Cardinal Burke Censures False Ecumenism at Consistory
Unfortunately, as with the implementation of Sumorum Pontificum, the Motu Proprio freeing up the Immemorial Latin Mass to be said without the interference of liberal Bishops, there are old Liberal Bishops who are blocking the way. Most notable among them is Archbishop Thomas Collins of Toronto, who wants to appoint an existing Roman Bishop to head the Ordinariate, rather than have him be elected from a bi-cameral lay-clerical arrangement. There is also Bishop Peter Elliot of Australia, who wishes to implement changes which basically amount to an oversimplification of the Anglican Liturgy which is, in the words of Maximilian Hanlon, going to make it like a Novus Ordo Liturgy with some Anglican prayers tacked on. We're a little puzzled by this characterization because Bishop Elliot actually seems pretty conservative as illustrated by his article in New Liturgical Movement, as he writes here:
Next year a new ICEL translation of the Mass of the Roman Rite will come into effect. More gracious poetic English will mean that the beauty of the language used in the Ordinariates will not clash with the banal and inaccurate old ICEL “translation” we currently endure.
Ultimately, what these liberal Bishops, like those who Damian Thompson calls the "Magic Circle" in England, intend upon doing is to delay and create impediments to the entrance of Anglicans into full communion with Rome. For like Cardinal Kasper, they would prefer to "dialogue" with Archbishop Rowan and his female clergy, and their assortment of liturgical chipmunks.[Video forthcoming]
It would be a good time to pray, do penance, fast and keep vigil for the good intentions of the Bishops, laity and priests of the incoming members of the Anglican Communion.

Moscow Patriarchate, Vatican wage common fight against secular liberalism - Patriarch Kirill
"Together with the Roman Catholic Church we have been defending the traditional Christian concept of family and human values from aggressive secular liberalism. Our Churches are waging a common fight against medico-biological experiments incompatible with respect for human dignity," His Holiness said.
Cooperation with the Roman Catholic Church has become possible thanks to Pope Benedict XVI and is proceeding simultaneously along several avenues.

Muslims and Africans Not Opposed to "Arbitrary" Killings of Homosexuals
Descrimination doesn't touch on Homosexual Persons
[kreuz.net] On Tuesday, the United Nations passed a resolution -- different than the one of earlier years -- which doesn't mention the death penalty for 'sexual orientation'. The United Nations revised the resolution after pressure from Arab and African States. The nations stricken by Western decadence did not accept the condemnation of the death penalty for reasons of discrimination, however, because of the absence of the clause regarding "sexual orientation".
The following is from the Huffington Post:
United Nations – African and Arab nations succeeded by a whisker in deleting three words from a resolution that would have included gays in a denunciation of arbitrary killings. Europeans protested in vain.
At issue was a measure on Extrajudicial, Summary or Arbitrary Executions adopted by a General Assembly committee. Usually a vote in the committee, which includes all UN members, is tantamount to official passage by the Assembly.
The reference in the three-page draft came in the sixth of 22 paragraphs and urged investigations of all killings “committed for any discriminatory reason, including sexual orientation.” The provision was among many that had been proposed and analyzed by a “special rapporteur” (investigator) on the subject.

Motu Proprio Regulations Before Christmas?
 |
| The Mass of All Ages |
(kreuz.net, Vatikan) The publication of the regulations for the implementation of the Motu Proprio 'Summorum Pontificum" of July 2007 is almost here.
This is according to the news site 'kathnews.de'. The page cites "high Vatican sources".
Finally Here After Three Years?
Already in 2007 it was known that the regulations for the implementation of the Motu Proprio 'Summorum Pontificum' would appear.
Since then many publication deadlines have been announced and gone.
The site 'kathnews' knows why: "The document was already completely revised, but then had to be reworked and corrected on certain points."
A corrected version of the text by the Pope will be produced in the coming days.
The website figures that the regulations for implementation will be ready still before Christmas.
There will supposedly be clarified any "open questions in relation to the handling" of the old Mass.

