It Could Only Be Written by a Latin Traditionalist?
The debate on intelligibility continues... Let us tease apart the different parts: the texts of the prayers, the translations, and the not-so-sacred music - intelligibility that is based on pandering to the "lowest common denominator" is wrong-headed, but this is not a sufficient argument for retaining everything in Latin or keeping the EF as is.

Respectable (Liberal) Professional Catholics’ Attempt to Sack Film Backfires
A Contradiction?
The common good proper to a political community? That requires integration. The common good that exists

Chiesa: The Myth and Reality of Second Marriages among the Orthodox by Sandro Magister
There is a widespread opinion that the Eastern Churches permit a new marriage after divorce, and give communion to the remarried. But this is not the case, as Nicola Bux explains. Only the first marriage is celebrated as a true sacrament
(Bux's essay is also at Rorate Caeli)

Patristics
Fr. Jungmann locates a split between "classical" Christianity and ... what is the label he uses? Anyway, just because the Byzantine Chalcedonian Christians may be more "Patristic" does not mean that they would escape his criticism of how Christian liturgy evolved. (Does his criticism apply to the history of Christian spirituality as well?)

Sandro Magister: One the Embrace, Many the Divisions
The encounter between Francis and Bartholomew at the basilica of the Holy Sepulchre. But there's rupture between the Greek Orthodox patriarchs of Jerusalem and Antioch. And open conflict between Constantinople and Moscow, on the question of primacy. The anti-papal sentiment of Eastern Christians

"God become one of us." =? "God became a man" vs. "God became man."
Is it be problematic (or even heretical) to say, "God become one of us"? Does it necessary imply that God became a human person? At the very least it seems equivalent to "God became a human individual" or "God became a individual human."

Living Liberalism
Catholics have adopted the liberal viewpoint regarding reason.
An accurate narrative of what happened? Or was there some "coercion" involved in so far as permission was withdrawn? (That is to say, reasons that did not fully persuade were not given before such action was taken, and not everyone was satisfied with the outcome.)

There are some who want it to be the supreme body of Church governance, a sort of “permanent council.” But Vatican II ruled this out. Cardinals Müller and Ruini explain why, in agreement with Ratzinger as cardinal and pope
