The Holy See forces a strange, hybrid version of the Roman Rite Mass and the Novus Ordo on the hitherto traditional sisters of the "Institute of the Dominican Sisters of the Holy Spirit" in Pontcallec, France. On July 25, the "synodal" Vatican imposed on the sisters ready-made decisions that will take effect on 1 December (communiqué on Dominicaines-Du-Saint-Esprit.fr, July 25): - The Vatican requires that the Novus Ordo liturgical calendar be used. - The Novus Ordo must be celebrated in all houses, one week a month on weekdays, and Holy Mass remains for three weeks and the Sundays. - The readings are to be taken from the Novus Ordo lectionaries. - The Novus Ordo prefaces are to be used at all Masses. The Vatican calls these measures "a step toward the discovery" of the Novus Ordo. The sisters will retain the Latin, the Gregorian chant, and the celebration toward the altar [for now]. #newsWsighfilfz

Rorate published a full translation of the statement: In a press release of the summer of 2023, we briefly touched on the liturgical question, which is particularly sensitive in these times. We pointed out that the Holy See, without asking us to renounce the vetus ordo, was inviting us to reflect on how to show, in our conventual life too, and not just on a few external occasions, that we do not exclude the missal according to the Novus Ordo. This reflection has progressed over the past year, and elements of it have been communicated to the Holy See. At the beginning of the summer, he asked us, as you may have heard, that Masses during our community retreat at the end of July be celebrated according to the novus ordo, except on Sundays. The liturgical dignity, piety and beauty we cherish will remain, all the more so as our preacher this year is accustomed to celebrating in Gregorian ad orientem. [This is a peculiar French turn of phrase that means a new Mass ad orientem and with …More

Cloistered life in Spain has lost nearly 3,700 nuns since 2013, and 162 monasteries have been closed. Many more will follow. Spain and Italy are the countries with the largest number of cloistered monasteries. According to the Spanish Bishops' Conference (CEE), there are 703 active convents, compared to 865 in 2013. And so far in 2024, four more have closed their doors. The latest is the Congregation of the Carmelite nuns of Lucena, which has been linked to this city in Cordoba for four centuries. Of the total number of convents currently in operation, 666 are for women and 37 for men. The unstoppable secularisation of the Church, together with the low birth rate and the ageing of the communities (the average age of the nuns is around 80), is disastrous. For the first time, the average number of nuns per convent has fallen below 11. The convent of the Carmelite nuns of Ronda is one of the monasteries struggling to survive, writes Heraldo.es (21 July). Its abbess, the Gibraltarian Sister …More

As early as the 1940s and 1950s, the Holy See suggested that Father Marcial Maciel (1920-2008), founder of the Legionaries of Christ, was guilty of homosexual acts, drug use, financial recklessness, and mendacity. Maciel later also fathered three children and used his religious order to hide and finance a double life. Maciel founded the Legion of Christ in Mexico in 1941. In 2012, some of Maciel's Mexican victims published on LaVoluntadDeNoSaber.com about 200 documents from the Congregation for Religious from the 1940s to 2002 . Corriere.it (20 July) added to the known information one new document from the Vatican archives of the papacy of Pius XII (1939-1958). It is the original draft of a note dated 1 October 1956, written by Monsignor Giovanni Battista Scapinelli of the Holy Congregation for Religious. This was the day that Maciel arrived in Rome after being removed by the Vatican as superior of the Legionaries of Christ. The note called for Maciel to be barred from any contact with …More

Caminante-Wanderer.blogspot.com (22 July) commented on rumours about an alleged new anti-Holy Mass document from the Holy See. Main points - Such a document, in the form of an Apostolic Constitution, has been in the Vatican's drawers since late 2021. - Francis was supposed to sign it in February 2022, but he refused. - Cardinal Roche, head of the Dicastery for the Liturgy, who presented the document to Francis, fell out of favour with the tyrant. Francis has not received Roche personally since. - Cardinal Roche is "not a skilful person, let alone an intelligent one", but "a person who has a habit of screwing up every project and every organisation". - Cardinal Roche ended up in Rome because in just three years as Bishop of Leeds, England, he had caused all kinds of chaos, including financial, although the diocese is wealthy. Cardinal Nichols asked Benedict XVI to remove Roche from England, and Benedict had no better idea than to make him Secretary of the Congregation for the Liturgy. -…More

The Synod of the Chaldean Church, led by Cardinal and Patriarch Louis Raphael Sako, has publicly announced that it refuses to bless homosexual unions in order to preserve the sanctity of marriage. In the same statement, they indicate the need to raise awareness among priests about the seriousness of sexual abuse of minors. The Chaldean Church, which has given a good number of martyrs to the Catholic Church in recent times, killed out of hatred for the faith by Islamist fundamentalists of ISIS, follows the pattern set by the Eastern churches, whether they are in communion with Rome or not, and by a good part of the world's Latin-rite episcopate, and refuses to bless homosexual unions. The Chaldean Church is one of the twenty-four sui iuris Churches that make up the Catholic Church. It is an Eastern Catholic Church that follows the Chaldean (or East Syrian) liturgical tradition, using East Syriac as its liturgical language and Peninsular Arabic as its auxiliary language. It is presided …More

