Blog for Dallas Area Catholics - CMTV / Michael Voris

JMJ

Since we're on the topic, Tantum has a good post here on the topic of CMTV and Michael Voris. I tried to post a comment but I had issues with my Wordpress account - so just in case here's the comment I meant to leave.

P^3

Hi Tantum et al,
I see two aspects to this ‘crisis’ within CMTV.
The first is that they are holding two contradictory principles: No criticism of the Bishop of Rome – Head of the College of Bishops, Criticism of any and all members of the College of Bishops – except its head.
Humans are adaptable, but when confronted with this type of contradiction they will seek to resolve it by changing the perception of the action.
Hence CMTV’s recent condemnation of a long held SSPX position, that they themselves substantively held in 2010.
The second is CMTV’s anger and lashing out at the SSPX and other Traditionalists (Remnant, CFNEWS etc). Because these groups do not reinforce CMTV’s perception of the situation and because Pope Francis daily undermines that perception – CMTV is trying to silence all those who poke pins at their bubble.
As an example, the reasons given for banning people who do not agree with their position are incredible. The owner of Suscipedomine was banned for this comment:
“… Keep grinding that axe, Church “Militant” …”
From my perspective (having been SSPX Trad for 30+ years), CMTV and Michael Voris are just one more casualty.
Pray for them and pray for us the we aren’t next.

Auctorem Fidei

Can the SSPX be right about the Novus Ordo? Revision: Feb 11, 2013 On another web forum, I was engaged in a rather heated discussion about the documents of Vatican II.

Morning and Evening and other sundry Prayers

+ JMJ Along the theme of P^3 (Prayer, Penance, Patience), and for my own reference ... here is a collection of Morning and Evening prayers from the Ideal Daily Missal along with some additional prayers. In this crisis of the Church, I do not think it is possible to do too much prayer, penance and have patience. P^3

Comparision of the Tridentine, Cranmer and Novus Ordo Masses

+ JMJ I downloaded the comparison that was linked in the previous article on the mass (here) . ... a very good reference! P^3 From: Whispers of Restoration (available at this link) . CHARTING LITURGICAL CHANGE Comparing the 1962 Ordinary of the Roman Mass to changes made during the Anglican Schism; Compared in turn to changes adopted in the creation of Pope Paul VI’s Mass in 1969 The chart on the reverse is a concise comparison of certain ritual differences between three historical rites for the celebration of the Catholic Mass Vetus Ordo: “Old Order,” the Roman Rite of Mass as contained in the 1962 Missal, often referred to as the “Traditional Latin Mass.”The Ordinary of this Mass is that of Pope St. Pius V (1570) following the Council of Trent (1545-63), hence the occasional moniker “Tridentine Mass.” However, Trent only consolidated and codified the Roman Rite already in use at that time; its essential form dates to Pope St. Gregory the Great (+604), in whose time the R

What the heck is a congregation of "Pontifical Right"

+ JMJ In a discussion with a friend the question occurred to me that I didn't actually know was is involved in being a religious order of 'pontifical right'. I had a vague notion that this meant they reported to Rome as opposed to the local diocese. I'm also aware that, according to the accounts I have heard, the Archbishop received 'praise' and the written direction to incardinate priests directly into the SSPX. This is interesting because it implies that the SSPX priests were no longer required to incardinate in the local diocese but in the SSPX. This is something that belongs to an order of 'pontifical right'. Anyway here's some definitions: Di diritto pontificio is the Italian term for “of pontifical right” . It is given to the ecclesiastical institutions (the religious and secular institutes, societies of apostolic life) either created by the Holy See or approved by it with the formal decree, known by its Latin name, Decretu

Catholic Culture - The Edgar Schein Model Analysis of the Pre and Post Conciliar Culture

+ JMJ So ... I was thinking ... I've used Edgar Schein's (RIP) organizational cultural model (link ) in my research ... why not apply it in a comparison between the Catholic Organizational Culture - PRE and POST Second Vatican Culture? Of course, this will be from my own perspective, I'm certain that others will think differently. 😁 Also, apologies for a rather long article. Graphic: https://mutomorro.com/edgar-scheins-culture-model/ Below is a quick mapping of the cultural factors that I could think of. Since the Church is vast and composed of millions of Souls, it is necessarily a limited cultural map. Yet, I think it will still be useful to assess what has changed since the Second Vatican Council.
