From Vox Cantoris
The Feast of the Holy Name of Jesus usually celebrated on the Sunday after the Octave of Christmas was transferred to yesterday, January 2, as the Octave was on Sunday. I am referring of course to the right and proper calendar. In the modernist calendar, it is today, January 3.
In the Readings of the First Nocturn of Matins, we read from the Book of Acts beginning at Chapter 3 and the discourse of Peter and John and the lame man as they go up to the Temple. The Third Reading is damning to our modern churchmen, most specifically, St. Peter's very successor.
8 Then Peter, filled with the Holy Ghost, said to them: Ye princes of the people, and ancients, hear: 9 If we this day are examined concerning the good deed done to the infirm man, by what means he hath been made whole: 10 Be it known to you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you crucified, whom God hath raised from the dead, even by him this man standeth here before you whole. 11 This is the stone which was rejected by you the builders, which is become the head of the corner. 12 Neither is there salvation in any other. For there is no other name under heaven given to men, whereby we must be saved.
We are told by St. Luke, the author of Acts, that peter was "filled with the Holy Ghost." Therefore, what followed from Peter's mouth were not just words of Peter but of God Himself as it was the Holy Spirit speaking through Peter.
Let us read it again.
"This (Jesus) is the stone which was rejected by you the builders, which is become the head of the corner.Neither is there salvation in any other. For there is no other name under heaven given to men, whereby we must be saved."
Our current Bishop of Rome has said that proselytism is "solemn nonsense" and a "sin."
I think St. Peter might disagree with Pope Bergoglio.

Comments are subject to deletion if they are not germane. I have no problem with a bit of colourful language, but blasphemy or depraved profanity will not be allowed. Attacks on the Catholic Faith will not be tolerated. Comments will be deleted that are republican (Yanks! Note the lower case 'r'!), attacks on the legitimacy of Pope Francis as the Vicar of Christ (I know he's a material heretic and a Protector of Perverts, and I definitely want him gone yesterday! However, he is Pope, and I pray for him every day.), the legitimacy of the House of Windsor or of the claims of the Elder Line of the House of France, or attacks on the legitimacy of any of the currently ruling Houses of Europe.
