Brother Henry Passes Away

Brother Henry Mary, who entered the Society of Saint Pius X’s (SSPX) Brothers Novitiate in Winona, Minnesota in 1990, died in his bedroom at Queen of Angels Priory in Dickinson, Texas on August 13, 2023, at 10:15am. At the time of his passing, Brother Henry was receiving around-the-clock home care and supervision from priests and laity located near the priory.
Born Paul Schafer on June 30, 1936, in rural Pewamo, Michigan, the future religious was the eldest of Henry and Alice Schafer’s five children. Growing up on a farm, Brother Henry’s daily chores included tending to livestock, cleaning the chicken coop, making slop, and cutting firewood. At 14, Brother Henry lost three fingers in a wood-chopping accident, prompting his father to remark that Henry would not be able to become a priest.
After graduating high school in 1954, Brother Henry entered the Franciscans in Chasca, Ohio, taking the name Brother Augustine. He left the Franciscans six years later, returning to Michigan for a time …

Cardinal Blase Cupich Presides Over LGBTQ+ Mass In Lakeview: 'God Brought Us Together Here As A Community'

LAKEVIEW — Blocks away from the thumping bass, fishnet bodysuits and drag queens of Boystown’s Pride Fest, some gay Chicagoans celebrated queer identity in a different way Sunday: with an LGBTQ+ Catholic mass led by Cardinal Blase Cupich.
As the bells rang at Our Lady of Mount Carmel Church and the first notes of the organ swelled, gay and lesbian churchgoers held hands, wore rainbow colors and sang hymns so loudly that they drowned out about 20 anti-LGBTQ+ protesters chanting outside the church doors at 708 W. Belmont Ave.
The Archdiocesan Gay and Lesbian Outreach ministry has hosted weekly LGBTQ+ masses for decades. Cupich, one of the most important Catholic leaders in the U.S., presided over the group’s Sunday Mass, its 35th anniversary.
“God has brought us together here as a community. That’s why this community is so important. It’s a reflection of God and of the desire of God to have his people come together and support each other,” Cupich said.
“There’s something freeing about …

Courageous Chicago Priest Challenges Cardinal Cupich's Cancellation of Ad Orientem Worship

Fr. Anthony Bus C.R., pastor of St. Stanislaus Kostka
Letter to Bishop Robert Lombardo on “Ad Orientem” Mass
January 13, 2022
Dear Bishop Lombardo,
Thank you for consulting the Archbishop regarding my request for permission to offer the Holy Sacrifice, “Ad Orientem.” I will comply with his directive that this is forbidden in his Archdiocese.
Even so, the Archbishop does not provide evidence that “Ad Orientem” was abrogated at the Second Vatican Council. As I read Sacrosanctum Concilium and the Roman Missal the implication is “Ad Orientem” was not abolished or prohibited – on the contrary.
Liturgists, prelates, priests, and religious had a glorious time after the Council, taking liberties to “change the face of the Church.” I recall as a young teenager in Florida when a priest from Chicago came to our beautiful parish as its new pastor. He right away “renovated” the church into what looked more Baptist than Catholic. In those days, Baptists had strange notions of the Catholic faith …

Uproar Over Chicago Mass: Did Theatrical Christmas Eve Liturgy Go Too Far? - CatholicCitizens.org

The Mass featured jazz musicians, choreographed dances around the altar, and theatrical lighting effects. Some say the theatrical presentation of the Christmas Eve Mass at St. Sabina Church in Chicago went too far.
By Shannon Mullen/CNA, December 31, 2021
CHICAGO, Ill. — Outraged by a freewheeling Christmas Eve Mass, some Catholics are calling on Cardinal Blase Cupich to crack down on liturgical abuses in Novus Ordo Masses in the Archdiocese of Chicago, rather than imposing severe restrictions on reverential Traditional Latin Masses. The Mass in question featured jazz musicians, choreographed dances around the altar, and theatrical lighting effects.
Father Michael L. Pfleger, a well-known social activist in Chicago, celebrated the Dec. 24 evening Mass, which was live streamed from St. Sabina Church, a predominantly Black parish on the city’s South Side. Father Pfleger has been the pastor there since 1981.
Many of those upset by the Mass say it crossed the line from worship to entertainment …

CONSECRATION
OF THE CITY OF GRANTS, NEW MEXICO
TO THE
SACRED HEART OF JESUS,
IMMACULATE HEART OF MARY,
& ST. JOSEPH
BY THE HONORABLE MAYOR MARTIN HICKS
The Gabriel Garcia Moreno Association is honored and happy to announce that the honorable Mayor Martin Hicks, Mayor of Grants, New Mexico, will renew the Consecration of his city to the Sacred Heart of Jesus, the Immaculate Heart of Mary, and Saint Joseph on October 28, 2021.
One year ago, on October 28, Mayor Hicks consecrated himself, the City of Grants, and all its citizens to Jesus, Mary, and Saint Joseph, amidst the chaos of the Covid-19 restrictions and lockdown. This act – truly heroic under these circumstances – brought the honorable Mayor many trials and persecution for believing in and acting according to Catholic principles and sound conservative political convictions.
Nonetheless, despite these trials – even numerous death threats for his integrity in belief and action – Mayor Hicks insists his city belongs to Jesus, Mary,…
