinion
(Editor’s note: The following exchange with former USA nuncio Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò is offered in the hopes of clarifying his position on this important matter of consideration in the Church.) Dear Archbishop Viganò, I am hoping to get a clarification from you about your latest texts regarding the second Vatican council. In your June 9 text you said that “it is undeniable that from Vatican II onwards a parallel church was built, superimposed over and diametrically opposed to the true Church of Christ.” In your subsequent interview with Phil Lawler he asked: “What is the solution? Bishop Schneider proposes that a future Pontiff must repudiate errors; Archbishop Viganò finds that inadequate. But then how can the errors be corrected, in a way that maintains the authority of the teaching magisterium?” You replied: “It will be for one of his Successors, the Vicar of Christ, in the fullness of his apostolic power, to rejoin the thread of Tradition there where it was cut off. This will …
One important consideration was not mentioned in this discussion and that is the revolutionary changes that were made to the liturgy under the auspices of Montini-Bugnini. That should have been the "red flag"to reject the Council outright.
A similar defense could be made for Judas. ;-)

What We Believe - Black Lives Matter
Four years ago, what is now known as the Black Lives Matter Global Network began to organize. It started out as a chapter-based, member-led organization whose mission was to build local power and to intervene when violence was inflicted on Black communities by the state and vigilantes. In the years since, we’ve committed to struggling together and to imagining and creating a world free of anti-Blackness, where every Black person has the social, economic, and political power to thrive. Black Lives Matter began as a call to action in response to state-sanctioned violence and anti-Black racism. Our intention from the very beginning was to connect Black people from all over the world who have a shared desire for justice to act together in their communities. The impetus for that commitment was, and still is, the rampant and deliberate violence inflicted on us by the state. Enraged by the death of Trayvon Martin and the subsequent acquittal of his killer, George Zimmerman, and inspired by the …
