  • The Washing of the Feet During the Evening Mass on Thursday of the Lord’S Supper ______
    The Washing of the Feet during the Evening Mass on Thursday of the Lord’s Supper _______________________________________________________________ On the authority of Pope Francis, the Congregation for Divine Worship and the Discipline of the Sacraments [CDWDS] issued a Decree and a Commentary on 6 January 2016 changing the rubric for the Washing of the Feet during the Evening Mass on Thursday of the Lord’s Supper. Here is the English rubric with the edits: The men who have been chosen are Those who have been chosen from amongst the people of God are led by the ministers to seats prepared in a suitable place. Then the Priest (removing the chasuble if necessary) goes to each one, and, with the help of the ministers, pours water over each one’s feet and then dries them. By the action of the Apostolic See, those chosen for the foot washing is open to all members of the People of God – boys and girls, women and men. Those chosen for the foot washing reflect all who make up the People of God, the disciples of the Lord. In the account of the Last Supper in the Gospel of John, the Good News proclaimed during the Holy Thursday Evening Mass, Jesus washes the feet of an unspecified number of disciples. Just as the “beloved disciple” is nameless so that it may be, in fact, every hearer who is the beloved one, the “disciples” are all of us as well. This mandatum , this love command to be of service, to be servants is given to each one of the baptized.

  • Is Rejecting the Pius XII Liturgical Reforms Illegal? (2006)
    Is Rejecting the Pius XII Liturgical Reforms Illegal? (2006) by Rev. Anthony Cekada How can you justify using the older rubrics and Missal? QUESTION: I was just wondering how you justify rejection of the Holy Week "reforms" under Pius XII. If the principle of "epikeia" is invoked, it would seem this does not apply given the validity of the reigning Pontiff, and his rightful authority to make such changes. I was under the impression that epikeia only applied when a law began to work against the common good and needed to be ignored. I would ap- preciate your insight. QUESTION: Regarding the 1955 Holy Week changes: in reading the arguments from 1955 for the reasons for the changes, the "innovators" talked of "returning to earlier traditions" and of "simplification of the ceremonies", etc.: the same arguments made later for the entire Novus Ordo. Admittedly, the whole thing stinks of Bugnini. Annibale admit- ted in his memoirs that this was an important step towards the liturgi- cal anarchy he later created with Paul VI and all their Protestant friends and bishops. I have no doubt in my mind that the 1955 changes should have been thrown out (like the rest of Bugnini's "innovations"). However, I have two main questions: what does this say to us of Pope Pius XII in those latter years for permitting and utilizing this new ceremony, and also, since we have been Interregnum since 1958, what justifications do we utilize to individually celebrate the old- er ceremonies which were replaced before 1958 without making it ap- pear that we are "picking and choosing" which ceremonies we want to utilize.

(Ph.D., History) The Emigrant Métis of Kansas: Rethinking the Pioneer Narrative Dissertation directed by Associate Professor Ralph Mann Under the U.S. government’s nineteenth century Indian removal policies, more than ten thousand Eastern Indians, mostly Algonquians from the Great Lakes region, relocated in the 1830s and 1840s beyond the western border of Missouri to what today is the state of Kansas. With them went a number of mixed-race people – the métis, who were born of the fur trade and the interracial unions that it spawned. This dissertation focuses on métis among one emigrant group, the Potawatomi, who removed to a reservation in Kansas that sat directly in the path of the great overland migration to Oregon and California.

  • THE BUGNINI FILE: a STUDY in ECCLESIAL SUBVERSION John Kenneth Weiskittel
    THE BUGNINI FILE: A STUDY IN ECCLESIAL SUBVERSION John Kenneth Weiskittel Hannibal Bugninius, magnus architectus novae liturgiae, non solum Novi Ordinis Missae sed etiam Hebdomadae Sanctae "instauratae" anni 1955, ipse iam vivens colendi Magnum Architectum Universi accusatus est. Quamvis evidentia non sit certa, nihilominus gravia argumenta mentem inducunt ad credendum Bugninium massonem fuisse, et conscienter, tamquam agentem inimicorum Ecclesiae, sacram liturgiam diruisse. Evidentiam huius accusationis auctor loannes Weiskittel adducit, simul cum ea praebens historiam coniurationum societatum secretarum quae ut se inter clerum Ecclesiae Catholicae insinuerent iam abhinc ducenti annos sibi proposuerunt. In April 1976, a book stunned Italian Catholics, and sent shock waves throughout Christendom. The work, printed in Florence and entitled Nel Fumo di Satana. Verso t'ultimo scontro ("In the Smoke of Satan. Towards the Final Clash."), was a penetrating critique on the state of the Church since the Second Vatican Council.1 Singled out for direct strike was "Archbishop" Annibale Bugnini, C.M. (1912-1982), the Secretary of the Conciliar Congregation for Divine Worship who had presided over the fateful "reform" of the liturgy. "The reform has been conducted," charged the book, "by this Bugnini who has been unmasked at last; he is indeed what we long expected: a Freemason."2 Few allegations made since Vatican II have been more biting -- a top Church official accused of being an enemy of the very Church he is sworn to defend. What makes it all the more credible is the author. Tito Casini was no muckraker, but a writer of good reputation, particularly noted for his works on the Mass.3 This revelation did not originate with Casini, however, who was merely reporting an incident from the previous summer, when a priest visited "Pope" Paul VI’s office, plopped on his desk a dossier identifying Bugnini as a Lodge brother, and warned he would go public with the information if action was not taken immediately.

