Extraordinary

Pew-sitter Kelly Clark notices how impatient we can be about receiving Holy Communion, but figures that catering to this impatience by adding Extraordinary Ministers doesn't really help. Comments continue over at Dom's.

My seminarian friend Bro. Matt tells a story: he went to a weekday Mass once and found that he and two ladies were the whole congregation. The two were apparently parish regulars used to serving as EMEs, so at the usual time they went forward to the sanctuary, ostensibly to assist Father. The two ladies gave the Sacrament to each other, and the priest gave Holy Communion to Matt. He says in that Mass he was the Extraordinary Recipient of the Eucharist.

Another promising new church

Or rather, a new chapel, for a college devoted to the transmission of Western and Christian culture.

Good Heavens: a baldachino!

The press can't find out what denomination Deacon Steven Anderson served before as a minister, 'cause he's not doing interviews yet.

Normally that detail is the kind of thing one could ferret out with the help of Google, but searching for a common name like "Rev. Steven Anderson" doesn't narrow things down much. Let's guess: was he Lutheran, perhaps?

Update: Fr. Johansen identifies the mystery denomination in the comments.

Cdl. Arinze's exhortation to fidelity at Georgetown last week brought forth in response this liberal cat-scratch:

Ed Ingebretsen, a professor of English at Georgetown and a priest in the American Catholic Church, said on Wednesday that Cardinal Arinze's remarks were in line with Catholic doctrine, but nonetheless seemed out of place at the commencement ceremony.

"These things are exactly what he's paid to say," Professor Ingebretsen said. "[But] it's a graduation; why he decided to do the pro-family thing no one seems to know."

Professor Ingebretsen said he was compelled, as a writer, to post a short apology on the email subscription list "on behalf of Catholics" for Cardinal Arinze's "insensitive remarks", which he termed "un-Christian".

Is it sensitive to insinuate that the Cardinal teaches Catholic doctrine because he's paid to do so? (I didn't think so either.)

Now, an exercise for the reader: which is in a better position to speak "on behalf of Catholics": (a) a Cardinal of the Roman Church; or (b) the ex-Jesuit minister of some gay-oriented mini-sect? It's a toughie, I know.

In February '02, St. Mary's Catholic Community in Rockledge, FL, dedicated its new church building, the work of "kitsch" designer Michael Graves.
It got a fair amount of attention at the time, and deservedly so.
Since then, more new photos have been added to the parish website, including this one.

It looks like they've struck oil under the labyrinth!

But in spite of the parish slogan, to find a building that is "something beautiful for God", you'll have to look at their first parish church, dating to 1917.

Incidentally, here's something Graves did for the Archdiocese of Newark.

The Mass at St. Mary Major

| 1 Comment

ZENIT reports on Cardinal Castrillon's celebration of the old form of Mass at the Basilica of St. Mary Major. Here's the musical program: the plainchant was to be sung by the Benedictine monks of San Anselmo Abbey in Rome, and the polyphony by the Schola Sainte-Cécile from Paris.

"The old Roman rite preserves its right of citizenship in the Church and cannot be considered extinguished," Cardinal Castrillón said Saturday during the sermon, the only part of the Mass not in Latin....

What "unites the variety of rites is the same faith in the eucharistic mystery," the cardinal said. The St. Pius V rite was used before the liturgical reform introduced by the Second Vatican Council.

The celebrant read a message from Cardinal Angelo Sodano, Vatican Secretary of State, transmitting the Pope's blessing to those present.

The solemn celebration was attended by five cardinals: Bernard Law, archbishop emeritus of Boston; and William Baum, major penitentiary emeritus; Jorge Arturo Medina Estévez, prefect emeritus of the Congregation for Divine Worship and the Sacraments; Alfons Maria Stickler, archivist and librarian emeritus of the Holy Roman Church; and Armand Gaetan Razafindratandra, archbishop emeritus of Antananarivo, Madagascar.

Also present was Archbishop Julián Herranz, president of the Pontifical Council for the Interpretation of Legislative Texts.

Cardinal Law's interest in the rite is curious to those of us who assist at the old Mass in Boston, as he never attended that service in twelve years.

