St. John Before the Latin Gate - May 6 venite. May 6 Saint John before the Latin Gate (95 A.D.) In the year 95, Saint John the Evangelist, the only surviving Apostle, who was governing all the churches of Asia Minor (present-day Turkey), was apprehended at Ephesus and sent in chains to Rome. The Emperor Domitian did not relent at the sight of the venerable old man, but condemned him to be cast into a cauldron of boiling oil. The martyr doubtless heard, with great joy, this barbarous sentence; the most cruel torments seemed to him light and agreeable because he hoped they would unite him forever to his divine Master and Saviour. But God accepted his will and crowned his desire; He conferred on him the honor and merit of martyrdom while suspending the operation of the fire, just as He had formerly preserved the three children from injury in the Babylonian furnace. The seething oil was changed for him into an invigorating bath, and the Saint came out more refreshed than when he had entered …More

Rev. John Hunwicke, an Oxford scholar, linguist, and former Anglican parson who became a Catholic priest in 2012 for the Ordinariate of Our Lady of Walsingham, died on April 30, after a battle with pancreatic cancer. Since 2022, his ill health and heart made it difficult for him to walk and breathe. He was a highly learned, truly listening and kind man who showed deep respect even for his theological enemies. In his spare time, he could be found reading the classics and Latin and Greek poetry. For thirty years, he taught Latin and Greek. He described himself as stern teacher but he was also humorous and entertaining. Rev. Hunwicke used his erudition to defend the Roman Rite. Before the failed Novus Ordo was introduced, Hunwicke learned the Roman Rite when he still was an Anglican seminarian at St Stephen's House in Oxford. Joseph Shaw, president of the English Latin Mass Society, writes in an obituary that Hunwicke, then an Anglican parson, joined the society as a friend, since only …More

An altar server at San Dominic Savio Parish, Archdiocese of Bogotá, Colombia, observed in April during Communion that a woman was taking the host with her hands, bringing it back to the pews and sharing it with her pet which was with her in the church. At least the dog didn't take the communion with his paw. In his sermon on 28 April (video below), the parish priest, Reverend Laureano Barón, called it a "sacrilege" and urged the anonymous woman to go to confession with the bishop, who alone can absolve this "grave" sin in confession. Rev. Barón has nothing against it when the faithful take communion with their hand, but they should put it into their mouth in front of the priest. He also mentioned a mother who took a piece of her host and gave it to her little boy, who had asked for it "to know what it tastes like". Strangely, the priest is surprised: "It seems that we do not understand that we are facing the greatest miracle in the world". But then, Barón himself distributes communion …More

In the document whereby the hapless Paul VI permitted Communion in the hand, he nevertheless urged the faithful to continue the ancient tradition of Communion on the tongue. Another consideration is the fact that Paul's refusal to discipline those bishops and priests who were promoting Communion in the hand, despite this deviation being in disobedience to the laws of the Church, led to his being forced to give permission for the practice. And as Aquinas teaches: nothing. born in disobedience to the Church will bear fruit.

Robin Ward, an Anglican author, lay priest and Rector of St Stephen's House, Oxford, published on Twitter.com (2 May) a picture of a woman dressed as a "deacon" distributing communion at an Orthodox service in Zimbabwe. The church, whose location is unclear, is said to belong to the tiny Greek Orthodox Patriarchate of Alexandria and All Africa under Greek-born Theodore II (Nikolaos Khoreftakis), who also likes to call himself "Pope". The Holy Synod of the Patriarchate of Alexandria introduced deaconesses in November 2016 under the pretext of reviving an "ancient practice" that in reality never existed. Much less is it an "ancient practice" for a deacon, not even a validly ordained one, to distribute Holy Communion. The Orthodox are self-governing churches. So everyone does what they want. This is why many Orthodox groups are at odds with each other. #newsLzbtkbbuqz

Wasn’t it Title IX that forced all of the all male colleges to go coed? That has not been to the general benefit of the Church, or society in general. It is unfortunate (but fitting) that the all female colleges are being destroyed by the expansion of Title IX to include men who pretend to be women, though many of these schools were eager to get on the trans bandwagon.

Catholic hypocrisy continues on a large scale. A large number of Catholics are upset because a woman shared a fragment of the Eucharist with her pet, according to Father Laureano Barón, parish priest of Santo Domingo Savio in Bogata. The same Catholics remain indifferent regarding their daily trampling over Jesus when they drop fragments of the Holy Eucharist on the floor. In their minds, it is okay to disrespectfully walk over Jesus but it is shameful to feed Jesus to a dog. A sacrilege is a sacrilege. A mortal sin is a mortal sin. No one but the priest should be allowed to touch the Holy Eucharist with their hands. Over the centuries, different Popes have threatened the faithful with excommunication for touching the Holy Eucharist with their hands. The number of Catholics who have not not been excommunicated can be counted on one's hand. Few Catholics make it to Heaven. The path to Heaven is indeed very narrow.
