Why is the English translation of the collect today so far from the Latin?
From the pastor, Father Coleman, posted 1 May 2026: “Dear Our Lady of Grace community, I want to address false posts on social media suggesting the denial of Holy Communion to a family kneeling at our altar rail during a Confirmation Mass on Tuesday. The assertion that Bishop Martin refused them Communion is fabricated, as the bishop did not even participate in the distribution of Holy Communion. In fact, Bishop Martin was gracious enough to join us to celebrate and confirm 34 young people in their faith. I (as pastor) and three other priests handled the distribution of Communion to more than 300 people who attended, some of whom knelt at any one of our Communion stations. None were denied. One family walked past our Communion stations and knelt at the altar rail. We do not distribute Communion at the altar rail. Sadly, certain agenda-driven bloggers posted about this matter without checking the facts. I encourage our parishioners and anybody visiting our church to be unified at this special moment of Communion and to follow the norms of the Church. God bless. Father Coleman Pastor”
Una fiesta muy popular en muchos sitios de España es el Día de la Cruz, que se celebra el 3 de mayo. Entre esos lugares ocupa un puesto muy importante Granada pues aquí su celebración se remontaría a 1625, cuando se festejó la construcción de una cruz en el barrio de San Lázaro.
So all the priests refused to give them Holy Communion in the presence od the bishop who could not be bothered. Got it. @pontifex
I terroristi dello Stato islamico hanno raso al suolo una chiesa in Mozambico. Con un assalto al villaggio di Meza e dando fuoco a tutte le strutture, hanno distrutto anche la parrocchia, la casa dei padri scolopi e un asilo. Una violenza inaudita che condanniamo. L’ennesimo attacco contro i simboli e i luoghi di culto cristiani. Per fortuna non ci sono state conseguenze per i civili e tutti i missionari stanno bene. La loro fede è più forte dei miliziani islamisti che tengono in ostaggio tutta la regione di Cabo Delgado nel nord del Mozambico.

Roman Missal, from GIRM 160: “The faithful communicate either kneeling or standing, as has been determined by the norms of the Conference of Bishops.” (Catholic Truth Society edition, page 69; a translation of the original Latin, without modification by a Conference of Bishops). 2004 Instruction Redemptionis Sacramentum, n. 91: “Therefore, it is not licit to deny Holy Communion to any of Christ’s faithful solely on the grounds, for example, that the person wishes to receive the Eucharist kneeling or standing.” It appears to me the grounds were not about posture, they were about location. I think a bishop has a right and duty to encourage people to receive in the manner determined by the Conference of Bishops. Providing kneelers or using communion rails, where the decision is standing, does the opposite: it encourages kneeling. GIRM “160. The Priest then takes the paten or ciborium and approaches the communicants, who usually come up in procession.” It is unreasonable to require the Priest to give communion to someone who is uncooperative, refusing to come up in procession. To someone wanting to receive Communion in a special location, which his bishop has decided is not appropriate: “The use of altar rails, kneelers, and prie-dieus are not to be utilized for the reception of Communion in public celebrations by January 16, 2026.” charlottediocese.org/communications…
Why, oh why, is 77-year-old Arch-Modernist Cupich still in charge in Chicago? rorate-caeli.blogspot.com/2026/05/why-oh…
JUST IN: Transalpine Redemptorists issue letter saying “the false teaching of Vatican II separates us from the Catholic Church” They add “we cannot accept the current pretenders to the papacy from the time of the Second Vatican Council” @PerMariam — open.substack.com/pub/permariam/…
The Holy Father Pope Leo XIV has once again authorized & approved the Ad Petram Sedem Pilgrimage 2026 to celebrate a Pontifical Solemn High Mass in the Extraordinary Form at the Altar of the Chair in St. Peter's Basilica on Saturday, October 24th.
I'd be more impressed if he'd done something comparable in China where he has essentially given the Chinese Communist Party control of the Church there.
