The Diocesan Planning Commission has issued their Preliminary Recommendations regarding Church closings. What they recommended for cluster No. 3 has a troubling note.
2. You re-evaluate the need for the “extraordinary form” of Mass in the Wilkes Barre area.
First off, isn't the planning commission over-stepping their bounds a bit here? It was my understanding that the commission was responsible for planning the church closures, not determine the way the faithful were to worship.
Sounds as if there are those with an agenda on the commission.
Not surprising though, in a Diocese where it is difficult to find a mass celebrated totally in agreement with the rubrics.
What are rubrics some of you may ask?
Those pesky directions for the priest written in red in the big book up on the altar.
Let me remind the planning commission of something.
In July 2007 POPE BENEDICT XVI (the guy in charge) issued a Motu Proprio Summorum Pontificum freeing the the old Latin Mass from it's imagined constraints. In it he gave permission to ANY priest, anywhere to say the Mass.
Without consent of his bishop.
Which is where most of the problems lay. Todays liberal Bishops, especially the American ones were horrorstruck that Dioceses they had spent years destroying with their liturgical dance and clown Masses could now start to be saved by a priest saying what has been termed the "Extraodrinary Rite" of the Catholic Church.
Immediately the USCCB raised questions about five words in the document "...a stable group of faithful". The Holy Father said that "...a stable group of faithful" could ask for the Mass. The roadblocks were put up immediately by the liberals in the church.
What could they mean by that? How many make up a stable group?
Well, our good friend Cardinal Dario Castrillion Hoyos, head of the Pontifical Council Ecclesia Dei rectified it for us.
CC: It’s a matter of common sense … In every bishop’s household there are maybe three or four persons. This is a stable group … It is not possible to give two persons a Mass, but two here, two there, two elsewhere – they can have it. They are a stable group.
So then the group at Holy Rosary are a stable group.
There is a need for the Mass.
People in Cluster 3, let your cluster members know.
I will.

More Pretend (not) Priests
From the intrepid Father Z. I have included his comments cuz they make me smile. Reading stuff like this makes my eyes burn.
3 women to be ordained Catholic priests [Nooo… will pretend to be ordained.] in Boston
Excommunication automatic, church warns
By Michael Paulson, Globe Staff | July 18, 2008
Three aspiring Catholic priests [B as in B. S as in S.] will be anointed and prayed over this weekend in an ordination liturgy that will resemble the traditional in most ways but one: The three [not] being ordained are women.
The [fake] ordination ceremony Sunday, at a historic Protestant church [That’s about right.] in the Back Bay, is the first such event to take place in Boston, one of the most Catholic cities in the nation. [?]
The Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Boston, in accord with Vatican teaching, [two millennia of Christian tradition] says the participants in the ordination ceremony will be automatically excommunicating themselves.
But the women [not] being ordained say they are acting because they feel called to the priesthood and compelled to resist what they view as a wrong church teaching. [Because they get to make that determination, I guess. Right?]
"We’re part of a prophetic tradition of disobeying an unjust law," [Remember folks: reject premises. This isn’t unjust, because it is not a matter of justice, and it is not a law, but an infallible teaching.] said Gabriella Velardi Ward, a 61-year-old Staten Island architect with two children and five grandchildren, who will [not] be ordained along with Gloria Carpeneto of Baltimore and Mary Ann McCarthy Schoettly of Newton, N.J.
Ward said she has wanted to be a priest since age 5, [And her parents dropped the ball on that one, I guess. They should have taught her better. But, then again.. you can’t always accomplish what you want with kids, can you.] and that she actively considered becoming a nun before deciding that the priesthood was her calling because she wants to be able to celebrate Catholic sacraments. [She can! Just not as a priest.]
"Excommunication or not, I will still be a validly ordained priest [This is simply a wicked lie.] and still will be able to serve the people of God," she said.
The women are to be [fictionally] ordained by Dana Reynolds, a California woman who was [not] consecrated as a bishop in Germany in April.
Reynolds and the others are part of an organization called Roman Catholic Womenpriests, which has been holding [invalid] ordination ceremonies for women since 2002; the organization says there are now 28 women Catholic [pretending to be] priests in the United States.
