LifeSite News: SSPX priest planning defamation lawsuit against Church Militant, lawyer says

 You may have noticed that I have a link "SSPX in the News" under links of interest.  This used to point to a general google search ... but over the years a lot of clutter / spam started to appear in the results.  I took the link down for a while, but recently added a new one that scans the news instead of general.

So while I may miss an interesting blog post, what pops up is of more interest.

Case in point, on June 16th the CMTV headlines showed up with the "SSPX threatens to sue CM".  I clicked on the article and was more than a little surprised that CMTV would post something that deviates from their narrative.

Then I realized that they had cross-linked an article from LifeSite News.  Aha! 

The first think I would like to note is that the article is actually titled: 

 SSPX priest planning defamation lawsuit against Church Militant, lawyer says

I guess that wouldn't get as many clicks as the their preferred title.

At first read the article provides a pretty good overview of one of the cases and undermines CMTV's narrative.  I wouldn't be surprised if it gets dropped from their headlines.

The part 2 article discusses the abuse perpetrated by Benedict Vanderputten (former priest). I knew him both before and after he was ordained.  Sad to see a priest fall and hurt someone so badly.

Pray for the victims of and priests guilty of such abuse.

P^3

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

By
+ 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

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.
