Editorial FACING REALITY |
|
There are so many head-buriers who Just Don’t Get It with grinning prelates and Modernist perversion and dissolution that you could never build enough cathedrals and pews to seat them all. The thousands packed into Westminster for the 21 May Mass of Installation were just a representative fraction of these: clerics and laity revelling in the spectacle and media spotlight on the Faith, either oblivious or indifferent to prelates who have made their ecumenical peace with a cynical secularism. They no longer frequent the pews looking for correction and a Catholic cause. Appeasement and reassurance at magisterial expense will do, with a copy of the Tablet to reinforce the Social Gospel on the way out.

Feature ARCHBISHOP VINCENT NICHOLS AND THE INTER-CHURCH PROCESS |
|
In a 1984 article in The Remnant, Michael Davies condemned this Inter-Church Process as heretical because, he argued, for the Catholic Church to join Protestant sects in an ecumenical organisation suggested that the Church no longer had that “unity” conferred at its divine institution and had to seek it by federative means with sects outside itself. This was confirmed to me by Cardinal Ratzinger in a private meeting in 1992. It was bad enough that the “Process” was characterised by the “social gospel” with a concomitant downplaying of doctrine. But it was scandalous in the extreme that the Vatican permitted a body like the British Council of Churces to spearhead the plan. It had supported the liberalisation of divorce and abortion in the UK as well as funding a group called Grapevine, set up to popularise the use of contraceptives among schoolchildren. |

Editorial REMEMBRANCE DAYS |
|
Even among faithful Catholics united in doctrine and morals and fighting the culture war together on so many fronts, the chronic divide of the liturgical war persists. Largely unspoken but always simmering and sometimes erupting, it is the dissipation of this liturgical tension and the reuniting of neo-conservatives with their traditionalist brethren, not the spurious "Christian unity" of a false ecumenism, which constitutes the Catholic priority of our time. |

| November Feature CHARACTERS OF REFORMATION II: THE UNWANTED PRIEST |
|
It was to prayer that Fr. Houghton turned, as early as 1964, to explain the inexplicable: why 98% of priests in his diocese had rushed to embrace a new “active” Mass, requested neither by Pope nor Council, in place of this old “contemplative” Mass which they had said daily for so many years with care and apparent devotion? Obedience, apathy, fear of reprisals, the desire for a quiet life? Certainly all that. But he boiled it down to this: “they could not possibly have loved the Old Mass.” They had considered the Mass as just something “they had to do, and not something that God made.”

www.catholic-feminism.co.uk
A website exposing
the feminist infiltration and subversion
of the Catholic Church in Britain.
Created in response to a series of articles on “The Feminist Threat to the Church” published in Christian Order, it chronicles the devastating impact of episcopally sponsored radical feminism on our local Church.
Before we can combat this enemy in our midst
we must firstly be aware of it!

PRAYER
Heavenly Father,
we ask Thy blessing on our efforts. Show us the
way to spread the Truth of the Catholic faith in the midst of
error and infidelity. Fill our hearts with authentic love for
our priests, bishops, pope and all the clergy, a love that moves
us to unceasing prayer for their souls and to constant exhortation
to faithfully fulfill their sacred task of preaching the whole
truth of the Catholic faith without compromise. Grant us wisdom
in our deliberations, courage in exposing error and corruption,
and humility and charity in all the things we do. Bless our Holy
Father with the wisdom and holiness to discern and carry out Thy
Will, and the loyalty and fidelity of bishops, priests and all
Religious in helping him carry out this task. May Thy will be
done in all things.
We ask this through
the intercession of our Holy Mother Mary. |
