Edit: the Knights of Columbus is not divinely established and can be abolished. He recommends that individual counsels resign from the central organization, since they can't admonish pro-Abort or even Masonic members.
It's pretty telling that those professional Catholics have chosen to stick with the CINO organizations representign assets close to a billion dollars, rather than stick with the truth, but what's especially reprehensible is that they've attacked those voices calling attention to these deviations from Catholic truth.

Cardinal Burke Says Religion "Purifies" Politics
.- Cardinal Raymond Burke, head of the Vatican's highest court, said on Aug. 2 that without religion in society, political leaders run the risk violating the fundamental human rights of citizens.
“All nations should guarantee the free exercise of religion, which aims to protect the teaching and practice of religious faith for the sake of the common good,” said Cardinal Burke, prefect of the Apostolic Signatura.
“When reason is not purified by faith in the political realm,” he warned, “the powerful and influential of the time exercise a tyranny which violates the fundamental rights of the very people whom political leaders are called to serve.”

Maximilian Krah Implies Legal Action Against Ignis Ardens, Again
 |
| Agent Without Portfolio |
It is absolutely fine when there are discussions about the Williamson trial on Ignis Ardens, including my witness, which I gave on request of the defence and to their full satisfaction. Anyway, I kindly ask you for deleting such comments which once again refer to so-called 'krahgate' or are simply aggressive against me. A serious part of statements in the discussion on the 'Bishop Williamson Appeal' is a 'krahgate' revival. There was a clear statement by Fr Morgan about it, and I hope you will accept and enforce it. As shown with the sedisvacantist virgo-maria.org page, the SSPX is not accepting such slanderous campagns in the web any longer. A page like IA which states its SSPX-friendship must not take part in such campagns. It is, for example, hard to understand when a declared atheist like Lady Renouf is alowed to blame the chosen authority of the SSPX, Bishop Fellay. All this happens under your responsibility.
So please delete all 'Krahgate'-related comments in the 'BW appeal' thread.
If you have any further questions, please don't hesistiate to email me: [edit] - it is definitly better to speak with somebody instead speaking about him, isn't it? We are both Catholics and SSPX-faithful und should be able to handle this issue without the hepl of a secular judge.
Sincerely yours,
MK
PS: When reading the hate-inspired comments of persons like 'Ethelred' (whose German comments were published under names like 'Leon' and 'Carl') you should see that those who blame me not honourable men, to say the least.

Alleged Sexual Misconduct by Fr. Mel Taylor at Modernist Monastery
Edit: Father Taylor is an alleged Benedictine who was once active at the Modernist Monastery of Collegeville in Minnesota. He is presently in the Bahamas, according to the Pine Curtain. He was born in Sligo, Ireland. This priest was occasionally and very publicly drunk, he was overly friendly on occasion with the students, especially when he was drunk, occasionally wrestling with them which was odd in a way, but there were times when it was downright embarrassing to see him embrace a boy and cherish him in his arms. He was Residency Dean in the Dormitories and as intelligent, streetwise and vigilant as he was, you'd have to be paid handsomely not to believe he wasn't aware of Father Dunstan Moorse, Father Allan Tarelton, Brother John Kelly's homosexual predations.
One student in particular would frequently come to Father Moorse's bedroom suite and even had a key. This student was, it was said, suffering from a profound personal loss.
The student was frequently seen unlocking Father Moorse's door and letting himself in at various hours of the day and night as he passed through the common areas. Father Moorse has multiple accusers. Here's the story sent to the Pine Curtain:

