Billboards Go Up in Rome Defending the Traditional Latin Mass (TLM)

Read the press release about this project. Dozens of Billboards have gone up in Rome to defend the TLM. Let us all pray for the pope and for Holy Mother Church and publicly call for the TLM in our communities rather than retreat into an "indiscreet silence" that "leaves in error those who might have been instructed" according to Pope St. Gregory the Great. 

Did Benedict Ask for a Funeral Using the Traditional Latin Mass?

We'll never know. If he did, the liars at the Vatican who hate the TLM would be sure to bury his request under a pile of horse manure. "Burn those papers, Judas! We can't have Benedict's wishes known to the world. More people might turn to that cursed TLM!" 

Louie Verrecchio has an interesting post on his blog, akaCatholic, The Hidden Testament of BXVI: More evidence. Check out the whole thing, but here's the relevant bit:

In the present case, it is entirely reasonable to believe that BXVI did in fact express his wishes for a simple funeral, one that avoids the spectacle of Heads of State converging on Rome from around the world such as they did when JPII died.

Priest Refuses Communion on the Tongue to Kneeling Catholic

To be fair, there were other priests (You can see them in the video.) who gave Communion on the tongue. But this rogue priest knows better than God and felt he had the right to deny the Eucharist to someone because he dared to kneel and try to receive on the tongue. Well, I hope someone identifies the priest and he receives the censure he deserves for denying the canonical rights of the man. Perhaps soon, the priest's action will be the norm, but for now it was a canonical violation that should be exposed. It's especially ironic since Benedict encouraged Communion on the tongue. Lord, have mercy on us for the curse of arrogant priests who inflict their personal desires on Your flock, diminishing reverence for Your sacred. Body and Blood.

Pope Benedict XVI Died Today; May He Rest in Peace.

Don't forget, even a pope needs prayers and it's a spiritual work of mercy.

Headlines about Daily Life in Looney--Tune Land beginning with THE BOOK!

I'm looking forward to reading From the Depths of Our Hearts co-authored by Pope Benedict and Cardinal Robert Sarah. The english translation release is coming out in February from Ignatius Press. I've already put in my order and can't wait to read it! Meanwhile, it's caused a real firestorm in Rome and elsewhere, particularly among "progressive" Catholics.

‘I cannot keep silent’: Benedict XVI and Cdl Sarah defend priestly celibacy in new book

Wow! Do We Really Have Two Popes?

One who kept the responsibility of praying and suffering for the universal Church and one responsible to exercise Church governance? Can the papacy be schizophrenic?

Pope Benedict's Final Tweets

It's not too surprising that the pope's final messages to the world talked about the joy of knowing and loving Jesus Christ. God bless our pope emeritus. May his final days, months, and years bring him the joy he wishes to others. Arrivederci, Papa Benedict!

Feb 27 
"If only everyone could experience the joy of being Christian, being loved by God who gave his Son for us!"

Feb 28
"Thank you for your love and support. May you always experience the joy that comes from putting Christ at the centre of your lives."

A Perspective on the Vatican Leaks, Etc.

Mike Voris pegs it again. Pray for our Holy Father that he will stand firm against the internal enemies intent on destroying the faith. The smoke of Satan has indeed entered Holy Mother Church. But that smoke will never suffocate her.
