 While Fr. Aulgnier was expelled in 2004  "for having supported the agreement between the Personal Apostolic Administration of Saint John Mary Vianney and the Vatican" (link:wikipedia), the SSPX has demonstrated Catholic Charity for even those with whom they don't agree with on some issues.

On Wednesday May 6, 2021, Fr. Paul Aulagnier fell asleep in the Lord after receiving Last Rites.

Born on May 23, 1943, Fr. Aulagnier was among the first group of seminarians to join Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre at the advent of the Society of Saint Pius X (SSPX). After receiving ordination in 1971, Fr. Aulagnier was the Society’s First Assistant from 1973 until 1982. He later become District Superior of France from 1976 to 1994 before becoming Second Assistant from 1994 until 2002. Even though he left the SSPX in 2003, he remained attached the life and legacy of Archbishop Lefebvre.

In addition to his priestly ministry, he was also a professor and subdirector of the Society’s seminary at Ecône in the early years. During his time in France, he oversaw the SSPX’s expansion, including the establishment of new chapels, schools, and priories.

Despite his departure from the Society, he remained a steadfast worker for the restoration of Catholic Tradition. May he rest in peace.

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

+ 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

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

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.

Holy Ghost vs Holy Spirit

+ 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.