Fr. Mel Taylor used his master key to enter my locked dorm room without my permission. Looking back, I am certain that Fr. Mel knew I was in the room and in my bed enjoying some “private time.” I believe this to be true because he unlocked my door, entered, locked the door and was sitting on my bed … before I was even able to fully pull up my underwear.
Statement from Victim of Fr. Mel Taylor
June 29, 2011
My name is XXXXXX. I am XX years old and currently live in XXXXXX.
Part of my high school education was spent at St. John’s Preparatory School in Collegeville, Minnesota. While attending the “Prep School” in the early 1980s, I lived in the dormitory with dozens of other male Prep School students.
Fr. Mel Taylor, a monk from Saint John’s Abbey, was one of several adult male supervisors, or “prefects”, who lived in a separate section of the dormitory building. During my junior year, Fr. Mel’s official title was “Residency Dean.”
On one occasion during my junior year, Fr. Mel Taylor used his master key to enter my locked dorm room without my permission. Looking back, I am certain that Fr. Mel knew I was in the room and in my bed enjoying some “private time.” I believe this to be true because he unlocked my door, entered, locked the door and was sitting on my bed, all in a matter of seconds. Precisely, before I was even able to fully pull up my underwear.
When Fr. Mel sat down, I was sitting up in the bed without a shirt and had the sheet up to my waist. Fr. Mel began rubbing my chest and then my nipples. He was obviously trying to keep me aroused. He must have sensed that I was uncomfortable because he kept saying things like: “relax” “calm down” “this is ok” and “you are too tense”.
It was difficult for me to react to Fr. Mel’s advances (given his position as priest and prefect) and it took me a few moments to process what was happening. It was clear that Fr. Mel was trying to convince me that his homosexual advances were something I desired though I had never before, nor since, desired such contact. Fr. Mel continued to touch me and it was apparent that he was working himself up to something I knew I did not want.
When I finally did react, I pushed Fr. Mel off the bed. I got out of the bed, with Fr. Mel facing me, and pulled up my underwear. When Fr. Mel didn’t leave, I pushed him physically toward and out of the door.
I never reported this before. I was too embarrassed to deal with the incident or talk about it at the time.
After the incident, I had many questions. Did I do something to provoke Fr. Mel? Why did he choose me? How did he know what I was doing in the room?
At the end of my junior year, I was asked to not return to the Prep School. No specific reason was given other than I was a not a positive influence in the community. I believe that Fr. Mel was part of that decision process. I was allowed to return for my senior year, though under a performance contract.
Fr. Mel Taylor did not return as Residency Dean for my senior year. There were rumors about Fr. Mel’s drinking and about the special attention he paid to his favorite students.
During my senior year, I became more rebellious. My issues with authority increased and I was ultimately kicked out of the school. I graduated from XXXXXXX High School in 19XX.
I cannot help but wonder how many other students were victim to Fr. Mel’s inappropriate homosexual advances — and how many of those young men weren’t able to react in time. And I still wonder how he was able to know what I was doing in the privacy of my own room.
When I found out that Fr. Mel Taylor was still an active priest (in the Bahamas) I felt compelled to tell my story. Fr. Mel Taylor should have been removed from ministry a long time ago.
It has taken years for me to start addressing the issues Fr. Mel created for me. I do not wish this pain or confusion on anyone.

Archduke Otto: Responding to Dr. Trifkovic
[Subscribe online to Chronicles: A Magazine of American Culture. Click here for details].
I read Dr. Srdja Trifkovic’s highly coloured article on ChroniclesMagazine.org about the recently deceased Archduke Otto of Austria with a mixture of surprise and concern. Not a single one of his sources supported the entirely negative picture that he drew.Let’s see why.
“Habsburg was an enthusiastic supporter of the Jihadist side in the Bosnian civil war, visited Sarajevo repeatedly during that war, and had several meetings with Alija Izetbegovic.”

There's a Lot of Discussion About Father Kimmel's Defection to the Orthodox
Editor: Seems to us that the quest for Orthodoxy is a desire fed as much by multiculturalism, as it is by the craving for novelty and spiritual homelessness of the West.

Yesterday Was the Feast of St. Ignatius of Loyola
Commemoration of SAINT IGNATIUSIn the year 1521 a cannon ball fractured the left leg of Captain Ignatius Loyola, the future founder of the Jesuits. While he was convalescing, Ignatius read about Christ and His saints and thus turned wholly to God. He then undertook to equip himself for Christ's service by acquiring a good classical and theological education. On the feast of the Assumption, 1534, the seven pioneer Jesuits pronounced their vows in Paris. The members of the Society of Jesus became the shock troops of the Church in the battle against the spread of Protestantism in Europe, as well as one of the greatest foreign mission organizations that the world has known. Ignatius died on July 31, 1556.

