Traditional Latin Mass in Maryland

Here it is! To quote Jeffrey Tucker: It's been my dream--and many share it-- that the Gregorian Missal could be examined by every Catholic musician in the English-speaking world . It wouldn't cause an immediate outbreak of chant in every parish. I know this. But it would change the debate. It would illustrate what we fanatics have been saying for so long. It would illustrate what Vatican II intended. It would instill a sense of the ideal. It would make it clear that chant is the music of the Roman Rite. It would provide direction for the future. The hermeneutic of continuity between old and new would become clear. We could begin again to stitch together our practice with our tradition. Glorious news: the Solesmes Abbey has made this possible. The monastery has given permission to the Church Music Association of America to upload a beautiful copy, fully bookmarked, online at MusicaSacra.com. It is here, the first universally downloadable presentation of the Gregorian Missal .

My friend and contact at Saint James the Greater in WV has emailed me an important note . I would invite everyone who wants the TLM at Saint James to attend the Latin Mass this Sunday, Feb. 1st at 9:30 AM , and to stay for a small reception for Fr. Dom Daniel, Canons Regular of the New Jerusalem . Fr. Dom Daniel is deciding on a location to establish a monastery. If the people want him to stay within this tri-state area, we are in need of people able to contribute financially or otherwise to show the Bishop (WV) that this community would not be a burden on the Diocese. Anyone interested in helping or keeping up-to-date can join this Yahoo Group: StJamesLatinMass@yahoogroups.com Finally, we ask for prayers for the Latin Mass community at St. James. Those attending this "occasional" TLM Mass apparently come from the local area, from parts of Western Maryland and from the Front Royal area of VA. I'm sure more will be discussed at the meeting after the TLM Mass.

The News and Events segment of the Christendom College website begins its article of January 23rd this way: On January 22, the entire student body of Christendom College, including members of the faculty and staff , led hundreds of thousands in protesting abortion at the 36th Annual March for Life in Washington, D.C. Select students were given the honor of carrying the lead March for Life banner as well as the official March for Life flags. Photo Credit: Christendom College, Front Royal, VA Fantastic!

Catholic Online picks up a story reported by LifeSiteNews. Archbishop Burke, Prefect of the Apostolic Signatura, has some interesting things to say about CNS, the Catholic News Service . Archbishop Burke, the former Archbishop of St. Louise Mo. and recently appointed head of the highest ecclesiastical court in the Catholic Church, told LifeSiteNews.com that although “there were a greater number of bishops who spoke up very clearly and firmly ... there was also a number who did not.” But most damaging, he said, was the document “Faithful Citizenship” that “led to confusion” among the voting Catholic population. “While it stated that the issue of life was the first and most important issue, it went on in some specific areas to say ‘but there are other issues’ that are of comparable importance without making necessary distinctions.” Read the entire story here .
