When I read about the Catholic rites of Richard the Third’s time (he was a very Orthodox Catholic) I could weep with what we have lost. I sigh with disgust with what we lost circa 1967.
Because really good Christians speak Latin just like Jesus did? The only acceptable sacrifice is a contrite heart and a soul redeemed by the Blood of Jesus. All else is window dressing
I actually read Vatican II many years ago. Since I am not a Roman Catholic it was sort of an exercise in concentration and mental discipline for me though I also wanted to see what the Roman Catholic Church ACTUALLY claimed as truth not what nominal Catholics thought it believed.
“For in the night in which he
was betrayed, he took Bread; and when
he had given thanks, he brake it, and
gave it to his disciples, saying, Take, eat,
this is my Body, which is given for you; Do
this in remembrance of me. Likewise, after
supper, he took the Cup; and when he
had given thanks, he gave it to them, saying,
Drink ye all of this; for this is my Blood
of the New Testament, which is shed for
you, and for many, for the remission of sins;
Do this, as oft as ye shall drink it, in remembrance
of me.”
This is what I was taught as a child. Is there something wrong with it?
Thank you for the very essay from a great journal. The author gives many reasons why the Roman rite is mysterious and how it is sad that many cities have few opportunities to attend the Roman rite.
‘The ascendency of Pope Francis to the Chair of St. Peter has always been the endgame of the Modernists.’ False. The Modernists are simply Masons and they got their man in the Chair with Giovanni Montini. Thankfully, the Lord prevented Paul VI from doing more damage. Sadly, the Modernists aka the Masons are having another shot with Francis. Thankfully, the Lord has Francis and the Masons on a short leash. Trust me: they feel the pinch of the Lord’s leash daily and curse him, just as a young beagle puppy strains against his leash and growls at his owner.
If possible, attend a Roman rite in your town and support the FSSP in Nebraska.
