Maybe I'm just cynical, but I wonder how long it will be until 'Patron of exiles' becomes 'Patron of illegal immigrants?
From Fr Z's Blog
According to the Bollettino, today for the ongoing observance of 150th anniversary of proclamation of St. Joseph as Patron of the Universal Church, the Congregation for Divine Worship and Discipline of the Sacraments added SEVEN new invocations to the Litany of St. Joseph. The Letter explains the origins of the titles.
Custos Redemptoris (Guardian of the Redeemer)
Serve Christi (Servant of Christ)
Minister salutis (Minister of salvation)
Fulcimen in difficultatibus (Support in troubles)
Patrone exsulum (Patron of exiles)
Patrone afflictorum (Patron of the afflicted)
Patrone pauperum (Patron of the poor)
So the Litany now runs in Latin… (by the way, I am a little puzzled by their choice of Fúlcimen, since the Latin word is fulcīmen, ĭnis, n., which has a long ī as the penultimate syllable. According to the rules of Latin accentuation, you accent the antepenultimate syllable if the penultimate is short. People make this mistake also with lōrīca. So, I am pretty sure that it ought to be Fulcímen in difficultatibus.

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.
