Seven Things I'd Like To See Happen... Mac of Mulier Fortis has "tagged me" for a list of "Things I'd like to see... " She added this slight "nudge": Deo Volente, compiling lists of Traditional Latin Masses in Maryland, just in case he wants to have a go in between cutting and pasting Mass propers... though he probably won't. "What are the seven things that we, as Catholics, want or would like to see happen?" Okay, here is my list of Seven Things I'd like to see... : I am in agreement with Fr. Thomas Euteneuer, President of Human Life International . I would love to see the USCCB by " unanimous agreement " ask the U.S. faithful to recite the "Prayer to Saint Michael the Archangel" after every Sunday Mass for the cessation of abortion in the U.S. and around the world. The prayer cards are available on the HLI.org website . I am in agreement with Fr. John Corapi who has labeled abortion as "genocid...

Fr. John Trigilio posts an interview by Bruno Volpe of Petrus with Archbishop Malcolm Ranjith, Secretary of the Congregation for Divine Worship concerning Communion in the hand . He also adds some fascinating comments of his own: Fr. Zuhlsdorf has consistently spoken of a gravitational pull between the ordinary and extraordinary forms of the Roman Rite, with which I totally and unequivocally agree. Many of us believe Pope B16 intends that both the TLM and the Novus Ordo mutually enhance one another insofar as the future of Catholic sacred worship is concerned.