La Comunión Tradicionalista Carlista meets in Cerro de los Ángeles for the Solemnity of Christ the King
[Cerro de los Ángeles, Spain] This past 20th of November, 2010, eve of the Solemnity of Christ the King, the last Sunday of Ordinary Time, the Traditionalist Carlist Communion gathered again at Cerro de los Ángeles, the geographic center of the Iberian Peninsula, where Providence sculpted in stone His Promise to Spain, and where, defending a sacred place, martyrs whose remains rest below the new monument, gave their lives. Two of these martyrs were members of the Traditionalist Carlist Communion and the others were more or less involved in Carlism.
There were more faithful in attendance at Mass than usual and the hall where the dinner was held after Mass was filled to capacity. Soon we will be publishing some of the main talks of the event. (Translated into English from the following web page: http://www.carlistas.es/detalle_nota.php?ide=619)
Aggressive Homosexual Ideology Attacking the Church
ROME, November 18, 2010 (LifeSiteNews.com) – An “aggressive ideology,” a behavioral theory of “complete debauchery,” is loose in the world, and appears to be winning against the traditional Christian culture of the west, said Cardinal Giacomo Biffi.
The cleric made the remarks in a book of memoirs, titled “The Inconvenient Memoirs,” which has been republished and launched today in Rome with an additional section on the dangers of the homosexualist ideology.
In these “shattered” times, the cardinal said, the new ideologies have resulted in an “intellectual blindness” and in the silencing of Christians who are intimidated by persecution by homosexuals and their ideological accomplices.

Bishop Williamson Complies with Bishop Fellay's Order
From DICI:
The Superior General, Bishop Bernard Fellay, has learnt by the press of Bishop Richard Williamson’s decision, just ten days before his trial, to dismiss the lawyer charged with his defense, in favor of a lawyer who is openly affiliated to the so-called neo-Nazi movement in Germany, and to other such groups.
Bishop Fellay has given Bishop Williamson a formal order to go back on this decision and to not allow himself to become an instrument of political theses that are completely foreign to his mission as a Catholic bishop serving the Society of Saint Pius X.
Disobedience to this order would result in Bishop Williamson being expelled from the Society of Saint Pius X.

Jews Interfere in Catholic Affairs
Sat Nov 20, 2010 4:52pm EST
PARIS (Reuters) - A Holocaust survivors group urged Pope Benedict on Saturday to ban an arch-traditionalist bishop from the Catholic Church because he hired a lawyer close to neo-Nazi groups to defend him in court in Germany.
Bishop Richard Williamson, one of four rebel bishops re-admitted to the Church in January 2009, recently hired a far-right lawyer to conduct his appeal against a 12,000 euro fine imposed last year for denying the Holocaust.
His ultra-traditionalist Society of Saint Pius X (SSPX), which is now negotiating its return to the Church with Vatican officials, also threatened to expel Williamson from its ranks if he did not distance himself from Nahrath.

Archbishop Koch Says Protestants Have Rejected Real Purpose of Ecumenism
Cardinal-elect Kurt Koch, the new president of the Pontifical Council for Promoting Christian Unity (PCPCU), has accused Protestants of renouncing the original goal of ecumenism. They have succumbed to a relativistic view of ecclesiology based on shared communion between separate Churches, he said this week, and in doing so have abandoned the proper ecumenical aim of genuine unity.
“It is decisively in this postmodern mentality characterised by pluralistic and relativistic tendencies that is found the great challenge to the search for visible unity of the Church of Jesus Christ,” the Swiss archbishop said on Monday at the opening of the PCPCU plenary assembly in Rome marking the fiftieth anniversary of the pontifical council. In a theologically dense address to his first PCPCU plenary since becoming president last July, he said this mentality was found among not only Protestants but also “many Catholics”.
The PCPCU president, who is to be made a cardinal in today’s consistory, said the current crisis of ecumenism boiled down to what he called the two “profoundly different mentalities” that shape the way Catholics and Protestants describe the nature of the Church.

Folklore and Eastern Practices Dealing with the Undead
by Jonathan Bennet As per Mr Willbee's request here is a short summary of incorruptibility and how it relates to the state of excommunication in the Eastern Churches and the like. I've taken this primarily from the extensive works of Father Montague Summers, Lindahl's invaluable 'Medieval Folklore' compendium and various ecclesiastic histories and stuff I've stumbled across over the years.
...
Rights, lets get into it...
While, like the Latin Church, the Easterns regard the incorruptibility of a corpse as a sign of sanctification there exists a tradition amongst the Greeks where the bodies of those who died excommunicate remain in a state of preservation. Summers gives many examples of this and rapid or even immediate decay of the body when the absolution is read over it by the bishop. The usual Greek response to a case of vampirism is to give the suspected corpse absolution- if that does not work the body is often dismembered and burned (though the latter may be purely the work of the people who at times seem fearful that the ecclesiastic authority might find out, cremation being banned by the Church and all- in any case the clergy are never present at the burning). While this may seem like odd theology it deserves to be noted that in the West there existed in the liturgical books, until relatively recent centuries, a similar absolution given to the exhumed bodies of excommunicated persons.
It is a universal principle of vampiric folklore that these re-animated corpses are very often those of people who died excommunicate, suicides and witches (this is a popular, if unofficial, reason that is often given for burning witches, apostates and unrepentant heretics as opposed to other methods of execution). Vampirism is quite scarce in Britain, though not unheard of. William of Newburgh, in his Historia rerum Anglicarum, reports that when, sometime in the reign of Richard I, a vampire terrorized the people of Buckinghamshire St. Hugh, Bishop of Lincoln, ordered the body exhumed, found it incorrupt and had it reinterred with an absolution he had written. Needless to say the corpse never again left the grave. Other examples are generally the same- vampire terrorizes people and the body is either exorcised or absolved, or else burned or decapitated (in one case simply buried beneath a Cross).

