English - Institute of Christ the King Sovereign Priest (ICKSP) The altar boys always wear blue and white, and that is how you know. Piety is palpable in a Latin Mass church. Some kneel on the hard floor, not the kneelers. The name in the video is Vietnamese...no wise cracks. Also see Latin Mass in History, 2013 Paris. Lille is about 2 1/2 hours north of Paris.

Mauritania, population 4.3M, is almost 100% Muslim, with most inhabitants adhering to the Sunni denomination. The nation is very poor, and it's illiteracy rate is estimated at 30-50%, causing the people to be easily misled.
The Sufi orders, the Tijaniyah and the Qadiriyyah, have great influence in other countries, too, such as Morocco, Algeria, and Senegal. The Roman Catholic Diocese Nouakchott, founded in 1965, serves 4,500 Catholics, mostly foreign residents from West Africa and Europe. The diocese has one bishop. A bishop in an average US diocese has 350,000 Catholics. There are extreme restrictions on freedom of religion and belief in Mauritania; it is one of 13 countries in the world that punish atheism by death. On April 27, 2018, the National Assembly passed a law that makes the death penalty mandatory for anyone convicted of "blasphemous speech" and acts deemed "sacrilegious". The new law eliminates the possibility of substituting prison terms for the death penalty for certain apostasy-related crimes even though the "offender" has repented. The law also provides for a sentence of up to two years in prison and a fine of up to 600,000 Ouguiyas (over $18,000) for "offending public indecency and Islamic values" and for "breaching Allah's prohibitions" or assisting in their breach.

On a piece of paper, draw a typical star shape starting at the bottom left point, and five sides, or straight lines, will unfold.

The Cathedral of Saint Mary of the Assumption at the corner of Van Ness and O'Farrell served from when it was completed in 1891 to 1962 when it was destroyed by fire. The Romanesque Revival structure was designed by the Chicago architectural firm of Egan and Prindeville.  Can. 750 §2. Each and every thing which is proposed definitively by the magisterium of the Church concerning the doctrine of faith and morals, that is, each and every thing which is required to safeguard reverently and to expound faithfully the same deposit of faith, is also to be firmly embraced and retained; therefore, one who rejects those propositions which are to be held definitively is opposed to the doctrine of the Catholic Church.
Can. 751 Heresy is the obstinate denial or obstinate doubt after the reception of baptism of some truth which is to be believed by divine and Catholic faith; apostasy is the total repudiation of the Christian faith; schism is the refusal of submission to the Supreme Pontiff or of communion with the members of the Church subject to him. https://www.vatican.va/archive/cod-iuris-canonici/eng/documents/cic_lib3-cann747-755_en.html red highlight added How can the practitioners go to confession?

The Latin Mass is at two venues:
The Conceptionists wear a white habit and scapular with a blue cloak and an image of the BVM. Maria de Agreda, b. 1602, d. 1665, Agreda, Soria, Spain, and author of The Mystical City of God, was a Conceptionist. The cloistered congregation is at present spread widely throughout Spain and Belgium. A very good friend of mine visited Agreda, but it was only after much back and forth that the nuns agreed to let his daughters inside the convent for a social call.
The other works of Maria de Agreda are
O Lord Jesus Christ, You are the Good Shepherd! With your almighty hand you guide the church militant on earth through the storms of each age. Therefore, the boat of the Church remains unsinkable in the unheard of crisis, which in our day obfuscates the honor of the Holy See and the life of the entire Church.
O Lord, grant Pope Francis the grace neither to fear the powerful of this world nor to compromise with the spirit of the age. Illuminate Pope Francis that he may preserve, strengthen, and defend the Catholic Faith unto the shedding of his blood, and preserve, protect, and hand on the venerable liturgy of the Roman Church. O Lord, enkindle in Pope Francis the zeal of the Apostles, so that he may proclaim to the whole world; “Salvation is found in no other than in Jesus Christ. For there is no other name under heaven given to men by which they should be saved” (see Acts 4:10-12). O Lord, grant Pope Francis the grace that he may make the Holy See shine once more as the cathedra of truth for the whole world. Hear us, O Lord, and through the intercession of the Immaculate Heart of Mary, Mother of the Church, and of all Holy Popes, grant Pope Francis the grace that he may be converted and strengthen his brethren in the faith, as you promised to the Apostle Peter (see Luke 22:32). O Lord, let thy mercy come upon Pope Francis! O Lord, let thy mercy come upon thy whole Church! In thee we place our hope, let us not be confounded for ever. Amen.

