Does The Vatican II Lectionary Distort Scripture?

“I have noticed that when the present Lectionary occasionally proposes a ‘Shorter Form’ for one of the Gospel readings, the lines edited are something Our Lord said that comfortable people would rather He had not said.” — Fr. George W. Rutler

Alfons Cardinal Stickler, Peritus during Vatican II

St Teresa’s Dad and Standards

“My father was fond of reading good books and had some in Spanish so that his children might read them too.” – some in Spanish – today we assume our books would be in our native tongue, but not so in St Teresa’s home.

Composing Heals a Heavy Heart

The Two Churches: Which One Do You Belong To?

There really are two churches: one is the true Church, the other is an anti-Church that represents and does the spadework for the anti-Christ, the anti-Word. It is spiritually beneficial to consider a portrait of each.

Random Quote

A priest celebrating the Mass “ad orientem” is no more turning his back on the people than a teacher leading her students in the “Pledge of Allegiance” is slighting them by turning her back on them and facing the flag with them.

— Archbishop Salvatore Cordileone (6 April 2025)
