Beautiful!

There is also the little known Chaplet of St Michael

How to Pray the Chaplet of St. Michael the Archangel

Council of Chalcedon (AD 451)

Canon 15
A woman shall not receive the laying on of hands as a deaconess under forty years of age, and then only after searching examination. And if, after she has had hands laid on her and has continued for a time to minister, she shall despise the grace of God and give herself in marriage, she shall be anathematized and the man united to her.

The RCC had a permanent diaconate at the time of this ecumenical council... it eventually became only transitional(stepping stone to priest) and as such, the female diaconate was supressed, since they cannot be priests. After VII, the permanent diaconate was brought back. Therefore, if female deaconess were to be allowed, it would not be a problem. It would be inline with the ancient tradition of the Church.

Hi HC,

I am not really competing with Verbum because I can't. I am one person, where they are hundreds with a multi-million dollar budget. I was just trying to fill a gap for something free and accessible when i created it. And I wanted to create something that is traditional and Catholic. One thing you will like is that I have a traditional calendar up to the year 2050 with the readings etc. It also comes with nice RSS feeds for video content. It uses the Douay Rheims English Bible, Clementine Latin Vulgate, Greek Textus Receptus, Greek Septuagint. If you install on French or Spanish or Chinese systems you will get traditional versions of those bibles.

Some of the freatures include:

Full text searching of every bible by word and by phrase.
Rev. Fr. Haydock full bible commentary embedded.
Interactive maps and satellite overlays.
Vertical and horizontal text comparison.
Peristent book marking of important verses.
Peristent cross referencing of important verses.
Flexible commenting tools and repository for adding exegesis.
Project workspace for managing research.
A rich library full of Catholic content, including video and chant.
The user interface now supports 9 different languages.
There is also a lot more...
Hope you all enjoy.

I posted this a while back. And it is still free.

Temperance said-

Were not women deacons in the early church???

They were not sacramentaly deacons. They assisted the priest or deacon. For instance, in baptizing adult women to avoid scandal. They were called deaconesses in the same way a wife of a priest(presbyter) was and still is called a presbytera. Neither were ordained.

It has infiltrated the traditional groups as well.

In the video below, the head of the STURP team discounted all those disputing the C14 tests as the lunatic fringe. He tried to show that the samples received did not have any cotton in it from French reweaving as claimed by 'lunatics'. He examined a piece of the sample that remained at his laboratory and was shocked and angered to find out the scientists were given bad samples which were half medieval cotton. The cotton was dyed to look like linen where the nuns repaired a fraying edge which was expertly reweaved in to the main cloth.

godwants,

First off, the Anabaptist sect was started by Nicolas Storch in Germany in the 1500's. Secondly, Waldenses are not the same as Anabaptists, so why conflate the two. Furthermore, the Waldenses movement was founded by a man known simply as Waldo(Waldes) in the 1100's. Your claim that a Catholic bishop of Turin started the movement was fabricated by a man who was desperately trying to find some sort of continuity among protestant belief.... There was no continuity then, and there is no continuity now among the 50,0000 flavors of protestantism in the world today. You can point to only a single document from the 1100's for Waldenses, but nothing before that time , because it does not exist. And there is not a single document showing a community of anabaptists reformers before Nicolas Storch.

I agree with SBFU. This is not real news, and this old dredged up content serves only the Evil One by inflaming hatred in those who watch it. That most Jews regard Jesus like traditional Catholics regard Luther is not a surprise. In other words, as a reprobate and fraud. Yet Catholics are still the "elder brothers" of the Lutherans in faith, because even brothers can sometimes hate each other. This "news brief" is a thinly veiled critique on statements by Cardinal Koch. It would have been better to critique it with something other than an appeal to our worst side.