So many English speakers here. Wonderful. God bless, my friends. Let me say something clear: Let me make something clear: the priest who allowed this to happen and the people who applauded should be given a dressing down. I would have thrown them all out of the church in the style of Don Camillo. When I was in the 8th grade, I was very shy and went to a church boarding school. The headmaster was a priest. One time he read the mass so fast and without any respect, as he often did. I went over and confronted him. But I'm no better. When i was about 34 i went to an evangelical church and because I was suffering from depression and was tired, I thought I could lie down on a bench and rest for a while. Then a man came and yelled at me. The difference? Basically none, except that in a Catholic church there is the sacrament of the altar. So let's pray for all those who give the holy things to pigs.

Another open letter, this time from the Americas, urges Francis not to impose rumoured new restrictions on the Mass in the Roman Rite. This letter, published on LetterToPopeFrancis.org (15 July), comes two weeks after prominent British figures from the arts, business, and politics made a similar appeal. The new letter was organised by a former chairman of the National Endowment for the Arts, Michael Dana Goia. He is a poet, literary critic, literary translator, and essayist. It is co-signed by the political commentator Andrew Sullivan, the Mexican actor Eduardo Verastegui, the theologian Larry Chapp, and a number of other figures from the arts and politics. They are "Catholics and non-Catholics, believers and non-believers" and call it it "short-sighted" to deprive the next generation of this source of mystery, beauty, and contemplation of the sacred: "All of us, believers and non-believers alike, recognise that this ancient liturgy, which inspired the work of Palestrina, Bach, and …More

Bishop Michael Gielen of Christchurch, New Zealand, has forced the Transalpine Redemptorists, who celebrate the Mass in the Roman Rite, to leave the diocese. The decree of 14 July also removes their priestly faculties within the diocese. It is effective immediately: "Any ministry [...] will be unauthorised and liturgical celebrations will be illicit - that is, outside the rules of the Church." There are wishy-washy accusations of "spiritual and psychological abuse" and "unauthorised" exorcisms against the Redemptorists. Former Bishop Robert McGuckin of Toowoomba, Australia, carried out an Apostolic Visitation in November 2023. Subsequently, the Vatican's Dicastery for Religious sent recommendations to Bishop Gielen, who is now happy to accept them. Gielen promises to make "a new provision for the pastoral care and celebration of the Eucharist and other sacraments for the Traditional Latin Mass community" in Kaiapoi, starting on 21 July. #newsPbtabemijy

Sir James MacMillan, a world-famous Scottish composer, has launched a petition on Change.org calling for "an end to the ban on the Traditional Latin Mass". MacMillan, along with many other people from the arts and public life, had already written to The Times on 3 July asking the Vatican to end its recent policy of banning the ancient Traditional Latin Mass from Catholic parishes around the world. MacMillan, 64, is the son of a simple carpenter. As a young man he was briefly a member of the Young Communist League. He first came to public attention in 1990 with the premiere of The Confession of Isobel Gowdie, a work for large symphony orchestra. The work's international acclaim led to further high-profile commissions. MacMillan's percussion concerto Veni, Veni, Emmanuel has become his most performed work. He was also asked by the legendary Mstislav Rostropovich to compose his Cello Concerto, which Rostropovich premiered in 1997. MacMillan's Catholic faith has inspired many of his sacred …More

The Priestly Fraternity of St Peter (FSSP), which celebrates solely the Mass in the Roman Rite, has elected Father John Berg as Superior General for a term of six years. Father Berg, an American born in Minnesota, was already the Superior General of the FSSP from 2006 to 2018. For the past six years, he has returned to parish ministry in Providence, Rhode Island and Omaha, Nebraska. He succeeds Father Andrzej Komorowski. He said he wanted to "continue the work of the last 6 years in the service of the Fraternity". The General Chapter of the Priestly Fraternity takes places from July 3 to July 18 at their Seminary in Denton, Nebraska. 32 capitulants were present. The election of the assistants and counselors will follow in the next few days. Picture: John Berg, FSSP.org, #newsOghlewefix

Your Eminence, where do we start? How has the Instrumentum laboris, which has been presented today, been constructed in comparison with previous documents, such as the Synthesis Report and the Instrumentum laboris of the first session? The working instrument is not made from scratch. We have the Synthesis Report of the first session, then we have again the reactions of all the Churches. It is a theological reflection on what …More
