Editor writes... Among the suggestions for ideas on how to best utilise the blog as we approach its closure in July, nobody suggested this one - an open forum for bloggers to post their thoughts on ... whatever! Still, that doesn't mean we can't have said open forum, so voila! If this one proves popular,...
Le Forum Catholique reports: Notre-Dame de Chrétienté, the association that organizes a large pilgrimage to Chartres every year at Pentecost, has recorded a participation rate in 2023 that has never been equaled in the past. No less than 16,000 pilgrims are preparing to travel from Paris to Chartres on May 27, 28 and 29. Neither the motu proprio Traditionis...
Blogger, RCA Victor (USA) writes... "...I’d like to discuss how traditional Catholics (i.e. Catholics) can speak convincingly (not to mention charitably and patiently) to “mainstream” Catholics about why the Novus Ordo is a poverty-stricken, basically anti-Catholic liturgy that should be shunned. I know we just had a topic on the “Stated Purpose of the New...
Editor writes... First things first; as I promised in the May newsletter, Holy Mass will be offered for all our supporters and benefactors, as we close our apostolate.

As promised, the three talks are published on the blog this week, on three consecutive days. The first talk, by Ellen Ward, was published yesterday here.

From Catholic World Report... Bishop Athanasius Schneider has recently thrown down the glove in an interview with LifeSiteNews, claiming that those of us who believe the Society of St. Pius X (SSPX) is still in schism have “a very narrow, legalistic view of the reality of the Church” and we are “putting the letter of the...
Editor writes... By claiming that Scotland's only post-Reformation martyr gave his life in the cause of religious freedom and freedom of conscience (to follow whatever religion one chooses), the above commentators embody the spirit of our ecumenical/interfaith age - the age of religious indifferentism. The video dates from around 4 years ago but the sentiment...
