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”

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).

Are you kidding?
The Orthodox already believe they are the one true Church! The same Neocatechumenal Way whose liturgies would be scandalous to the Orthodox. The hubris.
There is No Mean...
Between the Latin traditionalists and those who would seek to remake the Roman Church in accordance with their ideas. The mean used to be occupied, perhaps, by those in the Ressourcement movement, but what influence do they or their successors have now?

What are the economics behind married priests in the Roman rite?
1P5: Tosatti & Magister See Married Priests on the Horizon
Only possible where there is a financial base to support priests with families (large parishes) or parishes that have a "full-time" celibate priest and pastor and one "part-time" married priest who has a regular day job; or perhaps older men who have already served deacons will be ordained to the priesthood.

The Dispatch: Politics and the inherent dilemmas of “liberal democracy”
Instead of the primacy of the contemplative order, modernity elevates the practical order to be supreme. With this abandonment of “being,” it is action that becomes man’s fundamental earthly endeavor.

The Catholic Herald: Tug of of war over Amoris by Fr. Mark Drew
Catholics are divided over how far Francis wants to change Church teaching regarding the remarried. But does he even have the authority to do so?
Also from Fr. Mark Drew:
The new Orthodox-Catholic agreement is a landmark – but there’s a long way to go
The Joint Commission for Theological Dialogue announced a substantial agreement but healing the historic schism still requires plenty of work

Fr. Hunwicke: Bishop Fellay and Mutual Enrichment
It is very much to the Holy Father's credit that, apparently, he has lowered the doctrinal bar for reconciliation, in line with the interesting remarks made by Archbishop Pozzo ... who had (or has a friend who had) clearly been diving into the Conciliar archives and unearthing formal statements made in the aula about the non-binding status of certain documents. And the Pope's statement that he had not spoken infallibly when he performed certain recent canonisations must help reconciliation. Obviously, a formula of canonisation does not fall within the parameters of Pastor aeternus; additionally, there is significance in the changes Pope Francis made in the rites of Canonisation.
The Wisdom Commentary Series
From Liturgical Press, of course. How many Catholic publishers will survive the cratering of the American economy remains to be seen, but I hope LP is one of the first to go, given its support of heterodoxy.

Chiesa: Not Enough Celibate Priests? Make Way For Married Priests
This is the remedy being considered by Cardinal Hummes and Pope Francis for regions with a scarcity of clergy, starting with the Amazon. But there were also few missionaries in 17th-century China, and yet the Church flourished. It’s all in “La Civiltà Cattolica”