It's Still Open Season on Men: Neophyte Back From Suffragette City
 |
| We can't all be "real" Men |
Editor: The following is some kind of rant by a woman with a Doctorate in Music who reads all of the approved authors. She is what we'd call a, "Suffragette Catholic". She's real big on left coast hauteur and very small on sympathy for the sensus catholicus and those boys and girls who are disposed to try and live accordingly, some of whom she dated.
We're not saying she's a homosexual, but there are some troubling dimensions to what we can only describe as her homophobia, since she claims to know what a real man is but never explains what it's supposed to be. What's her idea of the perfect man?
 |
| Someone mature... self-confident |
How would she know what a real man was? This has been posted because it addresses a real concern about self-flagellation from Catholics and those outside. This individual is a neophyte from a fairly rarefied professional millieu in New York. Those wishing to feel sufficiently and duly chastised by the ruminations of an unsuitably qualified analyst with an axe to grind might take a look. Suffice it to say that this is a specimen of that polite late Twentieth Century hobby of venting that ever-popular man hating spleen.
It's common enough, be prepared to counteract it by swift action on your part which might include shrugging your shoulders and going back to work on whatever it is you're supposed to be doing.
Have a nice day and take it for what it's worth.
Real Men
When, after a lackadaisical childhood catechesis, years spent doing my own thing, and a dramatic conversion experience, I came back to the Catholic Church in 2002, I found that there was a New York City subculture I had never known existed: the subculture of young orthodox and Traditionalist Catholics. Many of this subculture’s adherents were actively looking for a mate, and I dated a few of them, which was an experience unlike anything I was familiar with from my own long romantic struggles.

Cardinal Marx Reaffirms the Church's Teaching on Homsexuality and Divorce
Cardinal Marx Tricks The Homosexuals
Homosexually disordered persons may be certain: the Church will not "accommodate a negative pastoral approach" -- and the same goes for sodomites.
(kreuz.net, München) Yesterday Reinhard Cardinal Marx of Munich and Freising explained his most recent statement primarily related to the Munich Diocesan paper, that adulterers and homosexually perverse are "failed and broken people".
On the same day he made a statement to the ‘Süddeutschen Zeitung’, with which he took the homosexual paper for a ride.
He employed a similar tactic for his own homosexual paper.
The Cardinal began by deflecting the comments, saying, He was "very unhappy" with the reportage of his statements.
You would supposedly "not say that homosexuals-- or even the divorced -- were failed people."
Because: people can always begin again.
Actually, he presumed that an unrepentant, homosexually disturbed individual is a failure.
The Homosexually Perverse Go with Hair and Skin to Hell
Somewhat curious is the Cardinal's insistence, to this that such a person only "Fails in one's course of life, but not actually in his person, because that itself is the creation and likeness of God".
If the Cardinal were to desirous to deny the existence of Hell with this statement, he would no longer be in the bounds of the Gospel.
So answered Jesus Christ in the 13th Chapter of the Gospel of Luke to the question if few are saved:
"Strive to enter by the narrow gate; for many, I say to you, shall seek to enter, and shall not be able."
That is applicable especially to homosexual depravity, which according to the witness of the Old Testament highly prized by the Jews is a sin which cries to heaven for vengeance.
Actually, it follows from the context that the Cardinal simply said that the person, so long as he lives in this world, at least has the chance, theretically speaking, to do penance before the end.
Thomistically Well Formulated
Finally, the Cardinal explained: "A homosexual may be condemned as any other person, not actually, therefore, how he is."
That is well formulated thomistically.
Because sin -- even homosexual degeneracy -- is not a part of being, rather a disorder and therefore a deficiency of being.
They are also to be condemned for their deficiency in being.
The Cardinal then explained joyfully on this, that "in our present time" homosexually disordered people are no longer condemned.
The phrase "no longer" is a suspicious appeal to the Enlightenment, that people are damned solely on the basis of their own being.
This is how the Enlightenment thinkers mistook blacks for animals.
No one will be "accompanied in a pastorally negative way"
In reality and Church teaching Cardinal Marx doesn't skim: "As the Church we clearly say that the fulfillment of human sexuality is expressed by a person in the matrimonial bond of man and woman, which is a life-long connection and open to the procreation of life."
In other words: perversity is unfulfilled sexuality.
Then the Cardinal acknowledges that for "many people" -- as the Cardinal expresses it -- is not possible.
With the expression "many people" he means adulterers and the homosexually disordered. The turn of phrase "not possible" is a description of their failure.
These failed people must "receive a positive pastoral accommodation" by the Church.
That is the truism which is valid for every manner of pastoral accommodation.
Because the Church doesn't want to greet anyone on his way through life with a "accommodated to a negative pastoral approach".
Homosexually disordered persons may be certain: the Church will not "accommodate a negative pastoral approach" -- and the same goes for sodomites.

