Hiatus

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 a [...]

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

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: 2

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:

“A Girl Thing”

Be of good courage and let us behave ourselves manfully for our people, and for the cities of our God: and the Lord will do that which is good in his sight. (Paralipomenon 19:13)

During the Synod of Bishops in Rome in October 1967, after seeing a demonstration of the proposed new Mass, Cardinal Heenan [...]

Requiem for a nightmare

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……:

Pastor of St. Joseph Church in Springfield, MO: “I think that Pope Benedict’s recent decree reviving the old [...]

EWTN: Network Gone Right

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.
Bishops Attending the Second Vatican Council (1st Council in Church History convened for no apparent reason; no Heresy to fight, and John XXIII spoke about how the [...]

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!

I swear, it’s like his job was [...]

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 [...]

Then we who are alive, who are left, shall be taken up together with them in the clouds to meet Christ, into the air, and so shall we be always with the Lord. (Thess 4:16)