Bp. Lennon ordained nine new priests today at the Cathedral of the Holy Cross; it's a bigger crop than some recent years have seen, but as Fr. Wilson points out, St. John's Seminary so far has no entering students for the fall term.

Since John will be interested, here's a list of the music in the 2 1/2-hour service:

Procession: Festival Canticle ("This is the feast of victory")
Kyrie XVI with English tropes; simple ending.
Melodic Gloria by J. Chepponis
Psalm 89, setting by R. Twynham: too elaborate for ordinary parish use, but the text is suited for ordinations.
Gospel Acclamation by the late great Theodore Marier, from his Hymns, Psalms, and Spiritual Canticles

Litany of the Saints: just the usual English version.
It was interesting to hear the optional names in the list presumably added at the request of the ordinandi: St. Pio, St. Escriva, Bl. Andre Bessette, St. Faustina, St. John Vianney!

Laying on of Hands: Veni Sancte Spiritus, in English with Latin refrain ("Veni Sancte Spiritus/da perenne gaudium"), arranged by Leo Abbott.
Investiture: Veni Creator Spiritus, plainchant
Anointing of Hands: Psalm 110 ("You are a priest forever"), setting by John Schiavone
Pax: Psalm 100 ("God is our shepherd, and we the flock"), setting by Howard Hughes, S.M.

Preparation of Gifts: a choir anthem, O How Amiable by R. Vaughan Williams
Sanctus/Memorial/Amen from Mass for the City, R. Proulx
Lamb of God: Holy Cross Mass, Isele

Communion:
I Am The Good Shepherd, Hytrek
There Is No Greater Love, Joncas
Magnificat, Chepponis

Recessional: Crucifer ("Lift high the cross")

Just about all of it was good dignified sacred music: the only piece I'd cavil at was the Joncas number ("There is no greater love, says the Lord, than to lay down your life for a friend"). It's a little too syrupy and theatrical for my taste, so I skipped singing it, as did most of the congregation; but in the front pews the hundred or so priests in attendance sang the refrain pretty well. It was actually kind of sweet to hear it as one approached the minister for the sacrament.

L'espresso

St. Mary Major’s is the only of the great Roman basilicas left that celebrates the liturgy according to the classical tradition of Gregorian chant and polyphony.

Fact: Two years ago, when another Roman basilica wanted to accompany its Holy Week liturgies with this form of music, it had to turn to Germany and the excellent singers of the “Singer Pur” choir, invited by Brandmüller.

Another, more striking fact: the metamorphosis imposed on the Cappella Sistina, the choir that accompanies papal liturgies.

The coup de grace came in 1997 with the firing of the Sistina’s director, Maestro Domenico Bartolucci, an extraordinary interpreter of the great Roman tradition of sacred music. Since then, the papal rites – music included – have as their unchallenged director Bishop Piero Marini, the maestro of pontifical liturgical celebrations.

The despair is closing in on me again: where's my Prozac?

Today on the CWN blog, Fr. Wilson referred us to the Dallas diocesan paper, whose editor, with a shaky finger, accuses the bishop's critics of "sliding ethics". It's an embarrassing rant, and the awkward writing makes you wonder what qualifications said editor has for his post:

Other TV stations are likely to take their cue from Belo’s operations unless they have a rare independently-minded [sic] manager....So much has changed corporately [sic]. The New York Times owns the Boston Globe...We could tell all that we know, but our Christian ethics guides us [sic] to be charitable.
Call me narrowly-minded, but I like my English to be written in English.

Y'know, progressive types are fond of reminding us how well educated the Catholic laity is these days; so why does the diocese of Dallas insult the faithful with such schlock?

Mike Wendland (Detroit Free Press):

Now there is online grieving and virtual visitation for deceased loved ones.

Across metro Detroit and the nation, funeral homes are building tribute Web sites and putting up online guest books to share memories and honor the dead.

It's a growing trend. And despite some industry concerns over privacy, some homes are using live webcams in the visitation room and streaming video of funeral services...

And an AP article today reports on one firm in this field:
The company captures funerals with a digital camera and broadcasts them live for seven funeral homes in South Dakota.

Its clients include funeral director Daryl Isburg, of Hot Springs, who heard about Chapelview during a conference and decided to give it a try.

