Tradition Refuses To Submit To The Arrogant Oligarchy

Tradition refuses to submit to the small and arrogant oligarchy of those who merely happen to be walking about. ― G.K. Chesterton

Pope Benedict Is Trying To Revitalize Our Catholic Identity As A Bulwark Against The Dictatorship Of Relativism

After the devastation in WWII, the USA helped to rebuild Europe in order to foster trade and support a bulwark against Communism. In the wake of the devastation caused by a hermeneutic of discontinuity after the Second Vatican Council, Pope Benedict is trying to revitalize our Catholic identity as a bulwark against the dictatorship of relativism. - Fr. Z

Arbitrary Deformations of The Liturgy Caused Deep Pain

Many people who clearly accepted the binding character of the Second Vatican Council, and were faithful to the Pope and the Bishops, nonetheless also desired to recover the form of the sacred liturgy that was dear to them. This occurred above all because in many places celebrations were not faithful to the prescriptions of the new Missal, but the latter actually was understood as authorizing or even requiring creativity, which frequently led to deformations of the liturgy which were hard to bear. I am speaking from experience, since I too lived through that period with all its hopes and its confusion. And I have seen how arbitrary deformations of the liturgy caused deep pain to individuals totally rooted in the faith of the Church. - Pope Benedict XVI, letter to present the Motu Proprio

Wrong is Always Wrong, Right is Always Right

Wrong is wrong even if everyone else is doing it, and right is right even if no one is doing it. - Saint Augustine

Humbling Herself Before the Lord Where He is Present in the Blessed Sacrament

A veil is not a sign that a woman is 'holier than thou'. It is a sign that she is humbling herself before the Lord where He is present in the Blessed Sacrament. - "The chapel veil, revisited", by Chris & Co.

The Church Stands and Falls With the Liturgy

The Church stands and falls with the Liturgy. For that reason, the true celebration of the Sacred Liturgy is the center of any renewal of the Church whatsoever. - Pope Benedict XVI

No Pope Has Ever Spoken in Favor of Communion in The Hand

If you support Communion in the hand, you are in opposition to at least the personal opinion of *every single Pope* that's gone on record in history on this issue. No Pope has ever spoken *in favor* of Communion in the hand, and it seems that the two longest-reigning post-Conciliar popes both had very strong opinions indeed against it. - The Catholic Thinker
