Hiatus: Just one more month or so of new HallowedGround posts folks! (I said I would stop posting in December of 07, but I’m getting tired of trolling for pics, making posts, etc.). I’ll be back next week of so…Until then… just chillin’ like a villian! Just me, and Darwin’s Nephew below ( indeed he was [...]

The Good Fight

**Before I proceed, I have never attended an SSPX Chapel, I am what was called in pre-Motu Proprio days an “Indulter”**. However, we would be remiss not to acknowledge the dedication of Archbishop Lefevbre towards the Mass of Ages. Without him (and many others like him) they would have buried Catholic Tradition. There would be no 1983 [...]
JPII: The Eucharist
Posted in Pictures on September 25, 2007 | 11 Comments »
The Church was born of the paschal mystery. For this very reason the Eucharist, which is in an outstanding way the sacrament of the paschal mystery, stands at the centre of the Church’s life. This is already clear from the earliest images of the Church found in the Acts of the Apostles: “They devoted themselves [...]
Kindreds of the Gentiles

All the ends of the earth shall remember, and shall be converted to the Lord: And all the kindreds of the Gentiles shall adore in his sight. (Psalm 21: 28)
Position on the MP

I normally have a very “local-organic” take on Catholicism. However, there have been some bad, twisting, (and blatantly disobedient) responses of bishops to the Motu Proprio. My Position on the MP: just call me Johnny Ultramontane:

Requiem for a nightmare
Posted in Humor, Pictures on September 21, 2007 | 12 Comments »
Around September 2007 the “Spirit of Vatican II” caught a real bad cold. Being resilient, and believing much still was to be done, it continued it’s work, albeit in a diminished capacity. Eventually, after a bout of Acute Traditionalitis, it succumbed to this mysterious illness on September 14, 2033. These are the pictures taken (yes, from the future) of Reqiuem services held [...]
Anti-Science?

The heavens shew forth the glory of God, and the firmament declareth the work of his hands. Day to day uttereth speech, and night to night sheweth knowledge. There are no speeches nor languages, where their voices are not heard. Their sound hath gone forth into all the earth: and their words unto the ends [...]
Sifting

Sifting: Some Priests are busting their butts running around trying to learn the Extraordinary Mass per the Holy Father’s recent lifting of restrictions on the Mass. And a Pastoral care for their flock who request it:
Some, not so much……:

EWTN: Network Gone Right
Posted in Opinion on September 18, 2007 | 13 Comments »
You probably seen it on TV, or the Internet, but just in case: EWTN Solemn High Mass at Hanceville, AL. (The Whole Mass). Cardinal Mahony must have enjoyed it. EWTN does good work, I don’t understand some of my fellow “trads” who don’t like the station. Sure it’s not perfect, but where else are you going to [...]

If it ain’t broke don’t fix it! You don’t have to DO something just because you can. Licit authority does not mean your actions are either necessary, or valued.

They’re not Related (Thank God)

One Marini for Another? Pope Rumoured to replace M.C. Marini, for another guy named…..Marini. Can’t be worse than the one who would dress in Pope in this: Puke-Green vestments, and, oh yes, the famous “Precious Klingon butt-crack Mitre of Pope Pius the non-existent”
Oh, and the recent Austria thing:
Tie-Dye, on a Pope!

Holy Cross

Rood was I reared. I lifted a mighty King,
Lord of the heavens, dared not to bend.
With dark nails they drove me through: on me those sores are seen,
open malice-wounds. I dared not scathe anyone.
They mocked us both, we two together. All wet with blood I was,
poured out from that Man’s side, after ghost he gave [...]

Thy name, O Mother of God, is filled with all graces and divine blessings. Thou hast contained him who cannot be contained, and nourished him who nourishes all creatures. He who fills heaven and earth, and is Lord of all, was pleased to stand in need of thee, for it was thou who didst clothe [...]
St. Pio
Posted in Pictures on September 6, 2007 | Leave a Comment »
The ultimate reason for the apostolic effectiveness of Padre Pio, the profound root of so much spiritual fruitfulness can be found in that intimate and constant union with God, attested to by his long hours spent in prayer and in the confessional. He loved to repeat, “I am a poor Franciscan who prays” convinced that [...]

It is easier to formulate an answer to the other question- what defense, what remedy should we use against the Devil’s action? — even though it remains difficult to put into practice. We could say: everything that defends us from sin strengthens us by that very fact against the invisible enemy. Grace is the decisive [...]

The first national synod of the Catholic hierarchy held in Ireland since the middle ages opened on Thursday, 22 August 1850, at Thurles, Co. Tipperary. Its principal goal was to reform the Catholic Church in Ireland, root and branch, and to ensure that it conformed in everything to the standards of the universal Catholic Church [...]
