The DDW prefect seems out of touch with reality. Despite his insistence, the use of Latin, ad orientem, etc., is being prominently, actively *prohibited* in many diocese in the Ordinary Form. If a demand that trads embrace the NO is to be at all credible, they need to respond.

At today's Angelus, the Pope said: ‘Dear friends, during some recent medical examinations, doctors found a small, localised nodule in my lung. It was detected at a very early stage and is well localised. The doctors believe it is advisable to remove it, so I have decided to follow their advice and undergo surgery. The operation has already been scheduled for the coming days. I thank you for your spiritual closeness and entrust myself to your prayers.’

At the Vatican today, Sister Helen Alford, O.P. suggested that Jesus was initially "flirting" with the Samaritan woman at the well in the Gospel of John - a theory cooked up by "one of my Dominican brothers." She is the President of the Pontifical Academy of Social Sciences. 🤡

Two years as a priest in Rome, and I still have not been able to get an appointment to say Mass at one of the altars or in the crypt: every time I applied the answer was no! I hope that private Masses are restored before I leave next year!

Il Papa: "È impossibile considerare normale togliere la vita. Ciò che è legale non è necessariamente morale!" "So che per alcuni di voi, a causa di particolari patologie e di dolori talvolta terribili, l’orizzonte può apparire cupo, incerto, senza via d’uscita. Ma nessuna legge umana deve farvi perdere la certezza della vostra dignità. Al contrario, è proprio in nome di questa dignità inalienabile della persona umana che la tentazione di togliere la vita con il pretesto di una falsa compassione deve essere fermamente respinta. È impossibile considerare normale togliere la vita. Ciò che è legale non è necessariamente morale"

Moving scenes as Pope Leo XIV cries as thousands of faithful sing the Salve Regina in Latin to honour Our Lady of Paris, on the steps of the Cathedral of Notre-Dame de Paris.