Isburg said families often ask for a tape of the service to send to loved ones who couldn't be there. Relatives and friends who want to watch it online will be given a password.

Not everyone is sold on the idea.

"So will it come to: 'Hey, Mom's funeral got 40,000 hits?"' asked Tim Wingen, managing partner of Miller Funeral Home in Sioux Falls.

He's Funk-O-Tronic!


The Pope John Paul II comic book below isn't the only one with a religious motif.

This Saint Michael comic (2002) from the Battle Pope series (by Funk-O-Tron Comics, no less!) looks pretty cool too. Was he modeled after Tommy Franks? Or is there some Colin Powell in that squint?

Mark Shea reports that some atheist out there recently urged his co-(anti)religionists to Be Kind To Believers by finding something nice to say about their blogs. One of them gave it a try, delivering a little love-bombing to CL and two other sites. But he just didn't feel right about it.

Agitprop in Altoona?

Catholics used to opening their web browsers and reading the Outrage Of The Day were greeted with this manifesto today, purporting to be the work of gay priests in the Altoona diocese. The document criticizes Bishop Adamec for kowtowing to the demands of "conservative" Catholics, ordaining men of "rigid" views as priests, and failing to defend the interests of priests accused of sexual abuse. Now, this is strange, because the "conservative Catholic" activists in that diocese, including the folks at the "Diocese Report" web site, have been making more or less the opposite complaints against the bishop for some time.

It looks like the folks at DR believe it's for real, and even Dom of CWN took it at face value for a while, but the text doesn't look legit to me. The writing's bad and it doesn't use the terminology you'd expect to find. It reads like some critic's not-too-sharp idea of "this is how the liberals really think".

So be on guard. My guess is that the statement is disinformation from some "conservative-Catholic" activist, somewhere between a joke and a smear. More at Dom's.

"The Inclusive Community"

One of the points of concern mentioned in Cardinal Maida's letter below is this:

Most distressing however, is the fact that Dr. Padovano continues to celebrate Mass publicly at "The Inclusive Community" as "Pastor" in Nutley, NJ, although he was laicized in 1974 and married soon afterwards.
In case you've never heard of it before -- I hadn't -- "The Inclusive Community" is a congregation of the United Church of Christ, whose directory lists Dr. Padovano as a pastor.
In 1986, an ordained UCC pastor, a woman whom I had taught at Ramapo College of New Jersey, invited me to share with her the co-pastorate of First Congregational Church in Passaic, New Jersey. A year-long dialogue had led the Protestant community there to invite a Catholic priest to lead them, together with the Protestant pastor. The Community would re-name itself The Inclusive Community and it would invite Catholics and Protestants to join it as Catholics and Protestants. The Catholic priest would be evaluated by a search committee, the Church Council and, finally, by the Congregation. If the candidate was approved by these three bodies, he would be appointed by the Congregation as the Catholic Pastor of The Inclusive Community. This process was completed after a vote of the Congregation on November 2, 1986.
So not only does he celebrate Mass unlawfully, he appears to have formally assumed a pastorate in a Protestant denomination, which would be an act of schism, an offense that incurs automatic (latae sententiae) excommunication. (Correct me, Pete, if I'm going too far.) That the professor continues to describe himself as Catholic and ministers to Catholic members of The Inclusive Community probably doesn't diminish the seriousness of that.

This Community meets in the chapel of a regular UCC congregation in Nutley, New Jersey -- and surely there couldn't be a more fitting place name. Dr. Padovano himself, on the Catholic Light evaluation scale, ranks as a solid 8, earning the rating Nutrageous.

Help wanted!

This came in the mail today:

Want to join the missions without leaving home: by offering your creative skills to evangelize and catechize?

Founded in 1998 by the Legionaries of Christ, Catholic World Mission seeks to effect long-term transformation of poverty of body, mind and spirit by bringing emergency aid, education, the Gospel, and spiritual and human support to those most in need. Our aim: To Conquer Poverty with the Richness of Our Catholic Faith.

Catholic World Mission supports over 10,000 poor children in 18 Mano Amiga ("Helping Hand") schools throughout Latin America, as well as over 1,000 Lay Missionaries working full-time in more than 600 parishes and 40 dioceses in Latin America, bringing the Faith to over one million people, and sends medical missions and aid to parishes serving the poorest of the poor.

