Congratulations to Charlotte’s local SSPX chapel, St. Anthony of Padua, for being featured in the latest edition of the Regina Coeli Report from the Society’s district house. We can personally attest to the vibrancy of the community. #tlm #charlotte #sspx #stanthonysmountholly

Summorum Pontificum released 07-07-07 by Pope Benedict XVI, 18 years ago today. “What earlier generations held as sacred, remains sacred and great for us too.” Deo gratias! #CLMC #popebenedict #summorumpontificum #latinmass

Your eminence, is it possible that using the category of "the past" in a Catholic ecclesial context is inadequate or even incorrect? The Second Vatican Council was in "the past." The Mass of Paul VI was promulgated in "the past." St. Francis of Assisi lived in "the past."…

Pope Leo’s July prayer intention is formation in discernment: “Let us pray that we might again learn how to discern, to know how to choose paths of life, and reject everything that leads us away from Christ & the Gospel.” For many, the TLM assists in that discernment. @Pontifex

Thank you, Your Excellency! Bishop Robert Reed on the impact of the TLM on him.

I’m grateful to @Pontifex and to the Dicastery for Divine Worship and Discipline of the Sacraments for allowing the TLM to continue to exist in our parish church, extending permission for another two years. We look forward to shepherding them to heaven with love and care.

Dear priests, thank you for your lives given in service to the Kingdom, for your daily efforts, for what you endure in silence, which is sometimes accompanied by suffering or misunderstanding. You are all precious in the eyes of God and essential in fulfilling His plan.
