De Jure/De Facto

De Jure:
It is, therefore, permissible to celebrate the Sacrifice of the Mass following the typical edition of the Roman Missal promulgated by Blessed John XXIII in 1962 and never abrogated. Catholic priests may use the Roman Missal published by Blessed Pope John XXIII in 1962….For such celebrations, the priest has no need for permission from [...]

What Next? The Camelaucum?
Posted in Pictures on November 25, 2007 | 5 Comments »
Could he? Would he? If not the Tiara, why not it’s predecessor? Why not? He did bring back the older style Pallium. The Camelaucum: The pontifical mitre is of Roman origin: it is derived from a non-liturgical head-covering distinctive of the pope, the camelaucum, to which also the tiara is to be traced. The camelaucum was worn [...]

Don’t let them get away with it! What? “Liberals” claiming Bl. John the XXIII as “their” Pope. Nonsense! They never had a Pope, even the worst. Past posts on John XXIII: (1) (2) (3)

Breathes of the Redemption
Posted in Paintings, Pictures on November 19, 2007 | 3 Comments »
The communion in Christ has nothing of the self-assertion found in natural communities. It breathes of the Redemption. It liberates men from all self-centeredness. Yet such a communion emphatically does not depersonalize the individual; far from dissolving the person into the cosmic, pantheistic swoon so often commended to us these days, it actualizes the person’s [...]

Pius XI: Catholic Missions
Posted in Pictures on November 16, 2007 | 2 Comments »
Since Jesus Christ has proclaimed that the special sign of discipleship with Him is that we “have love one for another” (John xiii, 35; xv, 12) can we give a mark of greater love for our neighbors than to assist them in putting behind themselves the darkness of error by instructing them in the true [...]

Did you know? That JPII was given a Papal Tiara by the Hungarians in 1981? Kind of a mix between the older ones, and Paul VI’s. Too bad he didn’t wear it! (Big hat tip to Trad Cath83). Also: More did you know?

Original Sin

Hence, likewise, they refuse to believe that in infants original sin is remitted through baptism, for they contend that no such original sin exists at all in people by their birth. But if the apostle had wished to assert that sin entered into the world, not by natural descent, but by imitation, he would have [...]

Feast of Holy Relics

Few points of faith can be more satisfactorily traced back to the earliest ages of Christianity than the veneration of relics. The classical instance is to be found in the letter written by the inhabitants of Smyrna, about 156, describing the death of St. Polycarp. After he had been burnt at the stake, we are [...]
