Divine Worship: Daily Office
If you’re looking for a Divine Office (Liturgy of the Hours) that is compacted into one book, then I would highly recommend the Ordinariate version called Divine Worship: Daily Office. This Ordinariate-version is approved for all lay Catholics, it’s easier to use than the standard Roman Divine Office, and it focuses on Scripture readings like […]

Pope Francis, The Latin Mass and the Ordinariates
Since the promulgation of Pope Francis’ decree Traditionis Custodes (Guardians of the Tradition) there has been wild speculation among conservative and traditional circles within the Catholic Church. The document itself is ambiguous in some areas, which has caused some to question its legitimacy. Whether legal or not, I am on record as calling the document […]

Two Millennia ago, the eternal Logos (λόγος), or “The Word” of God, the First Cause of the universe, who created all things, and from whom all things were made (John 1:1-3 & 14) became flesh and dwelt among us. From this singular act of mercy, all others would issue forth. It would stretch backward in […]

And each time, these corrupt clergy were defeated not by schism, (the Protestant solution), nor by miracles, (the unlikely solution), but rather by faithful Catholic clergy and […]

Interview with Tony of Reverent Catholic Mass
In the wake of Traditionis Custodes, the recent papal decree that severely curtails the availability of the Traditional Latin Mass (TLM), many Catholics have been scrambling to find reverent Catholic liturgy. Some bishops have already banned the TLM in their dioceses, others have cut back on its availability. On the flip side, however, a few […]

The St. Gregory’s Prayer Book (SGPB), available directly from Ignatius Press and most book retailers, is a prayer book designed for all English-speaking Christians, using Sacred English exclusively, and […]

The End of an Era
We have reached the end of an era. Pope Francis Apostolic Letter Traditionis Custodes has revoked and nullified Pope Benedict XVI’s Apostolic Letter Summorum Pontificum which liberalized usage of the Traditional Latin Mass (1962 Missal) throughout the Church. For that matter, it also nullified Pope Saint John Paul II’s Apostolic Letter Ecclesia Dei which likewise […]
