The Last Lame-Duck
From a reader:
I just wanted to express my delight that I am about to go (at 6.00pm GMT here in England) to the last Mass I shall ever attend where the 1973 lame-duck translations of the propers are said.

WDTPRS The Last Sunday: Beg His help. Beg His mercy. Praise Him for His gifts.
This is the Last Sunday of the liturgical year. Though it is numerically the 23rd Sunday after Pentecost, in the traditional Roman calendar, we use the texts from the 24th Sunday, which is always the Last Sunday of the liturgical … Continue reading
QUAERITUR: Mass obligation and crossing the International Date Line
From a reader:
I plan a trip to New Zealand to attend a conference. Current travel plans call for leaving LAX Saturday evening. The flight crosses the international date line, and so it lands in Auckland on Monday morning. … Continue reading
QUAERITUR: “Thee” instead of “you” in the form for baptism
From a reader:
I understand that there is a number of traslations of the traditional
form of Baptism, which can be used instead of the Latin.
However some translate the baptism as “I baptize you” while others “I
baptize thee”
It may sound trivial, but … Continue reading

I guess it’s a “conscience thing”
From the delightfully-named Weasel Zippers comes this:
[Former Speaker of the House and catholic Nancy] Pelosi [D-CA8] on Catholic’s Being Anti-Abortion: “They Have This Conscience Thing”…
And she called Cain “clueless?”
Via WaPo:
. . . Pelosi recently was criticized for the way she … Continue reading
Blog was down for a while
The blog was down for a while today due, as I am able to figure out, to a massive outage at a key internet provider. There was some kind of core network failure. In any event, the fact that I … Continue reading

Reflections on the closing of the Irish Embassy to the Holy See
I’ve been thinking about the decision to close the Irish Embassy to the Holy See.
If I were the Vatican’s Secretary of State, I would close the Holy See’s Embassy in Ireland because of budgetary constraints, and inform them that all … Continue reading
Concerning the end of the liturgical year and turning toward the new
In the newer, post-Conciliar calendar we are focused on the end times in the Feast of Christ the King. In the older, traditional calendar there is no special festal liturgy for this Sunday. This is a poignant way … Continue reading

What I think about that!
This echoes something of my thought about the new Shakespeare movie which I don’t intend to pay to see.

QUAERITUR: Saying “for all” even after the new translation is in force.
From a reader:
I was wondering what the mind of Catholics ought to be toward the validity of Masses which are celebrated after the implementation of the Third Edition of the Roman Missal by certain Priests who may dare to continue … Continue reading

The Feeder Feed: back from the cruise edition
Some shots from the Feeder.
The Chickadees were on a cruise, I think. They are back now, and in large numbers.
I don’t know how they get those sunflower seeds open, but they do.
Still life with flying life.
Ray.
You can tell it is … Continue reading

Over at Sancte Pater we find this from the Beeb:
