Again about validity of absolutions by SSPX priests
A priest reader sent me a link to an article on the site of The Remnant, which is I believe a bi-monthly newspaper staunchly on the traditional side of our Catholic spectrum. The article in question concerns the validity of … Continue reading
QUAERITUR: Why won’t the bishop let a priest come to say the TLM?
From a reader:
Can my Bishop refuse to allow a priest from another diocese to say the TLM in our parish? Our priest needs someone to cover the Latin Mass during the summer and a priest from an another diocese volunteered … Continue reading
Rail by rail!
One for the Brick by Brick file.
I had a note from a friend in the Diocese of Kansas City-St. Joseph, where the great Bishop Robert Finn presides.
At St. Andrew the Apostle on the north side of KC, Fr. Vince Rogers … Continue reading
QUAERITUR: People who walk away with Hosts
From a reader:
twice in a month I have seen two examples of people receiving the Body of Christ but not consuming it in my diocese. Thankfully both Priests were strict in how they dealt with this. In the first instance, … Continue reading
WSJ on “The Trials of Father MacRae” – IMPORTANT
Falsely-accused Fr. MacRae blogs at These Stone Walls.
I bring to your attention this important article in the Wall Street Journal:
Rabinowitz: The Trials of Father MacRae
He was convicted when it was obligatory—as it remains today—to give credence to every accuser charging … Continue reading

QUAERITUR: Sister starts Mass and Father shows up around the Offertory
I generally like one question at a time, but this was so… bizzare that it needs more attention.
From a reader:
This weekend, Father was having a series of talks during his Masses which spanned about fifteen minutes, and so he was late … Continue reading
QUAERITUR: “The Gospel, the good news, of the Lord.”
From a reader:
After the Gospel, one of our priests pronounces the acclamation by saying “The Gospel, the good news, of the Lord.” It has been quite distracting for me personally when he does this because it is not the norm. … Continue reading
QUAERITUR: Can a regular Latin priest say Mass in the Anglican form?
From a reader:
With all the hullabaloo in the past with bishops not allowing priests to offer the EF Mass, I’m wondering if Latin Rite priests are allowed to celebrate the Anglican Rite in an Anglican Use Ordinary?
I consulted with a … Continue reading
TLM: We need it everywhere!

The TLM:
You may remember that Fr. Johnson gave me a tour of USS Theodore Roosevelt a few years back.
