I've written before that eventually the Catholic Church will emerge from this crisis.

My read of the acceleration under Pope Francis is we are in the death throes of this particular crisis.

This pontificate is unraveling and I suspect we'll see even more erratic and extreme behaviour in the near future.

Can we 'trads' do anything?

Absolutely!

Practice virtue and the spiritual and corporal works of mercy. I would emphasize that all of the spiritual works of mercy are needed more than ever.

The corporal works of mercy is as follows:

To feed the hungry;

To give drink to the thirsty;

To clothe the naked;

To harbour the harbourless;

To visit the sick;

To ransom the captive;

To bury the dead.

The spiritual works of mercy are:

To instruct the ignorant;Trads are typically better educated in the Faith and spiritual life - we need to pass this on to our fellow Catholics.

To counsel the doubtful; there are lots of Catholics out there who are doubting the Faith. We need to bolster them.

To admonish sinners; obviously with charity.

To bear wrongs patiently; because we are authentic in our Catholicism we will be targeted by those enemies within and without the Catholic Church. Your patience will do far more than your screaming.

To forgive offences willingly; the Pope gives offense daily to faithful Catholics, forgive him.

To comfort the afflicted;

To pray for the living and the dead.

These are the true Catholic works of mercy - real mercy.

One last thing, I've encountered a number of Trads who seek vindication for all of the abuse.

I think we need to practice the works of mercy and remember this beatitude:

Blessed are they that hunger and thirst after justice: for they shall have their fill.

Hunger and thirst for justice, not vindication, not revenge, but justice - the rendering or giving of everyone what they deserve.

We need to let go and forgive all the insults and injuries. We need to work to help the 'modern' Catholics to rediscover the Catholic culture that awaits them.

We need to let God give to everyone what they deserve.

It will be done and it will be just.

Pray for those in positions of authority, much has been given to them and much will we expected of them.

P^3

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.
