The Agatha Christie Indult

So, look what I turned up during my archive trip... the "Agatha Christie" indult, signed by Bugnini & stamped with the SCDW seal!

(your reminder that, last August, Archbishop Roche claimed the Congregation had searched their own archives and couldn't find this 🙄) pic.twitter.com/mjjZdsOh5r

Joseph Raz Passes

Deeply saddened to learn of the death of my esteemed teacher Joseph Raz, Professor of Philosophy of Law at Oxford University and author of, among other important works, *Practical Reason and Norms* and *The Morality of Freedom*. Analytic philosophy has lost a giant.

Desperately sad news that Joseph Raz died in London this morning. He was a giant of philosophy. I will always feel deeply privileged that he was my teacher and friend. RIP.

Bouyer > Latin Trad Assessment

When Bishop Athanasius Schneider assesses the state of the modern Church he sees a period of liturgical exile, of Eucharistic crisis, that permeates from a “distorted understanding of what is really the Holy Mass.”https://t.co/4I9S98LU5z

A Latin View of Sacrifice

Prayerfully praying the Sorrowful Mysteries can actually do more to unite one to the Sacrifice of the Altar than listening to uninspiring homilies and singing banal hymns. Therefore it can allow one to participate more fully in the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass.

The 'Synodal process' smiles on women's ordination. Below: official Synod material. So JPII's magisterial ruling bites the dust. Meanwhile trads nastily persecuted.
