In chessy news… in London the Team Rapid and Blitz tournament is going on. Too complicated to explain. However, a 13 year old beat Hikaru.

Hi Fr. Z,
A question . . . have you ever considered joining the FSSP? I realize that it would require the permission of your bishop and acceptance by the FSSP, not to mention a massive change in the character of your vocation (possibly even giving up WDTPRS). It may be that your current arrangement is preferable, but I was wondering especially given your devotion to The Parish™.

Could you please, Father, help stir up some prayer against this monstrous act of willful and selfish vandalism ?
Was hoping for a High Mass at my local parish TLM yesterday, but it was a Low Mass. The Introit for Trinity Sunday is one of my favorite chant settings, both musically and lyrically.
