Dr. Edward Feser on Traditionis Custodes
In Amoris Laetitia and Traditiones Custodes, writes Dr. Edward Feser, Pope Francis radically altered the Church’s liturgical practices in order to accommodate divorced Catholics forming a "new union", and punish Catholics attached to the Latin Mass. https://t.co/n9CnAgP9eT

Two Divergent Positions
A person who makes recourse against an act of the Roman Pontiff to an ecumenical council or the college of bishops is to be punished with a censure. (c. 1372) - interestingly does not appear in the eastern code of #canonlaw
— Fr Alexander Laschuk (@byzkanonist) July 23, 2021
Fun fact: while a Latin cleric promises obedience to his ordinary and his successors, at my ordination the rite required sworn obedience not just to my local hierarch but also to the Roman Pontiff, and the teachings of the one, holy, Catholic, Roman Church. Always mindful!

Latin Progs Still Trying to Claim Vatican II for Their Agenda
There is no place for Tridentine Rite in a post-Conciliar Church. Lex orandi, lex credendi...https://t.co/GcwGmW7VOA
— Robert Mickens (@robinrome) July 24, 2021
So, Bobby is asserting that Vatican II founded an entirely new religion - with a new liturgical expression - and it was inserted forcibly into all the institutions of the Church, replacing the Old Religion, along with the old liturgy...https://t.co/34B9vwe9mT

Pope Francis Evoked a Lot of Responses to This
At Angelus, Pope Francis says: "It is curious that in the accounts of the multiplication of the loaves in the Gospels the verb 'multiply' never appears", adding "The real miracle is not multiplication that produces vanity and power, but the sharing, that increases love" pic.twitter.com/hOo2HziQsB

And a Latin understanding of sacrifice and spirituality...
Today’s Gospel records a small act of generosity. A boy gives his offerings: five loaves and two fish. The Lord blessed the food and miraculously it fed 5,000.

The Lord could’ve created a feast ex nihilo, but He accepts and transforms our meager gifts for His glorious purpose.
