Félicitations pour votre entretien

Among the atrocity of abortion, which must cry out to the ends of the earth in defense of God's innocent and defenseless children....we hope and pray that our Holy Father will Mandate that Communion be received on the tongue while kneeling only.

@mychele
you state; "now being short of helpers, insecurity resides especially in the older communicants. In this case I would not consider the practice of communion in the hand irreverent."

being short of "helpers" has nothing to do (and is an excuse widely used and promoted by modernist liberals) with giving God the honor and reverence which is His due.

I never knew any elderly that were "insecure" about receiving Communion the ways they grew up knowing it to be the Norm. If fact, I have witnessed THREE priests sitting in the sanctuary while LAY Distributors gave out Communion. They should be Ashamed! Many modernist clergy want and DO pass their Responsiblities onto Lay people when they can surely do it themselves!

Most Reverend Eminnence,
Congratulations of your enlightning interview. Please allow me to bring a point. If the practice of'' communion in the hand'' is considered to be irreverent for sacred things, I think that in the New mass, many communicants use this practice mainly because of ignorance. Therefore, it would be appreciated to be informed by the celebrant of the proper way.
In the past, we used to receive the holy communion at the balustrade with an altar boy holding a paten which reassured us in case the host would fall. Now being short of helpers, insecurity resides especially in the older communicants.In this case I would not consider the practice of'' communion in the hand as irreverent.

Most Reverend Eminence,

This was the first time I have ever heard you speak and I now have a better understanding why you were chosen to be Prefect of the Apostolic Signatura in Rome which is categorized as the highest judicial post in the Church short of the Holy Father himself. You are a scholarly man obviously grounded in Scholastic theology, diplomatic, mild mannered with a profound understanding of the current state of affairs within the Catholic Church.

I would like to focus only on the first segment of your interview.
In speaking of “the ongoing battle for the defense of human life” you said:

The bishops not only have the right to make this discourse in public....but they have the duty for the sake of the world...to announce this moral truth.

Your Eminence, do you believe bishops (particularly here in the United States) are effectively “announc[ing] this moral truth”?

If bishops are not fulfilling their duty for Catholics much less for the sake of the world, does the Church have any means to “modify” certain bishops' failure?

I am not a scholar nor am I a diplomat. I am a very ordinary Catholic with an extraordinary passion for truth and skill at cutting through rhetoric in order to uncover the truth. The current abysmal state of affairs regarding Catholic pro-abortion politicians who function with little or no sanctions imposed by their bishops is a scandal with worldwide implications. The fact that the Catholic laity in the United States is so poorly catechized that they voted in the majority for the most pro-abortion and pro-homosexual president in history is equally scandalous.

Why are the Catholic bishops (exceptions duly noted) silent in the face of such tremendous scandals?

With respect to abortion, can you Eminence do something about bishops who are failing to “announce this moral truth”?

Aside from you Eminence, who is there in authority who has the power and the will to affect much needed reform within the Church?

If the Church chooses to wait and wait and relies on the 'good will' of negligent bishops, how many innocent unborn babies will be killed as a result of that delay?

Mille Grazie
Yours in Christ,

HC

Lose members? The catholic church has lost hundreds of millions of members worldwide BECAUSE of V2. The province of Quebec went from 90% catholic to 4% attendance with a very anti-catholic stance because none of them actually understand Catholic Teachings anymore.

Meanwhile The Society of St. Pius X has grown from one Archbishop and few priests to over 1 million members and continueing to grow in that same time period. They Reject V2 and Novus Ordo mass. Not only are they growing but privately I've witnessed many people who are not members that sympathize with SSPX.

I saw my first Tridentine Mass recently and I am going to keep going, it's very refreshing and everyone knows why they are there.

Hello good folks!

I am Brazilian, read well english but am not fluent on it, so cant understand 100% the discourse of our deared speaker.

Where are the subtitles? =) Youtube has technology to put subtitles automatically and it help very much some persons like me. =)

Good energies for all and Happy New Year,

@tilarick,

'Latin' does not define the Extraordinary Form, since the Novus Ordo can also be said in Latin. With regards Vatican II, one has to go back to what Vatican II actually taught, instead of a popular conception of what it taught. Here's what the Constitution on the Sacred Liturgy, Sacrosanctum Concilium states:

"36. 1. Particular law remaining in force, the use of the Latin language is to be preserved in the Latin rites.
54.... Nevertheless steps should be taken so that the faithful may also be able to say or to sing together in Latin those parts of the Ordinary of the Mass which pertain to them."

"Back to the people" is also not the intention, since the reference point is facing away from the people but towards Christ in the Liturgical East (the sun symbolizing the Son). The people pray together with the priest and focus together on Christ in the Eucharistic Sacrifice.

Papabile?

I really really like this Cardinal.

That said, I hasten to add, long live Pope Benedict XVI.