Pope Does Not "Ok" Condoms: Media is Mother of Lies
Accuracy from NPR or the National News Media, you ask? Should we be surprised when they tell the big lie? We'll leave that for your own speculation and wonderment. At least one journalist, formerly from L'Osservatore Romano has her head screwed on straight.
This is really a continuation of the media blitz against him outlined and described in Vaticanists' Tornielli and Rodari, "Attack on Ratzinger".
So, to clarify, he’s not endorsing condoms. He’s saying that it could be the first step of a particular individual to realize that their action is wrong. His example of a male prostitute is very particular. The Church doesn’t believe that male prostitution is a good thing; so it’s not going to endorse anything that would facilitate the behavior even if it’s ostensibly with the good intention of protecting one’s self or another. That good intention doesn’t change the nature of the behavior itself.Read entire article, here...

The 20th of November is synonymous with Spanish Catholic Patriotism
"The 20th of November is synonymous with
Spanish Catholic Patriotism"
by Jose Luís Corral
Translated from issue #640 of the Siempre P'alante magazine. http://spalante.es/
Since the death of the last Catholic head of state, Francisco Franco, on November 20th, 1975, the 20th of November has become synonymous with Catholic Spain. Every year throughout the peninsula the anniversary of Franco's death, which also coincides with the death of Jose Antonio Primo de Rivera in 1936, is commemorated.
On a national level, the memorial services in the Valle de los Caidos and the Plaza de Oriente have served as a testimony to the world that Catholicism is not dead in Spain. However, the enemies of God and Spain, have tried to suppress these celebrations and, unfortunately, have had success in doing so.
The attacks on the Valle de Los Caidos culminated with the nefarious “Law of Historical Memory” which prohibits anyone from entering the Basilica grounds with any political or religious regalia. Not only that, but this law has effectively barred visitors from seeing the the largest and most significant architectural monument of the twentieth century. Despite the persecution, due to the heroic resistance of the Benedictine Community that is adjacent to the Basilica, the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass is offered outdoors on the grounds near the Basilica.
Due to the prohibition of Mass in the Basilica, the Francisco Franco Foundation has been forced to move their yearly Traditional Latin Mass to the Church of Santa Gema in Madrid at 8:30 p.m.
On the same day the traditional “Christ the King” dinner, which is organized by the Movimiento Católico Espanol and the Acción Juvenil Española, will take place at the Hotel Mayorazgo near Gran Via and Plaza España in Madrid.
On Sunday the 21st the Nation Confederation of Veterans gathering in the Plaza de Oriente will feature speakers such as Blas Piñar as well as patriotic hymns and marches.
The weekend events will conclude with a dinner organized by Fuerza Nueva in the Hotel Centro Norte, near Chamartín Station in Madrid.
Old Liberals in Limburg Sense they are Junkers: Hurray for Bishop Tebartz
 |
| He's Tougher Than He Looks |
(kreuz.net, Limburg) Ten hotheads from time immemorial, old Liberal pastors from the Diocese of Limburg have written and published a hate letter against their Bishop, Msgr Franz-Peter Tebartz-van Elst.
Their pamphlet was eagerly awaited by the anti-Church media.
The Situation in the Diocese of Limburg is Catastrophic for the Old Liberals
Under the protection of Anonymity one of the snipers blusters from the website 'mittelhessen.de': "The situation in the Dioceese of Limburg is catastrophic. The concern is monstrously large."
The infamous Limburg Judas-Priest, Fr. Hubertus Janssen is using his full name to rail against his Bishop.
Fr. Janssen must not be afraid of anything. For he is under the protection of particular powerful media bosses.
This 1st of December he will be 73 years old when he goes into retirement.
Days before his retirement he will not let "forbid his mouth from speaking" -- bragged 'mittelhessen.de'.
