  • Cardinal: Archbishop Lefebvre Will One Day Be Recognized As a Doctor of the Church; Was “Prophetic”
    Cardinal: Archbishop Lefebvre Will One Day Be Recognized as a Doctor of the Church; Was “Prophetic” Professor Armin Schwibach, a teacher of philosophy and Rome correspondent for the Austrian website Kath.net, has reported on Twitter that a cardinal has recently made to him some supportive comments about Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre, the deceased founder of the Society of St. Pius X. On August 21, Schwibach wrote: “As a cardinal recently stated: Archbishop Lefebvre will one day recognized as a Doctor of the Church. Therefore, ‘others’ have to measure up to him.” Catholic Family News reached out to Professor Schwibach, and he confirmed that indeed these words have only recently been spoken to him by a cardinal of the Catholic Church. On another occasion, according to Schwibach, this same cardinal added that Lefebvre was “prophetic.” However, the cardinal spoke these words privately does not wish to say so in public. This reliable fact, as revealed by Schwibach, is of great importance for the Catholic Church since it shows that there are other high-ranking prelates besides Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò and Bishop Athanasius Schneider who are seeing the validity of Archbishop Lefebvre’s own sustained criticism of the Second Vatican Council, of aspects of the post- conciliar Magisterium, and of the Novus Ordo Mass. Time for a Respectful Hearing It is to be hoped that this cardinal, as well as other prelates who are thinking in similar terms, would come out candidly into the public. It is time that this traditionalist position, which has been suppressed and ostracized for so many decades, to now be respectfully heard.

  • The Attractiveness of the Tridentine Mass by Alfons Cardinal Stickler
    The Attractiveness of the Tridentine Mass by Alfons Cardinal Stickler Cardinal Alfons Stickler, retired prefect of the Vatican Archives and Library, is normally reticent. Not so during his trip to the New York area in May [1995]. Speaking at a conference co-sponsored by Fr. John Perricon's ChistiFideles and Howard Walsh's Keep the Faith, the Cardinal scored Catholics within the fold who have undermined the Church—and in the final third of his speech made clear his view that the "Mass of the post-Conciliar liturgical commission" was a betrayal of the Council fathers. The robust 84-year-old Austrian scholar, a Salesian who served as peritus to four Vatican II commissions (including Liturgy), will celebrate his 60th anniversary as a priest in 1997. Among his many achievements: The Case for Clerical Celibacy (Ignatius Press), which documents that the celibate priesthood was mandated from the earliest days of the Church. Cardinal Stickler lives at the Vatican. The Tridentine Mass means the rite of the Mass which was fixed by Pope Pius V at the request of the Council of Trent and promulgated on December 5, 1570. This Missal contains the old Roman rite, from which various additions and alterations were removed. When it was promulgated, other rites were retained that had existed for at least 200 years. Therefore, is more correct to call this Missal the liturgy of Pope Pius V. Faith and Liturgy From the very beginning of the Church, faith and liturgy have been intimately connected. A clear proof of this can be found in the Council of Trent itself.

  • Why the New Rite of Episcopal Consecration Is Valid Fr
    ANGELUSTHE MAGAZINE REPRINT WHY THE NEW RITE OF EPISCOPAL CONSECRATION IS VALID Fr. Pierre-Marie, O.P. This article wishes to settle a debate that has been circulating in traditional Catholic circles. Some writers have examined the new rite of episcopal consecration and concluded that it must be invalid. Since this would cause manifest prob- lems if it were true and due to the heightened awareness of such a theory, The Angelus presents (for the first time in English) a study of this question concluding that it is valid. 2 This article was translated exclusively by Angelus Press from Sel de la Terre (No.54., Autumn 2005, pp.72-129). Fr. Pierre-Marie, O.P., is a member of the traditional Dominican monastery at Avrillé, France, several of whose members were ordained by Archbishop Lefebvre and which continues to receive its priestly ordinations from the bishops serving the Society of Saint Pius X which Archbishop Lefebvre founded. He is a regular contributor to their quarterly review, Sel de la Terre (Salt of the Earth). The English translations contained in the various tables were prepared with the assistance of H.E. Bishop Richard Williamson, Dr. Andrew Senior (professor at St. Mary’s College, St. Mary’s, Kansas), and Fr. Scott Gardner, SSPX. ollowing the Council, in 1968 a new rite for Orders or is merely “a sacramental,” an ecclesiastical the ordination of bishops was promulgated. ceremony wherein the powers of the episcopate, It was, in fact, the first sacrament to undergo its “bound” in the simple priest, are “freed” for the “aggiornamento,” or updating.

    CATHOLIC LIFE NEWSLETTER St. Edmund Campion Pray for Us Dear Parents and Carers The end of our academic year is not how we envisaged when we started out on our school journey on the 2nd September 2019. Every aspect of school life has been disrupted – not least those students who had been preparing for their GCSE’s or ‘A’ level exams. From a Catholic Life point of view we were unable to complete our usual liturgical and prayer services that we had planned for Lent in preparation for the great feast of Easter. However, through the modern technology that we now have we have been able to maintain our links to our families and friends, our school and our church. Praying together as a member of all these groups we belong to has been made possible by the live streaming of mass and other resources for prayer and reflection that have been made available to us. Communication between us can take many forms and I would like to share with you this uplifting blessing for us from those who cannot communicate verbally but use Makaton signing: https://youtu.be/va048-XxFTI As we approach the end of term CAFOD (Catholic Agency for Overseas Development) have produced a National Assembly for all children in our country. The theme of the assembly is for our summer to be a ‘TIME OF HOPE’.

  • 2 Page May Letter
    Fontgombault had begun to sell the very stones of the Abbey walls (July 2, 1791). But the work of destruction was not yet complete. It was about this time that an impious hand sought to destroy the statue of Mary above the northern door of the church. He positioned a ladder and climbed up in order to carry out the practice, quite common with the revolutionaries, of breaking off the head and members of a piece of art that offended him and the new ideas of those who had no more need of God and His Saints. As he swung his hammer, however, he suddenly lost his balance and fell off the ladder, hurting himself mortally when he hit the ground far below. As he lay dying, the poor man regretted in an instant the evil deed he had done and begged The Story of Our Lady of a Happy Death God, through the intercession of the Virgin Mother of God whom he had so gravely offended, to forgive him. Such was his change of heart, his conversion at the moment of death, that the Notre Dame du Bien Mourir witnesses recognized in the event a special grace from heaven. From that moment on the statue May 2007 has been known as Our Lady of a Happy Death. Dear Friends of Clear Creek Monastery, Less than a century later a new monastic community of Trappists took possession of Fontgombault Abbey and began to restore the buildings. By this time the miraculous statue had been moved It has been said that there is a vocation for places just as inside the church and cement heads were made to replace those of the Virgin and of her Child there is a vocation for people, for souls.