  • Chapter 14 Extraordinary Form of the Roman Rite A
    CHAPTER 14 EXTRAORDINARY FORM OF THE ROMAN RITE A. INTRODUCTION 14.1.1 The Roman Missal promulgated in 1970 by Pope Paul VI is the ordinary expression of the lex orandi of the Catholic Church of the Latin rite. Nonetheless, it is permissible to celebrate the sacrifice of the Mass following the typical edition of the Roman Missal promulgated by Blessed Pope John XXIII in 1962 as an extraordinary form of the liturgy of the Church.1507 14.1.2 It is permissible as well, in the circumstances described below, to use the liturgical books promulgated or in use in 1962 for the celebration of some of the other sacraments and rites.1508 14.1.3 In addition to the Roman Missal, the liturgical books promulgated or in use in 1962 were the following: a. the Roman Breviary, in the typical edition of 1962; b. the Roman Martyrology; c. the Roman Ritual, in the typical edition of 1952, and local rituals derived from it;1509 1507 SP 1. It is not clear what “never abrogated,” used in the full text of this article in reference to the MR1962, means; for if the Missal was “never abrogated,” the law requiring its use certainly was. “Paul VI’s 1969 apostolic constitution Missale Romanum, was properly promulgated as law in the Acta Apostolicae Sedis, in keeping with canon 9 of the 1917 code. The constitution required the use of the newly revised Roman Missal and abrogated previous law that had required use of the Tridentine rite Mass. The Pope decreed that his constitution had the force of law ‘now and in the future,’ and he expressly revoked contrary law, including ‘the apostolic constitutions and ordinances issued by our predecessors and other prescriptions, even those deserving of special mention and amendment.’ Moreover, the March 26, 1970, decree of the Sacred Congregation for Divine Worship promulgating the editio typica of the revised Roman Missal contained the phrase, ‘Anything to the contrary notwithstanding.’” For a priest lawfully to use MR1962, even in private, an indult or permission of the ordinary was required.

  • The Potawatomi Mission of Council Bluffs
    CHAPTER XIII THE POTAWATOMI MISSION OF COUNCIL BLUFFS § I THE POTAWATOMI The earliest known habitat of the Potawatomi was the lower Michigan peninsula Driven thence by Iroquois invaders, they settled on and about the islands at the mouth of Green Bay, Lake Michigan, where they were met in 1634 by Jean Nicolet, reputed the first white man to reach Wisconsin. Later they moved south, displacing the Miami and occupying both shores of Lake Michigan from between about Manitowoc on the west and Grand River on the east and settling southward as far as the Wabash Their lands comprised territory in Wisconsin, Illinois and Michigan, with some fifty villages, including those on the sites of Milwaukee, Chicago, and Grand Rapids 1 Of Algonkin stock, the Potawatomi were blood-relations of the Ottawa and Ojibway or Chippewa, with whom they appear to have formed at one time a single tribe - The Potawatomi ("fire-makers," "people of the fire-place"), may thus owe their name to the circum­ stance that they separated from the other two tribes and built a new "fire," which in Indian parlance is to set up as an independent tribe They were in the main hunters and fishers, tilling the ground but sparingly and this only for a meagre harvest of maize They were, moreover, a fighting race and as a consequence frequently in conflict with the whites and with the other tribes They supported the French against the British in the great struggle between the two powers for 1 James Mooney in Catholic Encyclofedia, 12 320 The spelling of Indnn tribal names, except in cited
