Peace of soul

There's a lot of fud being spread concerning the latest eruption in the crisis of the Church.

The problem is that when given incorrect information people will almost certainly make bad decisions.

This leads back to the absolute necessity of maintaining a strong spiritual life. With this it is possible to maintain perspective.

OF SEEKING PEACE OF MIND AND OF SPIRITUAL PROGRESS

We may enjoy abundance of peace if we refrain from busying ourselves with the sayings and doings of others, and things which concern not ourselves. How can he abide long time in peace who occupieth himself with other men's matters, and with things without himself, and meanwhile payeth little or rare heed to the self within? Blessed are the single-hearted, for they shall have abundance of peace.

So, first we have to take care of our souls before engaging in the warfare of the soul.

I am concerned for Louie verrechio as there appears (to me) a lot of anger and nor enough peace of soul emanating from his writing.

Perhaps Louie is simply going through the stages of grieving and presently is in the anger stage. The sspx passed through this stage in the 70/80's.

We are past the time for righteous anger. Now is the time for acceptance that this pontificate is simply the end-point foreseen in the 70's by Archbishop Lefevre.

This is a very long war and not one that will be won by the impetuous.

Is it sinful to attend the Novus Ordo (New Mass) - Is it Sinful to Not Attend the Novus Ordo on Sunday?

By
+ JMJ A non-SSPX Catholic is upset over the SSPX statements on not attending the Novus Ordo Missae. Ladies and gentlemen, what the SSPX, or at least its website editor, is advocating is a mortal sin against the Third Commandment.  Unless the priest deviates from the language of the Sacramentary, the consecration, and thus the rest of Mass is to be considered valid.  No one may elect not to attend Mass simply because abuses are occurring therein.  Might I suggest that such absenteeism is its own abuse?  The Third Commandment binds under mortal sin.  Father So-And-So from the SSPX has no authority whatsoever to excuse attendance at Mass, be that Mass ever so unpalatable. Source:Restore DC Catholicism Well, this is interesting. First why does the SSPX issue this statement? Because it is sinful to put your faith in danger by attending a protestant service.  It is likewise dangerous to put your faith in danger by attending a protestantized mass (ie the Novus Ordo Missae

Regarding Post: Fr. Joseph Pfeiffer no longer ... now Bishop Joseph Pfeiffer (Can't see this being a problem...)

By
 + JMJ   I've been watching the popularity of the post about Fr. Pfeiffer's attempted episcopal consecration and its continued top listing on the 'popular posts' list at the bottom of posts.  After some thought, I decided that I don't want to be responsible for anyone joining Fr. Pfeiffer's 'group', however unlikely that would be at this time. So I have reverted the article to the draft state. If anyone wants it reinstated, I would ask that they comment on this post with a rationale for reinstatement. P^3

Morning and Evening and other sundry Prayers

By
+ JMJ Along the theme of P^3 (Prayer, Penance, Patience), and for my own reference ... here is a collection of Morning and Evening prayers from the Ideal Daily Missal along with some additional prayers. In this crisis of the Church, I do not think it is possible to do too much prayer, penance and have patience. P^3

War: Culture

By
 + JMJ  The culture that permeates Western culture is actually difficult to pin down. There is a constant tension between the liberals and the conservatives.  However, the question is, what have the conservative managed to conserve? In this case, in my opinion (IMO), the conservatives are fighting a losing battle because they, like much of Western Culture have become disconnected from the root of Western Culture, Catholicism.  What's more Catholicism has likewise become disconnected from its own roots.  God created nature to abhor a vacuum so something has be replace what has been abandoned. In this case, Liberal Catholicism and Modernism have filled the gap. So to fix modern culture before it completely self-destructs, it is necessary for its root, the Catholic Church, to re-anchor itself - prophesized by St. Don Bosco as to the Eucharist and the Blessed Virgin Mary. The true culture wars are those in the hearts and minds of the people who collectively make the culture.  So - imo
