Traditional Latin Mass in Maryland

I just received this link as an email from one of my good friends, J. FIVE seminarians left the Sons of the Most Holy Redeemer (F.SS.R.) on Papa Stronsay, Orkney, Scotland on August 4th in order to attend the Seminary of the Society of Saint Peter's (F.S.S.P.) in Denton, NE. The blog site indicates that the following Brothers: Br. Magdala Maria, F.SS.R., Br. Jean Marie, F.SS.R., Br. Yousef Marie, F.SS.R., Br. Martin Mary, F.SS.R., Br. Ivan Maria, F.SS.R... are very happy to announce that at the end of August they will be received by the Society of Saint Peter's seminary, in Denton, Nebraska. May God bless these young men on their journey to the priesthood ! Laus Deo!

John L. Allen, Jr. in his weekly column "All Things Catholic" does a wonderful essay on Pope Paul VI . Here is a snippet from his column: "Bit by bit," Benedict said, "as our view of the past expands and our understanding deepens, the merit of Paul VI in presiding over the council, leading it happily to its conclusion, and then governing the turbulent post-conciliar phase, appears ever greater -- indeed, I would say, almost superhuman." Thus RAI, the Italian national TV network, may have its title: Paolo VI: Il papa sovrumano ("Paul VI, The Superhuman Pope.")