Among those already ordained is Jean Marchant, a former director of healthcare ministry for the Archdiocese of Boston, who with her husband presides over a small congregation that has a weekly Catholic Eucharist in a Protestant church in Weston.
The organization says its ordinations are valid because its first bishops were ordained by Catholic bishops in good standing – bishops whose names have not been released because they would face sanction by the Vatican. [Gratis asseritur gratis negatur. Besides, a real bishop can no more ordain a woman than I can transsubstantiate a banana into the Body of Christ. It just doesn’t work.]
But the Vatican says the ordinations are illegal [Not only illegal but invalid. INVALID. NULL! ZERO! VOID! Can they not get why it is "illegal" to attempt to ordain women? Because it is invalid and therefore makes a mockery of the sacrament of Holy Orders!] under church law [The newsie is sticking to the shallow end of the pool.] and yesterday the Archdiocese of Boston sent an e-mail to all priests declaring that women play key roles in the church, but cannot be priests.
"Catholics who attempt to confer a sacred order on a woman, and the women who attempt to receive a sacred order, are by their own actions separating themselves from the church," the archdiocese said. "As a faith community rooted in the loving ministry of Jesus Christ, we pray for those who have willingly fallen away from the church by participating in such activities."
The [false] ordination will be Sunday afternoon in Church of the Covenant on Newbury Street in Boston’s Back Bay. The church is affiliated with two Protestant denominations, the Presbyterian Church (USA) and the United Church of Christ.
The interim pastor of Church of the Covenant, the Rev. Jennifer Wegter-McNelly, said the congregation decided to rent its historic space, [sounds like a form of ecclesiological prostitution] with Tiffany windows depicting women of the Bible, at a nominal fee to show support.
"It’s our effort to encourage and celebrate with them," Wegter-McNelly said. "This church’s commitment to women goes back a long time." [As if the Catholic Church doesn’t have a committment to women. Right.]
The ceremony has been scheduled to coincide with the first joint conference of four organizations pushing for the admission of married men, as well as of women, to the priesthood. That conference begins today at the Hyatt Harborside.
In St. Louis, a recent Catholic women’s [fake] ordination ceremony at a synagogue led to a rift in Catholic-Jewish relations. [When you are that rude and obstuse, bad things happen to dialogue.]
The Boston archdiocese declined to comment about the Protestant church’s decision to allow the dissident Catholics to meet there. [Wow. A sentence that got it right!]
The Vatican has repeatedly said that women cannot be priests because Jesus did not have female apostles. [Not the only reason, of course. But notice how this shallow comment leaves the impression that the Church is behind the times, etc.]
In 1994, in the most definitive recent Vatican statement [not a teaching, I guess, just a policy statement] on the issue, Pope John Paul II issued an apostolic letter in which he wrote, "I declare that the church has no authority whatsoever to confer priestly ordination on women."
In its own statement, sent to priests by a vicar general, the Rev. Richard M. Erikson, the archdiocese said, "The ordination of men to the priesthood is not merely a matter of practice or discipline within the Catholic Church, but rather, it is part of the unalterable Deposit of Faith handed down by Christ through his apostles." [Ahhh… clarity.]
But the archdiocese also said it hopes the women involved will seek "reconciliation" with the Catholic Church, and said, "Following our devotion to Mary, the church is committed to, and sustained by the many important contributions of women each and every day."

Troubling
My cluster, number three, had two "further recommends".
We further recommend that:
1. You locate Hispanic Ministry at Saint Patrick in order to accommodate the growing numbers of Hispanics attending Mass.
2. You re-evaluate the need for the “extraordinary form” of Mass in the Wilkes Barre area.
The Extraordinary Form of the mass has been offered at Holy Rosary for years. Now the cluster recommends closing the church. Instead of planning to move the Extraordinary Form of the Mass to Saint Patrick's, just like they are moving the "Hispanic Ministry" there, they want to know if they should keep it.
In a time when the Holy Father is concentrating on spreading devotion to the Extraordinary Form, the answer should be a resounding "Yes, there is a need for it.".
The "further recommend" should have been "Determine how to best utilize the Extraordinary Form of the Mass to enrich the liturgical and spiritual lives of our parishes."
Not to re-evaluate the need for it.