Kyrie Eleison! Christe Eleison! Kyrie Eleison! Lord Jesus Christ, You are the Good Shepherd! With your almighty hand you guide Your pilgrim Church through the storms of each age. Adorn the Holy See with holy popes who neither fear the powerful of this world nor compromise with the spirit of the age, but preserve, strengthen, and defend the Catholic Faith unto the shedding of their blood, and observe, protect, and hand on the venerable liturgy of the Roman Church. O Lord, return to us through holy popes who, inflamed with the zeal of the Apostles, proclaim to the whole world: “Salvation is found in no other than in Jesus Christ. For there is no other name under heaven given to men by which they should be saved” (see Acts 4:10-12). Through an era of holy popes, may the Holy See—which is home to all who promote the Catholic and Apostolic Faith—always shine as the cathedra of truth for the whole world. Hear us, O Lord, and through the intercession of the Immaculate Heart of Mary, Mother of the Church, grant us holy Popes, grant us many holy Popes! Have mercy on us and hear us! Amen.

SSPX District Superior of Germany Fr. Stefan Pfluger Nine days ago Excerpt “The question of religious liberty is almost always completely misunderstood, especially in the media, where it is claimed that those who are opposed to religious liberty are in favor of religious coercion, which is not the case. “It has always been forbidden to force people to become Catholic. The question is rather, does the state have any obligation to God? The modern position is clear: no. However, the traditional understanding is that the state must keep in mind the final, supernatural end of its citizens, and must work to this end. “The document originally prepared for the council [Vatican II] spoke of ‘de tolerantia religiosa’, that is, of religious tolerance, and not ‘de libertate religiosa’, that is, of religious liberty. Tolerance is the key word here. It is possible to tolerate an evil. “Error, no matter of what kind it is, has no right to exist, but it can be tolerated. However, the modern understanding of religious liberty is exactly that error has a right to exist.” Source: Reddit, r/TraditionalCatholics Willsxyz  Costa Rica
2016 In 2016, Fr. Sixto Eduardo Varela Santamaría made headlines in the secular media when he refused to allow a practicing homosexual to act as a godparent in a baptism. (photo from Matthew Cullinan Hoffman, date unknown) 2019 By 2019, Fr. Varela, Chancellor of the Diocese of Alajuela, had been saying the Mass for a community of hundreds of faithful. With permission, the liturgies were celebrated at the parish of San Jose, of which he was pastor. Fr. Varela and other members of the faithful say that the priest obeyed his bishop’s refusal to grant him permission to continue saying the pre-reform Mass but exercised his right under canon law to celebrate the reformed [Novus Ordo] Mass in Latin, which stoked the ire of his prelate and led to his ouster. Varela was sent to psychological treatment by his bishop who was angry with him for doing the reformed liturgy [Novus Ordo] in Latin and ad orientem. The removal left hundreds without a pastor and without the traditional sacraments. I gleaned the information from a California Catholic Daily news report dated August 22, 2021. Roache (age 74), Vatican prefect of blah-blah-blah, is threatening to end the pilgrimage to Chartres June 7, 8, and 9, 2025, because the Latin Mass is the conclusion. The Paris-Chartres Pilgrimage is a three-day walk from Notre-Dame de Paris to Notre-Dame de Chartres, approximately 60 miles. He says that the Latin Mass represents the dead faith of the living. Ulrich (age 73), Archbishop of Paris, forbids the Latin Mass at Notre-Dame de Paris.

For this he was criticized by the Catholic Herald. 2018 In October 2018, Sosa spoke about secularization, saying, “What if we try, instead, to look at secularization as a sign of the times, in the theological sense that the Second Vatican Council gave to this expression? It means looking at secularization, and the secular world that arises from it, as one of the ways the Spirit is speaking to us and guiding us in this time.” In the same month, in an interview with EWTN, Sosa argued that “the pope is not the chief of the Church, he’s the Bishop of Rome”. 2019 On August 21, 2019, Sosa declared in an interview that the devil “exists as the personification of evil in different structures, but not in persons, because [he] is not a person, [he] is a way of acting evil. He is not a person like a human person. It is a way of evil to be present in human life. […] Good and evil are in a permanent war in the human conscience, and we have ways to point them out. We recognize God as good, fully good. Symbols are part of reality, and the devil exists as a symbolic reality, not as a personal reality.” The American Spectator’s George Neumayr described Sosa as a ‘Marxist’ and ‘a Venezuelan communist and modernist’”.  graph courtesy of Nineteen Sixty-four, a research blog for the Center for Applied Research in the Apostolate (CARA) at Georgetown University and edited by Mark M.

