I think the importance of this letter has been overlooked. It is basically a papal apologetic of the new form of the mass and an explanation of its spirituality. It presents liturgy very much as an encounter with Christ which heals and binds; as a recreation of the Last Supper.

Tbh there are a lot of disturbing elements in Lefebvre's career. He called the popes antichrists and said collaborating with them was the devil's work. He called himself a rebel and wrote a book "accusing" the council. It's hard not to notice the Luciferian words and patterns.

The concept that the original, biblical, natural prayer posture could be forbidden to laity boggles my mind.

I realized along the way that discouraging vocations is baked into the cake for certain progressive Catholic ideologues. They want us to run out of celibate male priests, to make way for the married women priests. They think a priest shortage would force Rome’s hand.
The number of seminarians in a North Carolina diocese has declined by 19.6% since 2023-24, according to a brochure included with a new fundraising letter written by the diocese’s bishop.
Bishop Michael Martin, O.F.M. Conv., was installed as bishop of Charlotte in May 2024, when the diocese had 51 seminarians. The number of seminarians then declined to 45 in 2024-25, 44 in 2025-26, and 41 in 2026-27, according to the brochure.
Bishop Martin’s predecessor, Bishop Peter Jugis, governed the diocese from 2003 until the spring of 2024. Under his leadership, the number of seminarians increased steadily from 16 in 2015-16 to the peak of 51 in 2023-24. The current number of seminarians is the lowest since 2020-21.

Today's new #HoPWaG episode looks at the occasionalism of Malebranche: why did he think that God is the only cause that can make anything happen? His arguments are surprisingly good as it turns out...

It is a very strange declaration of faith, unbalanced, with questionable propositions, nothing of the limpid beauty of Paul VI's Credo.

I may have to revise my opinion on facing the people. If it's good enough for Ethiopians it's good enough for me.

Just fyi, Trump is going to walk out of this period of American history hated and vilified by everyone, but particularly his own side. That's his historical role in this political collapse.
Lucky for you, Trump's job isn't to save the republic by appointing Matt Gaetz.
