Pastor Doug Wilson proposed the idea of banning Catholic processions in a future where Protestants have achieved cultural hegemony. In this he was acting just like (checks notes) the lion of 20th century Liberal Party leadership, Prime Minister Herbert Asquith. nationalreview.com/2026/03/libera…

@TooMuchCoffee67 That is like me genuflecting at Anglican tabernacles (while mumbling about the Dutch Touch & better safe than sorry).

The fun thing about all Anglican orders being invalid, is there is a sense this new development doesn't change anything, so the form letters can stay the same.
(Welby wasn't an Archbishop in the eyes of God or the Church either - Just an Anglican one under the laws of England).

This entire statement is a disgrace! This woman is NOT an “archbishop,” or even clergy, and should not be addressed as such. But to invoke the Holy Spirit and the Blessed Virgin in her new role is horrifying! press.vatican.va/content/salast…

@WalkingHymnal Very much agree. Some of the videos of Masses from the second half of the 60s are remarkably beautiful of the experimental transitions. Watch the RFK funeral from 1968 for a fascinating interim moment.
English
Literally this. Especially when you understand the *actual history* of what happened between 1965 & 1970.
Again I will die on the hill that if we would've just kept the Missal of 65, which was the *actual Mass that came out of V2*, so much of the Liturgy Wars would be null.

Worth remembering that literally every Pope since the Council, except John Paul I due to lack of time, has changed the rules around the Vetus ordo. Which makes all the people turning themselves into a pretzel to avoid the fact Leo is about to do the same somehow funnier.

@hf_222222 💯💯💯 While Pseudo-Canterbury lacks the capacity to be a bishop and Welby does posses the capacity to be a bishop, neither are.
English
@hf_222222 Indeed, indeed. I wonder if any pope lasting longer than 30 days has “not” tinkered with the main Latin rite liturgy in some way.

Its like, chill, you will survive returning to the deep, dark time of ... Pope Benedict XVI.
The copeium required to avoid the fact Leo commissioned Parolin to repeat a very clear message twice on the other hand - That might be dangerous for your health.

@WalkingHymnal Someday people will see the pattern that Cupich boots the priests/bishops he doesn’t like into dioceses. They aren’t his acolytes! He wasn’t very effusive over Hicks becoming his peer!
English
I remember when he was first named Bishop of Peoria & everyone was in crisis mode saying he was an acolyte of Cupich & he was sent to permanently halt or delay the Cause on behalf of Cupich.
And now Bishop Tylka is a major proponent of Sheen.
Boy those people are quiet now.....

This isn’t Christian. This is pure evil. No one is beyond mercy. God’s justice is his mercy. AP: “At Pentagon Christian service, Hegseth prays for violence ‘against those who deserve no mercy.” apnews.com/article/pete-h…

@RichRaho Your interpretation is colored by your politics. How can you disagree with the statement that there are people who deserve no mercy?? No one “deserves” mercy. Mercy is inherently a gift if the one giving mercy. Good grief.

@CatholicFQ It has nothing to do with respecting the authority of the pope. It is a legal act confirming promulgation and authenticity of the seal.
English
In his last act at his final public appearance, the retiring Apostolic Nuncio Cardinal Christophe Pierre read the Proclamation of Pope Leo XIV appointing Archbishop Golka as Archbishop of Denver. He then presented it to him in Latin. When a bishop is installed, he takes the Decree and presents it to the Presbyteral Council of Priests and then to all the priests of the diocese and then the entire congregation. It’s a beautiful tradition respecting the authority of the Pope.

@papalsupremacy Every bishop is the vicar of Christ in his diocese.

We are blessed to have Pope Leo XIV as our Vicar of Christ.

The phrase « sincerely attached » seems loaded.
Who are the insincere ones, may we ask? And are we right to imagine that there may be those who are insincerely attached to the NO?
Catholic Sat@CatholicSat
Pope Leo XIV in a message to the French Bishops, tells them to find generous solutions to include those attached to the Traditional Latin Mass: “Dear brothers, you finally intend to address the delicate subject of the Liturgy, to which the Holy Father is particularly attentive, in the context of the growth of communities bound to the Vetus Ordo. It is troubling that a painful wound concerning the celebration of Mass, the very sacrament of unity, continues to open in the Church. To heal it, a new way of looking at one another, with a greater understanding of each other's sensitivities, is certainly necessary; a way of looking that can allow brothers, enriched by their diversity, to welcome one another in charity and the unity of faith. May the Holy Spirit suggest to you concrete solutions that will allow for the generous inclusion of those sincerely attached to the Vetus Ordo, in accordance with the guidelines established by the Second Vatican Council regarding the Liturgy.”

Interesting take. Anglo law cuts both ways. Sometimes it is a harsh command oriented law, like the view of Northern Europeans. Other times it gets obsessed with ticking and tying logic for no great benefit. But it’s rarely “aspirational” the way southern Europeans often view law. C

Which wouldn’t reverse AL’s famous footnote, but would basically eliminate most episcopal objections to it, even though it still wouldn’t be JPII’s rule.
And still leave all the online twittering classes confused as to where to place Leo, but that might be a feature not a bug.
English
I was musing on what it is about Amoris, that Pope Leo is looking to ... ah ... update, and it occurred to me the fact he seems to “care about law in an *Anglo* way” might be the key.
Scott Smith@hf_222222
All jokes about the Pope’s MAGA boomer brother aside, and their obvious disagreements, this actually seems to give some of the first real insights into Leo. Economically left wing & pastoral, but not doctrinally progressive, and cares about law in an *anglo* way.
