Livin' on the Fringe

Amy Welborn, not usually a part of the More Traditionalist Than Thou Dept., suggests breviary.net to those who like to say the Office "in traditional language". Unfortunately, the site also comes with some untraditional resistance to papal authority. The so-called Confraternity behind the site rejects both Pope Paul VI's and Pope Pius XII's liturgical reforms and all the saints' days added after Pius XII (see para. 4.3 and 4.4).

That puts them in an odd position: they agree that Pope Pius had the authority to add saints' days to the calendar, but they reject his authority to move feasts or otherwise modify the rites. Maybe this is a variation on RadTrad thinking that I haven't seen before.

What? Who?

On life and living in communion with the Catholic Church.
