Fr. Gerald Murray: "I'll say this again... No bishop can prohibit Ad Orientem celebration of the Mass in his diocese beyond his powers, because it is foreseen in the Roman Missal, and the Dicastery of Divine Worship has affirmed in private correspondence in the past that this remains a legitimate way to celebrate Mass. Sad to say, many bishops ignore it, and they won't like it to hear it said, but there and by, why in the world would you want to prohibit what was done for 1300 years or more?"
When the Novus Ordo came out, it stated (for the Orate Frates) the priest TURNS to the congregation, meaning that it was taken for granted the priest was celebrating the Mass AD ORIENTEM.
It was taught in theology schools since Vatican II that the bishop is the "chief liturgist" in his diocese. Usually a task he performed with the consultation of some professional liturgist [mostly female]. Hence the reason why the N.O. Mass is different from diocese to diocese.
The Wasteland of Lust: Church Fathers Cry of Repentance Hearken, O brethren, and incline your ears! The earth lies desolate, the cities in ashes, and the hearts of men are hardened, not by famine nor by war, but by the insatiable craving of the flesh, which is always disordered, enslaving, and without end. Augustine teaches that concupiscence, flowing from the first transgression, bends reason to serve desire, and darkens the mind. Chrysostom cries: pleasure of the flesh sought for itself never rests, never satisfies, and enslaves the soul. Scripture commands: “Flee fornication” (1 Corinthians 6:18), and, “the unmarried man cares for the things of the Lord, how he may please the Lord” (1 Corinthians 7:32). Let all know: virginity and continence are the crown and weapon of the faithful, for the flesh finds rest only in restraint, and the soul ascends to God in purity. Jerome declares: “Virginity is a crown, continence a weapon; he who conquers the flesh reigns with God.” Gregory of …More
'Advice' from an atheist - Kurt Vonnegut (? ) ~~ There is no reason why good cannot triumph as often as evil. The triumph of anything is a matter of organization...
What? There is no reason why good cannot triumph as often as evil? There should be no reason for evil to triumph ever! Does he even know or understand what evil is? He sounds as thought it's ok to be or do evil. Just do more good than evil. That's how I am reading and getting out of it. Is this what you are getting out of itIn Principio to you?

This photograph was taken during a Christian baptism in Brazil. At the exact moment water was poured over the child’s head, the falling droplets briefly aligned into the shape of a rosary. The camera captured a fraction of a second that would normally pass unnoticed, recording the moment as it happened. Baptism is a public act, representing cleansing, rebirth, and commitment. A rosary is traditionally associated with prayer, repetition, and devotion. In this image, both appear together—not through planning, but through timing. The photograph itself does not interpret the moment. It does not assign meaning or intention. It simply documents what occurred in front of the lens. And yet, many people pause longer on this image than expected, as if something about the alignment feels heavier than coincidence, even without explanation. When moments like this happen without design, what do you think gives them meaning—the event itself, or the way we respond to it?
I believe that is an ai. Here is the real picture taken years ago. Back in 2010. Because she was a single mom, people were mocking her and the picture. People can be very cruel and thoughtless.
Catholic priests Fr. Henrykh Akalatovich and Fr. Andrzej Yukhnevich have been released from prison in Belarus after serving almost a year in prison for 'treason', of an 11 year sentence They were freed following negotiations from the pope's representatives
Belorusija je po diplomatskem posredovanju Vatikana izpustila dva rimskokatoliška duhovnika. Predsednik Aleksander Lukašenko je pomilostil patra Henryka Akalatoviča, ki je bil obsojen na 11-letno zaporno kazen zaradi "izdajstva", in patra Andreja Yukhnevicha, ki je bil letos obsojen na 13 let zaradi obtožb, ki jih je zanikal. Po navedbah skupine za človekove pravice Viasna sta se oba duhovnika že dolgo soočala s pritiski oblasti. Akalatovič je bil aretiran kmalu po operaciji raka, medtem ko je bil Jukhnevič že prej pridržan zaradi simbolnih dejanj, kot je izobešanje ukrajinske zastave. Državna agencija Belta je izpustitev opisala kot "gesto usmiljenja", povezano z okrepljenimi stiki z Vatikanom. Katoliška cerkev v Belorusiji je sporočila, da je ta poteza sledila obisku kardinala Claudia Gugerottija prejšnji mesec, ki ga je poslal papež Leon XIV.
Bielorusko prepustilo dvoch rímskokatolíckych kňazov po diplomatických krokoch Vatikánu. Prezident Alexander Lukašenko omilostil pátra Henryka Akalatoviča, ktorý bol odsúdený na 11-ročný trest za "vlastizradu", a pátra Andreja Juchneviča, ktorý bol začiatkom tohto roka odsúdený na 13 rokov na základe obvinení, ktoré poprel. Podľa ľudskoprávnej skupiny Viasna obaja kňazi dlhodobo čelili tlaku zo strany úradov. Akalatovič bol zatknutý krátko po tom, ako podstúpil operáciu rakoviny, zatiaľ čo Juchnevič bol predtým zadržaný za symbolické činy, ako napríklad vyvesenie ukrajinskej vlajky. Štátna agentúra Belta označila prepustenie za "gesto milosrdenstva" spojené s intenzívnejšími kontaktmi s Vatikánom. Katolícka cirkev v Bielorusku uviedla, že tento krok nasledoval po minulomesačnej návšteve kardinála Claudia Gugerottiho, ktorého vyslal pápež Lev XIV.
