I. General Announcements (Liturgical Season 2024):
COMMENTARY/THE LATEST:
7/20/2024: Catholic Family News (topic: who is J.D. Vance?)
Is JD Vance really a Catholic? It is a SIN to promote the Abortion Pill (Mifepristone) etc.

7/7/24: The latest news (from Michael Matt at the Remnant) of the continued suppression of the TLM is now being "back-pedaled" by the Vatican per the French newspaper "La Croix International" as quoted "Several Vatican sources denied the rumors, which have been circulating since mid-June, that the Dicastery for Divine Worship and the Discipline of the Sacrament is preparing a document banning the celebration of Mass according to the pre-Vatican II rite." refer to this video for details... Joe Biden & Pope Francis . Also see, French Catholic Magazine: Contrary to rumors...
So the previous information may be "on hold" for now. What information? the article below on 6/25/2024 by Diane Montagna (through Remnant Newspaper). So the previously specified date of July 16, 2024 is called off. The writers at rorate-caeli's blogspot were the first to sound the alarm on 6/17/24, then Diane Montagna's article in the Remnant newspaper 6/25/24.

Traditional Catholics open locked doors of church with battering ram so they can have Latin Mass in France, 1987. For context, this Church was bricked up by the local ordinary to prevent the SSPX priest from saying the Vetus Ordo for the glory of God. All this while hundreds sing "Christus Vincit, Christus regnat, Christus imperat". Traditional Catholics in France 1987

-Fr. Iannuzzi responds to Fr. Alar's Irresponsible Comments
**In Summary and my personal opinion: It is not recommended 🚯. There are many reasons in my mind why The Divine Will is problematic. But since the Church has taught that "Private Revelation is not necessary for Sanctification....I will leave it as that. And let the Church eventually decide.

-THE SACRAMENTS:
Q. What does the Church say about "Anointing of the Sick"? It is not a Sacrament well taught to the laity as it is typically administered by the Catholic Priest. However, here are some important data on the subject....
The Sacrament of Extreme Unction
Q. What is the "Apostolic Pardon"? It forgives temporal punishment due to sins (not the sins themselves), for anything for which we have not done adequate penance in this life. It is often given after the conferral of the Sacrament of Penance, the Anointing of the Sick and Viaticum.
Q. But what if a Priest is not available for a Dying person, can they still receive an "Apostolic Pardon"? Yes or No?
A. Patrick Madrid says the pardon must be done by a priest...Here's what you should know about the Apostolic Pardon for the Dying

Is Mary as Co-Redemptrix, a dogma? Or has this terminology fallen off the radar of liturgical time?
MARY AS CO-REDEMPTRIX: here is an excellent article on the topic Mary is Co-Redemptrix from Traditional Catechism. Note: it is a contentious topic as modernist Catholics seem to have lost this important "deposit of faith" teaching.
-My opinion...Yes, I believe that Mother Mary is the Co-Redemptrix...but that the word co-redemptrix needs defining as Mary is in "co-operation" uniquely with our Redeemer, Jesus Christ. An excerpt from Catholic Answers: But the word “co,” or the prefix “co-” in English can imply equality, and so that’s why it sounds that way. The prefix “co-” comes from the Latin preposition cum, and cum does not necessarily mean “equal.” It can just mean “with,” and that’s the sense that’s in play when Mary is under discussion with respect to the Redeemer. So she’s not equal to Jesus, but she is a woman who cooperates with the Redeemer. She cooperates with God’s plan and her son’s role in it.
Another opinion from Jimmy Akins: Is Mary Co-Redemptrix? Does the Church teach Mary as Co-Redemptrix or Fr. Chris Alar's Mary: Mother of God, Co-Redemptrix, Co-Mediatrix? discusses the meaning of the prefix "co-" as meaning "equal" or "with". But the word "co-" derives from "cum" in Latin and means "with, together or supporting". Protestants like to claim that we mean "equal". There is a reason that Catholic's use Latin as the language of the Church. If you mean "with", then definitely yes...that is exactly what we mean by "Co-Redemptrix. Mary gets us to Jesus, who is the real "Redemptor". The same thing applies to "Co-Mediatrix"....☝👍😇
