  • The Pope Exorcising? May 21, 2013
    Is this an exorcism? Fr Lombardi says "no", the Diocese of Rome's exorcist says, "yes".Whatever is happening is more than a blessing; the priest seems rather anxious to communicate something to the Pope, and the security guard seems almost rude in snatching away the file, the young man seems to be experiencing something, either gaspi […]

    ...because I can and because frankly this is an absolute scandal, Fr William Leahy expressing my disquiet that Boston College, a Catholic college in the US, planned to award Enda Kenny (aka End-a-life Kenny) the pro abortion Irish Taoiseach, with an honorary degree.

  • Compendium of the 1961 Revision of the Pontificale Romanum - Part 9: The Blessing of a New Cross (1595 & 1961)
    After the blessings of objects used at the altar, such as chalices and altar linens, the Pontifical of Clement VIII places the blessing of various furnishings of a church, the first being that of a cross, or picture of the Crucifixion. The bishop wears a red stole and cope, and the simple miter; the blessing begins with “Adjutorium nostrum” and “Dominus vobi […]
