Asked about the Mass in the Roman rite, Cardinal Jaime Spengler of Porto Alegre, Brazil, said that “the river doesn’t flow backwards.” He spoke with VidaNuevaDigital.com on January 16. The cardinal is president of the bishops’ conferences of Brazil and Latin America (CELAM). His main statement echoes the historically weak ideas promoted by Cardinal Roche at the consistory on January 7-8. Cardinal Spengler said, “Throughout history, the liturgy has undergone various reforms. The Second Vatican Council represents an enormous effort to recover fundamental elements of Catholic liturgical celebration. Nostalgic proposals do not help to promote what the Council identified as essential for the liturgy.” Furthermore, Cardinal Spengler offered a pointless definition of the Eucharist: “Liturgy cannot be understood simply as an expression of religious practice; above all, it is a vigorous expression of a lived experience of faith, both personal and communal - an experience of encounter with …තව
Wisdom 1:7 “The fear of Yahweh is the beginning of wisdom.” Psalm 69:9 “The zeal for Your House consumes me, and the insults of those who insult You fall upon me.”
1) "Reforms", yes. but the N.O. is not a reform. It's a purge. It's an emptying out, a replacement, not quite a confection as implied by it's creators or adherents, but more like a conjuration, applied by those more self assured than confidant, more visionary than inciteful, more desparate than diciplined 2) "Recover fundamental elements". One could argue the point, but no, in practice: remove and replace fundamental elements. 3) Flow backwards? Then why seek to "recover"? 4) "a vigorous expression of a lived experience of faith, both personal and communal". This could take volumes and in fact has. In short, it may be all of these things, but is it the faith [that was recovered]? Or something else; and if so, what is this expression saying? And from where does it come?And what has it produced? I'm reminded of something... youtube.com/watch?v=B4M-54cEduo
Breaking News Gut Cure: How to restore your microbiome so your body can do what it was designed to do Your gut microbiome acts as a command centre for digestion, immunity, metabolism and brain health; when microbial diversity drops, symptoms often go beyond digestion. Short-chain fatty acids (“SCFAs”), especially butyrate, are essential compounds made by healthy gut bacteria that help repair your gut lining, calm inflammation, stabilise blood sugar and support mental clarity. Modern diets heavy in seed oils (including linoleic acid), emulsifiers and ultra-processed foods disrupt beneficial bacteria and reduce butyrate production, leaving your gut undernourished even if you eat “healthy” foods. Simple changes, such as replacing seed oils with stable fats like butter, ghee or coconut oil, can lower inflammation, rebalance your microbiome and help your body begin healing from the inside out. Let’s not lose touch…Your Government and Big Tech are actively trying to censor the information …
Cardinal Michael Czerny, SJ, 79, said that during the consistory on 7-8 January, he did not hear anyone say, "Oh, I’m sorry we didn’t discuss the liturgy". He told the Substack.com-account The Pillar on 13 January, that what Leo XIV will do with the Mass of the Roman Rite is "beyond my pay grade": "I can’t speculate about how he intends to approach the situation. But I can’t imagine a pope who wouldn’t want to bring peace to the Church. I think every pope since St Peter would want that," the cardinal speculated. In general, he found the consistory a "healthy" exercise. "As soon as we got together and realised that the first thing we would do was spend the whole afternoon discussing it, we realised we were already at work. People immediately switched into gear. All three sessions were good." "Not Possible Without Pope Francis" When asked if the lack of collegiality among the cardinals wasn’t the elephant in the room under Francis, Cardinal Czerny denied it, saying: “No, quite the …තව
Just as the democracy of the French Revolution destroyed the monarchy, synodality seeks to destroy the structure of the Church. As for the liturgy, it's understandable that they don't want to discuss it, since the traditional liturgy doesn't fit with modernist doctrine.
PART OF THE MEANING OF THE CROSS AND THE LETTER "A" IN THE SKY AS THE LORD LET ME KNOW, The 7 trumpets (a trumpet is a warning, though some crazy people they hear sounds and say they hear the trumpets, when they do not understand the bible symbolism some even dare to say that Donald Trump because of Trump is one of the Trumpets mentioned in the Book of revelation the Apocalypse, when it's not, lunacy is what it is with these fanatic speaking nuisance. Last name Trump has nothing to do with the 7 Trumpets or 7 warnings given by heaven to humanity, we living now in the 5th and 6th Trumpet. These are signs, warnings to all of us to wake up because once the last warning or the 7 Trumpet is given, then we will have the cups of chastisement. The 7 seals are 7 heavenly secrets that are revealed to humanity to destroy the influence and power of the anti-christ in the souls, but not all souls will break away form such power. The 7 secrets or seals are to humble humanity and return them to God. …තව

Merry Christmas to everyone and to all your loved ones. A great sermon on Saint Joseph this Christmas. Jeffrey Ade St. Joseph and the Mystery of Christmas God gives special graces to those whom He elects for special missions. After the role of the Mother of God, the most important office in God’s Plan is the role of St. Joseph: father to the Christ Child and protector of His most chaste mother. St. Joseph was born free of original sin, never committed actual sin, and made a vow of celibacy. After a time in Limbo, his body was assumed into Heaven. The Incarnation (Christmas) was always in the Mind of the God. Thus, He eternally predestined that His Son have a true Mother and a holy guardian. It is fitting that we honor Mary with hyperdulia and St. Joseph with protodulia. Remember to say 3 Hail Marys for the priest.
According to St. Bridget of Sweden Saint Joseph distributes all the graces, virtues and gifts after Blessed Virgin, being just 'a level' below Most Holy Mary. It looks that Saint Joseph is Number 2 under Mary among the Saints. Happy those who ask Him for help! Best kept secret.
