Australia's Bishops have approved a liturgy that includes elements of Aboriginal language and culture. A motion was passed at the plenary meeting of the Australian Bishops' Conference in Sydney on Tuesday. It is called the "Mass of the Land of the Holy Spirit - Missa Terrae Spiritus Sancti". The rite will now be submitted to the Dicastery for Divine Worship for official approval by the Vatican, which approves everything that is not Catholic. The Eucharist has been used in the Diocese of Broome for over 50 years with very mediocre results. It is presided over in several local languages, and was approved in 1973 as a 'culturally adapted' liturgy 'ad experimentum' [that is, for ever]. A local Aboriginal Council described the rite as "a distinctive Mass that beautifully blends Catholic tradition with Aboriginal culture to create a unique celebration of faith [in what?] that has served the diocese for over five decades". "It symbolises a bridge that connects our spiritual beliefs with the …More

St. Patrick's Church in Belfast, Ireland, was turned into a cinema on 7 May to show the film "Young Frankenstein", an American parody of the classic horror film genre with no pretence of serious content. The occasion was the 50th anniversary of the film. The £10-a-seat event was sold out. It is officially forbidden to hold chargeable events in churches. The organisers said: "We can't think of a better venue than the truly gothic St Patrick's Church for this celebration of one of the funniest and most cinematically beautiful films of all time!" No one disputes that a parody is perfectly suited to a church that makes itself a parody of the Church. #newsBwuqtohbyl

The decadent Vatican is teaming up with the 'Fratelli Tutti Foundation' to host the second 'World Meeting on Human Fraternity' (May 10-11). Knowing that nobody is interested in this, the Vatican turns the event into a concert hoping to attract people in this way. Cardinal Mauro Gambetti, archpriest of St Peter's, announced the programme at a press conference on 7 May. According to the Fratelli Tutti Foundation, this 2024 event follows on from the supposed "success of last year". In reality, that first meeting, which took place in June 2023, featured the homosexual dancer Roberto Bolle and was an embarrassing flop in terms of attendance (pictures). Speakers in 2024 include winners of the discredited Nobel Peace Prize, political activists, economist Jeffrey Sachs and Nelson Mandela's wife Graca Machel Mandela. Francis will lead an event with children in the Vatican's new Synod Hall. The closing concert on the steps of St Peter's on 11 May will feature Italian composer Giovanni Allevi, …More

Joyous Feast of the Accession today starts. The novena in honor of the Holy Ghost is the oldest of all novenas since it was first made at the directions of Our Lord Himself when He sent His Apostles back to Jerusalem to await the coming of the Holy Ghost on the first Pentecost. It is still the only novena prescribed by the Church. traditionalcatholic.net/Tradition/Prayer/Holy_Ghost_Novena.html

Her fiance, Guido, now a Deacon, was present for the Beatification Mass. Blessed Sandra wasn't content with living an ordinary life. From the time of her childhood, she desired a life of holiness. Starting when she was 10 years old, Sandra kept a diary, in which she wrote, “A life lived without God is just a way of passing time, whether it’s boring or fun, time to be filled in while waiting for death.” In 1974, Blessed Sandra became acquainted with the Pope John XXIII Community in Italy. That summer she spent time volunteering with young people who had disabilities. It left a profound mark on her soul and she later said to her mother, “We worked till we dropped, but these are people I’ll never leave.” As a teenager, Blessed Sandra would frequently use the pocket money from her parents to give to the poor, leaving almost nothing for herself. Her heart was focused on the most vulnerable of society and she wanted to help them in any way possible. Blessed Sandra graduated from high school …More

I suppose I shouldn't have been surprised, but here we are. I stumbled across the video online. Not going to post a link here because its utterly blasphemous. But this is something that we should take note of - the pagans trying to turn private revelation (even that held most dearly by Catholics) against us.