God to Catherine of Sienna († 1380): "The sin against nature is even repulsive to the Demons, not because they abhor the evil or rejoice in the good, rather because of their angelic nature and therefore is repulsed, if they see, how such an enormous sin is committed."

Every horific crime, for which the corrupt and obscene cities (Sodom and Gomorrah) were burned by Divine punishment, fill us with the most bitter pain and spur us considerably on, to quell such crimes with the utmost zeal.

In case you're wondering what Febronianism is, it's here.
The politico-ecclesiastical system outlined by Johann Nikolaus von Hontheim, Auxiliary Bishop of Trier, under the pseudonym Justinus Febronius, in his work entitled "Justini Febronii Juris consulti de Stata Ecclesiæ et legitimâ potestate Romani Pontificis Liber singularis ad reuniendos dissidentes in religione christianos compositus" (Bullioni apud Guillelmum Evrardi, 1763; in reality the work was published by Esslinger at Frankfort-on-the-Main). Taking as a basis the Gallican principles which he had imbibed from the canonist Van Espen while pursuing his studies in Louvain, Hontheim advanced along the same lines, in spite of many inconsistencies, to a radicalism far outstripping traditional Gallicanism. [u]He develops in this work a theory of ecclesiastical organization founded on a denial of the monarchical constitution of the Church. [/u]The ostensible purpose was to facilitate the reconciliation of the Protestant bodies with the Church by diminishing the power of the Holy See.

Bishops to House: Budget Cannot Rely on Disproportionate Cuts in Services to Poor Persons, Requires Shared Sacrifice by All
WASHINGTON—In a July 26 letter to the U.S. House of Representatives, Bishop Stephen E. Blaire of Stockton, California, and Bishop Howard J. Hubbard of Albany, New York, called on Congress to remember the human and moral dimensions of the ongoing budget and debt ceiling debate.
The bishops wrote, “A just framework for future budgets cannot rely on disproportionate cuts in essential services to poor persons. It requires shared sacrifice by all, including raising adequate revenues, eliminating unnecessary military and other spending, and addressing the long-term costs of health insurance and retirement programs fairly.”
Bishop Blaire and Bishop Hubbard respectively chair the Committees on Domestic Justice and Human Development and International Justice and Peace of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB).
The bishops wrote that every budget decision should be assessed by whether it protects human life and dignity, how it affects “the least of these,” including the hungry and homeless, and how well it reflects the shared responsibility of the government and other institutions to promote the common good of all, especially workers and families struggling in the current economy.

