The Forensics of an AmChurch hit on a Good Parish – Our Savior NYC fits
I read the news about Our Savior church in New York city, and I pour over emails I’ve received in the past year and it reminds me of the other times I’ve watched a successful traditional parish destroyed. Let’s not pull any bones here — when you read the letter Fr. Rutler wrote when he was…
Who Needs Isis? AmChurch Meat Grinder Hitting Our Saviour Church NYC?
Another thing I’ve seen over and over for the past twenty years and more is the politely stated, politically correct, and sensitive velvet glove that is worn on the outside of a giant destructive machine known as AmChurch. These guys come in with a smile and speak of pastoral needs, concern for the poor, and…
‘Mass mob’ reveals the Truth about AmChurch
For years, at least 10, more like 20, I’ve been astounded at how few people are at Mass. I’ve lived in Big cities. I’ve seen a few parishes with high attendance, but been scandalized by the degraded carnival-like parade of busybodies to which some of those had devolved. In the middle of all of that, there is something…

The Dormition (Assumption) of Mary from Around the World
It always surprises me when somebody makes the claim that the Pope invents theology and tries to support their claim by pointing to the dogmatic pronouncement of the Assumption (Dormition) of Mary. A brief little tour of cathedrals and icons dedicated to this feast shows that the Dormition is a part of Christianity to the very…
Since When is The Sign of Peace Protected?
Some things I really don’t understand. I’m glad I’m just a lay person that doesn’t have responsibility to safeguard and preserve the traditions of Mother Church in her public worship of God (i.e. the liturgy), like the salt in last Friday’s gospel. I read stories like this about the sign of peace and it blows my mind. Fair…

BAM! Paprocki Drops a Knee on the Head Bob crowd
Thank God! Do you hear the sound? (bam!) That’s the sound of a knee being dropped. In a pastoral letter, Ars celebrandi et adorandi, given to his diocese on June 22, Bishop Paprocki says it: “the proper reverence to the Blessed Sacrament is ‘to bend the knee,’ to genuflect.” THANK GOD! On Bending the Knee Wait! Do you hear the…
