The Church was wrong to see "no danger in secularised art", writes the German writer Martin Mosebach (Communio, June 2024). According to Mosebach, after the so-called "Enlightenment", artists refused to be instructed on how to paint sacred art and refused to follow the tradition of sacred art. They "embraced a theology that dissolved the Gospel into the abstract-philosophical or secular-political". This art was in keeping with a "Church that was moving ever closer to the areligious zeitgeist". In the meantime, even the cross has become "too intrusive" for many artists [and clerics] and "smells too eerily of blood and sacrifice". Mosebach points to the main problem: the clergy no longer know how to relate to Jesus Christ, the second person of the Trinity. If many bishops and priests do not know how to deal with the tradition of the Church, especially with the will of early Christianity to pass on an authentic image of Jesus, "how can one expect anything else from artists but weakly sketched …More

Major Archbishop Raphael Thattil, 68, of Ernakulam-Angamaly of the Syro-Malabar rite, India, issued an ultimatum (3 July), telling his priests to either accept a liturgical compromise or face excommunication. It is the latest development in a long-running, bitter liturgical dispute that has escalated since the Syro-Malabar Synod decided in 2021 to introduce a single liturgy. The compromise calls for the Liturgy of the Word to be arranged watching the people, while the Eucharistic Sacrifice is celebrated in the face of God. The opponents of the reform want to preside over the whole liturgy watching the people, as has been done illegally for 50 years. They have announced that they will not comply with the ultimatum, reports UcaNews.com. They have even proposed to separate from the archdiocese and establish a new prelature on the same territory, linked to Rome. Lay people who attend a Eucharist from 4 July that is not celebrated according to the compromise are threatened with not fulfilling …More

The Archbishop of Sydney, Monsignor Anthony Fisher, has warned of the gradual erosion of religious freedom in Australia's health care, education and wider society. Speaking to CatholicNewsAgency.com (10 June), Fisher pointed to the instrumentalisation of the legal system to harm the enemy ("lawfare") and "many other examples of legislative or policy moves in our federal and state governments that are hostile to religion". The pace has accelerated markedly in recent years, with the regime even targeting silent prayer in public. "When we look at life issues, in recent years we have seen the complete decriminalisation of abortion, with some states requiring medical professionals with conscientious objections to refer a patient to an abortion provider anyway." Abortion has been given "special protection, with even silent prayer within 500 feet [150 meters] of an abortion clinic now a crime in many states". "At the other end of life, euthanasia has also been legalised, and while doctors are …More

Pilgrimage: A Rediscovery of Catholic Tradition In 1998, a great pilgrimage was organized to Rome to celebrate the 10th anniversary of Ecclesia Dei and of the founding of the Priestly Fraternity of St. Peter. An excellent video documentary was made and put out on VCR (remember that?), but it has never been released in digital format -- until now. Watching it today is a walk down memory lane, as we see Cardinal Ratzinger expounding on his vision for what would become, in 2007, Summorum Pontificum, and watch footage of pontifical Masses when they were still very rare. Bittersweet, yet reminding us of how far we have come amidst great adversity.