Franciscan Imitates St. Francis, Rebuilds Church Alone for Fifty Years
Editor: Franciscans are "friars" not monks.
God Willed It
The unbelievable story of Father Pietro Lavini: From 1954 to 2003 he rebuilt a monastery completely alone, in an untraveled mountain area in the Apennines.
Montemonaco (kath.net) In the spring of 1954 Father Pietro disappeared without a trace from his Cloister to rebuild a ruined Monastery in the Apennines Mountains. In the summer of 2003 the Bishop of Father Pietro received a letter with the sentence: "The Monastery is finished."
Andreas Englisch told the story of the Italian priest in his book "Traces of God: Miracles of the Catholic Church". Englisch had also related this story to the Hamburg evening news.
In the spring of 1954 the Abbot of the Franciscan Cloister by Ascoli Piceno in Adria noticed that Father Peitro had vanished. After a fruitless search he was removed from the list of priests, which entitles them to government support. He was reported as missing.
In the Summer of 1971, in the mountains near Gola del Infernaccio, a deep canyon in the middle of the Apennines mountains, which are famous for falling stones and avalanches, a mountain climber met the monk and told his Bishop: "The priest had very long, matted hair and a filthy beard. He lived in the cold of the high mountains in a kind of improvised hut made only from a few branches and a torn plastic tarp."
He sustained himself with heavily moldy bread, greens and tree bark. With self-made tools, he broke stones from the cliffs, there he was completely alone, without money or machines, where he wanted to rebuild the ruins of a Monastery. He had even built an aqueduct which carried water across the canyon. He collapsed from work many times, suffered broken bones, which he cured by himself with herbs. He showed me his serious injuries. I feared, the man was severely mad."
The Bishop then sent an inspector with the mission to bring the priest to a psychiatric clinic of the Franciscans. After his expedition, the inspector reported to the Bishop that after many discussions attempting to persuade Father Pietro, that "the brother isn't mad, rather he is a saint. I bid his blessing and hope that the Church will leave him there, where he is, completely close to God. I fear our time is mad, so that for us, the example of a man like Father Pietro is so rare." All attempts by the social office of the Bishop to induce the Priest to return, were unsuccessful.
Father Pietro had contact with a family from the village of Montemonaco, which lays some 20km from Father's abode. The father, Franco D'Agonsino, then wrote to the Bishop, "I don't wonder that he doesn't starve up there! The climb is difficult, and I bring Father Pietro something to eat, and every time his larder is bare. he appears not to be concerned by it. When the snow falls, he is cut off for months at a time. I don't know how he endures."
In the summer of 2003 a letter arrived at the Diocese of Ascoli Piceno: Father Pietro wrote only one sentence: "The Monastery is finished." The Bishop traveled by helicopter to the place and wrote a report to the Vatican thereon only one sentence: "What I have seen, is a wonder."
The Village of Monemonaco in central Italy has about 700 inhabitants and lays about two hours by car from the beaches on the Adriatic. And suddenly visitors from all parts of the world came to the village to ask the way to the Gola del Infernaccio
canyon in order to see "a saint". Great gaps in the cliff walls are witness thereto, how over decades of work by hand, block upon block had been separated from the cliff.
After four hours of climbing the visitor suddenly arrives at a beautiful Monastery building. Father Pietro Lavini receives visitors happily and says: "Naturally, I could never have built these great buildings alone. That was beyond the power of a man, God desired it. God had given me this life's dream: 'Build me there, where it is impossible, a house under impossible conditions, and I will sustain you, heal your sickness and give you to eat, even when you think you must starve.'

The Young Swiss Guard in Spain

The Norwegian Butcher fantasized about a return to the past in order to kill Hitler: "If there is a single person who I hate, then that is Adolf Hitler".
(kreuz.net) The Norwegian perpetrator Anders Breivik, didn't make an enemy Islam as an enemy, but also made a friend, - "the Jewish World, which he views as a sure anti-Islamic bulwark".
Sect Specialist, [and Sociologist] Massimo Introvigne (56), said this on the 25th of July for the Italian website, 'labussolaquotidiana.it'.
Breivik Loves the Israeli Army
The terrorist indicated in his 1500 page book "2083, A European Call to Independence" an "actual cult for the State of Israel and its Army".
This Israel Cult involved a deep animus against the National Socialists:
"If there is a personality that I hate, then it's Adolf Hitler" --wrote the mass murderer.
He fantasized about a return to the past in order to kill Hitler.
The Purest and Noblest Inhabitants of the West
Breivik was a participant in a Norwegian neo-Nazi Internet forum.
There he explained that certain National Socialist statements about the ethnic salience of the West were correct.
But: "Hitler's most obvious error consisted, according to Breivik, that he hadn't understood, that the purest and noblest inhabitants of Europe were the Jews" -- recapped Introvigne.
If National Socialism should have killed anyone, they would have better sorted out the Muslims in the near east.
Breivik Canvasses the Homosexuals
For Breivik, National Socialism, Communism and Islam were three sides of the same anti-Western doctrine.
He wouldn't to abolish all three.
But actually, the emphasis was all on the battle against Islam.
For him, every actual or potential enemy of Islam is a potential ally.
Breivik not only encouraged Christians, rather also militant Atheists, who are seemingly all too common in Norway, as well as homosexual deviants, to combat Islam.
The latter he pointed out, would be "persecuted" in a world ruled by Islam.
Contacts to "The Church of Satan"
Introvigne is not astonished by Breivik's contact to the "Church of Satan".
This organization preaches a form of "rationalist" Satanism and values the mastery of the strong over the weak as well as a wild Capitalism.
Breivik also cites the theories of the Jewish-Russian US-Writer, Ayn Rand († 1982).
Breivik even believes that the Gypsies are not as the majority of Historians see them, from th Hindus, rather outcasts from Islamic societies.
Breivik is well-disposed to gypsies.
He calls them to the war against Islam and promises them a free and independent state in his new Europe.

