Since we are convinced, after long and serious reflection, that great good will accrue to the Church if this solidly established truth shines forth more clearly to all, like a luminous lamp raised aloft, by Our Apostolic authority We decree and establish the feast of Mary’s Queenship, which is to be celebrated every year in [...]

St. Joan of Arc, pray for us, especially for your own French people. May they go back to being the “Eldest Daughter of the Church”, instead of the orphan of that impious Revolution.

Uphold thy servant unto good: let not the proud calumniate me. My eyes have fainted after thy salvation: and for the word of thy justice.

Shortly before he died, one of Israel’s most prominent rabbis wrote the name of the Messiah on a small note which he requested would remain sealed until now. When the note was opened, it revealed what many have known for centuries: Yehoshua, or Yeshua (Jesus), is the Messiah.
The rabbi’s manuscripts, written in his own hand [...]

For since they hold it for certain that men destitute of all religious sense are very rarely to be found, they seem to have founded on that belief a hope that the nations, although they differ among themselves in certain religious matters, will without much difficulty come to agree as brethren in professing certain doctrines, [...]

When Israel went out of Egypt, the house of Jacob from a barbarous people: Judea made his sanctuary, Israel his dominion. The sea saw and fled: Jordan was turned back. The mountains skipped like rams, and the hills like the lambs of the flock. What ailed thee, O thou sea, that thou didst flee: and [...]
Whining about “Indian culture”

Meanwhile a Brazilian priest who works with native Indian groups sharply criticized the Pope for saying that the evangelization of Latin America had brought benefits to Indian culture. Father Paulo Suess told the Reuters news service that the Pope’s statement “was wrong and indefensible.” (CWN). (Bigger Whine)

By their fruits you shall know them. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit, and the evil tree bringeth forth evil fruit. A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can an evil tree bring forth good fruit. (Matt 7:16)

And here I set my face towards home,
For all my pilgrimage is done,
Although, methinks, yon blood-red sun
Marshals the way to Holy Rome.
O Blessed Lady, who dost hold
Upon the seven hills thy reign!
O Mother without blot or stain,
Crowned with bright crowns of triple gold!
O Roma, Roma, at thy feet
I lay this barren gift of song!

Souls ennobled, elevated and prepared by art, are thus better disposed to receive the religious truths and the grace of Jesus Christ. This is one of the reasons why the Sovereign Pontiffs, and the Church in general, honored and continue to honor art and to offer its works as a tribute of human beings to [...]

It’s a damn shame that liberal “Catholics” use the name, and memory of Bl. John XXIII to justify their heresy, and contempt of Truth. The worst we can say about him was that we was perhaps a little overly optimistic of the state of the world, and the Church in relation to it. He would [...]
Is the 4th Century “Trad” enough for ya?
Posted in Pictures on May 6, 2007 | 5 Comments »
I tend to like the gilded Roman-Style “fiddleback” chasubles, and Baroque vestments, particularly on the Pontifical level. However, Benedict is harkening back to an even older tradition in the Church with his “look”. I am, or course, referring to pallium worn by bishops. He brought back the older, larger style. I admit, I kind of [...]

This author of salvation, Christ, will men more fully know, more ardently love and faithfully imitate in proportion as they are more assiduously urged to know and meditate the Sacred Letters, especially the New Testament, for, as St. Jerome the Doctor of Stridon says: “To ignore the Scripture is to ignore Christ”; and again: “If [...]