Will you help us to help our poor brothers and sisters in Christ?

Here's what you can do:
* Catholic World Mission has launched a series of bi-lingual children's coloring books telling the lives of the saints and generating enthusiasm to support their mission work. The first two books have already shipped over 25,000 copies and the next three books will be released in time for Christmas.
* These books are also made into radio dramas called "Glory Stories," which have already been played on Catholic radio stations coast-to-coast.

These books and radio dramas are a series--each one teaching a Truth of the Faith, a Catholic virtue, and energizing children (and their parents) to spread the Faith in their families, parishes, and through Catholic World Mission--among the destitute throughout the world. Funds raised through donations for these items goes to support our mission work, building schools, supporting local priests and bishops, and sending medical missions wherever they are needed.

Are you a writer? Would you volunteer to write a 1,000 word children's coloring book, capturing a child's imagination with the excitement of the saints?

Are you an artist? Could you create 30 line drawings to illustrate a coloring book, illuminating the wonder of the Gospel in action?

Are you a recording artist? Would you lend your voice or musical talents for a "Glory Story" to bring beauty and enchantment to young listeners?

What a great project to have your talent and name linked with--and you'll get full credit for your creativity with your picture and biography inside every product you help us produce.

In America, they would have made it so tacky.

Postscript: Come to think of it, haven't we all wanted to blow up a parish from time to time?

I wonder if 30 people got up yesterday and said, "Hey, I think I'll commit de facto schism over at the Elks' Lodge." A sympathetic article has this:

[The Rev. Ronald] Ingalls' wife, Sheila, said she didn't want the service to be too conventional.

"I wanted it to be special," said Sheila Ingalls, manager of online banking at Middlesex Savings Bank in Natick.

A boom box, taking the organist's place, played tapes with songs for everyone to sing including, "Come As You Are," which expressed the sentiment of the congregation.

Not so shocking

Yesterday the Globe teased some results of its recent poll of Catholics, saying that 39% would support an American Catholic church independent of the Vatican. (Never mind that 52% would oppose this.) But today the details show who's behind those numbers. People who attend Mass less than monthly -- non-practicing Catholics -- support such a suggestion (no surprise there). People to whom the faith is "very important" reject it (62% vs. 26%). So to all of you people who never attend Mass: have a nice day.

Pope John Paul II at 83

Says Gregory Wolfe, editor of Image Journal, an arts and religion quarterly: "In the Catholic tradition, faith is about making the invisible present. Catholicism celebrates the physicality of the sacraments — Christ's body and blood in the bread and wine. We witness through our bodies to others.

"What we see when we see the pope is the way time reveals what lies beneath the externals. Our existence is a kind of testing and refining, a purifying that shows what we are really made of," Wolfe says.

The ninth circle of spam

Where in Hell are you? According to the "Dante's Inferno" Test, I'll be in Purgatory. Hooray!

Call me judgmental, but it looks like the author of the following badly-spelled spam is buckin' for a permanent spot Down There.

Subject: Has Your Life Been Ruined by Evil?

Have you really, really, really been hurt to the point where your live is a living hell?

~ Has somebody or something drastically altered your life? ~
~ Would you give anything to take back your stolen life? ~
~ What if there was a way to undo all done to you for $100,000? ~

What I am referring to is something which is well covered up from the general public! I have access to the way, and need just one single person to work with.

Who I pick will be determined on the severity of their situation. This is your one and only chance to live life over, and take control over what was stolen from you. Mentally stable open minded individuals a must! Someone close to the Boston area is preferred.

If you want your life back and would like for me to consider you, email a brief description of your situation to me at powercrystals@firemail.de .

But which circle is he competing for? He could qualify under greed and under treachery.

More market research needed

As everybody has noticed, that poor wandering soul Sinead O'Connor wants to take up a new career teaching religion to primary-school children. How many parents will agree to that?

The turnover rate is up

Springfield (MA) Bishop Thomas Dupre's announcement that he may retire would make it a clean sweep: all four Massachusetts dioceses will be getting new bishops. Are readers seeing turnover like this elsewhere?