The Oslo Butcher is For Abortion: Satanism
For a time Anders Breivik wanted to be Catholic. Actually he remarked that Benedict XVI is a "cowardly, incompetent, corrupt and illegitimate Pope".
(kreuz.net) It is "thoroughly tedious" that the police continuously and immediately describe the Oslo Butcher, Anders Behring Breivik (32) as a "Christian Fundamentalist".
This revelation comes from the famous Italian specialist in cults and sects Massimo Introvigne (56) on the 25th of July.
According to Introvigne, who studied at the Vienna Observatory for Intolerance and Discrimination against Christians, insists that the concept "fundamentalism" can be a tool of anti-Christian discrimination.
Introvigne insists that the concept has a precise definition. It describes a very anti-Catholic current in protestantism.
Actually Brevik must be understood according to the following sources:
-his profile on the social networking site 'facebook.com'
-sixty site posting on an anti-Islamic, Norwegian website
-his 1500 page book "2083, A European Declaration of Independence", which he sent a few hours before the massacre to friends and the media.
A Fundamentalist Looks Differently
Breiviks membership in the anti-Catholic Masonic Lodge was made known by an entry in his 'facebook.com'.
Introvigne explains that his present Lodge practices the Swedish Rite. This "Christian belief" is explained by his membership.
Fundamentalism is very ill-disposed to Freemasonry according to Introvigne.
Otherwise it comes from Breviks 'Facebook' profile that he has a friendship with the operator of the largest Norwegian porn-site -- "despite his decrpit morality" -- added Breivik.
It is also the case that Breivik had sent his book to an ordained minister of "The Church of Satan".
He published the botch job on the 23rd of July on the Internet. The "Church of Satan" is very widespread in Scandinavia.
He dreamt of a prostitute
The tone which Breivik struck reminded Introvigne of the Dutch Homosexual, Pim Fortuyn († 2002).
Fortuyn founded an anti-Islamic party in his country.
Still more, Breivik indicated in his book that abortion is acceptable.
The supposed fundamentalist reported additionally that he laid down two million Euros on the site.
He wanted to pay the money for the execution of his "mission" with a prostitute "of high quality, a real top-model".
The great hierarchy-free Oecumene
According Introvigne's assessment, Breivik's biggest concern isn't religion, rather the 'war against Islam', which in his mind threatens to overwhelm Europe.
Breivig wrote that he had received baptism and confirmation at the age of fiteen.
He himself comes from a wealthy and Godless family, who allowed him "free choice".
Some years after veering into Protestantism Breivik came to the view that the Protestant community was dead and that it had fallen to multi-culturalism and philo-Islamic ideology.
For a time Breivig desired to become a Catholic, according to his own admission.
Actually, in his opinion the Church was sold to Islam, as the Pope then had decided, to engage in so-called inter-religious dialogue with the Moslems.
About Benedict XVI, he said, that he had lost "Christendom and the European Christians".
He must be termed as a "cowardly, incompetent, corrupt and illegitimate Pope".
For that reason Breivik wanted to eliminate the protestants and the Church, and a "Christian Congress of Europe".
From that he expected a completely new "European Church" to arise.

