I had a note from someone that she couldn’t log in through her iPhone and therefore couldn’t comment on an entry.
Anyone having problems?
Some words of wisdom…
The more vigorously the primacy was displayed, the more the question came up about the extent and and limits of [papal] authority, which of course, as such, had never been considered. After the Second Vatican Council, the impression arose that the pope really could do anything in liturgical matters, especially if he were acting on the mandate of an ecumenical council. Eventually, the idea of the givenness of the liturgy, the fact that one cannot do with it what one will, faded from the public consciousness of the West. In fact, the First Vatican Council had in no way defined the pope as an absolute monarch. On the contrary, it presented him as the guarantor of obedience to the revealed Word. The pope's authority is bound to the Tradition of faith. … The authority of the pope is not unlimited; it is at the service of Sacred Tradition.

"We as Catholics have not properly combated (the culture) because we have not been taught our Catholic Faith, especially in the depth needed to address these grave evils of our time. This is a failure of catechesis both of children and young people that has been going on for fifty years. It is being addressed, but it needs much more radical attention... What has also contributed greatly to the situation is an exaltation of the virtue of tolerance which is falsely seen as the virtue which governs all other virtues. In other words, we should tolerate other people in their immoral actions to the extent that we seem also to accept the moral wrong. Tolerance is a virtue, but it is certainly not the principal virtue; the principal virtue is charity... Charity means speaking the truth. I have encountered it (not speaking the truth) many times myself as a priest and bishop. It is something we simply need to address. There is far too much silence — people do not want to talk about it because the topic is not 'politically correct.' But we cannot be silent any longer."Raymond Card. Burke

Aedificantium enim unusquisque gladio erat accinctus.

"Where priest and people together face the same way, what we have is a cosmic orientation and also in interpretation of the Eucharist in terms of resurrection and trinitarian theology. Hence it is also an interpretation in terms of parousia, a theology of hope, in which every Mass is an approach to the return of Christ."Joseph Ratzinger - The Feast of Faith
"In those situations where homosexual unions have been legally recognized or have been given the legal status and rights belonging to marriage, clear and emphatic opposition is a duty. ... If all Catholics are obliged to oppose the legal recognition of homosexual unions, Catholic politicians are obliged to do so in a particular way, in keeping with their responsibility as politicians." CDF 2003
One of the most dangerous errors is that civilization is automatically bound to increase and spread. The lesson of history is the opposite; civilization is a rarity, attained with difficulty and easily lost. The normal state of humanity is barbarism, just as the normal surface of the planet is salt water. Land looms large in our imagination and civilization in history books, only because sea and savagery are to us less interesting. — C. S. Lewis For contemplation…
"One of the few things in life you can be absolutely sure about is that, if Management tells you it doesn't like your Tone, you are getting something right."
"Latin is a precise, essential language. It will be abandoned, not because it is unsuitable for the new requirements of progress, but because the new men will not be suitable for it. When the age of demagogues and charlatans begins, a language like Latin will no longer be useful, and any oaf will be able to give a speech in public and talk in such a way that he will not be kicked off the stage. The secret to this will consist in the fact that, by making use of words that are general, elusive, and sound good, he will be able to speak for an hour without saying anything. With Latin, this is impossible."- - Giovanni Guareschi

I can’t log in at the space after each post, but I CAN log in at the very bottom of the page. I’m using an iPhone.
I had the same problem also. It returned a message: “Cannot be found”. Following the advice of Frank, I logged in at the very bottom of the page.
I had similar problems.
Works for me on my Blackberry.
I have had no problems and have logged on several times (like Frank, using the bottom of the page.)
Is this a problem that just started or has it always been this way?
Also, are you using your cellphone network or wi-fi?
I had the same problem a few days ago, and for the first and only time.
Fr., I really appreciate how easy it is to read articles on your site. It is the first one I go to when on the iphone because of this.
After reading these comments, I tried ‘normal view’ on my iPhone, and obviously can finally log on. But I do have to go to ‘full version’ for the comment box to appear. I seriously thought the HS was trying to tell me something…
Seems fine (Motorola Q phone)
I’ve not been able to login for a couple of months. I use my cell wireless. It just worked starting today.
I’m able to log in and comment on my iPhone.
I experience the difficulty on both wifi and cell phone carrier. I’m not sure but I think it worked properly when you first introduced the new mobile view for iPhone.
Hi, I’m posting from my nokia.
I’ve never been able to log in from my iPhone. When I try to log in at the bottom of the comments, I get an error message: “Not Found. The requested URL /wp-login.php was not found on this server.”
I can only log on now from my iPhone but not my home computer. Are logins restricted to one machine?
Wow… all sorts of problems here. I don’t know what is going on.
I will try a couple things.
Keep posting feedback. What happened, what your phone is. What changed.
No change yet for this iPhone user. Can not log in from the posts (I get a Not Found message), but CAN log in at the bottom of the page.
No problems when I use my Blackberry.
I am using my Sprint Samsung Rant and it was pretty easy to post this response.