Every cloud has a silver lining!

I usually attend Mass at a church in Boston, but just got a letter from the local parish finance council out here in the suburbs, asking for a $200 donation to help meet a budget shortfall. Mass attendance and donations are off 25% this year in a parish hard hit by the sex-abuse scandals. The committee says that if they can't make ends meet, the parish will have to lay off some staff in the areas of "liturgy, youth ministry, ministry formation, and education".

As it happens, this parish is known across the diocese for its awful music: the music director can't play, or teach, or even count the beat well. So I'm thinking of offering $500 if they lay her off! This could be the salvation of the parish!

How to downplay the news

I'm impressed with the way the writer of this story about a sloppy abortionist de-emphasizes the baby-killing angle. Normally any story involving "the procedure" is hot news, but here the headline and the first paragraph refer to mere "surgeries". We wouldn't want the public to get the idea that abortion providers are less than perfectly compassionate, competent, and unmercenary physicians, would we?

"Yes, Jesus May Love Me"

A song parody takes a potshot at Reformed theology -- and scores!

Jesus loves me, this I think,
If I'm wrong, to hell I’ll sink,
Little ones to Him belong,
To save or damn, for He is strong!

Newsweek provides us this quote:

“I just don’t think that you should eat anything that’s Jesus. It’s OK to eat the cross as long as God is not on it.”
--Liz Samuel, a supervisor at the Gertrude Hawk Chocolates store in Langhorne, Pa., on the store’s selling chocolate statues of Jesus
A chocolate statue of Jesus? It just doesn't sound like a good idea to me. For one thing, where would you start eating? To bite the head off a chocolate bunny and come back to finish him later is no big deal, but doing that to our Lord's image would be a sort of profanation.

For convenience, you might press our Lord's image into a chocolate coin so that you could receive it whole and entire -- that would go over better. If you wanted, you could even put Caesar on one side and Christ on the other.

eje asks: "If they made a statue of John the Baptist, would it be appropriate to eat the head first?"

Now, he'd be bittersweet.

Hagiography in progress

On Holy Saturday 1993, three Orthodox monks of Russia's Optina Pustyn monastery were killed by some Satanist kook. Perhaps one day they will be canonized saints. Ten years later, these "new martyrs'" stories are being told. The Voice of Russia's weekly religious program recalls one of them, and his life seems to take on a mythic glow already.

For the audio, follow this link, scroll down, and play the program for 0900 Saturday. The religious segment of the program starts at 31 minutes, 30 seconds into the hour, so use your RealPlayer or WMPlayer to skip to that point.

(Holy new martyrs, pray for us.)

Some Biblical names do not carry with them an air of sanctity. What were this lady's parents thinking?

On May 1, London-based military-data giant Jane’s Information Group and Washington think tank Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) are cosponsoring “Companies on the Ground: The Challenges for Business in Rebuilding Iraq.” Registration: $528 to $1,100. The partnership began planning after the war started. “Bush seemed prepared to use the private sector in ways we haven’t seen before,” says Bathsheba Crocker, a CSIS fellow. (Newsweek)
I hope nobody out there named their girl Rahab.

Radio talk: End of an era at HCJB

Protestant missionary station HCJB has been broadcasting evangelical programs worldwide via shortwave from "high in the Andes, at Quito, Ecuador" since 1931, but is ending its transmissions in English and French this year. Media technology has changed and the needs of the audience have changed: the shortwave audience for both languages has dropped, and many places that formerly had no Christian local radio now do have it. Perhaps the first missionary shortwave station, they were also the best, often with a gentle and positive approach that even non-believers didn't mind hearing. HCJB is focusing its resources on other languages and on producing programs to be aired on local radio in various parts of the world.

Catholic missionary radio will need to make the same transition. While shortwave can still reach some fair-sized audiences in Latin America, Africa, and much of Asia, broadcasting to the tiny SW audiences in North America, Japan, and Western Europe is already not an effective use of missionary donations. I sometimes wonder whether it was wise for EWTN to build a shortwave station when that technology was already on the wane. But the folks at EWTN radio know the trend, and they are offering their programming to Europe via satellite services.

Internet audio is becoming more prominent. Some of the countries in Asia are highly wired: South Korea has an amazing 19 broadband drops for every 100 people.

