Face of a Dying Order
They met have some vocations from third world countries (should we ask about the level of catechesis there?), but there is no vitality in the order.
The Remnant: Fighting the Papal Fetish to Win Back the Papacy by John Rao
A little too negative and anti-American?
I wish that I could say that I am as certain that we are “awakened” to what we positively need to know for the future of the Social Kingship of Christ as I am that we are correct in fighting that papal fetish that seeks to block desperately needed criticism of the current pontificate. Quite frankly, I think that there is still too much anti-intellectualism, too much John Locke, too much Adam Smith, too much American parochialism, too much obsession with enemies now dead and buried, and too much hope for salvation from some new Constantine focused on matters of secondary importance to recognize what the papal fetish is really blocking knowledge of in 2016. And that is the fact that the willful Nominalism of the later Middle Ages, destructive of all categories of knowledge, the willful Lutheranism of the sixteenth century, destructive of all legitimate social authority, and the willful, freedom-obsessed, Anglo-American and Continental Liberalism of the eighteenth and nineteenth century, destructive of all restraints on individual madness, with all of the contradictory, capitalist, statist, and libertine consequences that emerge therefrom, have now wormed their way into the teachings and actions of the legitimate successor of St. Peter.

Lutherans Won't Quit
Edit. Statue of Martin Luther at the Vatican
Unbelievable, if true -- what proof is there that Martin Luther was holy? Why a statue to honor him? Would this be scandalous to the Orthodox?
Chiesa: In Rome Yes, In Florence No. Here’s How “Amoris Laetitia” Is Dividing the Church
In the pope’s diocese, the divorced and remarried can receive communion, in other Italian dioceses no. Because every bishop is deciding as he wishes. A manual by Cardinal Antonelli for confessors who want to remain faithful to perennial doctrine

Are Such Gestures Necessary for Ecumenism?
If they were serious about reconciliation, could something else be done?

Marian Consecration
Are Marian Consecrations, whether the version of St. Louis of Montfort or someone else, have taken a hold in the Latin West if the West had had a better liturgical spirituality and liturgical theology? Shouldn't our consecration to God the Father, initiated through Baptism which makes us adopted sons, and repeated in every Eucharist, be sufficient? What about analogues in the East?

Shemà Israel - Cammino Neocatecumenale
Given what I posted on Saturday... I had to post this, which I found last week. A bit odd... reminds me of 60s guitar Mass music.
The man himself:
What a traditional Jew be scandalized by this?
How long was the Shema Israel retained by the early Christians as a part of their liturgical prayer? (I assume that it was part of Jewish daily liturgical prayer at the coming of Christ.) Why wasn't it kept? Because the Torah was replaced with Christ?

Pray Tell: Viewpoint: On Praying the Psalms on Behalf of the World by Msgr. M. Francis Mannion
Not bad, but where is the Roman Catholic equivalent to Christ in the Psalms by Fr. Patrick Henry Reardon?
Found this today: A Psalter for Prayer: An Adaptation of the Classic Miles Coverdale Translation Augmented by Prayers and Instructional Material Drawn From Church Slavonic and Other Orthodox
How is the translation? Sufficiently Anglicanish? What's a good resource for learning (post-)Elizabethan English?

NCReg: Next Synod Will Be on 'Young People, the Faith and Discernment of Vocation' by Edward Pentin
Meeting of bishops from around the world to be held at the Vatican in October 2018.
Will they sneak in clerical celibacy in the discussion about vocations and discernment?

Chiesa: The Reform of the Reform “Will Happen.” The Pope Wants It, Too
This is what Francis has said in private to Cardinal Sarah, only to deny the whole thing afterward in a statement. But the prefect of the liturgy is promising it once again, in a book of his that goes on sale today, entitled “The Power of Silence”

Is Psalm 50 a Messianic psalm? Why does the psalm culminate in animal sacrifice? How should we incorporate this psalm in our daily prayers? Fr. John Whiteford talks about one of the most often-read psalms.

CWR: Cardinal Robert Sarah on "The Strength of Silence" and the Dictatorship of Noise
In a wide-ranging interview with "La Nef", Cardinal Sarah discusses his new book, published in France, saying, "By living with the silent God, and in Him, we ourselves become silent."

And then we have this post and the subsequent comments... False Nostalgia: The Culture of the Latin Mass from a Millennial’s Perspective -- the author does not address the revision of the liturgical calendar or the lectionary, the translations, the creation of new Eucharistic prayers for the Roman rite, the non-use of the propers of the Mass.
In a wide-ranging interview with "La Nef", Cardinal Sarah discusses his new book, published in France, saying, "By living with the silent God, and in Him, we ourselves become silent."
By CWR Staff
In the current liturgical context of the Latin-rite world, how can we overcome the mistrust that remains between some devotees of the two liturgical forms of the same Roman rite who refuse to celebrate the other form and consider it sometimes with a certain disdain?
Cdl. Sarah: To damage the liturgy is to damage our relationship to God and the expression of our Christian faith. Cardinal Charles Journet declared: “Liturgy and catechesis are the two jaws of the pincers with which the devil wants to steal the faith away from the Christian people and seize the Church so as to crush, annihilate and destroy it definitively. Even today the great dragon is keeping watch on the woman, the Church, ready to devour her child.” Yes, the devil wants us to be opposed to each other at the very heart of the sacrament of unity and fraternal communion. It is time for this mistrust, contempt and suspicion to cease. It is time to rediscover a Catholic heart. It is time to rediscover together the beauty of the liturgy, as the Holy Father Francis recommends to us, for, he says, “the beauty of the liturgy reflects the presence of the glory of our God resplendent in His people who are alive and consoled” (Homily for the Chrism Mass, March 28, 2013).
