Ave Maria!

We celebrated our first Traditional Latin Mass here at Our Lady of Guadalupe Chapel in Griswold, CT on Friday, Sept 14, feast of the Triumph of the Holy Cross 2007. The next morning Fr. Peter Fehlner gave an interview with the Roving Reporter on the subject. Okay, the Roving Reporter did not have to rove very far because it was filmed right on the front porch of the friary, but after the busy week we had even he needed a break. Listen as Fr. Peter explains that there are not two rites but only one which can be celebrated with some adaptations and that if the Novus Order is celebrated by the book then it is not much different from the traditional Latin Mass.

The evening of the same day of this interview we had our second Latin Mass and this we broadcast, live. You can view the comments here.

Ave Maria!

Rinascimento Sacro shares some very edifying photos from a recent requiem Mass offered on January 24th at the Monastery of Murate in Città di Castello by the Franciscans of the Immaculate for the anniversary of the death of one of their friars.

The Franciscans of the Immaculate — founded by Pontifical Right by Pope John Paul II from what I can see — are not an order I have followed a great deal to date, but they would seem to be a group to keep more of a watch upon.

Recently the renovations for the chapel at our friary in Bloomington, IN were completed with a full refurbishment of the Sanctuary.  It now has an altar rail, stained glass, and a new altar and rererdos suitable for the Traditional Latin Mass. Archbishop Daniel Mark Buechlein, O.S.B. performed the consecration ceremony. The ground breaking for the new friary, which occurred the same day, will be posted as a separate video.

Fr Terrance gives the homily at Bloomington, IN, on Nov 16, 2022, on the communication between Pope Paul VI and Archbishop Lefebvre, founder of the SSPX (Society of St. Pius X) as the pope was trying to convince his wayward son to cease his rebellion. The pope points out that Lefebvre had a distorted theology on Tradition and the Church. This refers to recently published unedited writings of Paul VI from the book “La barca di Paolo” by Leonardo Sapienza, “The Barque of Paul” https://www.amazon.it/barca-Paolo-Leonardo-Sapienza/dp/8892215051

Notes:

Letter of June 29, 1975, after SSPX was suppressed – http://www.trueorfalsepope.com/p/lefebvre-june-29-letter-from-paul-vi.html

Lefebvre and his followers compared himself to Athanasius, who fought almost single-handedly against the majority of bishops.

But Paul VI points out Athanasius was backed by the preceding ecumenical council, the Council of Nicea, whereas Lefebvre railed against the preceding ecumenical council, Vatican II.

Faculties were taken away from Lefebvre, but he ignored this, performing illicit masses and priestly ordinations in front of thousands with large crowds of journalists.

Paul VI’s private audience with Lefebvre at Castel Gandolfo Sept. 11th of 1976 – some of this is included in an article here: https://www.ncronline.org/vatican/paul-vi-accused-archbishop-lefebvre-acting-antipope

Paul VI: Lefebvre you have taken the position of an Anti-Pope, Denied Papal infallibility, called the pope a modernist and disobeyed the pope in front of large crowds.

Lefebvre blames everyone but himself.

Problems do exist in the Church since the council that Pope Paul admitted and strived to correct

But disobedience is not edification of the Church.

The final letter of Paul VI on the errors of Lefebvre. Oct. 11th, 1976, There are 2: 1) a “distorted concept of Tradition” & 2) a “warped ecclesiology” – a warped understanding of the Church itself. http://www.trueorfalsepope.com/p/lefebvre-october-11-letter-from-pope.html

2009 BXVI problems are primarily doctrinal

Turned small t into big T

Ditched the Tradition of Papal primacy, putting himself in league with Luther, Luther applied personal interpretation to the Bible, and Lefebvre did the same to Tradition.

Ironically rejected the collegiality of Vatican II in favor of strict Papal Supremacy but then disobeyed the supreme pope.

Denied the indefectibility of the Church calling the Catholic Church a “Conciliar” & a “schismatic” Church

Msgr. John Magee, secretary of Pope Paul VI, says the pope did great penance as a just reparation for the grave offenses to God that Lefebvre committed.
