Then we had a Latin Sung Mass. (Don't tell Father Volpi). About 2,000 people had crowded into the Cathedral for this with a majority from ethnic minorities. More rosaries, exposition and procession of the Blessed Sacrament, confessions and a marvellous talk from Father Marcus Holden on Our Lady as guardian of the Doctrines of the Church. That meant all of them, he said, including Humanae Vitae. She also crushes the head of the snake of heresy. Finally a statue of Our Lady of Fatima was processed out into Victoria Street. (Flash mob?).<br /><br />Father Holden recommended the slogan "Keep Calm and Say the Rosary".Nicolas Bellordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08063019108964247676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2389530333077823143.post-89144398650951518732014-01-26T15:11:00.001+00:002014-01-26T15:11:00.001+00:00I wish you would print out the words to your song ...I wish you would print out the words to your song as I couldn't quite catch all of them.<br /><br />w/apologies to K.C. & the Sunshine Band...<br /><br />DO <br />A <br />LITTLE <br />DANCE<br /><br />Do a little dance<br />Make a little mess<br />Put down that rite<br />Put down that rite!<br /><br />Do a Bishop prance<br />Feign a humble stance<br />It's out a sight<br />It's out a sight!<br /><br />Franciscan babes<br />Pull it together<br />You didn't do<br />What you should do<br /><br />The Latin rite<br />Is used to tether<br />St. Pius the Tenth's<br />Point of view<br /><br />(Chorus)<br /><br />The other guys<br />Say Latin Mass<br />Same way<br />Same kind<br /><br />But always near<br />Society's brass<br />To come to them<br />If change of mind<br /><br />(Chorus)<br /><br />A rival good<br />To God's own good<br />By every Chapel<br />Of St. Pius<br /><br />Where we plan<br />As well we should<br />To lure away<br />And then they'll try us<br /><br />(Chorus)<br /><br />So Franciscan babes<br />You'll have to go<br />You don't obey<br />Our church of people<br /><br />Our plans entice<br />Shrink men to mice<br />Then shut you down<br />Obeying sheeple...<br /><br /><br />Do a little dance<br />Make a little mess<br />Put down that rite<br />Put down that rite!<br /><br />Do a Bishop prance<br />Feign a humble stance<br />It's out a sight<br />It's out a sight!<br />Long-Skirtshttp://www.hilaryflanery.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2389530333077823143.post-83709906309441830912014-01-26T02:08:45.477+00:002014-01-26T02:08:45.477+00:00Including various statements of the Pope.

There is a duty to ensure clear and unambiguous public statements, on the part of our religious leaders.<br /><br />Yes, there is a case for dialogue and exchange of ideas - that was very much part of my job before I retired - but that is for private discussion, in which, in the case of religious discussion, the objective of the Catholic party, let’s be clear about that, is to convince the other of the Full Truth of the Catholic Church validly, held from Christ.<br /><br />There is no place for unclear, or perhaps just careless, public statements, designed with the objective of “not upsetting anyone”, nuanced by press offices, I suspect, with what the recipients might find to be the uncomfortable Truth.<br /><br />So, yes, let’s not slide into schism, that is so for all of us, particularly, if I may say so, those on the liberal wing of the Church, but equally avoid that false “Ultramontanism” which treats every casual remark as binding.<br /><br />Remember that there are very clear rules and limitations on the authoritative utterances of Popes.Jacobihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04743062941733814176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2389530333077823143.post-47820230299459813422014-01-24T21:40:34.220+00:002014-01-24T21:40:34.220+00:00http://www.markmallett.com/blog/first-love-lost/#m...http://www.markmallett.com/blog/first-love-lost/#more-13175<br /><br />Interesting view about the current status quo from a Canadian Catholic singer.
