LaramieHirsch had started a thread two days earlier, about this request from Bishop Slattery,
here, which I had not seen yet when I opened this thread.
So there are three differences in the version I had heard: Laramie's thread including a copy of the letter from +Slattery, makes no mention of the "May Christ Our Lord..." prayer, and there is no specific mention of the "Long Form Leonine prayer," as I had heard. He simply says
"a special prayer," as follows: "On Assumption Day, August 15th, we will ask Our Lady on her Feast, to intercede for us and protect us. On that day I in the Cathedral, and every priest in his own parish, will pray
a special prayer written by Pope Leo XIII for the defense of the Church against the attack of the Enemy and his apostate angels." And finally, +Slattery is merely asking for a "decade" but I had heard he was asking for a Rosary.
It seems my source had probably been misinformed by another source. When different versions of such a request circulate, it only adds to confusion, as we have seen taking place in the SSPX when at least 5 different versions of the Rosary intentions were "officially" disseminated in various regions of the world. In that case, the difference might at least be attributable to the fact that there were 5 languages and therefore 4 of them were translations of the French original.
But +Slattery is only dealing in English, so there is no language excuse.
Let me ask you readers a question:
Do you find it noteworthy that none (as in zero) of our sedevacantist members at CI have posted any comment regarding this problem of the Black Mass in OK?
Is it at all possible that they think that a satanic black mass on taxpayer property in public is of no concern for sedevacantists? Or, are they merely unwilling to contribute any prayers for the cancellation of such a blasphemy because then they would be "praying with heretics" that is, other Catholics who are not sedevacantists?
I'm going to do Laramie a favor and abstain from any mention of these controversies on his thread, and confine them to this thread and I would ask the same of other members. I think he would appreciate that.
