  • Pope St. Pius V: Pope of the Rosary Pope St
    Did you know . Pope St. Pius V: Pope of the Rosary Pope St. Pius V is one of the foremost leaders of the Catholic Reformation. He was born Antonio Ghislieri in Bosco, Italy, to a poor family; he worked as a shepherd until the age of fourteen when he joined the Dominicans, and was ordained in 1528. He studied at Bologna and Genoa, and then taught theology and philosophy for sixteen years. He was known for his long hours of prayer and fasting, and his holy speech. Due to his reputation for holiness and his great intelligence, he rose to a number of prominent positions in the Church, including Inquisitor and bishop. When Pope Pius IV died in 1565, he was unanimously elected Pope and took the name Pope Pius V. As pope, Pius was a great reformer and saw as his main objective the full implementation of the decrees of the Council of Trent. He also supported the foreign missions and worked for the reform of the clergy. He published the Roman Catechism, the revised Roman Breviary, and the Roman Missal; he also declared Thomas Aquinas a Doctor of the Church, commanded a new edition of the works of Thomas Aquinas, and created a commission to revise the Vulgate. Pope Pius V was especially known for his devotion to the Blessed Virgin Mary and for being a great promoter of the Holy Rosary. He was given the title of “The Pope of the Rosary” for issuing a papal bull, Consueverunt Romani Pontifices, in which he secured the uniformity of the Holy Rosary for recitation throughout the Catholic Church and for establishing the feast of Our Lady of the Holy Rosary.

  • 9. the Liturgical Revolution – a New Mass
    82 9. The Liturgical Revolution – A New Mass “Truly, if one of the devils in C.S. Lewis’ The Screwtape Letters had been entrusted with the ruin of the liturgy he could not have done it better.”1 THE NEW MASS VS. THE TRADITIONAL MASS The Traditional Latin Mass, the most holy act of worship of the Roman Rite of the Catholic Church, was codified by Pope St. Pius V in his Bull Quo Primum in 1570. In his famous Bull Quo Primum, Pope St. Pius V forbade changing the traditional Latin Mass. Pope St. Pius V, Quo Primum Tempore, July 14, 1570: “Now, therefore, in order that all everywhere may adopt and observe what has been delivered to them by the Holy Roman Church, Mother and Mistress of the other churches, it shall be unlawful henceforth and forever throughout the Christian world to sing or to read Masses according to any formula other than this Missal published by Us… Accordingly, no one whosoever is permitted to infringe or rashly contravene this notice of Our permission, statute, ordinance, command, direction, grant, indult, declaration, will, decree, and prohibition. Should any venture to do so, let him understand that he will incur the wrath of Almighty God and of the blessed Apostles Peter and Paul.”2 On April 3, 1969, Paul VI replaced the Traditional Latin Mass in the Vatican II churches with his own creation, the New Mass or Novus Ordo. Since that time, the world has seen the following in the Vatican II churches which celebrate the New Mass or Novus Ordo: The world has seen Clown Masses, in which the “priest” dresses as a clown in utter mockery of God.

  • The Development of the Roman Rite by Michael Davies
    The Development of the Roman Rite By Michael Davies The Universe is the Catholic newspaper with the largest circulation in Britain. On 18 May 1979 its principal feature article was by one Hugh Lindsay, Bishop of Hexam and Newcastle. The Bishop's article was entitled "What Can the Church Change?" It was a petulant, petty, and singularly ill-informed attack upon Archbishop Lefebvre and Catholic traditionalists in general. It is not hard to understand why the Archbishop is far from popular with the English hierarchy, and with most hierarchies in the world for that matter. The Archbishop is behaving as a true shepherd, defending the flock from who would destroy it. He is a living reproach to the thousands of bishops who have behaved as hirelings since Vatican II. They not only allow enemies to enter the sheepfold but enjoy nothing more than a "meaningful dialogue" with them. The English Bishops are typical of hierarchies throughout the world. They allow catechetical programs in their schools which leave Catholic children ignorant of the basis of their faith or even teach a distorted version of that faith. When parents complain the Bishops spring to the defense of the heterodox catechists responsible for undermining the faith of the children. The English Bishops remain indifferent to liturgical abuse providing that it is initiated by Liberals. Pope Paul VI appealed to hierarchies throughout the world to uphold the practice of Communion on the tongue. Liberal clerics in England defied the Holy See and the reaction of the Bishops was to legalize the practice. The same process is now taking place with the practice of distributing Communion under both kinds at Sunday Masses.

Though a Pope cannot change the substance of the Mass, he can change the accidents, or non-essentials, of the Mass a. This is how the Mass developed organically through the centuries. b. True Popes have also made incidental changes to the Mass, e.g. the Holy Week changes of Pope Pius XII in 1955. 3. Quo Primum was the strongest Papal statement that no one, not even a Cardinal, could authorize changes in the Mass.

