Liturgy
Yesterday the Church commemorated Saint Norbert. Every priest and bishop was supposed to read about his life in the breviary. One sentence deserves to be mentioned – quote: “When he became an archbishop he tried to reform the clergy of his diocese in spite of the turmoil and commotion of the people.” In other words: Reform is nothing for wimps.
Vatican
The Vatican Secretary of State, Cardinal Tarcisio Betone, has handed in his resignation last week according to Italian newspapers. However, this report has not been verified and it could be that Bertone will not leave his position this soon. He is scheduled to accompany the pope for the World Youth Day in Rio de Janeiro.
Germany
The ultra liberal German Cardinal Karl Lehmann has polemicized against the traditional Latin Mass. In a report given to a German newspaper he said – quote: “I have the impression that the whole enthusiasm for Latin is very much connected with prestige and a false pretence of an alleged cultural elite.” He called the liturgical reform after the Second Vatican Council a – quote - piece of gold. Lehmann is among those 6 German bishops who have pushed for the distribution of the morning-after pill in German Catholic hospitals not only to rape victims as they claimed in the beginning but to any woman who asks for it for whatever reason. The Vatican has strongly condemned this pill because of its abortive effect.
Internet
Catholics are much more likely than Protestants to say that people with other beliefs can go to heaven – writes the liberal journalist and blogger Pat Cunningham. Only 9% of Catholics say that non-Catholics cannot go to heaven, compared to 33% of Protestants who think that non-Protestants cannot go to heaven. Among Christians who describe themselves as born again, 37% say that heaven is shut to people who do not belong to their group.

I find it interesting that Liberal Catholics (and I am one, I think) don't want the Latin Mass (Tridentine Mass), but I love the Latin mass. It was the mass during my young formation, i.e. communion, confirmation. I cannot see what the form of the mass has to do with Liberal and Traditional, or Conservative. Maybe that is why I sometimes get funny looks. Well, from one old Liberal, Social Justice …More

It was the mass during my young formation, i.e. communion, confirmation. I cannot see what the form of the mass has to do with Liberal and Traditional, or Conservative. Maybe that is why I sometimes get funny looks. Well, from one old Liberal, Social Justice Catholic I love the Latin Mass. Lets not have a triumph of form over content. What would Jesus say? Peace and Joy or as we sometimes say, Pax et Bonum The Catholic Church has it all, we should feel free to use it. I do. Gloria Burns Enoch, Ofs
