(First post: “if only they listened“)
Advantage to religious vows and ordination should be barred to those who are afflicted with evil tendencies to homosexuality or pederasty, since for them the common life and the priestly ministry would constitute serious dangers.Very special investigation is needed for those students who, although they have hitherto been free of formal [...]

For the Greater Glory of God, the proper respect of the Most Holy Eucharist, and Edification of his Church.. The Traditional Latin Mass has been let out of the catacombs yet again!! Let the Nay-sayers be Nay-sayed, let the liberal crypto-Protestants gnash their teeth, let accusations of “schmismatic tendencies”, or “nostalgia” be quelled, let heterodox bishops shake [...]
Voice of the Church

It can be foreseen that this teaching will perhaps not be easily received by all: Too numerous are those voices — amplified by the modern means of propaganda — which are contrary to the voice of the Church. To tell the truth, the Church is not surprised to be made, like her divine Founder, a [...]

For the man who owing to his peculiar bent of mind, or any other cause, should choose to undertake the ministry of the Word, finds easy access to the pulpits of our churches as to a drill-ground where any one may practice at will. Therefore, Venerable Brethren, it is your duty to see that such [...]

Exterior worship, finally, reveals and emphasizes the unity of the mystical Body, feeds new fuel to its holy zeal, fortifies its energy, intensifies its action day by day: “for although the ceremonies themselves can claim no perfection or sanctity in their won right, they are, nevertheless, the outward acts of religion, designed to rouse the [...]

And in the last days the mountain of the house of the Lord shall be prepared on the tops of mountains, and it shall be exalted above the hills, and all nations shall flow unto it. And many people shall go, and say: Come and let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, [...]

As far as exterior matters are concerned, you know how completely cut off we are from everything. Oh, my Creator and Lord! When have I merited so great an honor? Thou seemest to have searched everywhere for means of drawing nearer to us. May it please Thy goodness that we lose not this through our [...]

And another said: I will follow thee, Lord; but let me first take my leave of them that are at my house. Jesus said to him: No man putting his hand to the plough, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God. (Luke 9:61)

Go to confession to the Blessed Virgin, or to an angel; will they absolve you? No. Will they give you the Body and Blood of Our Lord? No. The Holy Virgin cannot make her Divine Son descend into the Host. You might have two hundred angels there, but they could not absolve you. A priest, [...]

Pope Benedict XVI, an admirer of the Latin Mass, and is understood to have signed a document that would allow priests to celebrate it whenever they wish. Insiders have disclosed, however, that Cardinal Cormac Murphy-O’Connor has written to the Vatican arguing that such a relaxation is unnecessary. (Source)

Moreover, respect must everywhere by shown for the feelings of all those who are attached to the Latin liturgical tradition by a wide and generous application of the directives already issued some time ago by the Apostolic See for the use of the Roman Missal according to the typical edition of 1962.

Some anti-Catholic, and anti-Papal (specifically St. Pius X) cartoons showing what the world felt about the late holy pope in his protection of the Church. Quite honestly I rather enjoy anti-Catholic cartoons, they’re just a great laugh. They also let you know the Church is on the right track.
If the world hate you, know ye, that [...]

How many, think you, of those crowding around and gaping for Christian blood,—how many even of your rulers, notable for their justice to you and for their severe measures against us, may I charge in their own consciences with the sin of putting their offspring to death? In our case, murder being once for all [...]

And we have the more firm prophetical word: whereunto you do well to attend, as to a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts: Understanding this first, that no prochecy of scripture is made by Private Interpretation. (2nd Peter 1:19-20)

Down in adoration falling,
Lo! the sacred Host we hail,
Lo! oe’r ancient forms departing
Newer rites of grace prevail;
Faith for all defects supplying,
Where the feeble senses fail.
To the everlasting Father,
And the Son Who reigns on high
With the Holy Spirit proceeding
Forth from each eternally,
Be salvation, honor blessing,
Might and endless majesty.
Amen.
Thou hast given them bread from heaven
Having within it [...]

A prayer I say silently throughout the day is from the Mass: Through Him, With Him, In Him, in the Unity of the Holy Spirit, all Glory and Honour is Yours Almighty Father Forever and Ever. Just perfect and beautiful. Not wordy or overly formal, it just quickly sums up the Faith, and reminds you that Mass lasts throughout [...]
