Father John Zuhlsdorf has now posted a story on the Pontifical Mass coming to Washington, D.C. At 1:00 pm on 24 April at the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception in Washington DC there is to be a Pontifical Mass celebrated by His Eminence Dario Card. Castrillon Hoyos, former President of the Pontifical Commission Ecclesia Dei. This will be the 5th anniversary of the election of His Holiness Benedict XVI . There is a great deal more information located here including links on Twitter and on Facebook.

This is a big story breaking on WDTPRS . In addition, please check out this on attending SSPX Chapels to fulfill Mass obligations , and this post on Cardinal Schönborn who has apologized for the Medjugorje controversy . Father Z. is smoking hot today!

Father John Zuhlsdorf has posted a great summation of the TLM Masses being offered on Friday the 22nd and on Sunday the 24th coinciding with the March for Life.

Father John Zuhlsdorf has an incredible 17 posts since I checked yesterday. He seems to see the overall picture of the firestorm that has been ignited by the lifting of the excommunications by the Holy Father and the reaction. I will present a sampling of links to illustrate this overview. Others are also seeing this in its overall form. The seeping cracks are splitting open Wymyn whine at Benedict XVI about SSPX excomms being lifted Italian priest: lifting the excomms… a rape of the Church by the Pope The hits keep rolling in SSPX Bp.

Fr. John Zuhlsdorf of " What Does the Prayer Really Say ?" has found one of those marvelous stories that just makes one smile. Spiritual motherhood? Read on and kudos to the Diocese of Tulsa and their marvelous Bishop, H.E. Bishop Slattery ! What a great idea!

This is a second article of interest today. It is detailed enough that I placed it as a separate link . The questioner has an excellent comment. Fr. John then tries to get to the details of the matter which are not simple. It is worthy of note as a starting point for a LONG discussion.

Some of you must get the impression that this blog is simply WDTPRS (Eastern U.S. Annex). That is not true. Fr. John Zuhlsdorf posts some fascinating articles and comments and not everyone finds his blog. There was a story posted this morning, an interview, with Professor Luc Perrin, that I linked to on RORATE CAELI . Fr. Zuhlsdorf reads it critically and makes some interesting observations . One, in particular, is worth mentioning from the interview (the quote is taken as found on the WDTPRS blog; BOLD portions are from Fr. Zuhlsdorf, and RED portion s are HIS comments : However we should consider two facts that need time to be fully received by the Church. First fact: the status of the traditional Roman rite (Extraordinary Form) has been firmly settled as never before . [But some will complain that it isn’t becaues Benedict XVI changed the Good Friday prayer. They are wrong, of course, and this guy right. But that doesn’t change the grousing.] On the very long term,

Fr. John Zuhlsdorf of " What Does the Prayer Really Say ?" now points out his reaction to the " recognitio " of the Ordinary of the Mass . His story is a must read as he lends more of an insider's view to what has happened. His efforts toward gaining accurate liturgical translations is one I have always deeply admired. D.v.