But how to get Catholic radio into people's cars? The US satellite services XM and Sirius have both been struggling financially, it seems; but those carriers would give a Catholic channel instant nationwide reach, a feat that is probably unattainable by building an AM/FM network.

Some dame in Philly claims that a Jesuit priest "ordained" her 23 years ago. (Hey, it was 1980; the fringe types would try anything back then.)

Here's some of her reasoning:

"I don't want to be excommunicated, but I decided that you can't be excommunicated from something you are," Heffernan said. "And the doctrine of the church is that we are the church."
Now, let's parse this closely: she seems to be figuring as follows: (a) we are the church; (b) I am part of "we"; (c) therefore I am part of the church; also, (d) the church cannot excommunicate itself; "therefore", (e) the church cannot excommunicate me and did not excommunicate me for schism, simulation of a sacrament, or whatever offense. Just flip through the Code of Canon Law and point to a page at random, and you'll probably find some violation there.

I guess there is no such thing as excommunication under this gal's logic, so, hey: I feel a song comin' on. Everybody join hands and sing along (We Are The World):

We are the Church,
We're priests, we're women,
There is no excommunication
and there is no sinnin':
It's our voice we're raisin',
We're savin' our own souls,
We're gonna have the Church our way eventually...

Eurgh.

The CWN blog cites a Catholic Herald (UK) story claiming that the Pope is preparing to issue a "universal indult" allowing priests to freely celebrate the old form of Mass. The web site is hard to reach at times, so I'll quote it here:

Pope prepares to lift restrictions on Tridentine Mass
English bishops request secret report from Latin Mass Society
By Simon Caldwell

The Pope might soon allow the world's Catholic priests the right to celebrate the old rite Latin Mass on Sundays and holy days without the permission of their bishops, according to sources close to the Vatican.

John Paul II is understood to be ready to grant a "universal indult" by the end of the year to permit all priests to choose freely between the celebration of Mass in the so-called Tridentine rite used up to 1962 - before the disciplinary reforms of the Second Vatican Council - and the novus ordo Mass used after 1970.

It will mean that a priest who wants to celebrate old rite Masses will no longer need to apply for an indult to Ecclesia Dei, a pontifical commission set up to study the implications of the Lefebvrist schism, after first gaining permission from his bishop.
The indult may be announced as part of the publication of forthcoming juridical notes on Ecclesia de Eucharistia, the new encyclical on the Eucharist, published on Holy Thursday, in which the Pope affirmed the Church's traditional teaching of the sacrificial nature of the Mass.

It might also be announced at the Basilica of St Mary Major in Rome on May 24, when Cardinal Dario Castrillon Hoyos, the Prefect for the Congregation of the Clergy and the president of Ecclesia Dei, becomes the first cardinal prefect to celebrate an old rite Mass in a main Roman basilica for 30 years. Organised by the Latin Mass movement, Una Voce, the event is one of many indications that Rome is dropping restrictions on the celebration of the old rite.

Last month, the Holy Father, who celebrated a Tridentine Mass last summer, published a command called Rescriptum ex Audientia to authorise the celebration of the old rite Mass in St Peter's Basilica, Rome, by any priest who possessed an indult.
The Vatican also asked the Scottish bishops, ahead of their five-yearly ad limina visit to Rome in March, to reveal what provisions they made for the celebration of the old rite Mass in their dioceses. Since the meeting, the Scottish bishops have stepped up their provision from just four a year in the whole of the country to at least one a month in Glasgow and Edinburgh.

The same requests have been made in a questionnaire to the English and Welsh bishops, whose next ad limina visit to Rome will take place in the autumn. The bishops have invited the Latin Mass Society (LMS), set up to promote the practice of the old rite, to submit a report on the provision of the Tridentine Mass ahead of their low week meeting in London this week when they were scheduled to discuss the issue.

John Medlin, LMS development officer, confirmed that a "full document" had been circulated to the bishops but refused to discuss its contents.

Incidentally, note that bit of good news about St. Peter's: in the past, the clergy who run the Basilica had resisted letting priests on pilgrimage celebrate according to the old rite there, as if doing so would have been some sort of protest.
