Christmas Reading

I was recently given a book called 'Liturgical Time Bombs in Vatican II', by the late, and much admired, Michael Davies.

I look forward to reading it over the Christmas period.

Vatican II, eh?

Finally! Something all Catholics can agree on!

I'll happily do a book review for readers once I have read it.

Looks thoroughly interesting!

Eh? No?

Don't want to spoil your anticipation but I read this a couple of years ago and it wasn't a "bones-thrilling" read. But maybe you'll disagree. Put your conspiracy-theory head on before you start.

It's brilliant. As is everything by Michael Davies. Also, it's no 'conspiracy theory'. Michael never wrote anything of this nature unless he had proof and could quote chapter and verse.

Cover is interesting. If they changed it to a photo of Bergoglio presiding at the Tango dance Mass, it might enjoy a resurgence in sales. I'm sure Davies would approve.

It's a great little book. When you finish with that, get a copy of "Pope John's Council" by Michael Davies. It's worth its weight in gold.

Michael Davis coverage of the liturgical changes of the council are all referenced. He knew many of the key players of the council personally and was a friend of the the-then Cardinal Ratzinger.

His only fault was not the link the post-conciliar liturgical revolution to the reforms that pre-dated it e.g) Pius XII Holy Week and Psalter changes.

Still his conclusions are hard to argue against.

So Now That We're All Saying What We're Thinking...

Over the years on this blog I have offered some commentary on Pope Francis and his bizarre, scandalous and increasingly diabolical pontificate. Of late, I have tried to keep it light, trying to offer some comic relief on the papacy arranged meticulously in a conference room in Hell. Later still, I stopped blogging, mostly due to time constraints, domestic and work commitments. Before I stopped blogging, I was confident enough in my own limited knowledge of the Church to offer some insights into what I thought had gone wrong in the time since 13 March 2013.

Reasons for the catastrophe I offered over the time were varied, from the election of a 'mad Pope' to the election of an apostate Bishop to the Papacy, to someone who was elected Pope but who resisted the Truth and simply taught his own beliefs instead. Who hasn't thought, 'Oh, he's a Jesuit, what could anyone expect?' Did I say these things explicitly? Some yes, others I expect not, because with this situat…
