Are you being rude to people sitting in pews behind you?

His assertion that “smoking out enemies” is best done by appointing them to high positions in the Vatican is absurd.

Corpus Christi Watershed is mentioned and cited!

The people deserve to know the truth. It is time for ignorance to end so that the faithful may develop informed opinions.

They will assume—and why shouldn’t they?—that “approved by the USCCB” applies to the hymns and songs…
What did the saints say about celebrating the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass facing East?

The Bishop of Little Rock has sent a letter (14 July 2016) forbidding his priests to celebrate Mass “ad orientem.”

Most Rev’d Serratelli says the current rubrics “reflect the real possibility that the celebrant might be facing away from the assembly.”
Three common misconceptions about the Mass and “ad orientem” worship.

If Cardinal Nichols had simply sent a letter saying why he prefers “versus populum,” I believe that would have been a better choice.

“No preference is expressed in the liturgical legislation for either position.”

Breathtaking statements from the Vatican’s chief liturgist who—while on retreat—goes 72 hours without food or water.
