Check out this document from The Congregation for the Evangelization of Peoples.
It’s a look at the status of the old Mass through the lens of Summorum Pontificum, and there are quite a few telling statements in there. I’ll give you two (with my emphasis) and then you can, properly motivated, read and enjoy it for [...]

The Holy Father is quickly becoming my hero.
Telling it like it is, hurt feelings notwithstanding. That’s his job, and he’s apparently not afraid to do it.
Tomorrow, Tomorrow, I Love You, Tomorrow!

Now that I’ve got your attention, I have to say I’m not feeling nearly as exuberant as little orphan Annie about this, but Fr. Z has the tip on a story by the very tradition-sympathetic Telegraph Blogger Damien Thompson. Thompson suggests that tomorrow might just be M-Day. Why does it matter any more, after so many false alarms? Because [...]
Crunchy Conservatism

Speaking of Rod Dreher, I picked up his Crunchy Cons from the library yesterday. I’ve been meaning to read it for a while. Rod and I exchanged a couple of e-mails about it before it was published, so despite the fact that it was prior to my sudden agrarian epiphany I had some interest going [...]
Enthronement of the Sacred Heart

The Feast of the Sacred Heart will soon be upon us. It falls on the Friday following the second Sunday after Pentecost, which this year will be June 15th. You have just enough time to prepare for the enthronement of the Sacred Heart of Jesus on Its feast day, and I urge you to consider [...]

That’s the topic I’ve attempted to tackle in two rather lengthy parts at the Catholic Restorationists blog. Rather than exploring the academic questions of liturgy in depth, I decided to take an experiential approach. You can find it here:

Rod Dreher on Tradition
Posted in Catholic, Liturgy, Motu Mania, Restoration, Tradition on May 27, 2007 | 2 Comments »
The Rod Dreher article on tradition that I recently mentioned was published today. While he didn’t use any of the content I sent him (to his own detriment, of course ; ) and his approach takes into account various religious traditions, the return of the Traditional Latin Mass is a centerpiece of the article. [...]
The Value of Waiting

Fr. Zuhlsdorf highlights some recent tradition-friendly appointments to certain dicasteries, and brings up a point that is often overlooked amongst the motu mania:
These are both English speakers. They are not diocesan. They are publicly favorable toward the older form of Mass and not unimportant things like ad orientem altars. They [...]
Resisting Feminism
Posted in Catholic, Family, Restoration on May 22, 2007 | 1 Comment »
Jeff Culbreath has a great post this morning entitled The Art of Resisting Feminism. I work in an industry dominated by women – over 70 percent – and I can feel it triggering the instinctive responses bred into me. I can anticipate the vitriol with which something like this would be received. Feminists have done [...]
Gaining Steam

The International Herald Tribune, self-described as the “international voice of The New York Times“, has picked up on Cardinal Dario Castrillon Hoyos’ comments about the freeing of the Mass.
