Why Every Catholic Is a Traditional Catholic (Or Should Be), by Fr. John A. Perricone

By Fr. John A. Perricone, Crisis Magazine - ’Tis a pity when a word dies.

Lent: February 26th Including Today’s Saint: St. Porphyrius, Bishop (RM) (February 26th)

Catholic Culture - The Roman Martyrology commemorates St. Porphyrius (d. 420), a wealthy Greek who became a hermit first in the desert of Skete in Egypt and then in Palestine on the banks of the Jordan. Much against his will he was raised to the see of Gaza, which he ruled with extraordinary energy, ability and success. He almost completely uprooted the remnants of paganism in his diocese. His biography written by his deacon Mark is one of the most valuable historical sources of the fifth century.
