The Angelus Magazine is an excellent resource in these dizzying times as Pope Francis keeps spinning the merry-go-round.

Try and  keep your balance!

At the beginning of his pontificate, during the World Youth Day on Copacabana Beach in 2013, Pope Francis exhorted the youth to “¡Hagan lio!” or “Make a mess!”

Dear Reader,

In the ten years since that event, the Pope himself has caused a staggering amount of chaos in the Church by seemingly ignoring its doctrinal and moral patrimony. Consider his disturbing interviews with atheist Eugenio Scalfari, the implicit permission for the divorced and remarried to receive Holy Communion found in Amoris Laetitia, paying homage to the rites of the Amazonians towards their Pachamama idol, changing the catechism to reverse the Church’s constant teaching on the death penalty, destroying the flourishing order of the Franciscan Friars of the Immaculate, inviting globalists to the Vatican to talk about sustainability goals, and reversing Summorum Pontificum with Traditionis Custodes.

These events manifest a deepening of the Passion that the Church has been undergoing since the Second Vatican Council, a new swelling of the waves rocking the Barque of Peter. It is a call to all those who love Holy Mother Church to redouble their prayers for the ending of this crisis which has so worsened under the pontificate of Pope Francis.

The work of the Society of St. Pius X for the Church has become all the more important in the last decade. In the midst of such disorder and confusion, the SSPX has continued to provide stable communities for families to raise their children in the Catholic Faith. These communities make available all of the resources necessary for an integrally Catholic life, a life which is centered on the Mass of all time, but which also has need of schools, pilgrimages, retreats, summer camps, seminaries and convents.

By faithfully following the line set by Archbishop Lefebvre, the SSPX has been able to remain constant in the midst of a terrible storm. It continues to offer its services to the Church and to all souls seeking refuge in a most confusing time.

The Curious Case of Steve Skojec and the Dangers of Deep Diving into the Crisis Sub-Titled: The Failings of Others

By
 + JMJ It's been a while now since Steve Skojec sold 1P5 and abandoned the Catholic Faith. I've been a 'Trad' since 1982 and in those 40+ years I seen this death-spiral before with a similar end point. It seems that anyone who jumps into the fray unprepared for the enormous task of righting wrongs will, eventually, become discouraged by not the task but the people who surround them.   I remember when Skojec complained of the treatment his family received from a traditional priest.  This seems to have been the start of the end for him. So what can we learn from the likes of Steve Skojec, Michael Voris (maybe?), Louie Verrecchio, Gerry Matatix and other celebrity Catholics? Probably quite a lot about what not to do. First, don't burn out on the crisis?  When you burn out, on work or anything else, little things assume a more greater importance than they are due.   This is one of my 'canary in the coal mine' signals that I've been stretching myself too th...

Homily vs Sermon

By
+ JMJ Something that I've noticed is that Modern Catholics use the phrase 'Homily' instead of 'Sermon'. I've often wondered about this difference. Here's what I found Catholic Encyclopedia (1910) Homily: ...Since Origen's time homily has meant, and still means, a commentary, without formal introduction, division, or conclusion, on some part of Sacred Scripture , the aim being to explain the literal, and evolve the spiritual, meaning of the Sacred Text.  ... Wikipedia Sermon: : A sermon is an oration , lecture , or talk by a member of a religious institution or clergy . Sermons address a scriptural, theological, religious, or moral topic, usually expounding on a type of belief, law, or behavior within both past and present contexts. Elements of the sermon often include exposition, exhortation, and practical application.   Catholic Encyclopedia (1910) Sermon: As to preaching at the present day, we can clearly trace the influe...

Becoming Traditional Catholic Part I

By
+ JMJ It is a big step from the non-Traditional to Traditional Catholic World. First of all, the Trad world is much smaller, isolated and under siege. This leads to a number of interesting elements that a person making the transition needs to take into account. The Trad World Is Smaller It is a fact that in the states there are about 30,000 Traditional Catholics who support the SSPX and about 3,000 in Canada.  The other Traditionalit orders (FSSP, ICK, etc), I assume, are in the same ball park if not smaller. Let put that in perspective, in my area there are 270,000 non-Traditional Catholics. Consequently, aside from the larger centers,  a Traditional 'Parish' or Mass Centre will be 200 people or less. This has the advantage of being like an extended family and cozy. It has the disadvantage that any crazy 'uncles' in that family will be in plain sight. Be forewarned that any eccentricity that would be drowned in a sea of people in a non-Traditiona...
