Traditional Latin Mass in Maryland

WDTPRS >> Some cheerful English martyrs The New Liturgical Movement >> From ICEL comes an answer The New Liturgical Movement >> The case of the missing antiphon The Hermeneutic of Continuity >> What we are really doing (His "Hermeneuticalness" divulges all...the master plan... foiled!)

The Recovering Choir Director >> ICEL responds, or not (more in the discussion with ICEL about copyright fees on downloads which adds to the NLM story) The Way of the Fathers >> Pressing for Details (olive 'press,' that is... sigh!)

WDTPRS >> Some movie quotes (this began as a post of some famous movie quotes when Fr. Zuhlsdorf opined that it might be time to end WDTPRS. Is he really considering shutting down? Is he thinking of doing a new blog? Stay tuned...) www.Chiesa: Focus >> Vatican Radio and the Web, a Happy Marriage (Sandro Magister) St. Peter Canisius Apostolate >> Vocation and Mission The New Liturgical Movement >> ICEL, Royalty Question Update (ICEL responds and Jeffrey Tucker writes back...) Traditional Latin Mass Propers in English >> Saint Cajetan, Confessor; Saint Donatus, Bishop and Martyr

I've said it before... Some stories just make you smile. This was posted today on the Catholic Review Online by George P. Matysek, Jr . FOURTEEN young men have stepped forward to enter the priesthood. Read the fabulous story here . Praise God! Please pray for them. If we want Shepherds, we must ask Our Lord and His Mother to find us many more!

Standing of My Head >> Feast of the Transfiguration (I believe I understand that to which Fr. Longenecker is pointing. I once heard it said somewhere that during Mass, there is barely room for the priest what with all the Thrones, Dominations and Saints present...) The Way of the Fathers >> Pict Clean (Titles by Aquilina!)

Father John Zuhlsdorf posts an article from the Catholic Herald by Anna Arco and then comments on the post . The consecrated host was apparently obtained from the Brompton Oratory. The comments to this post are excellent. Needless to say, Masses of Reparation were said. I, for one, suggest continued and daily prayers for those who perpetrate such deeds.

This is an excellent essay . It is a MUST read . The quote from Saint John Chrysostom's homily is most appropriate. I look forward to the rest in this series of articles. Well done!

George Marlin writes in response to an article by Nicholas Kristof in the New York Times . It is an eye-popping article and an excellent lesson in history.
