Late Morning Roundup - St. Andrew Corsini, Bishop & Confessor - S. Andreae Corsini Episcopi et Confessoris - Missa 'Statuit Ei Dominus' - February 4th, 2014

• Archdiocese of Washington (Msgr. Charles Pope) >> If You don’t think you have the fear of death, think again. The Bible says it is the chief doorway that Satan uses.  (..."This demon (fear of death, fear of diminishment) has to be named. Once named and brought to the light we must learn its moves and begin to rebuke it in the name of a Jesus. As we start to recognize and name the thought patterns that emerge from this most primal of fears we can gradually, by God’s grace, replace this distorted and “stinking thinking” with proper, sober and humble thinking. A thinking rooted in God’s love for us and the availability of his grace and mercy...")

• Fr. Hunwicke's Mutual Enrichment (Fr. John Hunwicke) >> LITURGISTS (1) OPEN WARFARE???  (..."And it is an apparently illiterate group. Specimens of its illiteracy are Butler's absurd discussion of the word 'vernacular' and Archdeacon's bizarre statement that "there is nothing sacred about Latin". Clearly, despite the lofty manner which each of them adopts in putting us lesser mortals straight, they do not have at their finger-tips ... to take but one example ... any of the many works of the great linguist and liturgist Christine Mohrmann, who dominated her field for decades. Writing in English, French, German, and Dutch, she demonstrated how Christian Latin emerged, was consciously developed, in order to fill the needs and instinct of the worshipping community for a deliberately sacral language. She felt that the time was not ripe for vernacular liturgies in the late twentieth century, because modern European languages had not developed their sacred vernaculars. Liturgiam authenticam, interestingly, echoed her words in its call for the development of such vernaculars, even if this meant the possible use of archaisms. In other words, 'vernacular' does not possess anything like the univocal, simplistic sense which Butler claims. Now: I'm not saying that everybody has got to share my own views about Mohrmann (I think she's Mega) or the questions her work raised, or about Liturgiam authenticam (which I happen to regard as a particularly fine document); I am only saying that these particular people are either ill-informed illiterates for not being aware of such matters; or else dishonest charlatans for concealing them from the readership of the Tablet (and from the diocesan clergy of Brentwood)...")
