  • The Wave of the Future: a Reply to Archbishop
    The Wave of the Future: A Reply to Archbishop Weakland by Michael Davies Fall 1997 Issue Latin Mass Magazine [Michael Davies is president of the International Una Voce Federation and the author of many books and pamphlets on the Church and on the liturgy, including the three- volume Liturgical Revolution.] The cover article in the June 7-14 issue of the Jesuit journal America contained the good news that Archbishop Rembert Weakland is upset. Anything that upsets this Archbishop is good news for every Catholic with a true sensus Catholicus, a sense of what being a Catholic really means. Archbishop Weakland is upset because the liturgical renewal upon which, as a "bishop in the trenches," he had set such hope, has been "totally derailed." He admits that "after the Council abuses arose throughout the Church," but insists that these "all too frequent 'abuses' were, however, the product of zeal and exuberance, not of bad will." He also insists, tautologically: "I can honestly and truthfully say that the aberrations that arose in the late sixties from excessive zeal and exuberance had begun to run their course and to disappear by the early eighties." "The essentials of good liturgy," he continues, "were being emphasized and the needed sense of the sacred was being established. I had hoped that such a trend could be continued so that by the end of the 1980s we would be able to experience the effects of a true renewal." The renewal that the Archbishop had expected was, he lamented, "totally derailed" and his hopes were "shattered." He has no problem in locating the reason for the derailment.

  • My Reflection on the 2 Forms of Holy Mass by Jesse Romero M.A.©2020
    My Reflection on the 2 forms of Holy Mass By Jesse Romero M.A.©2020 www.jesseromero.com Introductory remarks: St Cardinal Henry Newman, in his autobiographical novel, Loss and Gain, - “I could attend Masses forever, and not be tired. It is not a mere form of words – it is a great action, the greatest action that can be on earth. It is not the invocation merely, but I dare use the word, the evocation of the Eternal. Here comes present on the altar in flesh and blood, before whom angels bow and devils tremble.” Venerable Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen - The death of Christ is an eternal act. We temporalize it; we spatialize it. Think of a great log that has been sawed in two. We see a number of circles on either side of that cut log. That’s the sacrifice of Christ. It runs through history, from the very beginning, when God made an animal skin for the first parents to hide their shame; it runs through all the symbolic sacrifices of the Jews; and it runs up to Calvary and from Calvary on into heaven itself. In fact, it began with the Lamb: slain, as it were, from the beginning of the worldi. The word Christmas comes from “Cristes Maesse,” an early English phrase that means Mass of Christ. The Catholic Mass is God instituted worship; idolatry is man instituted worship. The Mass is heaven on earth; the Mass transports us to spiritual Jerusalem. Let me explain, the crucifixion of our Lord on Calvary is to history the equivalent of throwing a rock in a still pond of water, the ripple effect on the water is like the Mass.

  • Russian Sunrise, Extremely Well Written and Highly Interesting, Is Truly a “Novel of Faith and Hope” As Mentioned on the Book’S Front Cover
    is novel presents Russia in a positive light. Yes, Russia needs consecration and resulting conversion so that it loses its status as God’s chosen instrument of punishment of the wicked world; but when this is realized, Russia will become an example for all the other nations and an instrument of bringing about a true Christian peace. – Michal Semin St. Joseph Institute Prague, Czech Republic Russian Sunrise, extremely well written and highly interesting, is truly a “novel of faith and hope” as mentioned on the book’s front cover. It o ers one very plausible scenario of how the Consecration of Russia can possibly and very practically take place, followed by its very positive e ects realized in the nation of Russia and with promise of major bene ts accruing to the world in the near future. Providing a very engaging and entertaining story, more importantly this book identi es what Russia could realistically look like following (and directly as a result of) the Consecration of Russia – becoming a truly Catholic Confessional State instead of the secular totalitarian state it currently is. Sparing no details, the author then de nes exactly and in many speci cs what this actually means for most aspects of Russian life, including in terms of: politics, economics, nance, commerce, education, healthcare, law, culture, etc. I read the entire 400-page book in one week, o en staying up very late at night, unable to put this captivating novel down. – Andrew M.
