Now There’s a Shocker

In a story in CNS today, it is being reported that retired Cardinal Carlo Maria Martini will NOT be celebrating the extraordinary rite of Mass.
I’ll give you a moment to stop reeling. You OK? Good. Let’s move on. Here’s what his Eminence had to say:
Although he loves the Latin language and would have no technical [...]

As you’ve probably noticed, I’m not blogging much, even though I’m back in town. I’m feeling a bit…fried. My brain is in lots of places at the same time these days, and while I’m still checking out my daily must-read blogs (like WDTPRS ) I don’t feel like I have much to offer on my own. [...]
Diogenes on the Tears of Bugnini’s Sith Apprentice
Posted in Motu Mania on July 13, 2007 | 2 Comments »
Diogenes sheds some light on the “weeping” and “mourning” of Bishop Luca Brandolini over the release of Summorum Pontificum:
• Bishop Brandolini is a former aide to, and proud disciple of, the late Archbishop Annibale Bugnini, a principal architect of the 1969 liturgical reforms. Brandolini now wears Bugnini’s episcopal ring.
• Bishop Brandolini– who would know– charges [...]
Smarter Men than I on Summorum Pontificum

If you haven’t read it yet, see Dr. Thomas Woods Jr.’s piece at Lewrockwell.com on the MP. It’s good stuff:
If we had a media with the tiniest shred of intellectual honesty, or even just some normal human curiosity, we might have heard these naysayers asked questions like, “Why are we supposed to feel sorry for [...]

This time, Fr. Reese, SJ, former editor of America, has offered his own whine and cheese buffet over the MP:
Latin is a classic case of a peripheral issue. The Last Supper was not in Latin. For the first four centuries the Eucharist was celebrated in Greek. Why did the church switch from Greek to Latin? [...]

I link to him all the time, but I can’t seem to help myself. Fr. Z. is quickly becoming my other new hero, closely following the Holy Father.
I couldn’t possibly do justice in an excerpt to his analysis of this execrable take on Summorum Pontificum by National Catholic Distorter “Sistah” Joan Chittister, OSB, so you’ll just have [...]

You Have to Laugh

When they start foaming at the mouth five minutes after the Motu Proprio comes out. The reaction of progressives is one of the key elements putting the significance of this document in context for me. If they hate it that much, it must be good:
CATHOLICS AROUND the world should now have no illusions. Pope Benedict [...]
The Motu Proprio
Posted in Motu Mania on July 9, 2007 | 1 Comment »
I was flying all day on Saturday, and so missed the initial hours of jubilation at the release of Summorum Pontificum. By the time I got home and read it, I was so exhausted that it hardly sank in.
But I’m marinating in it now, letting the time difference between Arizona and Virginia peel away and [...]
