The Parisian group wants everybody to be nice to one another. But where is the God of Truth amidst the human niceness?
The Parisian group wants everybody to be nice to one another. But where is the God of Truth amidst the human niceness?
A Parisian group of priests and laity, formed to reconcile Rome and the SSPX, is by-passing doctrine. It cannot achieve its aims.
However perverse our age is, still men know when they are breaking God’s law. Newsociety leaders know they are forsaking God’s Society.
One may suspect that Newsociety headquarters are conspiring with Newrome to achieve an agreement. Priests disagreeing should protest.
Against a fourth condemnation in Germany for “Holocaust denial,” the author has once more appealed. He is grateful for financial help.
A famous prayer of St Theresa of Avila, turning wholly to God, is more and more suitable for our times turning away.
If the Newsociety’s leaders are now failing, one explanation is that they are reverting to the relatively cosy Catholicism of the 1950’s.
A priest friend of the SSPX watches anxiously its present turn towards Newrome. He no longer fully approves, nor yet fully disapproves.
A friend writes that he sees the Newsociety failing to denounce cultural problems. This failure makes it more than vulnerable.
The bishop expelled from the Newsociety is expelled also from Wimbledon. He stays near London and will travel again.

Indeed, it both declares that the Tridentine Mass was never banned, and permits Latin rite priests to use it, whenever and wherever.
By overloading our eyes and ears, said Kafka, the cinema overwhelms our minds. Minds being overwhelmed means that lies triumph.
In his outstanding Encyclical of 100 years ago, Pius X nailed the deadly error of modern times: minds’ independence from their object.
Despite many Catholics’ reservations as to the content and motivation of the Motu Proprio, one may still believe it will do good.
