From time to time on the Catholic Internet, some new controversy arises pertaining to the Society of Saint Pius X. I’ve written before about the beauty of their liturgies and the strangeness of their canonical status. For most Catholics, the SSPX are not even on the radar. For those who find themselves newly drawn to…
I told you last month about Bishop Oliver Doeme’s vision of Christ in the adoration chapel, telling him that Boko Haram could be defeated with the Rosary: Bishop Oliver Dashe Doeme, head of the Diocese of Maiduguri in Nigeria’s Borno State, was in a chapel praying before the Blessed Sacrament last December when, he says, something…
In our defenses of Bishop Finn’s positive legacy in his diocese and the seemingly heavy-handed (and quite likely ideologically motivated) pursuit of his conviction and resignation, we’ve gotten a lot of pushback in the comment box. In various fora, including this one, I’ve had to respond to misconceptions about what it is that I actually believe about this…
The TruthRevolt blog ran a story yesterday on Archbishop Cupich’s event with Illinois Democratic Senator Dick Durbin this past Sunday: True to his claim that immigration reform is “God’s agenda,” Chicago Archbishop Blase Cupich has been cozying up to pro-abortion Democrats to get his social justice initiatives underway. On Sunday, the Archbishop joined Senate Minority Whip…
Back in February, Dominican Father Gustavo Gutierrez was invited to speak at the Vatican by Cardinal Gerhard Müller, prefect of the Congregation of the Doctrine of the Faith. Who is Fr. Guiterrez, you ask? He is the Peruvian priest, now in his late eighties, who is often credited with founding the liberation theology movement with the…
Saint Louis Catholic has the scoop and analysis: There is Never Enough Blood to Satisfy the Enemies of the Church The group SNAP, which uses the sex abuse scandals in the Church as the cudgel for promoting itself and its own agenda, has moved into the truly Orwellian today. Not content with the sacrifice of…
In the weeks that followed the Charlie Hebdo massacre in Paris, the American Freedom Defense Initiative booked the Curtis Culwell Center in Garland, Dallas for a free speech event offering a $10,000 cash prize to the person who could draw the best caricature of Mohammed, Islam’s revered “prophet.” Any depiction of Mohammed is considered blasphemous by…
An Orchestral Mass was offered in the Diocese of Charlotte, North Carolina this past Saturday at St. Thomas Aquinas Church. Mozart’s “Missa Brevis in B-flat Major” was sung by the Carolina Catholic Chorale, accompanied by chamber orchestra, under the direction of Mr. Thomas Savoy. The Missa Solemnis was offered by Fr. Matthew Kauth of the…
A couple weeks back, I excerpted a post from Oakes Spalding at his blog, Mahound’s Paradise, in which he questioned the purpose of Pope Francis’s proposed “Missionaries of Mercy”: Now, according to the Bull, the Mercy Squads will have additional powers that standard priests do not have, “the authority to pardon even those sins reserved…
Ryan Anderson has quickly become my favorite advocate for the traditional, natural (and moral) law concept of marriage. His ability to articulate common sense points persuasively and with confidence cuts through a lot of rhetorical nonsense. Anderson was at the Supreme Court yesterday, where oral arguments were heard in an attempt to determine whether there…
Anthony, a fellow Catholic from the UK, is trying to put together a new user-supported Latin Mass Directory. He has reached out asking for help finding volunteers to populate the map and make sure the information is accurate. From Anthony: About the Latin Mass Directory: The Latin Mass Directory is a new web site which…