Village of Riaumont, France Holy Cross Religious Institute of Riaumont serves youth through scouting as Father Jacques Sevin wanted. Fathers and brothers work towards their own sanctification and the education of children, adolescents, and young adults within this Scout Order. Riaumont translated is "royal mountain". Tolkien invariably ranks in the top ten writers of the 20th century. He had a special devotion to the Blessed Sacrament and wrote to his son, Michael, saying, "[In] the Blessed Sacrament … you will find romance, glory, honour, fidelity, and the true way of all your loves upon earth, and more than that."
Tolkien resisted Vatican II liturgical changes, his primary objection being the use of English. A fluent Latin speaker, he said that the translations were clumsy. After 1969's New Order, although altar boys had said the Latin Mass responses alone, and still do, he loudly said the responses in Latin himself. The Agatha Christie indult had 57 signatories. Names everyone instantly recognize include the author herself, writer Graham Greene, violinist Yehudi Menuhin, journalist-philosopher Malcolm Muggeridge, actor Ralph Richardson, and opera singer Joan Sutherland. Not Tolkien. The others were writers, editors, literary scholars and critics, and classicists, and a few politicians and military men. Anglo Irish Cecil Day-Lewis CBE (Commander of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire) was Poet Laureate of the United Kingdom. I reported on this before, but here are more details.
In January 2024, two priests were suspended by the Diocese of Covington, KY. Fathers Collins and Kopcyznski were suspended because of their criticism of modern worship practices. The culprit is Bishop John Iffert. Iffert announced that Fathers Shannon Collins and Sean Kopczynski no longer had permission to celebrate the sacraments, thus leaving the parish that they administered—Our Lady of Lourdes—without priests. The Missionaries of St. John the Baptist, to which the two priests belong, own the church building and have not authorized its use by other clerics. Iffert said that he took action because of “serious concerns about the parish’s pastoral leadership.” He said that in a recent homily Father Collins had dismissed the Novus Ordo as irrelevant and that the reform of the liturgy after Vatican II was prompted by hatred for the ancient ritual. And the number of diocesan priests who say the Latin Mass grows, until they are canceled. Society of Saint Pius X

(regarding the Roman Missal, 1962, Last Edition) … Let all everywhere adopt and observe what has been handed down by the Holy Roman Church, the Mother and Teacher of the other churches, and let Masses not be sung or read according to any other formula than that of this Missal published by Us. This ordinance applies henceforth, now, and forever, throughout all the provinces of the Christian world, to all patriarchs, cathedral churches, collegiate and parish churches, be they secular or religious, both of men and of women – even of military orders – and of churches or chapels without a specific congregation in which conventual Masses are sung aloud in choir or read privately in accord with the rites and customs of the Roman Church. This Missal is to be used by all churches, even by those which in their authorization are made exempt, whether by Apostolic indult, custom, or privilege, or even if by oath or official confirmation of the Holy See, or have their rights and faculties guaranteed to them by any other manner whatsoever. … Given at St. Peter’s in the year of the Lord’s Incarnation, 1570, on the 14th of July of the Fifth year of Our Pontificate. source: Holy See (Vatican) website All Novus Ordo Masses, reverent or not, or any other violate Quo Primum, and that is the plain language of it. For this reason, as best as I can, I will not support or promote any organization or religious community that attends the New Order Mass. You've had four years to consider these things, ever since the church closures in 2020. What will it take to move you? Worse? A flood on the scale of Noah? Your passivity gives these cancelers and naysayers hope. The film Charlie Chan in Honolulu, the part when Dr. Cardigan made comments about the cornea of the deceased (Det. Charlie Chan in...), made me think of Juan Diego.
• Engineer Jose Aste Tonsmann, has amplified an image of the pupils of the Blessed Virgin by 2500 times. [She is on Juan's tilma.] This allowed him to identify not only what appears to be the image of Bishop Zumarraga, but also several other witnesses of the miracle reflected there. [The miracle: The BVM bundled flowers into Juan's cloak, or tilma. When Juan Diego presented the tilma of exotic flowers to Zumárraga, the flowers fell out, and he recognized them as Castilian roses not found in Mexico. The BVM received another title, Our Lady of Guadalupe.] • The images in the pupils also manifest the triple reflection called the Samson-Purkinje effect. This effect was completely unknown at the time of the image’s formation. [1531] • The image in the eyes of the Virgin follow[s] the curvature of the cornea precisely in the way it occurs in a normal human eye. https://www.magiscenter.com/blog/the-science-or-lack-thereof-behind-juan-diegos-tilma |
