And I recently heard Charles Coulombe relate that when he was younger he had modernist Priests tell him that there was no Latin at the Last Supper, to which he would reply that there was no collection either! Interestingly, at that point, the modernists would change the subject.
The musings and meandering thoughts of a crotchety old man as he observes life in the world and in a small, rural town in South East Nebraska. I hope to help people get to Heaven by sharing prayers, meditations, the lives of the Saints, and news of Church happenings. My Pledge: Nulla dies sine linea ~ Not a day without a line.

Latin in the Mass
I think it was Thomas Molnar in The Counter-Revolution that said only history would tell whether the greater damage was done to Western Civilisation by the loss of the Baltic Republics or by the loss of Latin in the Church. Well, the Baltics are free now and what remains of Latin in the Church is under attack.

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 Leo XIV as the Vicar of Christ, 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.
