One can listen to homilies all day long if they'd like, but when the same priest is giving Communion in the hand to his parishioners that truly is an abomination. He may say, he's following directions, but if he can't see the true harm and disregard to Our Lord in this Sacrament by distributing in the hands then something is wrong. He should do what it takes to to make sure that Jesus is received on the tongue! On this same subject are the words of the well known Fr. John Hardon (whose cause is up for beatification.) He is just one of MANY who will tell you the same thing! Fr. Hardon; Quote: "We were at concelebrated Mass with the Holy Father, and we were absolutely forbidden to give Communion in the hands. Communion in the hand began with the publication of the Dutch Catechism with Nobody's permission except the bishops - in effect, in principle separated themselves from the Holy See. One country after another began to ask for permission, which the Dutch bishops never asked for, permission to receive Communion in the hand. I was asked by the US bishops' conference to write a defense of Communion on the tongue, and I can again talk for hours. In the very, very early Church, Communion was given in the hands. However, as the faith of the Christians weakened in the Real Presence, by the 5th, 6th centuries Communion on the tongue became madatory - remained mandatory until the present century. Behind Communion in the hand - I wish to repeat and make as plain as I can- is a weakening, a conscious, Deliberate weakening of faith in the Real Presence. And the American hierarchy took most- three times, those wanting Communion in the hand kept pushing and pushing. Finally, meantime, I was asked by the vice-president of the Catholic Conference of Bishops to defend Communion on the tongue, which I did. To get enough votes to give Communion in the hand, bishops who were retired, bishops who were dying, were solicited to vote to make sure that the vote would be affirmative in favor of Communion in the hand. WHATEVER YOU CAN DO TO STOP COMMNUION IN THE HAND WILL BE BLESSED BY GOD." Fr. John Hardon,S.J. November 1st, 1997
He calls the other priest "Fr. Jeff". Raised and taught in Catholic Schools, Never were we allowed to refer to a Priest by first name, Never! This calling of a priest by his first name reflects the modern society which has crept into the church the last 50 years. Children as well as adults should have the respect to call a priest by either his Last name after Father or in the case where many of the priests used names as Father Francis Mary; Father Benedict; Father Pio Francis, etc...but Not by his first name as used so casul in the churches today. It only lowers the level of the priest to the people.
"I am convinced that the crisis in the Church that we are experiencing today is to a large extent due to the disintegration of the liturgy, which times has even come to be conceived of 'esti Deus non daretur'. in that it is a matter of indifference whether or not God exists and whether or not He speaks to us and hears us." Joseph Cardinal Ratzinger And there is more of what the Now Holy Father says about the disintegration of the liturgy in the new mass. The truth needs to be told! All one needs to do is go to a different "catholic" church each time and each time it will be a different mass according the the imaginations of the liturgists. Balloon masses, teddy bear masses, Halloween mass with the dressed-up devil giving out communion; yoga masses, clown masses and the list is never-ending. Sure, you say thats not the case in every church; BUT the case in every church which has only the new mass has girls up at he altar, some doing readings with their skirts 10 " above the knees or wearing halter tops, etc... One example was brought up to me by a priest here in our city. He said he was asked to participate in a mass and was made to follow a woman carrying the sacramentary in procession up to the altar; Father said this ladies dress was entirely backless and he had to looked the other way. Afterwards, he brought it to the attention of the pastor, who did Nothing. It just goes on and on. I have attended the novus ordo for Many years until I learned that we had a Latin Mass here, far away of course. And I couldn't tell you how relieved I was to have found it! Up until the time of attending only the Latin Mass my family were told in almost every church to "Get Off Our Knees" when we went to receive Communion. The instant you are noticed wearing a veil to a novus mass you are already marked by the priest and the liberal counterparts. I could write a book, but I'm sure you are aware of these situations. I would like to know if the priest in this video and the others would ever say a Latin Mass. If not, Why Not? The Holy Father has more than once stated that all priests wishing to say the Latin Mass may do so, but Still they are being forbidden by their pastors and many bishops of doing so! Is it all going to end? No, not until Our Lord cleans up the mess we have created. And the Holy Father sure knows its a Big One!
Hopefully, Father will desire to learn the True Mass; The Traditional Latin Mass, where All the Plentitude of graces derive from. The Holy Father has been requesting that priests say the Latin Mass, but out of disobedience they refuse Him. The Pope has time and time again refered to the abuses of the new mass.
A woman without a man is called to remain celibate and pure. A woman with a man is one who would be called by God to be enjoined in the Holy Sacrament of Matrimony and to continue to pro-create. A"fish without a bicycle" is as stupid and ridiculous as is the shirt.
I hope Fr. Cary soon comes to the realization of the truth about allowing girls on the altar. Surely he has enough boys to train, and maybe we won't have to see advertisements, just like the one on a billboard a few blocks from us, seeking men for vocations into the priesthood, (sunglasses and all).
May we all "look in our hearts" to realize that girls have NO business on the altar. Many, many priestly vocations came from ALL-MALE altar servers. Then the decetful modernist liberals went ahead with the sacrilege of communion in the hand, without the knowledge or permission of Pope Paul VI. This is when they started this heinous act and then the pushing of lay people to distribute communion. A holy, God-fearing, God loving priest Knows this and understands such abominations will have to be paid for...in such a way that we the people will have much to suffer for; just like abortion and even those in the Church who support it, just like they supported osama Muhammad Obama.
