This was the means chosen by Our Lord to correct a major problem in the Church. About forty years before Catherine's birth, the Pope, under the influence of French cardinals and politicians, had left Rome and gone to live in Avignon, a French city on the Rhone river in what is now southern France. He and his successors remained in Avignon for seventy years, much to the scandal and demoralization of the Church and its ...http://frbrown.wordpress.com/2013/04/29/feast-of-saint-catherine-of-siena-29-april-2013/

Thoughts on the Funeral Service for Baroness Thatcher THE HERMENEUTIC OF CONTINUITY - April 17, 2013 Did anyone notice the black vestments and six unbleached candles? I don't think many people would comment on them: they were just the right and obvious thing. Quite rightly our primary focus as Catholics is to pray for the repose of the soul of Margaret Thatcher and I assure you, prescinding from any political comment, that I have done so and will do so. As I was travelling today, I didn't get to watch the service itself but did enjoy seeing part of the procession with the ...http://the-hermeneutic-of-continuity.blogspot.com/2013/04/thoughts-on-funeral-service-for.html

The bishop wears the mitre called "auryphrigiata" in Latin, the less ornate kind used in Advent and Lent, rather than the simple mitre with no ornamentation. The ceremony begins with "Deus in adjutorium" and "Gloria Patri", like the hours of the Divine Office, but without Alleluia. The opening prayer of the 1595 version is suppressed.

Historians Ask: Is Francis a John XXIII? CLERICAL WHISPERS - April 9, 2013 Images from the first three weeks of Pope Francis' pontificate have been largely positive, if not downright jovial: The new pontiff wearing simple vestments, kissing babies, and embracing adorers in full-on, two-armed hugs. With such effusive imagery, comparisons to other genial and jovial popes are already abounding. The one comparison being talked about in somewhat hushed tones, as if not to curse the moment? Francis' possible similarities with Pope John XXIII, the pope ...http://clericalwhispers.blogspot.com/2013/04/historians-ask-is-francis-john-xxiii.html

Dear Pope Francis... CLERICAL WHISPERS - March 24, 2013 ... Jesuit admirer of St Francis Xavier, the new pope must know that he only has a partial chance of success. St Francis Xavier was a heroic missionary who expanded the Church; Francis of Assisi followed Christ by abandoning property and giving all to the poor. Whichever Francis he is following, Jorge Mario Bergoglio is doomed to failure. He is a clever man, and he knows this, as we cheer him on his way. * AN Wilson is a newspaper columnist and author of novels (Winnie and Wolf, Stray), literary ...http://clericalwhispers.blogspot.com/2013/03/dear-pope-francis.html

Cardinal Donald Wuerl and Mike Aquilina, gleaning from their combined perspectives of behind the altar and from within the pews, offer the reader an extraordinarily unique panoramic view of the Catholic Church. The authors have skillfully dusted off years of ...http://donnamarieembracingmotherhood.blogspot.com/2013/03/the-church-unlocking-secrets-to-places_24.html

'Out of Step:' Two Millennia and Counting Our vestments would look out of place in most American offices. That's hardly surprising, since they predate the current iteration of Western civilization.

Longnecker set out to answer was whether Pope Francis himself is a liturgical liberal, not whether Pope Francis will try to force us to become liturgical liberals, or whether or not he will 'attack' tradition. I am not sure what traditionalist "grumbling" he was referring to at the beginning of his article, but as far as I know there is almost a universal consent among traditionalists and non-traditionalists alike that the Extraordinary Form is ...http://unamsanctamcatholicam.blogspot.com/2013/03/more-straw-men-fr-longnecker-on-pope.html