  • The New Books for High Mass
    St. Martin of Tours Church, St. Martinsville, Louisiana THE NEW BOOKS FOR HIGH MASS For those who were familiar with the official books of the Church prior to Vatican II, the new ones are not necessarily easy to use, nor is their arrangement quite as crystal clear as a true simplification could perhaps have produced. However, for better or worse, the new books exist, although they are not as well known as they deserve to be. About one year ago, the writer was assured by a Benedictine monk that there is no longer any Latin missal. This article will attempt to list the Latin books of the Roman rite and to provide some comments on their use, arrangement, and content. Broadly speaking, the liturgical books can be divided into three groups: A. The Mass books 1. Missale Romanum 2. Lectionarium 3. Graduate Romanum 4. Jubilate Deo B. The Office books — Liturgia Horarum C. The books for the administration of the sacraments HUGHESDON: MASS BOOKS 14 The second and third groups of books are hopefully to be dealt with in a sub- sequent article. The books of the first group are of considerable significance and interest to the "ordinary" parish and are dealt with here. As during the four hundred years which preceded the Second Vatican Coun- cil, the missal is the primary, (but no longer the sole) book which is required for the celebration of Mass. The present missal, which incorporated the new rite, |! was officially promulgated by the Apostolic Constitution of Paul VI, Missale i"- Romanum, dated April 3, 1969.

  • St. John XXIII Feast: October 11
    St. John XXIII Feast: October 11 Facts Feast Day: October 11 Patron: of Papal delegates, Patriarchy of Venice, Second Vatican Council Birth: 1881 Death: 1963 Beatified: 3 September 2000 by Pope John Paul II Canonized: 27 April 2014 Saint Peter's Square, Vatican City by Pope Francis The man who would be Pope John XXIII was born in the small village of Sotto il Monte in Italy, on November 25, 1881. He was the fourth of fourteen children born to poor parents who made their living by sharecropping. Named Angelo Giuseppe Roncalli, the baby would eventually become one of the most influential popes in recent history, changing the Church forever. Roncalli's career within the Church began in 1904 when he graduated from university with a doctorate in theology. He was ordained a priest thereafter and soon met Pope Pius X in Rome. By the following year, 1905, Roncalli was appointed to act as secretary for his bishop, Giacomo Radini-Tedeschi. He continued working as the bishop's secretary until the bishop died in August 1914. The bishop's last words to Roncalli were, "Pray for peace." Such words mattered in August 1914 as the world teetered on the brink of World War I. Italy was eventually drawn into the war and Roncalli was drafted into the Italian Army as a stretcher bearer and chaplain. Roncalli did his duty and was eventually discharged from the army in 1919. Free to serve the Church in new capacities he was appointed to be the Italian president of the Society for the Propagation of the Faith, handpicked by Pope Benedict XV.

In Britain in the 1890s a complacent sense of self- congratulation and imperial pride was tempered by a deep anxiety about the future: racial, social, religious and political, soon to be heightened by a bloody and protracted colonial war in South Africa, a conflict that led to a renewed focus on the levels of poverty and malnutrition apparent in urban areas of Britain.1 New forces on both the left and right were emerging to challenge the hegemony of liberal capitalism.

  • The General Instruction of the Roman Missal Introduction
    THE GENERAL INSTRUCTION OF THE ROmAN mISSAL INTRODUCTION 1. As christ the Lord was about to celebrate with the disciples the paschal supper in which he insti- tuted the Sacrifice of hisb ody and blood, he commanded that a large, furnished upper room be prepared (Lk 22:12). indeed, the church has always judged that this command also applied to herself whenever she decided about things related to the disposition of people’s minds, and of places, rites and texts for the celebration of the Most holy eucharist. the present norms, too, prescribed in keeping with the will of the Second vatican council, together with the new Missal with which the church of the roman rite will henceforth celebrate the Mass, are again a demonstration of this same solicitude of the church, of her faith and her unaltered love for the supreme mystery of the eucharist, and also attest to her continu- ous and consistent tradition, even though certain new elements have been introduced. Testimony of an Unaltered Faith 2. The sacrificial nature of the Mass, solemnly defended by thec ouncil of trent, because it accords with the universal tradition of the church,1 was once more stated by the Second vatican council, which pronounced these clear words about the Mass: “at the Last Supper, our Savior instituted the eucharistic Sacrifice of his body and blood, by which the Sacrifice of his cross is perpetuated until he comes again; and till then he entrusts the memorial of his Death and resurrection to his beloved spouse, the church.”2 What is taught in this way by the council is consistently expressed in the formulas of the Mass.

  • 005-Santa Susanna
    (005/11) Santa Susanna Santa Susanna is an 15th century monastic and titular church. It is on the Piazza San Bernardo, on the Via XX Settembre just north-west of the Piazza della Repubblica and its metro station in the rione Trevi. The dedication is to St Susanna, and the full official title is Santa Susanna alle Terme di Diocleziano. (1) History A church at Santa Susanna commemorates the place where, according to St. Jerome, a young Christian woman was martyred for refusing to worship Rome's pagan gods. Around the year 290 Susanna was residing with her father, Christian presbyter Gabinus, right next door to her saintly uncle Pope Caius (283-296), and in the shadows of the Emperor Diocletian's (284-305) immense baths. After refusing to break a vow of virginity to marry her insistent suitor Maximianus Galerius (none other than the Emperor's adopted son and heir), Susanna also balked at offering a pagan sacrifice, and was beheaded in her own home. The church of Santa Susanna is one of the oldest titles of Rome. The first Christian place of worship was built here in the 4th century. It was probably the titulus of Pope Caius (283-296). The early Christian church was built on the remains of three Roman villas, and was located immediately outside the fence of the Baths of Diocletian and close to the Servian walls. (8) First church By tradition, the church was built in 330, and named San Caio after the owner of the first chapel. In 590, the church was rededicated to St Susan because of her growing popularity.