Even two critics, with names presented, are two or three years before their retirement. He had some days ago decried his Bishop for a German anti-Church magazine and earned much applause.
It's a question of Pastor Albert Dexelmann (63) from Runkel in the vicinity of Limburg-Weilburg. He opnly said that, "not much can happen" to him -- for he is also trusting in the potential outrage of the media bosses.
Our Health in the Body of Christ?
The hate letter against the Bishop swelled in emotions, strident vocabulary and painted in black and white.
Since Bishop Tebarttz-van Elst is leading the Diocese, "heads are hanging low" -- is the lamentation.
Meaningful elements, "support our piety", even "our health in the body of Christ" are "everything is carried on in oblique in a very dicky [incompetent] and clandestine way" -- horrify the church's enemies upon what is really laughable.
The letter excuses all possible groupings of their special hate:
-People in the community, who are seeking supposedly "spiritual guidance"
-the opportunistic people responsible in public life
-the anti-Church journalists and press
-decadent artists and intellectuals
-people who are hungry for the old Liberal version of the word of God
-young people, who want nothing to do with yesterday's old liberal soup
-Church tax papers and donors
The laymen -- which is put in quotes in the letter -- would feel, "that clerical scenes are created that leave them disturbed viewing it from the outside" --so hopes the mutineer.
Journalists and the Press, who earlier served the old Liberal Abortion-Bishop Franz Kamhaus as a court crier, will now experience an "absconding" churchman -- says the letter, although the naive Bishop Tebartz-van Else has already run into the knife of the Church-hate magazine 'Spiegel'.
The hate letter also says that the allegedly experienced minister "who has had the idea put in his head" would, as if they notice, how the "clerical darkness" is leading priest candidates by the soul.
In reality the old Liberal darkness in the Dicoese of Limburg is the problem, because he hinders the principle errors of the Post-Conciliar past and sees that they are reformed and corrected.
Because of this fearful process of destruction from these uninsightful old Liberals, young priests today have inherited a difficult legacy.
Meeting the Devil Halfway
The self-loving preachers of hate care for themselves: "Are we obsolete models?" -- they hit the nail on the head.
At the same time they call a worthy lLiturgy -- which is oriented on God -- "a Ritual of Self-Love":
"The Legionaires of Christ and the Society of Pius X expect to send us to the junkyard." -- explained the junker.
It isn't just then, "a little, short-term spiritual blooper to deal with", rather a "bitter, persistent problem" -- so the Bishop-hater correctly analyzes his own problem.
Pubescently, he declares for a "major network" he desires for socializing.
Finally they say again in their letter, incorrectly, gratuitously: "The Legionaries of Christ and the Society of Pius X are waiting, to junk us."
This is Your Religion on Communism: Jonestown Massacre
At last, another person in the world has identified the fact that Jim Jones was not as he was portrayed by the leftocracy in the media as a madcap religious fanatic of a fundamentalist Christian bent, but a hardened Communist. When it was all over hundreds were dead including the liberal Congressman Ryan Decades past, this was not hard to do because the left had almost unquestioned conntrol over all the media and ruled the minds of the American public with their ever-insidious spins and mischaracterizations. Even Wikipedia, [is it any surprise] glosses over the ideological nature of Jim Jones movement, and strangely enough, the sexual abuse he inflicted on church members, here. , here
Check out Moonbattery, here.
Even so, he had the gall to proclaim to his congregation that he was "the only true heterosexual"2. In fact, several accounts exist that Jones sodomized members of the congregation to prove their homosexuality! In the mid-1970's, suspicion was raised that Jones abused children, and even adults who desired to leave the congregation. In light of these allegations Jones moved the People's Temple to a city he created, Jonestown, Guyana.[here]H/t: Pewsitter

