Traditional Latin Mass in Maryland

It will not be surprising that the Catholic "blogosphere" is asking all to pray for Bishop Fellay and for the members of the S.S.P.X. I join in that plea! The New Liturgical Movement >> Urgent Appeal for Prayers The Traditional Latin Mass in Michiana >> Please pray for Bishop Bernard Fellay and the SSPX WDTPRS >> PRAY! PRAY NOW! WDTPRS >> Just got off the air (with Hugh Hewitt...) WDTPRS >> HURRAY! A return to an older style pallium! WDTPRS >> Msgr. Guido Marini: Communion kneeling and on the tongue will be the standard for papal Masses

Reactions to the "conditions" given to the SSPX abound on the internet. Fr. John Zuhlsdorf has a good commentary on this issue, and more than this, he identifies the critical issue upon which all else rests , viz., " Who is Peter in the Church? " If this cannot be agreed upon, further discussion would seem useless. I reprint Fr. Zuhlsdorf's prayer. It is perfect. O God, our common Father who knows us better than ourselves, pour graces through the Holy Spirit into the hearts of the members of the SSPX to bend what is rigid and warm what is cold, that in union with the Vicar of Christ, to whom Your Son our Lord gave His own authority to bind and to loose and whom He gave as a gift to the Church as a visible point of unity, we may together in ecclesial charity strive in grace and zeal to renew Your people in our Holy Catholic Church .