The SSPX Talks Are Not a Failure
The Italian District Superior of the Society of Pius X: "the goal of the talks were never conceived to produce a settlement. "
(kreuz.net) It is a "judgement afflicted with error", to characterize the talks of the SSPX with the Vatican as broken.
This was explained by the District Superior of the Society of Pius X, Father Davide Pagliarani, on the 26th of July in an interview with the famous website 'blog.messainlatino.it'.
This Danger Never Came to Pass
This impression could only be had by someone whose expectations of the event, were not part of its intent in the first place:
This Dossier is reserved for the Pope and the General Superior of the Society.
"In view of the fact that both commissions worked patiently and essentially touched all of the daily points of order, I don't view that one could hold that the talks were a failure" -- said Father Pagliarani.
For him, the talks would have been a failure, if the representatives of the Society had prepared a proposal, "which didn't exactly express, what the Society believed, for example, if they had said that Collegiality or Religious Freedom which are in the modern world, can be joined completely with Tradition."
Father believes, however, that this fear did not come to pass.
Still A Few Years?
On the contrary Father Pagliarani stressed the importance of the witness of the Society and its mission for the health of the Church and Tradition during its talks with the Vatican.
As related the integration of the Socieety with the Conciliar Church he thinks:
"The canonical situation, in which the Society presently finds itself, is a consequence of its resistance against the errors, which are overflowing the Church."
For that reason the Society depends on the possibility, to reach a regular Canonical situation, not from that in itself, "but rather upon that which the hierarchy accepts the mission, with which it can accept the contribution to Tradition for the renewal of the Church."
If one succeeds at canonical regularization, then it only means "that the Hierarchy it still not sufficiently convinced of the necessity and importance of this contribution."
In this case, one must still wait for a few years.

Hippie USCCB Advocates Solidarity Fast with Farm Laborers

| Always a big hit with the NCR Sandalistas |
USCCB Hippies Can Take Good Ideas and Wreck Them With Faux Radicalism, here on their site. They'd be better off lobbying for an end to invasive planned economies like Rhodesia which has driven the country into famine, or against "green" fuels which increase the cost of food, and also promote world hunger.

Curial Bishop Carlo Maria Viganò Will Be Nuncio to the USA
Editor: his slot in the Governorate of the Vatican will be taken up by someone who's close to Cardinal Burke, Msgr Sciacca, a judge in the Roman Rota. Understanding that this is an earlier release and that some of the other blogs were reticent about Nuncio Sambi's replacement, Katholisches sounded certain about it.
[Washington from July 13] Curial Bishop Carlo Maria Viganò the Secretary of the Governorate Council of Vatican City, will be the new Apostolic Nuncio of the United States of America. The present ambassador to Washington, Archbishop Pietro Sambi will be recalled back to Rome and undertake a new leading role in the Roman Curia.
The Curial Bishop has been leading a restrictive organizational reform for various areas of the Curia over the past two years. That has not made him many friends. In the long run it involved friction with the Secretary of State, so the current personnel changes are intended to bring peace again for all sides. The role of the Papal Ambassador in Washington is as much a step up in rank and is also an important as well as sensitive position.
The successor as number two of the Governatorial Advisor will be canon lawyer, Msgr Giuseppe Sciacca, who is at present judge of the Roman Rota. Of him it is said that he also has earned the trust and praise of both the Holy Father and the Cardinal Secretary [+Burke].
Archbishop Viganò would be the third Apostolic Nuncio in the United States of America and only the fifth representative from the Holy See. It was first under President Ronald Reagan and Pope John Paul II that in 1984 full diplomatic relations were established between the Holy See and the United States. In the same year the USA sent William Wilson as its first ambassador to the Holy See in Rome. Since 2009, Miguel Diaz who was appointed by President Obama has occupied this post.
In the USA there is a longstanding opposition against diplomatic relations. At first in 1893 the first contact at this level was established. The representatives of the Holy See had however only the rank of apostolic delegates.
