This prophecy was fulfilled in January of 1938. It was not the aurora borealis, as pagans claim, since it appeared in the southern part of the sky. The aurora borealis is only seen towards the north in the northern hemisphere. Our Lady said it would be "an unknown light". The aurora borealis was definitely not an unknown light, but pagans won't admit anything miraculous, so that's how they explained it away.

And sure enough, it was not long after that miracle in 1938 that God punished the world for its crimes by means of war, etc.

Absolutely Correct Yeti. It was a sign gone lost in human history.

Canon Law is designed for the proper ordering of the Church in normal times.  In times of disarray, confusion, persecution, necessity, and turmoil, apart from those elements in Canon Law that are mere restatements of Divine Law or natural law, the rest are prudential calculations for keeping proper order in the Church during normal times, with all of them ultimately being ordered toward the salus animarum.  And, during normal times, that's exactly what those laws do.  In times of crisis, however, some of the human-law canonical provisions could in fact militate against the overaching principle of the salvation of souls.  In normal times, during the 1940s or 1950s, no priest could just decide to break off and set up his own chapel and his own "Society" of priests.  But during things like persecution under the Communists or the Arian crisis (where orthodox bishops went around consecrating Catholic bishops that had been usurped by Arians), or now the Conciliar Crisis, where 95% of the putative hierarchy and faithful demonstrably lack the Catholic faith (denying, by their own polls, one dogma or another), and yet have wrested control of the material offices from Catholics, all that goes out the window.  There's such a thing as material error as well, such as the famous case of St. Vincent Ferrer siding with an Antipope.  Did he thereby lose his "canonical mission"?  Of course not, since theologians explain that you can retain your jurisdiction (such as for him to hear Confessions) even via "color of title".  This is a Salza-esque reduction of the Church to legalisms (and human-law legalisms at that), to the point that those guys must conclude that Joe Biden is more Catholic than Archbishop Lefebvre.

Here's a solid example of where lower-level laws are ordered to the higher-level, and if the lower-level laws militate against the higher-level laws, not only are they no longer binding, but in fact they are prohibited by the higher-level law against which they militate.

Yes, good explanation. If LeDeg wants to know about lawful clergy, he might start by reading about law in St Thomas: "In time of necessity, there is no law" - S. Th. IaIIae Q96 A6. "Since then the lawgiver cannot have in view every single case, he shapes the law according to what happens most frequently... Wherefore, if a case arise wherein the observance of that law would be harmful to the common good, it should not be observed".

Something else came to mind this afternoon. Was there a rule , maybe canon law 1917, that restricted even those who could enter the Sacrosanct area, the Sanctuary?  For starters, the communion rail is clearly a first barrier. Some rails have a dead bolt to further secure the gates, if there are any. Then I always thought that ONLY priests, clerics, seminarians, basically anyone vested with religious garb were permitted in the sanctuary. Look at some Eastern Rite churches - they usually have major iconostasis, so that speaks volumes about the sacredness of their sanctuaries. " The doors, the doors; let us be attentive!"

    Regarding the offering " collection" at the offertory, I was always told that the basket with the money had to be placed in the sanctuary, right away, before the consecration took place, so it would then be really close to the sacrifice at the altar, so be part of the service / oblation. However, the man who took the collection was never allowed to enter the sanctuary, so the basket was sometimes slid in through the communion rail, or passed along to an altar boy etc...Pretty difficult to steal when it is in plain view! (There are hundreds of disturbing crimes that revolve around stolen collections. btw )
   Only statues pictures of saints, angels could find their place in the sanctuary. Our chapel had two adoring angels on the ledge beside the candles, beautiful really. Then one Sunday we went to mass but the angels had disappeared; the sspx priest explained something to the effect that it was not proper to have angels on an altar, as they caused a distraction from a liturgical point of view. ..!!??  Some convent chapels have wings where the choir sings, and not especially visible, to avoid flappers, distractions. So I suppose the take away is this: Laity is formally not welcome in the sanctuary. The list could go on...
   In the Novus Ordo, well, ummm, dah people of God are encouraged to 'Step right up folks". The sense of sacredness is 95% gone, reverence of holy things is frowned upon, and things are probably deteriorating every day moving forward.