'Pro-Life' - Activist Frank Pavone: Tea-Party is the 'Home' of Defending Life
Famous Pro-Life Priest in a press conference in Vienna: the principle goal of the movement remains, in any case, to make abortion legally unallowable.
Vienna (kath.net/KAP) An insight in the engagement of the US-American "Pro-Life" - movement was given by activist and President of "Priests for Life" - initiative, Frank Pavone this Thursday in Vienna. The principle goal of the movement remains in any case, to make abortion legally unallowable, said Pavone during an encounter with a journalist. The movement also has in any case to raise consciousness in the population: "We want to make abortion unthinkable." He could himself "not imagine a situation, in which abortion [were] a solution to a problem", says the priest. That does not indicate that there will be a denial of the obligation to care for every woman, who has undergone an abortion and been traumatized.
Pavone has come to Vienna on the invitation of Cardinal Schönborn and "International Technical Institute" (ITI). The purpose of his visit is the comprehensive concern of the Pro-Life movement, which has more than 300,000 activists and thousands of action groups, to make it more well-known in Austria" and the strengthen the Church as well, which will be a consequence of protecting life," says Pavone. Concrete steps for instance will be in the founding of Austria's own "Priests-For-Life" group and a spiritual center for the care of women traumatized by abortion.
A legal no to abortion does not aim to, "touch a woman's rights to be free", said Pavone. It is much more through the demonstration of alternatives in the face of an abortion in the foreground to facilitate her decision not to abort. The actual liberal legal situation does not allow freedom, rather immediately removes the freedom of the woman because of erroneous information and advice.
As the question for the legal punishment Pavone said, it is the goal of the movement, to fine and punish Doctors who perform abortions. Women on the other hand, who have procured an abortion, will not be punished, as these are "already in prison" in a figurative sense and at the most must suffer the psychological and physical consequences of such an attack.
Critic of Obama's Healthcare Policies
Pavone has been critical of the health care policies of US President Brack Obama. He holds to the liberal position on abortion and strengthens it, for instance through the "Supreme Court" replacement of American justice with personal choice. Under Obama "a lot has been changed", says Pavone regarding the introduction of Universal Health Insurance. This is not per se bad, he foresaw -- like the American Catholic Bishops -- but there is the danger that in the coming foreseeable State provisions of government funds could be used for abortion.
The Obama-Politic is favorable declares Pavone that the people are increasingly motivated to be strengthened by the themes of the Pro-Life movement. So, the "Tea Party" is also a movement which serves as a reservoir for a wide circle of the Pro-Life movement. It is also that the there are "countless overlaps", even as the "Tea Party" at the most recent "Mid-term" - vote put the focus on the social questions, says Pavone. Principally, the "Pro-Life" movement is therefore "at home with the Republicans".
Despite his critique of Obama's politics, he sees the USA though "on the right way in the direction toward our goals", said Pavone finally with great conviction. So there is consequently legal proposals which is aimed to the protection of the child in the mother's body and to advise women about a possible abortion. If one advised women over the health risks of an abortion, for example the danger of cancer formation, sterility etc., then the numbers would sink, according to Pavone's expectation.
No to Embryonic Stem Cell Research
The movement takes a clear position on the area of bioethics. They pronounce an emphatic "no" to every form of embryonic stem cell research, which will result in the death of the embryo with this kind of research. In place of this the "Pro-Life" position is for the use of adult stem cell research - found consequently from umbilical cord blood. This is morally permissible and is also even more promising of success.
There is support for the movement, says Pavone, in all religious communities --from the Catholic to the Protestant, Evangelical to the Baptists, Methodists, Judaism and Islam. For this reason the supporters from Judaism or Islam, however, are infrequently in the public, that the "Pro-Life - movement is conceived as a Christian movement. His goal is then also not to unite these Pro-Life voices, rather to strengthen them, for the theme of defending life is part of any respective religion and to give each and every one his own voice.
Pavone is also accompanied on his visit to Austria among others, by the foundress of the "Pro-Life" associated help organization for traumatized women, "Rache's Vineyard", Theresa Burke, as well as Janet Morana of the "Silent no more awareness" campaign.

Pope Benedict Won't Appoint Liberal Bishop's Choices for Auxiliary
Is the Linz Auxiliary Bishop on the Way?
Editor: considering the Vienna Cardinal's earlier attack against Pope Benedict's choice for auxiliary Bishop of the scandal Diocese of Linz, it might not be hard to see how Pope Benedict regards this situation, considering the embarrassment the Linz Bishop faces, lying to the press about the fact that Rome refuses to acknowledge any of his choices.
Bishop Schwarz denied to "Standard" - a rumour - that Rome has said "No", back -- fact is: The Bishop has already proposed a large number of people to Rome.
Linz (kath.net) The Linz Bishop Ludwig Schwarz has denied the "Standard" publicized rumour, that Rome supposedly has said "No" to a Linz Auxiliary Bishop. "There isn't a single word in this report that's true! Rome has not given me a refusal concerning this matter," said Schwarz to the "Linzer Kirchenzeitung" (LKZ). The Linz Bishop has made known in any case, that the new Prefect required a time of "introduction and orientation in this matter". As kath.net has learned from Roman Church circles, the Linz Bishop Ludwig Schwarz has proposed an unusually large number of candidates to Rome. Fact is, that till now none of the proposals have been accepted by Rome and this subject is explosive considering the forced resignation of Gerhard Maria Wagner.
