There are liturgy wars in the Indian rites, apparently
I don't know who the "good guys" would be, as ancient practice apparently varied. If I had my druthers, there would be no insistence on uniformity. The Pillar has another notice on it today.

I've heard a lot of talk about this issue. For instance, could they give "members only" Mass for an association? I think this is something a canon lawyer should address, but I don't think there is one listening in on this. I t…

DC: to avoid getting mixed up in the discussion
I don't wade into disputes too much but I have to agree with Schonbergian--we need a lot more than hearsay. I thought the points raised in this were all very good and knowledgeable, though there were some points where I raised an eyebrow. I h…

Which is very good advice when it's rumor, and I advocate the same thing, but a sign on the door (if it is not fake) is now a public event, so I was wondering if there was any kind of back up to it. Peace, Kenneth

Chris: I have to admit that I actually don't know what I was referring to in specific. It was all one discussion at that point, and maybe--maybe--I was just saying that I didn't think comments in any venue were going to help. In fact, o…

Somehow I just posted an article so you could all appreciate it and ended up inspiring a discussion with 100 replies. Oops. I am avoiding disputations as much as possible so I am not going to read them while I might still be inspired to respond. …

This is a good question. I am not sure of the numbers anywhere. It would be good to get reliable ones. I think the ease of setting up charitable foundations has a lot it do with it, as does the fact that we have no established churches. I think th…

I see that I originally intended for the article to be highlighted but of course it got sucked into the conversation. Salieri--can you explain? we're not going back into parishes any time soon.

Chris, please see my answer of July 20. In any case, since that was posted,there have been many indiscrete comments about His Eminence all over the place, but at this point we don't need to worry how that will affect his decision-making. Kenn…

Oh, always assume something worse can happen. To make sure that it doesn't, everyone from all three parishes in DC must--as they can--make the Mass at the Franciscan Monastery a "success." There are people, of course, who are kind o…

MatthewRoth I didn't say I thought it was optimal. I said if he had not received outside pressure, he would probably have delayed forever. If you read my note again, I most emphatically feel it could have been much worse, so the listening…

NihilNominis: the side chapel thing was so far as I know part of the fevered speculation. What I will say is that if the Traditionalists had been in anyway belligerent or disobedient, they would have gotten another Delegate and the side chapel. I…

What pains me about all this is exactly the ripping of people away from their contexts: St. Mary Mother of God is one of the oldest "indult" parishes, I don't know how St. Francis de Sales parish got its community, and I know the guy…

The “Old Mass and the “Novus Ordo” Mass: Irreconcilable differences? - Fr. Jerry J. Pokorsky
And anyone who thinks JPII or XVII were restorationists or even sympathetic missed a lot. But they both made it possible to even think about getting rid of the silliness. Peace, Kenneth

We could go on, but acclamation by the populace of Rome is not unheard of in Roman history. My problem with Traditionalism as a movement is exactly its seeming lack of concern for the many. "And seeing the multitudes, he had compassion on the…

Serious question on living peaceably with your Ordinary
Let's assume for a moment the Holy Father was genuous rather than ingenuous (as I said, he's provided a lot of fodder on that point.) I do think having a disobedient spirit is a problem; any feeling that "I am a better Catholic."…

Please note, I did not say all bishops. I said that there were Bishops who had suppressed TLMs that had not really taken root, and those Bishops were wise, given the reality of what awaits in Rome. Moreover, most bishops have still not taken any a…

As a footnote, there was a delay in reforming the translations of the Liturgy in English, according to George Weigel, because JPII had trouble believing people would mess with the texts. But it was he who gave us Liturgiam Authenticam and a reforme…

Chris, I must take exception to the sarcasm directed toward St. John Paul II or towards those of us who hold him in esteem--very high esteem in my case. And here I am going to end because I liked what I wrote but--to go back to comments I made in a…

This is why a reference guide and not our opinions is important. My memory is that, as applied (meaning from court cases), it means that each singer can get a copy, though not the instrumentalists. This is why lawyers make money. MarkB is entir…

Argentius, I stumbled on the link below. There is even now a whole book. If it is for a service, then there is an exemption. As OCP is still very much with us, there is no chance the copyright has expired if it is theirs. I think that you are co…

Schönbergian, I could not agree more. From the time when I participated regularly, I see that some of the most acidic and ill-tempered have disappeared. I hope that means they reflected and reordered their lives. I also pretty much stopped partic…

I was referring in general, and perhaps I should have clarified. I did see a sideswipe at him in some discussion on this site, and I do think I saw something in this thread. It may not have used his name. Perhaps its all a mush in my head. You w…
