“He [Satan] will set up a counter-Church which will be the ape of the Church because, he the devil, is the ape of God. It will have all the notes and characteristics of the Church, but in reverse and emptied of its divine content. It will be a mystical body of the anti-Christ that will in all externals resemble the mystical body of Christ. In desperate need for God, whom he nevertheless refuses to adore, modern man in his loneliness and frustration will hunger more and more for membership in a community that will give him enlargement of purpose, but at the cost of losing himself in some vague collectivity.”
“Who is going to save our Church? Not our bishops, not our priests and religious. It is up to you, the people. You have the minds, the eyes, and the ears to save the Church. Your mission is to see that your priests act like priests, your bishops act like bishops.”
- Fulton Sheen

"But if, in any layman who is indeed imbued with literature, ignorance of the Latin language, which we can truly call the 'catholic' language, indicates a certain sluggishness in his love toward the Church, how much more fitting it is that each and every cleric should be adequately practiced and skilled in that language!" - Pius XI
"Let us realize that this remark of Cicero (Brutus 37, 140) can be in a certain way referred to [young lay people]: 'It is not so much a matter of distinction to know Latin as it is disgraceful not to know it.'" - St. John Paul II
Grant unto thy Church, we beseech Thee, O merciful God, that She, being gathered together by the Holy Ghost, may be in no wise troubled by attack from her foes. O God, who by sin art offended and by penance pacified, mercifully regard the prayers of Thy people making supplication unto Thee,and turn away the scourges of Thine anger which we deserve for our sins. Almighty and Everlasting God, in whose Hand are the power and the government of every realm: look down upon and help the Christian people that the heathen nations who trust in the fierceness of their own might may be crushed by the power of thine Arm. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, Thy Son, who liveth and reigneth with Thee in the unity of the Holy Ghost, God, world without end. R. Amen.

Speaking of St. Agnes, where is Father Altier these days? Has Archbishop Nienstedt rehabilitated him from his pariah status at a nursing home?
I will remember Monsignor during my Holy Hour this evening
Does any know if Monsignor Schuler was a fan of Dvorak?
I’ve always admired Msgr. Schuler from afar. Is there a book that tells his story? I’ve always wondered how he withstood the tide of the ‘spirit of VII’ that swept the country. Was there episcopal pressure that he had to withstand? I’m sure that when he had to stand firm he did so with grace.
RIP.
Mass in D flat was sung often by the Chorale. The tenor solo “Christe, Christe, eleison” is quite memorable.
I attended St Agnes from 2002-2007 but didn’t get to see Msgr all too often. I first found out about the Twin Cities Chorale in the Adoremus Bulletin. I’m happy I did after moving to the liturgical wasteland of the Dio of Winona.
I am going out with friends tonight, and will be sure to toast “himself.”
In cleaning up some old papers I recently came across a holy card of Bl. Karl von Hapsburg and some letters which Monsignor wrote to me. I think of and pray for him frequently.
Me too, Father. Requiescat in pace.
Having only been a member of St. Agnes since earlier this year, I never had the privilege of knowing Monsignor. But it is apparent to me that many of the things I love about the parish exist as a direct result of his decades of ministry and work there, and for that reason I feel personally indebted to him. I will remember him in my prayer today. Thanks for letting us know, Father.
Fr. Altier has not been freed by Abp. Nienstadt but he is regularly presiding the TLM at St. Augustine’s in South St. Paul, MN at 11:30 each Sunday.
Knowing Fr. Altier’s love for the contemplative life, I would imagine he is making the most of his time at the nursing home, although we certainly miss his “voice in the wilderness.”
Regarding Msgr. Schuler, eternal memory!
Un vero romano.
Fabrizio: A high compliment indeed!
