Traditional Latin Mass in Maryland

My email "friend" gave me a "heads up" on this story by Rob Stein from the Washington Post abstracted here on the Pew Forum . It is on a drugstore opening in Chantilly, VA which will be "pro-life." The pharmacy is one of a small but growing number of drugstores around the country that have become the latest front in a conflict pitting patients' rights against those of health-care workers who assert a "right of conscience" to refuse to provide care or products that they find objectionable. "The United States was founded on the idea that people act on their conscience -- that they have a sense of right and wrong and do what they think is right and moral," said Tom Brejcha, president and chief counsel at the Thomas More Society, a Chicago public-interest law firm that is defending a pharmacist who was fined and reprimanded for refusing to fill prescriptions for birth control pills. "Every pharmacist has the right to do the sa

Earlier today, Shawn Tribe of The New Liturgical Movement posted an article that emphasized that what Cardinal Castrillon Hoyos was stating was not a new or de novo juridical finding or decision . Instead, His Eminence was stating the overt will of Pope Benedict XVI as stated several times by the Cardinal himself as well as the Holy Father in the Motu Proprio . Here is the full transcript of his interview with a link to the homily given . The point of fact is, however, that those who do not follow the will of the Pope are depriving the faithful of the "Gregorian Rite" which is their heritage. Here is a part of his address which Mr. Tribe emphasized in bold. Let me say this plainly: the Holy Father wants the ancient use of the Mass to become a normal occurrence in the liturgical life of the Church so that all of Christ’s faithful – young and old – can become familiar with the older rites and draw from their tangible beauty and transcendence.

Father John Zuhlsdorf has found yet another source which seems to emphasize the "seismic shift" that Cardinal Castrillon Hoyos' comments to four reporters have had in many locations. In this post today, he comments about the "buzz" that was created by the comments of the Head of the Pontifical Commission Ecclesia Dei . It is a MUST READ. The "power of silence" indeed is powerful!

Amy Wellborn has the link here for the livestream from the Eucharistic Congress . At first, I thought she was linking to the US Congress (kind of a Catholic version of C-Span)!

Steven reviews another "superhero film" that has just opened, "The Incredible Hulk ." As always, his review is both interesting and informative. Parents will welcome his comments and his overall take on the film and his perspective. Note that Mr. Greydanus always includes his standard grades on Artistic-Entertainment, Moral-Spiritual Value and Age Appropriateness with a link to reviews from the USCCB.
