Posture Matters: The Case for Altar Rails

Unfamiliar outsiders are probably bemused to see a subject as ostensibly mundane as a piece of church furniture become a flashpoint. Of course, it is not just about a thigh height wooden or alabaster fence between the sanctuary and the nave. This is the latest battleground in a proxy war over the way the Catholic religion is lived. The little altar rail’s presence, or absence, has an outsized effect on the way we approach our God.
Communion in the hand, a reluctance to encourage the use of the confessional, and a pivot away from the recitation of the Divine Office in regular parishes have all been pursued since the Second Vatican Council with the intention of lightening the burden on the faithful. The disappearance of altar rails was a casualty of this mindset. Yet did the reform minded clerics of the twentieth century stop to consider what happens to bodies and muscles when they are freed of burdens? They become feeble.
It is the same in the spiritual life. Ease the load, spare the …

"There is a form of liturgical reductionism that the most zealous defenders of contemporary Catholicism often fall into. “It is still valid,” they assert, while ignoring that with each detail of the Church’s worship carried out sloppily or without care, a disease spreads among the faithful. The liturgy is not a sacrament machine, and the Mass is not a meal. For generations of medieval Catholics, who often received the Eucharist only once a year yet commonly and voluntarily attended Mass daily, this was clear. Every rubric of this most sacred worship mattered, consecration and communication alike. God deserves our very best. More than those in our romantic lives. More than those in our family lives. Certainly more than those in our professional lives. These loves are not in competition, nor are they opposed to love of God, and they deserve sincere devotion. But one love stands above all others, surpassing and enlivening them.... The rail slows us down. It stills the body."

At the end of his talk at SEEK 2026, Father David Michael Moses encouraged attendees to run up to and gather in front of the stage as he belted out a rock song about living a Christian life. He took a selfie from the stage with the young people cheering behind him and ended his performance by doing “the worm” dance on the stage as the crowd went wild.

Church Hierarchy Persecuted Those Who Exposed Liturgical Abuses - Cardinal Sarah

Cardinal Robert Sarah delivered a series of talks and homilies on liturgy and sacred music in the U.S. from November 21 to 23, as reported by NCRegister.com on January 3. His main points:
- For decades, the Church’s liturgy has "too often been instrumentalized" and has become increasingly politicized.
- Church hierarchy has "persecuted and excluded" those who have rightly called attention to liturgical abuses.
- "The liturgy is not something that you or I can make up or change, even if we think we are experts—or even if we are bishops. We must be humble before the sacred liturgy, as it has been handed down to us through the Church’s tradition."
- It is "even scandalous at times" to sing or play music in churches that is neither liturgical nor sacred.
- Quoting Benedict XVI: "As far as the liturgy is concerned, we cannot say that one song is as good as another."
- Different kinds of music belong in different places. Liturgical music is set apart exclusively for the worship of God.

This appointment is to thank the Liberal Party of Canada that under Trudeau and Carney have stolen 22 billion from the tax payer and give it to the corrupt Zelenskyy regime. Freeland has done nothing good for Canada.

Lexington’s Bishop Stowe on Venezuela: “I lament how the Pope’s words for January 1, the World Day of Prayer for Peace, in which he reiterated the call for an ‘unarmed and disarming peace’ were completely ignored by the US administration in pursuit of its own ill-defined goals and with reckless disregard for human life and rule of law.”

U.S. Attacks on Venezuela

Regarding the surprise attack on Venezuela and the capture of Nicholas Maduro and his wife, I point to the statement of our Holy Father Pope Leo XIV delivered after the Angelus address on 4 January 2026:
The good of the beloved Venezuelan people must prevail over every other consideration. This must lead to the overcoming of violence, and to the pursuit of paths of justice and peace, guaranteeing the sovereignty of the country, ensuring the rule of law enshrined in its Constitution, respecting the human and civil rights of each and every person, and working together to build a peaceful future of cooperation, stability and harmony, with special attention to the poorest who are suffering because of the difficult economic situation. I pray for all this, and I invite you to pray too, entrusting our prayer to the intercession of Our Lady of Coromoto, and to Saints José Gregorio Hernández and Carmen Rendiles.
I also lament how the Pope’s words for January 1, the World Day of Prayer for Peace …

Bishop Sheen on Russia.

Sunday (1/4/25) we actually offered the prayers after Mass for Russia! Leaving two video's. One of Bishop Sheen. The other about Saints and the Three Days of Darkness and Pope Pius Vll.
The Russian People' Presenting some of Bishop Sheen's personally philosophical and prophetic accounts with some great 19th Century writers like Dostoevsky and GK Chesterton. Some of Dostoevsky's 'prophecies' are profoundly revealed in today's enslaved 'free world'
Think about it, only 3% out of over 200,000,000 Russians! And about half of the 3% were brought into Russia! I think if Bishop Sheen were alive today, he would be happy to see Russia as she is. But extremely sad over the rest of the world and how they got away from GOD. Several of our Popes loved Russians very much. They tried to mend the Church's. And tried to work together. But unfortunately things never worked out because it was not her time.

GREGORY X 1271-1276
COUNCIL OF LYONS II 1274
Ecumenical XIV (concerning the union of the Greeks)
460 In faithful and devout profession we declare that the Holy Spirit proceeds eternally from the Father and the Son, not as from two beginnings, but from one beginning, not from two breathings but from one breathing. The most holy Roman Church, the mother and teacher of all the faithful, has up to this time professed, preached, and taught this; this she firmly holds, preaches, declares, and teaches; the unchangeable and true opinion of the orthodox Fathers and Doctors, Latin as well as Greek, holds this. But because some through ignorance of the irresistible aforesaid truth have slipped into various errors, we in our desire to close the way to errors of this kind, with the approval of the sacred Council, condemn and reject (those) who presume …More

HOW CAN CARDINALS MCELROY AND RADCLIFFE PARTICIPATE IN THE CONSISTORY ? : VATICAN COUNCIL II RATIONAL IS TRADITIONAL AND OPPOSED TO LGBT IDEOLOGY

HOW CAN CARDINALS MCELROY AND RADCLIFFE PARTICIPATE IN THE CONSISTORY ? : VATICAN COUNCIL II RATIONAL IS TRADITIONAL AND OPPOSED TO LGBT IDEOLOGY
How can cardinals McElroy and Radcliffe participate in the Consistory when Vatican Council II rational, is ecclesiocentric and supports traditional faith and morals, opposed to LGBT ideology? They must recant or resign. Since they are not doing either there must be an institutional process to check them.
With the discovery that ‘the red is not an exception for the blue’, Vatican Council II is no more ‘a revolution’ or a ‘new revelation’ in the Catholic Church.
The Church has moved forward since 1965.
The interpretation of Vatican Council II by Pope Paul VI to Pope Leo XIV and that of Rahner, Ratzinger, Congar, Lubac, Lehmann, Kung, Guardini and Lefebvre was schismatic. We now have a non schismatic, option, which is rational, traditional and ecclesiocentric.
They used the False Premise which created schism.We avoid the False …More
