The members of the Society of St. Josaphat belong to the Ukrainian Greek-Catholic Church. But no small difficulty awaits the Latin-Rite Catholic who wishes to look into this Church, what she represents, and her present situation. Indeed, Eastern-Rite Churches are often very little known in the West, and we do not realize very clearly what they truly represent. Consequently, we will try to take a glimpse at this important part of the Catholic Church.

Unity, order, discipline, mortification, and example are your first responsibilities as parents. They all are meant to flow from the union established by the Sacrament of Matrimony, but they result only from your collaboration with grace. Have you been faithful thus far? Where might things be improved in your households? The education of the children is the reason for which you were married, it cannot fall to second rung, it is the reason for being of your state in life.

Instantaneous news reports are a curse laid on humanity by Mars or the Devil, or both. There is much to be said for what we moderns would think of as stale news--news received, as Americans in the days of the early Republic received it, three or four weeks after the event, a delay that allowed for the slowing, even the avoidance, of the chain reaction typical of the modern era. Instantaneous news produces a nearly instantaneous response, and so the sequence of human events has been greatly, and disastrously, accelerated in the last century and a half.

In our time, it is the young who have the most to bear, for we who are old still have the memory of a world in which order prevailed and life's purpose was plain. The institutional Church supported us and was a bulwark against the incursions of the age. What sort of memory of the Church have the generations who have succeeded us? When has the institutional Church been anything to them but a maelstrom of contention and corruption?

It is sad indeed to have to say it, but there are Catholics who faithfully receive Holy Communion but who do not know how to assist at Mass. Our fathers had an idea of the Mass that the Catholics of today no longer have...This great affair accomplished on Golgotha and reproduced from day to day, from instant to instant on earth—this is the great wonder of the world.
On February 22, 2007, His Holiness Benedict XVI made public the Apostolic Exhortation Sacramentum Caritatis, a document reflecting the conclusions of the 2005 Synod of Bishops on the Eucharist. In general, this document can be considered both as an attempt to rein in the avalanche of liturgical abuses we have seen over the course of the last 40 years and as an effort to reverse the Church's course by re-appropriating certain elements that were gradually lost along the way after the Council. It is an effort, though, that runs the risk of sterility as long as it confirms the principle of collegiality “baptized” by Vatican II, and as long as the hierarchy hesitates to reassert the coercive aspect of law, which requires that measures be taken against those who infringe it.
St. John, the Apostle of love, is also the prophet of the avenging justice of God (the Apocalypse), and there is nothing contradictory in this. God’s avenging justice is nothing else than the proclamation by the Supreme Good of His right to be loved above all things. This divine attribute, which cannot be lacking to the perfect Being, only manifests itself after His mercy has been repeatedly despised, in spite of all the means deployed—such as salutary temporal pains—to wrest the guilty from perdition.

Often when individuals are in a “dream-state,” they know that they are merely dreaming. The judgment that one is in a dream-state necessitates a choice: do you continue to dream or do you try to jar yourself into consciousness of the real? The clear point of Fr. Dominic Bourmaud’s book One Hundred Years of Modernism is to awaken Catholics from a dream that many recognize to be a nightmare. The first step to getting out of a dream is to recognize that one is dreaming. After this comes the choice.

Americanism as an issue for Catholics first surfaced during the pontificate of Leo XIII (1878-1903). The Holy Father initially sounded his concerns in Longinqua Oceani, addressed in 1895 to America’s archbishops and bishops. In that document, the Pope paid tribute to the progress of the faith in the US, even allowing that America’s 19th-century government policy of Lockean toleration tacitly contributed: “For the Church...unopposed by the Constitution and government of your nation, fettered by no hostile legislation...is free to live and act without hindrance."

Mysticism. I don’t like the word nor what it’s come to mean. A wise priest told me that “mysticism” usually begins with mist and ends with schism. In any case, Archbishop Lefebvre was neither misty nor schismatic. He proves it in The Mass of All Time, the newest book published by Angelus Press. It is constructed of 326 pages in two parts. The first is all Archbishop Lefebvre said about the Holy Sacrifice arranged smartly as running commentary in parallel with the Mass. The second is his firm analysis of the Novus Ordo Mass

What is meant by the expression “sensus fidei”? This expression is not properly speaking theological, nor is it consequently precisely defined. However, it is used to mean a “way of thinking that is governed by the truths of the Faith."

Isn’t religious freedom a result of man’s freedom? Did the new liturgy keep the Feast of Christ the King? What are the consequences of religious liberty? What is meant by ecumenism? What judgment in keeping with the Catholic Faith should we make of ecumenism? What is the new conception of ecumenism?
