By Regis Martin, Crisis Magazine - I f this were day one in a course on the Theology of Christ, the first order of business would be to issue the following disclaimer, which is that not even the least glimpse into the mystery of Jesus is possible without first answering one very big question.

By Phil Lawler, Catholic Culture - With a directive that bans the celebration of the Traditional Latin Mass (TLM) in his parishes, and the threat of more detailed instructions barring even modest incorporation of traditional practices, Bishop Michael Martin of Charlotte, North Carolina, threatens to re-ignite the bitter “liturgy wars” that divided the Catholic Church in the 1960s and 1970s. Ironically, the bishop explains his policy proposals as a means of fostering greater unity among the faithful... Last week Bishop Martin announced that he would prohibit the use of the traditional liturgy in parish churches to “promote the concord and unity of the Church.”
