By Fr. David Howell, Catholic Herald - In a particular way, priests are fountains of peace for others, since their bodies are borrowed by Jesus for his work. In the second reading, St Paul said, “I bear on my body the marks of Jesus” (Galatians 6:17), a mysterious grace that some have identified as the stigmata. But all priests experience something similar whenever they celebrate the sacraments: their bodies become instruments of Jesus’ body... So let’s “pray earnestly to the Lord of the harvest to send out labourers into his harvest” (Luke 10:2), for each new priest is a new channel of the blood of Christ.

By Diane Montagna, Substack - Previously undisclosed documents raise serious questions about the stated rationale for Pope Francis’ 2021 decree restricting the Traditional Latin Mass.... The moral justification of Traditionis Custodes was always weak given the positive fruits that have come from the traditional Roman rite, its growing popularity, especially among the young, its influence on the family as the “domestic church,” and its ability to attract vocations. This new discovery of the CDF’s overall assessment of its consultation of bishops concerning Summorum Pontificum serves to cast further doubts on the foundation and credibility of Traditionis Custodes.
