AMDG Agony in Albany Revisitedmay 04 Roman Catholic Faithful, Inc. / AMDG May 2004 Albany newsletter AD MAJOREM DEI GLORIAM Agony In Albany Revisited Roman Catholic Faithful, Inc. Spring 2004 Roman Catholic Faithful, Inc. / AMDG May 2004 Albany newsletter Our Mission Statement Roman Catholic Faithful, Inc. (RCF) is a lay organization, with many religious members, dedicated to promoting orthodox Catholic teaching and fighting het- erodoxy and corruption within the Catholic hierarchy. Our Philosophy While we accept the authority of the Holy Father and all bishops in union with him, we will not sit idly by, nor blindly follow, while many in the hierarchy allow the Holy Catholic Church to be torn apart and assaulted by the forces of Modernism, Syncretism, Heresy, and the gross immorality of some of its clergy. As parents and teachers, we will not allow our Catholic youth to be robbed of their faith or have their innocence destroyed in the name of “tolerance”, “ecumenism”, “diversity” or any other politically correct ideology of the day. We object to individuals or groups of individuals being given access to Catho- lic schools, churches, and Church property to promote any belief, teaching, or idea contrary to Catholic teaching as defined by two thousand years of Tradi- tion and Church teaching. We expect every Catholic priest to follow the disci- plines of the Catholic Church as he promised. We expect every bishop to do all he can to safeguard the souls of our children by exercising his authority to ensure proper teaching within Catholic schools and parish religion programs. We insist that Catholic colleges and universities either teach the True Faith or cease calling themselves Catholic. We object to any priest treating the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass as his per- sonal possession by adding, changing, or removing any part of the Mass on his own authority. Furthermore, we assert that the right of every Catholic priest to celebrate the Traditional Latin Mass must be recognized, and we consider it a grave scandal that such a right is not recognized while at the same time countless liturgical and theological novelties are promoted by many in the hi- erarchy. We will do everything within our power to undo the last thirty-plus years of watered-down Catholicism that has been foisted upon us. We will not separate ourselves from the One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church; we will stand and fight and demand what is rightfully ours. In that regard, we insist at this time in history that those in positions of authority in the Church proclaim loudly the infallibly defined dogma that “outside the Church there is no sal- vation”, as that dogma has been taught and explained by the Church for centu- ries. We insist that the Catholic media, especially diocesan newspapers, present au- thentically Catholic perspectives on social issues and current events and cease being used as forums for heresy and blasphemy. We express our love for the clergy, and refuse to be silent while holy priests and nuns are persecuted by the modernist establishment holding power within the layers of bureaucracy existing in chancery offices throughout much of the world. At the same time, we refuse to be blind to the fact that a pattern of gross immorality exists among many religious, and that among their victims have been children, and that the hierarchy has for years covered up and en- abled these predators to attack God’s children. For this we cry out to heaven for justice, and pledge to our last breath to seek out and expose these preda- tors. We acknowledge Jesus Christ as our Lord and King, and will fight for His so- cial reign in society. We adopt as our slogan the words of Blessed Miguel Pro just before his murder by the Masonic revolutionaries of his land: VIVA CRISTO REY! 2 Roman Catholic Faithful, Inc. / AMDG May 2004 Albany newsletter AMDG is the newsletter of Roman Catholic Faithful SPECIAL ISSUE and is sent out to our supporters free of charge.

Those who reject even one of the truths of the Catholic faith are, by definition, not Catholic and therefore could not possibly comprehend the depravity of Bishop Howard Hubbard’s actions. Saturday, February 14, 2004, Father John Minkler left a message on my voice mail asking me to help him with Bishop Howard Hubbard. Unfortunately, I did not check my voice mail until Monday morning and Fr. Minkler was already dead. My first trip to Albany was November 24, 1996. I was invited by a group of Catholics from Oneonta New York. The group was headed by Mrs. Rita Armstrong. Rita and her friends were concerned about the condition of the Church in Albany and wanted RCF’s help. After meeting with local Catholics, who provided me with a list of abuses too long to mention here, I at- tended an evening “college Mass” at St. Mary’s in Oneonta. Bishop Howard Hubbard celebrated Mass with Fr. Brian Raiche present. The first thing that caught my attention once I arrived at the parish for Mass was a sign posted on the inside door of St. Mary’s. The sign on the door stated: “if you want to be an extraordinary minister, show up 15 minutes before Mass.” The sign made it clear that anyone who wished to do so could distribute the Eucharist, and those priests about to celebrate Mass , at the very least, had little if any respect for and possibly no belief in the Real Pres- ence. During Mass six women dressed in white gowns danced around the Altar and through the sanctuary *. It was a scandal. Prior to Mass I had spoken to parishioners and was informed that the bread used at Mass was made by the parishioners and included sugar and honey as well as other ingredients that, according to Church law, rendered the Mass invalid.* The bread was of such a texture that Bishop Hubbard struggled to tear it apart at this pretend Mass. The parish was packed with impressionable college kids who witnessed this disgrace perpetrated by their bishop.

