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.

A Contradiction?

The common good proper to a political community? That requires integration. The common good that exists
between communities? That requires respect and justice - and refraining from exploitation. So what do the Gypsies offer

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)



Fr. Hunwicke responds to Archimandrite Taft regarding which councils are to be considered ecumenical? (via NLM) See also his subsequent posts.

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?)
