The last exchange of fire before the opening of the work. The uncertainty about the procedure. The appeals to the pope. Why in the end it will be he alone who will draw the conclusions

Will Have a Talk by a Priest Who Favors Traditional Sacred Music Soon
For a local young adult group. Would he disagree with Merton's assessment? I believe we'll be sampling some attempts to meld traditional sacred music with English.

No Bells on the Censer!
Dominican Liturgy: Incense and Thuribles in the Dominican Rite
4. When the thurifer (or priest or deacon) incenses, this is done without any swinging of the censer during the ductus. Thus there is no chain-clanking. The motion is straight up and down, entirely silent. Dominican incensing is always silent: it should not distract from the music or the liturgical actions it embellishes.

Fr. Hunwicke: The Council: Essential Reading
Meanwhile, in Italy, Dr Serafino M Lanzetta, of the Franciscans of the Immaculate, was responsible for a succession of writings: including, in 2012, Iuxta modum: Il Vaticano II riletto alla luce della tradizione della Chiesa and in 2014 his doctoral thesis Il Vaticano II: un Concilio Pastorale: Ermeneutica delle doctrine Conciliari. Rumours, of course, spread that the persecution of the Friars and the suppression of their publishing house were not unrelated to its list of publications. It was not a surprise when that astute fellow the Bishop of Portsmouth secured the services of this distinguished young theologian for his diocese: Fr Serafino, and a group of brothers and sisters, now work in a Gosport parish where, in precisely the style of the old Victorian Anglo-Catholic clergy houses and parish sisterhoods, they are conducting a personal visitation of every home in their parish. Goodness me, how upset everybody is at the Tablet, poor dear poppets. Rumour has it that Dr Lanzetta's books are to appear in English translations. Pronto!!

Chiesa: Bergoglio’s First Time in the United States by Sandro Magister
Awaiting him is a Catholic people with contours broader than those set down in the registries. And also highly influenced by the “liberal” trends in matters of marriage and homosexuality. Right on the brink of the synod

The Holiness of the Theotokos
The latest in a series dealing with the Immaculate Conception and such -- Eclectic Orthodoxy: Immaculate Virgin: Predestined Before the Ages
"But does assertion of predestinating grace imply that Mary does not need the salvation of Christ? Duns Scotus famously addressed this question in the 13th century and argued that by his atoning sacrifice on the Cross, Christ “merited to take away this most heavy penalty [of original sin] from his Most Blessed Mother.” Ahead of time, as it were, Mary is redeemed from sin by her son, the incarnate Son."
Scotus and and the tricky language of merit, as it is tied to a particular Latin view of atonement?
Germ cell theory and the Theotokos being purified through the contact with Christ, we have a problem -- the germ cells are not identical with the body of Christ, though one of them does develop, mature and become the egg used in the Holy Conception of Christ.
How is the Virgin Mary sanctified apart from Christ, without participating in Christ, if she is a woman of the New Covenant? A correspondence with the righteous of the Old Covenant?