The first surviving notice of the feast comes from a learned theologian of Paris named Joannes Belethus (1135-1182), written in the period between 1160 and 1164.

  • Vestiges of Midsummer Ritual in Motets for John the Baptist
    Early Music History (2011) Volume 30. Cambridge University Press doi:10.1017/S0261127911000027 M A A Email: [email protected] FIRE, FOLIAGE AND FURY: VESTIGES OF MIDSUMMER RITUAL IN MOTETS FOR JOHN THE BAPTIST The thirteenth-century motet repertory has been understood on a wide spectrum, with recent scholarship amplifying the relationship between the liturgical tenors and the commentary in the upper voices. This study examines a family of motets based on the tenors IOHANNE and MULIERUM from the feast of the Nativity of John the Baptist (24 June). Several texts within this motet family make references to well-known traditions associated with the pagan festival of Midsummer, the celebration of the summer solstice. Allusions to popular solstitial practices including the lighting of bonfires and the public criticism of authority, in addition to the cultural awareness of the sun’s power on this day, conspicuously surface in these motets, particularly when viewed through the lens of the tenor. The study suggests the further obfuscation of sacred and secular poles in the motet through attentiveness to images of popular, pre-Christian rituals that survive in these polyphonic works. In the northern French village of Jumièges from the late Middle Ages to the middle of the nineteenth century, a peculiar fraternal ritual took place. Each year on the evening of the twenty-third of June, the Brotherhood of the Green Wolf chose its new chief. Arrayed in a brimless green hat in the shape of a cone, the elected master led the men to a priest and choir; Portions of this study were read at the Medieval and Renaissance Conference at the Institut für Musikwissenschaft, University of Vienna, 8–11 August 2007 and at the University of Chicago’s Medieval Workshop on 19 May 2006.

I was intrigued to find that many of the first baptisms were performed by Jesuit priests with French names: Jouin, Daubresse, Doucet, Bienvenue. The pastor was Irish, Fr. John Ryan, which was expected in a congregation that was almost all Irish. But why were French priests here? The short answer is that they were from St. John's College (now Fordham University) and they were mostly French because Archbishop Hughes wanted Jesuits from the Province of France not the American Province to teach at St.

Princess Beatrix of the Netherlands, Governor Nelson Rockefeller and Mayor Erastus Corning, September, 1959. “The South Mall will be the greatest single governmental office complex history has ever known.” – Mayor Erastus Corning 2nd In September of 1959, Princess Beatrix of the Netherlands came to Albany, New York to commemorate the 350th anniversary of Henry Hudson’s exploratory voyage on the Hudson River at the Hudson-Champlain Celebration. While giving the young royal a tour of downtown Albany, Governor Nelson A. Rockefeller felt embarrassed by the deteriorating South End neighborhood referred to by some as “The Gut,” an area of many dilapidated buildings and vacant structures. Albany Mayor Erastus Corning 2nd told the Knickerbocker News in 1979 that: “Rockefeller thought [the] buildings the Princess and those with her saw were not as good-looking or appropriate for a capital city as he thought they should be.” In an attempt to revitalize Albany and transform it into a city outsiders would deem worthy of being New York’s capital, Rockefeller proposed the construction of a large, modern governmental complex. In order to create this lavish site he envisioned, Rockefeller seized 98.5 acres of land in Albany’s South End through eminent domain in 1962 and demolition soon began. As a result, thousands of families and business owners lost their properties and were forced to relocate.
