Crisis in the Church / Pual VI Smoke of Satan quote source
« Last post by St Giles on Today at 06:30:03 PM »
I found this quote below in a SSPX pamphlet. I looked it up to find some context and can't find the full quote because the sermon is just a paraphrased summary. Is there a recording somewhere of the full sermon?

"We believed that after the Council would come a day of sunshine in the history of the Church. But instead there has come a day of clouds and storms, and of darkness.... How did this come about? We will confide to you the thought that may be, we ourselves admit in free discussion, that may be unfounded, and that is that there has been a power, an adversary power. Let us call him by his name: the devil. It is as if from some mysterious crack, no, it is not mysterious, from some crack the smoke of Satan has entered the temple of God." Pope Paul VI Sermon on June 29, 1972

Animals have now been given "family status" by Canadian court.
The decision comes three months after amendments made to the Family Law Act clarify that pets or "companion animals" are members of the family.

 - The wife of a victim presents a letter to Fr. G. , who then turned away. He was not immediately found. ...



Yes, this is the one I was talking about.

My memory is faulty. :fryingpan:

I thought that there was a video, and that he abruptly turned away after receiving the letter from "Claude" himself.

‘All that exists outside God was, in its whole substance, produced
out of nothing by God. (De fide.) (Vatican Council I, 1870)

‘Substance,’ we know from classic philosophy means, ‘what something is,’ all finished, and not what something is becoming or can become as evolution claims. But since the 1820 volte-face, even this supernatural dogma had to be modernised.
How does substance relate to matter and form? How does matter and form differ when comparing large and small things, composed and elemental?

That would be a pretty extreme scenario. I kind of doubt they will go that route. Lots of people would leave and form other societies.

If this were true, and a great number of SSPX-ers understood what +ABL and the SSPX were about, the Resistance would be HUGE right now. Because the neo-SSPX has done some serious things, some real red flags, that would upset +ABL if he were still on earth. 

Unfortunately, the facts of recent history seem to disagree with your assumption here.

I also want to make an interesting observation here. Unlike Father Robinson, Father Rusak has virtually zero online presence. If you search the man up online, you’re hard pressed to even find an image of him. He hasn’t been featured on any podcasts or SSPX websites, he is the prior of a small, “backwater” SSPX priory while Fr Robison is in charge of a massive church and school. Yet Fr Rusak was ordained in the 80’s. Hmmm let’s think about why that might be?!?

I have utmost respect for Fr Rusak. Every year he drives for days at a time into the Canadian arctic to offer Masses for handfuls of people.

Catholic Living in the Modern World / Re: First communion traditions
« Last post by Miseremini on Today at 03:46:06 PM »
Back in the decades before the fall (Vat II) the May crowning of Our Blessed Mother was always done on the LAST Sunday of May.  The reason being is that May 31st is the feast of the Queenship of Mary so the crowning was the closest Sunday to the feast. 
Also (at least in my climate) Lilacs and peonies bloom, so as the song goes "from garden and woodland and hillside and vale", we gathered flowers in bloom and the aroma filling the church was heavenly.
I've always felt sad that the SSPX changed the tradition to the beginning of May when we can only bring store bought flowers.  Also a crowning is at the end of something... probably that's why Her feast is the very end of May after a month of devotions, novenas etc.

There was a procession...first the first communicants in their white dresses and veils then Our Lady's Sodality.  These were unmarried girls and young women and were considered Our Queen's ladies in waiting...all in long white gowns.  All were presumed virgins as no married women were allowed in the sodality.  Married women belonged to the Christian Mothers Society.  The president of the sodality crowned the statue.

Often the crowning was in the church, but I remember participating when the numbers warranted an altar to be built and lavishly adorned in the attached school yard. That's when the number of parishoners far exceeded the capacity of the church.

At least one year when I participated as a senior choir member, the Bishop rented the Hamilton Tiger Cats football stadium and people from all the parishes in the diocese came for Mass and a huge procession with floats and choirs and sodalities and the various church organizations with their beautiful banners, from many parishes.  Everyone brought a picnic breakfast as the fast was from midnight.

I know I have photos of the school yard event and also the stadium event.  If I can scan them I'll post them.

Thanks, I need to read these through myself.  I have only given them a cursory glance.
