UK

Altar Girls are forbidden in the Old Right according to a letter of the Secretary of the Pontifical Commission Ecclesia Dei, Monsignor Guido Pozzo. The letter is posted on the website of Fr. John Zuhlsdorf. Monsignor Pozzo refers to the new instruction Universae Ecclesia. In paragraph 28 it is explained that the Motu Proprio Summorum Pontificum derogates from those provisions of law, connected with the Sacred Rites, promulgated from 1962. Thus according to Pozzo the permission given for Altar Girls by the Congregation for Liturgy in 1994, does not regard the Old Right.

The First Worldwide Emergency

Hungary

Every year 105,000 Christians are killed because of their faith. This figure was disclosed by Italian sociologist Massimo Introvigne. Introvigne was speaking at the “International Conference on Inter-religious dialogue between Christians, Jews and Muslims,” sponsored by the Hungarian presidency of the European Union (EU) in Gödöllo, near Budapest. “Every five minutes”, Introvigne said in his speech, “a Christian is killed for his faith." The figure does not include the victims of civil wars, or wars between nations, but only the people put to death because they are Christians. Introvigne continued: “If it is not recognized that the persecution against Christians is the first worldwide emergency with regard to religious discrimination and violence, dialogue between religions will only produce wonderful symposia but no concrete results."

Masons Threaten French Church

France

Cardinal-archbishop André Vingt-Trois of Paris has recently spoken of “a decline of civilization" referring to the new French bill on bioethics that permits a wider scientific research on living embryos. The Cardinal received an answer from the so-called Grand-Orient, the biggest Masonic organization in France. The organisation blasted "the obscurantism of the Church" and its "contempt for laicity". It ended with a direct threat by saying: “In this debate, the Church must stay home, the peace for her is at that price".
