Thank you! 2 OUR LADY OF LOURDES PARISH FAMILY DE PERE, WISCONSIN Vetus Ordo and Novus Ordo Most people probably don’t know what I’m talking about when I say, “Vetus Ordo and Novus Ordo.” In church terms, this refers to the old order of the Mass (Vetus Ordo) and the new order of the Mass according to the Second Vatican Council (Novus Ordo). Last week, Pope Francis came out with a Motu Proprio that restored limits on the celebration of the traditional Mass according to the Missal that was used before the Second Vatican Council. The Pope’s decision caused a lot of turmoil among traditional groups. What exactly is going on here? After the second Vatican Council, Pope Paul VI signed an Apostolic Constitution that introduced a reversed Roman Missal for the Roman Catholic Church. Although the original of this Missal is in Latin, the church allows translations in local languages. We all know this Missal as it is the Missal we use here at Lourdes and in other parishes throughout the world. However, after the Council, a group of priests and lay people wanted to continue to celebrate the Mass as it was preceding the council and refused to use the new Missal. The group, under the leadership of Bishop Marcel Lefebvre, became an official movement in 1970 and called themselves the Society of Saint Pius X. The Holy See made an exception for this group so that they could celebrate the Mass in Latin according to the Missal that predates the Second Vatican Council. Although there were tensions between the Holy See and the Society of Saint Pius X all the time, the movement existed within the church until 1988. In that year, Bishop Lefebvre and a couple of fellow bishops decided to ordain four bishops without the permission of Pope John Paul II, and that act automatically excommunicated Lefebvre and his companions. Since that time, the Society of Pius X is not in union with the Roman Catholic Church anymore. This act of disobedience also caused a split within the society because a part of this group wanted to remain in the Catholic Church. That group is known as the Society of Saint Peter. After the break under Pope John Paul II, Pope Benedict XVI wanted to repair the schism and during his pontificate, he started negotiations with the Society of Saint Pius X. In 2007, the pope came out with a Motu Proprio that granted greater freedom to priests to celebrate the Traditional Latin Mass in the Roman Catholic Church. Despite the good intentions of the pope to restore the union between the Church and the Society of Saint Pius X, his decision backfired. The negotiations with Saint Pius X got stuck because they could not come to an agreement about several other topics in the church. For many people within the Saint Pius X community, it is not only the liturgy of the Second Vatican Council that they reject, but it is also the council itself. Media who investigated the traditional groups have also demonstrated that extreme right-wing ideology is above average within these groups. Pope Francis points out in a letter, which came with the Motu Proprio, how the Traditional Mass has become divisive within the church, and he is right. I know about two abbey communities that fell apart because of fights regarding this liturgy. For Francis, this division was reason to go back to the policy that was custom before 2007, the obligation of priests to have their bishops’ permission to celebrate the Traditional Mass, pre-Vatican II Mass.

  • Theological Foundations for Diocesan Pastoral Councils: a Latin Perspective by Rev
    Theological Foundations for Diocesan Pastoral Councils: A Latin Perspective By Rev. James H. Provost 1999 The ultimate basis for diocesan pastoral councils is not some political or managerial theory; as for any consultative body in the Church, the basis is theological, in keeping with the nature of the Church itself. The Church is the people of God built up by the Holy Spirit into a communion of believers, at once local and universal. Within that communion, certain principles based on the Church's own reality guide the working together of pastors and the rest of the people to form a more effective light to the nations. A. Work of the Spirit Those who have been reborn by water and the Holy Spirit are formed into the one people of God, in whose hearts the Spirit dwells as in a temple.1 The presence of the Spirit is assured the Church by Christ's promise. This is the Advocate whom Christ has sent to be with us, the Spirit of truth who remains with us and is within us, and who instructs us (cf. Jn 14: 17, 26). The Spirit is in our midst in many ways. Through the sacrament of orders, the Spirit is assured to those who have by office the charism of truth,2 and whose function it is to judge the nature and use of the gifts that the Spirit gives to God's people. Through the sacraments of initiation, the Spirit is dwelling in all the faithful, and through charisms – which the Church professes to be distributed widely among the people of God3 – the same Spirit is working in the world today.

  • Diocesan/Eparchial Pastoral Councils: Historical Development, Canon Law, and Practical Considerations by the Very Reverend John A
    Diocesan/Eparchial Pastoral Councils: Historical Development, Canon Law, and Practical Considerations By The Very Reverend John A. Renken 2002 Introduction In his apostolic letter Novo millennio ineunte1, Pope John Paul II invites the Church at the beginning of the third Christian millennium to "put out into the deep" (Luke 5:4): "Duc in altum!" He recalls that the program guiding the Church already exists: "It is the plan found in the Gospel and in the living Tradition, it is the same as ever." Yet, he adds, this program "must be translated into pastoral initiatives adapted to the circumstances of each community." (NMI, 29) He explains further: With its universal and indispensable provisions, the program of the Gospel must continue to take root, as it has always done, in the life of the Church everywhere. It is in the local churches that the specific features of a detailed pastoral plan can be identified--goals and methods, formation and enrichment of the people involved, the search for the necessary resources--which will enable the proclamation of Christ to reach people, mold communities, and have a deep and incisive influence in bringing Gospel values to bear in society and culture. I therefore earnestly exhort the pastors of the particular churches, with the help of all sectors of God’s people, confidently to plan the stages of the journey ahead, harmonizing the choices of each diocesan community with those of neighboring churches and of the universal Church. (NMI, 29) Pope John Paul II is calling every diocese/eparchy to develop a detailed pastoral plan.

  • Why We Are Traditional Catholics
    WHY WE ARE TRADITIONAL CATHOLICS As your parents we have a responsibility and duty to transmit to you the truth of our Traditional Catholic beliefs. We are not a “new” religion in conflict with the Catholic faith. We belong to a relatively small group of faithful whose purpose is to worship according to ancient liturgies and preserve for future generations the immemorial Tridentine Mass. Because you were raised in the shadow of Vatican II, a Council called by Pope John XXIII and continued by Pope Paul VI, which ended in 1965, some of the words we have already used are not familiar to you. It is our hope and prayer that after reading this, you will have, at least, a brief outline of the events that led to the Catholic Church as you know it and will plant a seed for future exploration. THE NOVUS ORDO (NEW ORDER) MASS ---WHERE DID IT COME FROM? When Pope John XXIII called the Second Vatican Council in l960, almost every bishop in the world was very puzzled. Vatican Councils historically are only called when the Church is in some desperate need or is fighting a very serious heresy (a widespread attack on a dogma of faith, i.e., Mary was not the Mother of God). This was a time when the Catholic Church was in Her full glory. We had an abundance of priests and nuns. Seminaries were full. Catholic schools were overflowing. It was not uncommon that Attendance at Mass on Sundays and Holy Days of Obligation was standing room only. Almost every Saturday, there were lines for Confession.

(Kaiser Family Foundation: “Generation M2: Media in the lives of 8-18-year olds.) This is problematic on two levels. Firstly, even if all this entertainment is “good,” the amount is wildly disproportionate. The period of adolescence is one of preparation for and transference into adulthood. The correct formation is not more and more entertainment, but more and more responsibility so that they can learn to be correctly functioning responsible adults – not the juvenile type of adult that is more and more common. The correct thing that teenagers should be saying is not: “here I am, now entertain me” but “here I am, what is my duty?” Secondly, the entertainment being consumed is very often not good.
