Kyle, one of our readers, sent us this fascinating liturgical artifact.
When the three new Canons were published, the Consilium sent the conferences a letter (dated 2 June 1968) “to assist catechesis on the anaphoras of the Mass.”
The fact that this recording was created by one person will astound you. The fact that it’s offered to you free of charge is even better!
When was the last time you saw the music of today’s popular Catholic composers treated in a serious way?
“If the right is given to African tribes to include their pagan traditions in the liturgy, I think the same should also be given to the rite of a thousand year-old Christian Church, based on a much older Roman tradition.” — László Dobszay
Maybe I should have used the annoying little saying I learned as a kid: “I would if I could, but I can’t, so I won’t.”

“Have mercy on your church,” Cardinal Ratzinger prayed in 2005. “When we fall, we drag you down to earth, and Satan laughs, for he hopes that you will not be able to rise from that fall; he hopes that being dragged down in the fall of your church, you will remain prostrate and overpowered.”

In some respects, the Second Vatican Council did not go as far as Pius XII went in 1958 regarding active participation of the faithful.
“We know of Vatican accompaniments, not so expert as these, that have been junked because they were Vatican. Apparently no one has junked these and no one is likely to.” — Msgr. Schmitt

We’re under tremendous pressure to transfer our website to a “subscription model.”

Our president has written the following letter:
* Thirteen Men & Coins (Holy Thursday Appeal)
Traditionally on Holy Thursday, the priest washed the feet of thirteen men. Theologians held various opinions regarding whom the “13th man” represented. Before the liturgical changes of Pope Pius XII (which changed the number from thirteen to twelve), the priest washed each man’s feet, kissed his foot, and gave him a coin.
This “coin” business seems providential—inasmuch as our appeal begins on Holy Thursday this year.
