Cardinal Cobo Turns the Consecration into a Theatrical Display: On 15 August, Cardinal José Cobo of Madrid delivered a liturgically abusive, theatrical presentation of the consecration at the Eucharist for the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary in the Parish Church of the Virgen de la Paloma in Madrid. While saying the words of consecration - “Take this, all of you, and eat of it, for this is my Body” - Cardinal Cobo looked towards the congregation and extended the bread towards them. He made a similar gesture with the chalice while saying, “Take this, all of you, and drink from it.” The Eucharist was broadcast live on Telemadrid.

“Roman Mass Can Never Be Suppressed”: Masses in the traditional Roman rite are full of “young people, young married couples, and families with many children,” Cardinal Raymond Burke told Michael Knowles on August 15. Returning young Catholics “want the traditional liturgy,” he said. While there is no question that the Novus Ordo is valid, the older rite “communicates more fully and more richly the divine action.” Burke expects “an ever greater number of Catholics” to worship as Catholics did “for over 15 centuries”. Looking to Leo XIV, Cardinal Burke urges Catholics to make their wishes known “to their bishops and to the Holy Father most of all,” while making clear they are not questioning Vatican II. He insists the Mass “was never suppressed and never could be.” Burke recalls a bishop with “no attraction” to the Roman rite nevertheless describing its adherents as “some of our most devout Catholics” and asking: “Why would I deny that to them?”
Cardinal Burke to Michael Knowles on traditional Roman Mass: “The most important thing for those who love the traditional Latin Mass is to make known to their bishops - and to the Holy Father most of all - their desire to worship according to this form and that they’re not calling into question the validity of the Second Vatican Council”
@V.R.S. And if we look at these facts, this novus ordo is no longer just novus ordo, but is no-Roman-rite-novus ordo. Which certainly means anti-Roman-rite-novus-ordo. Which fits very well with some other gospel than that of our Lord Jesus Christ according to the Apostolic Tradition. Neither at Easter, nor at Pentecost, nor at the … Roman Canon = Roman Catholic Church.
@brhenry But first we have the anathemas of Trent against changing the Catholic rites to new ones and against Masses in the vulgar language. So, if the Bugnini-Montini rites were/are anathema why should we - as Catholics, not neo-modernists - care about them?
Saturday, 16th August 1913 Traveling Salesman for Montags Tells of Conversation With Frank, The Atlanta Constitution Atlanta Constitution August 16th, 1913 Harry Gottheimer, a traveling salesman for the Montag firm and the pencil factory, took the stand to tell of an engagement he had made with Frank on the afternoon of the murder. "Do you remember seeing Frank on April 26?" he was asked by Arnold. "Yes, I saw him at Montag's about 10 o'clock that morning." "Did you talk with him?" "Yes, I was at the desk in the office and he came over to speak to me. I asked him of two important orders which had been forwarded and he said that if I would come at 2 o'clock that afternoon he would see about them." Mr. Hooper arose to voice an objection on the grounds that the statement was self-serving and that a similar statement made relative to words of Mary Phagan had been ruled out previously by the judge. After an argument by Mr. Rosser and his colleague, however, Judge Roan ruled that the evidence …More
[advaticanum] Massimiliano Menichetti, Deputy Director of the Editorial Directorate of the Dicastery for Communication and head of Vatican Radio–Vatican News, has reacted to the new Massachusetts law that legalises abortion up until birth. Menichetti made the comments in an article for Vatican News entitled Abortion is never a real choice. He opened the editorial by commenting on a mother who had protected the life of her newborn son with her own body after the recent earthquake in Cali, Colombia. He described the images appearing online of the woman and child being brought out alive as “stories that underscore truth, beauty, communion”. He contrasted this “fraternal, supportive society, intent on saving, taking care of, taking responsibility for the other” with recent events in Massachusetts, where abortion has been legalised for any reason up until birth. Menichetti said: “About 4,300 kilometers away, in Massachusetts in the United States, the scene is completely different: it is …More

Exposition and Refutation of the Principal Post-Conciliar Doctrines I believe that the doctrines which emerged or were imposed after the Second Vatican Council constitute a rupture with previous Catholic teaching. I do not regard them as mere pastoral developments, but as doctrinal novelties incompatible with the traditional Magisterium. Here I set out the principal ones, the reasons why I reject them, and their practical implications.
VII was a pastoral council in response to the modern era (~1700–mid-20th century, enlightenment, reason, science, industrialization, individual rights, belief in progress and objective truth). Nothing new binding on our conscience. We are now in the post-modern era (~1960s–present, skepticism toward universal truths and institutions, pluralism, relativism, emphasis on identity, language, perspective and social construction). It's no wonder that the youth prefer Tradition and the TLM.
Another “rave in the nave” took place in Anglican. Canterbury Cathedral yesterday evening, on the Feast of the Assumption. The “silent disco” of 80s music had two sessions running from 6.30pm to midnight. In 1170, St Thomas Becket was martyred in the cathedral.
[onepeterfive.com] Since before I was Catholic, I was a defender of the Latin Mass. When I was Eastern Orthodox, my spiritual father introduced me to Michael Davies, and I even got a copy of Fr. Cekada’s Work of Human Hands. In this latter text, for instance, I saw the changes to the old Latin Mass very conspicuously in the suppression of the “fires of hell” from the Collect for St. Nicholas. Back then I grew in my liturgical devotion to the ancient Roman Rite by my exposure to it at the “classic” TLM site, SanctaMissa.org. But when I came into communion with Rome in 2013, I was not a traditionalist zealot. The parish I attended was a “Reverent Novus Ordo” which had both Latin and English chant, and, coming from the Eastern liturgical piety of vernacular liturgy (in the Orthodox diaspora), I found this celebration of the new rite to be edifying. As I continued to study the issues, however, I found more and more difficulties with the text of the Novus Ordo Missae. The “straw that broke …More
Friday, 15th August 1913 Two More Character Witnesses Are Introduced by the Defense, The Atlanta Constitution Atlanta Constitution August 15th, 1913 Another character witness was introduced by the defense in Harry E. Lewis, of Brooklyn, N. Y., former neighbor of Frank, and a former assistant to the district attorney. "Did you ever know Frank?" he was asked by Mr. Arnold. "Yes, for about twelve years." "How?" "He was my neighbor." "Did you know him until he came south? What was his character?" "Good." Cross-examination by Mr. Hooper. "Have you known him since he came south?" "No." "You may come off." The second character witness of the Thursday session was Herbert Lasher, of Fleischman, N. Y., a former college mate of the suspected superintendent. "Did you know Frank?" "Yes, I was at Cornell with him." "You lived in the same house with him?" "Yes, and ate at the same table." "What was his character?" "Good." Cross-examination. "Have you known him since he left Cornell?" "Yes, I corresponded …More

A nine-month voyage to the shores of Iran. ---- Well, we’ve actually finished fighting. The crew of the aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln is freaking out. “I hope I don’t wake up tomorrow,” say the terrified sailors; some are trying to jump overboard. So what happened, you ask? It’s just a mission off the coast of Iran that’s already been dragging on for nine months. ---- The sailors’ wives have panicked. “I hope I don’t wake up tomorrow,” a sailor from the aircraft carrier messaged his wife via instant messaging.
