Steroids are on the way to Angelus Press. Like steroids for the brain. German steroids. Fr. Markus Heggenberger, most recently from a professorship at St. Thomas Aquinas Seminary and, before that, St. Mary's Academy and College, will join the Angelus Press staff in September in order to someday lead it. On behalf of those who depend on Angelus Press and those who are coming to depend on it in the days of the lingering crisis and the Summorum Pontificum kickstart, I thank Bishop Fellay and Fr. John Fullerton for their attention and graciousness. For myself, I tell you, Fr. Heggenberger will be most welcome.

I can't do better on this page usually reserved for myself than to take four extra to reprint the July 1988 "Letter From the Editor" of Fr. François Laisney, SSPX, then Superior of the US District and Editor-in-Chief of The Angelus. Twenty years have passed since the historic "Operation Survival," the episcopal consecrations of Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre. Any of us reading this might admit to having a short memory of the event; some of us, after two decades, have to admit to having no memory of the event. In any case, Fr. Laisney does a remarkable job reviewing the facts leading up to and including the event that make it worthy of republication.

Fortitude is a condition of every virtue, helping us to act virtuously with strength. It is also itself a virtue which makes us face down dangers and trials. Two things, however, deny Fortitude: pursuit of pleasure unhinged from rightness of reason, and shrinking from what right reason presents as the path of action because of anticipated (often imaginary) difficulties of mind or body. Fear of difficult things weakens the will and causes it to back off from following right reason. Sometimes we are called to withstand fear over time in order that we might overcome it entirely; this is called daring. Therefore, Fortitude is about curbing fear and moderating daring. Fortitude overcomes fear yet restrains us from becoming foolhardy. The principal act of Fortitude is endurance, that is, to stand immovable amidst dangers.

I want to quote to you some recent correspondence sent Angelus Press from His Excellency Bishop Tissier de Mallerais, SSPX. In reply to my question, “Which books do you think are most essential for the faithful in these days?” he gave this answer:
1) For all, their missal and their catechism.
2) For young men, books on the social kingship of Christ.
3) For young ladies, books on cooking, sewing, and how to furnish a home.

Best Wishes for A Merry Christmas and A Happy New Year. Congratulations!! 2007 and 2008 are memorable years for Angelus Press. In 2007, our Holy Father the Pope Benedict XVI promulgated Motu Proprio “Summorum Pontificum.” And 2008 is the 30th anniversary of Angelus Press. Do you have any special plan for anniversary? I would like to send my spiritual bouquet to you with this Christmas card.

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

Despite a probable proliferation of Latin Masses in some quarters, it is obvious the Society of St. Pius X must still exist because it has ongoing reasons to do so. In every case, while the Latin Mass is the centerpiece in importance, it is not the only important thing, especially if the Latin Mass is only the newest sensation, smells and bells and all. What about the fullness of doctrine? What about the Catholic life meant to match the Mass? “What about its radiation into the established institutions–education, medicine, politics, economics, and law?” asks Fr. Franz Schmidberger. These are issues which remain unsettled and unsettling amidst the Summorum Pontificum euphoria. As long as Rome insists that the Old Mass is really the New Mass and vice-versa, they will remain so.

I have three numbers to give you. The first is zero. This is the number of 1962 Roman Catholic Daily Missals we currently have in stock. The second number is 700. This is the number of our daily hand-missals sold last Friday to a church in the Chicago archdiocese celebrating the Mass of the Extraordinary Form (a.k.a. the Latin Mass of 1962). The third number is 105,650. This is the number of dollars contributed in September by our apostolate partners allowing Angelus Press to amp up its revised production schedule for the rest of 2007.
