Communion in the Hand by Laity ... without a priest (seriously)

It is humorous that they encourage the laity to 'participate' by distributing communion (which is bad in an of itself) without a priest.

Well if a priest was doing what he's supposed to be doing - then there wouldn't be any 'Eucharistic Ministers'.

The End of Communion Services without a Priest in California

August 17, 2018

Laity are being instructed not to distribute the Holy Eucharist without a priest

The bishop of Santa Rosa, CA, has ordered an immediate end to religious services in which the Holy Eucharist is distributed to the faithful without a priest present, declaring that this practice “is not consistent with the Instructions from the Holy See.”
“It has become common in a number of Parishes and Institutions in the Diocese of Santa Rosa for Deacons and Laity to hold Communion Services in the Absence of a Priest on both Sundays and weekdays,” wrote Bishop Vasa in a statement published on the website of his diocese on July 25.
“While popular,” wrote the prelate, this practice “is not consistent with the Instructions from the Holy See".
Bishop Vasa ordered these communion services without a priest on Sundays and weekdays to cease completely everywhere in his diocese, effective August 1, 2018.
The bishop of Santa Rosa’s decision is praiseworthy; but will it be enough to put an end to a practice whose principle is unfortunately permitted by the Code of Canon Law promulgated in 1983, that says the faithful can distribute communion “when the need of the Church warrants it and ministers are lacking”? (Canon 230,3)
This liberal legislation of 1983 corresponds with what was practiced just after the Council, as the Dominican Fr. Calmel described in his letter of September 15, 1972:
No more tonsure, no more sub-diaconate; they begin with the diaconate; and the Eucharistic ministry (Communion for the sick, distributing Communion) can be entrusted to laymen; and the (‘collegialized’) national conferences could spread this practice even more. The Modernist system of devaluating and ruining the priesthood is at work thanks to Paul VI.

Is it sinful to attend the Novus Ordo (New Mass) - Is it Sinful to Not Attend the Novus Ordo on Sunday?

By
+ JMJ A non-SSPX Catholic is upset over the SSPX statements on not attending the Novus Ordo Missae. Ladies and gentlemen, what the SSPX, or at least its website editor, is advocating is a mortal sin against the Third Commandment.  Unless the priest deviates from the language of the Sacramentary, the consecration, and thus the rest of Mass is to be considered valid.  No one may elect not to attend Mass simply because abuses are occurring therein.  Might I suggest that such absenteeism is its own abuse?  The Third Commandment binds under mortal sin.  Father So-And-So from the SSPX has no authority whatsoever to excuse attendance at Mass, be that Mass ever so unpalatable. Source:Restore DC Catholicism Well, this is interesting. First why does the SSPX issue this statement? Because it is sinful to put your faith in danger by attending a protestant service.  It is likewise dangerous to put your faith in danger by attending a protestantized mass (ie the Novus Ordo Missae

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

By
 + 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.

Holy Ghost vs Holy Spirit

By
+ JMJ Something that always and I do mean always causes me to cringe interiourly is when non-Trad Catholics use the words "Holy Spirit" instead of "Holy Ghost". First, this is a natural response because of long usage of "Holy Ghost" as soon as I hear the word "Holy" in a prayer, my brain automatically is prepped to hear "Ghost" afterwards.  This creates a short period of interiour dissonance (discomfort). Now the question I would like to ponder today is whether or not there is a difference and whether or not there is a right way vs wrong way.
