Awesome thing I heard during the homily on EWTN

So right now EWTN is re-airing the TLM that the FSSP offered at the Our Lady of the Angels Monestary today (as in Friday.) The priest giving the homily said something I just had to post here. It’s a great rejoinder to those who complain about the “lack of laity participation” in the Tridentine Mass/Extraordinary Form. He likened the laity participation to Our Lady’s actions at the foot of the Cross. To the 5 senses, she was doing nothing, but I don’t know any Christian who would question that her heart was totally united to Christ on the Cross.

God Bless! ^_^

Deo Gratias! (Please forgive my spelling…)

A longer post on the MP will be forthcomming (I hope.) In the mean time:

Why I Oughta…

Alright, someone want to tell me who the schlemiel was, (and feel free to correct my spelling on that,) who broke the embargo on the motu proprio? The news show on EWTN said it was broken on the internet, and I want to know who the irresponsible blogger was, the schmuck.

To the ばかな人:
I’ll bet you peaked in your parents’ closet for Christmas presents, too, didn’t you? Yeah, needless to say, I’m peeved. We’ve all been waiting so long for this document to come out, so many hopes on it, and you go and blow the anticipation.

Kudos to the blogs who refuse to take advantage of the broken embargo! I’m rather peeved with EWTN, which is VERY rare, because they reported on it anyway, like it was ethical just because someone already broke the embargo. OK, granted I don’t know what the norms are in the world of journalism in regard to these things, but this can’t be smiled upon… I probably shouldn’t have watched, out of my own protest, but I guess I figured that wasn’t going to change the reality of it being covered. Meh.
EWTN’s Rome Report is going to be on in an hour. I don’t think that’s live, though, so there will probably be no quoting from the letter there.

God bless!

Feeding the Motu rumor mill =-P

I trust CWNews pretty solidly, for what that’s worth.

Now if only I thought any priest around here would offer the TLM once permission is granted…and, someone please correct me if I’m wrong, I’ve never heard of Cardnal George being strict with his permissions to say the TLM in the first place. My understanding is that there’s just little interest among the priest and the laity; those who want it pretty much have it. And I’ll still sit through the Novus Ordo in my parish so long as the words of consecration remain valid, untill/unless a TLM becomes avalible near my house. (My parents keep a pretty short leash on where I can take the car, barring weddings, pretty much.)

So yeah, blog rumors are nice, but it’s stories from sites like this that really raise my hopes and expectations. This should also give us cause to pray that this can lead to some kind of healing and reconcilliation for those schismatics or otherwise canonnically irregular, often over this Mass, to be brought back into full communion with the Vatican.
Pope Sts. Pius V and Pius X, pray for the reconcilliation of the orgranizations that bear your names.

I’m off to a wedding tomorrow for two friends of mine. It’s a few states over (see above comments on car,) and I’d appreciate any prayers for safe travel that anyone has to throw at me. This will be the longest I’ve ever driven alone, and the farthest I’ll be from home by myself. Needless to say, a bit daunting. =-S
