A few notes.
- First, one of you who follow the daily Mass stream from Canada… your mailbox is full. You are missed.
- I have some additional photos of things my mother made. I had the pleasure of sending one back to her home state of Wyoming to a reader who bought a piece. Thanks.
- I was wondering about the lack of Mass intention requests. Then I found all your emails in my spam folder. I responded to all of you, I think. If you make a request please use the form. And PLEASE don’t send stipends without using the form.
- Holy Mass today is for my benefactors. Thank you. I generally say Mass at 1700 EDT. Unite in prayer.

According to Infovaticana…
Four months after Leo XIV’s letter to the French bishops, the faithful of the Vetus Ordo still see no changes
“Asked about the letter sent on March 18 by Cardinal Pietro Parolin on behalf of Leo XIV, Darantière laments that, four months later, he perceives no change of attitude on the part of the French episcopate. He recalls that, after the last plenary assembly held in Lourdes, several bishops took for granted that the application of Traditionis Custodes would remain unchanged.”
Taurina cacata… the gift that keeps on giving.
White mates in 4.
NB: I’ll hold comments with solutions ’till the next day so there won’t be “spoilers” for others.
I appreciate Leo for wanting lower powers to simply make TC a dead letter, but these bishops will not act unless a direct command is given from the Holy See.
