Here is a hat tip to Matthew Archbold who saved me at least $10 from seeing this movie . I admit, I was a fan of the first "X-Files" movie, watched the TV show on occasion and had planned to see this flick. However, Matthew's review was a money-saver. Gratias! By the way, Fr. Andrew is spot on...the movie is not doing very well.

Only time will tell, but we may mark this day as the coming of the Gregorian Rite . This is what Damian Thompson states that Cardinal Castrillon Hoyos of the PCED today called the "Usus Antiquior ." The news has been coming in all day, but Fr. Zuhlsdorf carries the latest comments on this story . The part he emphasized in his title is above: “ Not many parishes – all parishes ." He has an excellent commentary and gives a background to the story. The Creative Minority Report gives more "color" to how it happened . In a story called "The Moment - Damian Thompson Speaks," the background is described . It has been an astounding day: a Pontifical Mass at Westminster, the Cathedral packed to capacity, a press conference with Cardinal Castrillon Hoyos who assuredly speaks with the consent of His Holiness, and more information coming in to buttress the early reports. I find it incredible that as RORATE CAELI pointed out earlier, the Novus Ordo was...

Rocco Palmo of Whispers in the Loggi a has an interesting take on the preparations for the Holy Father's trip to the US

Patrick Archbold of Creative Minority Report feels that "It's Morning Again in the Catholic Church ." I have to concur on this delightful take! Don't miss the YouTube clip!

Thomas Peters of the AmericanPapist has a link to the AP text of the Holy Father's " Urbi et Orbe " address .

Shawn Tribe of The New Liturgical Movement re-caps highlights of the Triduum from Rome looking in terms of a liturgial perspective . Matthew Archbold of the Creative Minority Report decries the attacks on Christian beliefs at this time of year. This year, the subject is "The Papacy is a Sham." Christ warned us of this stuff...

I seem to have gotten into a Catholic education motif today for some reason. Apropos to that (or perhaps not) a couple of items caught my eye: American Papist has a wonderful story on what blogger Tom Peters calls a "shout out" by Pope Benedict XVI for Christendom College in Virginia. Bravo ! On the other hand, Creative Minority Report has a story about an Indiana University which shunned the advice and protests of the local Ordinary . Finally, Father Zuhlsdorf straightens out the confusion as to when the Feast of St. Joseph and the Feast of the Annunciation should be celebrated according to the 1962 Missale Romanum when the former falls during Holy Week . Busy day!

Thomas Peters of American Papist links to a fascinating story by Sandro Magister on the "ad libs" made by our Holy Father when he preaches to the faithful Patrick Archbold of Creative Minority Report has a story on Bishop Williamson of the SSPX Father Zuhsldorf of WDTPRS has a story on the continuing "confusion" on the precise words required for valid baptism from Brisbane, Australia Father Zuhlsdorf of WDTPRS has a nice story on turning a parish "eastward" in Greenville, South Carolina

A tip of the hat to Patrick Archbold of the blog, Summorum Pontificum . He links to a story on his blog, "Creative Minority Report," indicating that the TLM is soon returning to Long Island, New York . Please check the story. To quote Patrick, it is indeed good news for the Diocese of Rockville Centre!