What community are they? At least they're dressed as women and have their heads covered as St. Paul says to do. They show reverence to the like one will never find in the modern churches.
What about the Sin of homosexuality? Same sex attraction? What about talking about injustice by clergy who refuse us Catholics to receive Our Lord in Communion KNEELING and on the tongue? What about the injustice of those many, many clergy who continue to deny OUR RIGHT to a Latin Mass in our Churches, with the full approval and desire of Pope Benedict XVI? Instead we get Disobedient priests who could care less what the Holy Father has to say. And these priests are suppose to be shepherding God's people? I must have heard "Fr. Jeff's" name a dozen times. Never, Never was a priest referred to by his first name and so casually to where he sounds as though he's being lowered to the level of a lay person. We always called a priest by names such as "Fr. Joseph Mary", or "Fr. Benedict Mary" or by his last name. But why should we expect anything other, when we have priests telling the lay people to walk around the table, "altar" and help themselves to communion. And who always refer the Mass as a "celebration", a "banquet" instead of the SACRIFICE that is. This is one reason why ALL, including the priest should face the altar and God Together. He (God) is why we go to Mass, not for anything else.
Christ dies in the tree (wood). Not on glass or plexiglass as you have on your table. A priest should know better than to have such a thing a thing. This is why the Traditional Latin Mass is what many, many, more people are seeking for.
Christ died on the tree (wood)..not on glass or plexi-glass as shown on your table. Are you unable to obtain traditional church candles for your table? Priest and people all face the altar of God. Good people, this is why it is important to attend the Traditional Latin Mass.
But every woman praying or prophesying with her head not covered disgraceth her head; for it is all one as if she were shaven. For if a woman be not covered, let her be shorn. But, if it be a shame to a woman to be shorn or made bald, let her cover her head. (1Cor.11:5,6) What's the matter, don't they have any altar boys? Sure they do, but the pastors and feminists who run the diocesan churches push the girls into getting up there, and cause these abominations, just like communion in the hand while standing. And UNconsecrated lay people distributing communion. Is it a wonder they have no or very few vocations into the priesthood and religious life?
Let us learn how to pray facing God, including the priest. Put the altar back and both priest and people worship, pray, adore, Together facing Christ. The Traditional Latin Mass....Hold on to Tradition, says St. Paul.
Welcome home ALLEN HUNT, ex-Pastor of the 3 rd largest Methodist Church in the USA! Ex-Pastor and talk radio host, Now Catholic, Allen Hunt tells us of his transition to the Catholic faith...... To make a long story short, I do believe in the real presence of Christ in Communion. That doctrine is very important to me as is the notion that Christ birthed One Church. I have struggled with both of these issues internally for a number of years. The fact that there are 30,000 branches of Christianity in America alone grieves my heart. I believe that continuing division and debate over essentials provides a poor witness to the lost about our Christian unity in the one Lord. My ministry in radio has only served to reinforce that conviction. Finally, I have always struggled with the idea I call "doctrine by democracy." I simply have not been able to get my arms around the concept that we vote on certain things to decide what is true." WELCOME HOME, Allen Hunt
He who hears you (Peter) hears me, and he who rejects you, rejects me, and he who rejects me, rejects him who sent me. (LK 10:16) It could not be clearer: the PROTESTant who rejects the head, rejects Christ himself. Christ establishes one Church with a single head: "And I will give unto thee the keys to the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven." (Matt 16:19) He who abandons the Chair of Peter on which the Church is founded, is falsely persuaded that he is in the Church of Christ.
Well, her reading of Holy Scripture has not led her to the Fullness of the Faith, which we know in the Catholic Church founded by Jesus Christ in 33 A.D. Unfortunately for those who abide in their belief of "sola scriptura" (Bible alone theory) become their own popes, giving themselves authority to interpret scripture. I'd like to ask "sister" Thea, to Prove from the Bible that the Bible is the only rule of faith... Second..Tell us how you know which books belong in the Bible in the first place... May you, "sister" Thea by the grace of God, come to know the fullness of the Truth, which lies in the One and Only Church founded by Christ, passed on to His Apostles. God Bless If your a ...Lutheran..your sect was founded by Martin Luther, an ex-monk of the Catholic Church, in the year 1517. If you belong to the Church of England (Anglican), your sect was founded by King Henry VIII in the year 1534 because the pope could not grant him an annulment from his true and lawful wife, Catherine of Aragon, with the right to re-marry. If your a Presbyterian...your sect was founded by John Knox in Scotland in 1560. If your an Episcopalian...your denomination was an offshoot of the Church of England founded by Samuel Seabury in the American colonies in the 17th century. If your a Congregationalist, ..your sect was originated by Robert Browne in Holland in 1582. If your a Methodist... your denomination was launched by John and Charles Wesley in England in 1744. If your a Mormon of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Joseph Smith Jr., started your religion in Palmyra, New York, in 1829. If your a Baptist...you owe the tenets of your sect to John Smyth, who launched it in Amsterdam in 1605. If your a Christian Scientist....you looked to 1879 as the year in which your religion was born and to Mrs. Mary Baker Eddy as its founder. If you nare a Jehovah's Witness...your religion was invented by Pastor Charles Taze Russell in 1874 and incorporated 1881. For those who are a Traditional Roman Catholic, you know that your Church was founded in the year 33 A.D. by Jesus Christ, the Messias, the Son of God.
