TRADITIONIS CUSTODESThe clue to a right interpretation of Pope Francis’s motu proprio, which endeavours to stifle the Roman Rite of Mass laid down by Pope Pius V, lies in its title. more THE TROUBLE WITH SUMMORUM PONTIFICUMThere is agitation abroad among orthodox Catholics over what Pope Francis may attempt to do to Pope Benedict XVI’s Apostolic Letter Summorum Pontificum. This analysis of Pope Pius V’s Bull Quo primum (1570) may relieve their concerns. The lesson it teaches is this: put not your trust in Pope Benedict, and even less in his successor! more THE INFINITE DIGNITY OF THE PERSON—AN ANSWER TO ROBERTO DE MATTEIItalian Professor of History, Roberto de Mattei, has published a long screed defending the use of vaccines tainted by cells taken from aborted children. This is our answer. more THE MORALITY OF VACCINES DERIVED FROM CELLS OF ABORTED CHILDRENThis paper addresses the vexed question set forth in the title. It invokes the authority of five of the Church’s bishops and the theologian Don Pietro Leone in support of a negative answer. It provides reasons why Catholics cannot rely on advice emanating from the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith.The paper has been amended slightly to clear up the point whether a vaccine may be morally licit that uses cells derived from an aborted child in its testing phase only. more THE STATUS OF THE NOVUS ORDO MISSAEA recent discovery of tapes of the late Fr Gregory Hesse S.T.D., S.J.D. has precipitated this addendum to the arguments against the novus ordo rite of celebration of Mass. Previous papers on this website attacked the rite through its effects. This paper looks at its causes and finds them bereft of any legitimacy. This paper was published in February 2021. We have amended it on the advice of Dr Peter Kwasniewski to include the argument of Fr Hesse that the fact that three of Pius V’s successors endorsed, and did not replace, his Bull demonstrates that they agreed with his assertion that Quo primum was irreformable. more COMMENTARY ON OPINION OF FR A SELEGNYThis is a commentary, and analysis, of the position taken by the Society of St Pius X in the United States on the question of the licitness of being injected with vaccines tainted with elements of the bodies of aborted babies. more THE VACCINES & THE PRINCIPLE OF THE DOUBLE EFFECTThis is a technical paper which weighs tainted vaccines against moral principle. more WOMEN IN DEFENCE…The following is a link to the authoritative article (cited by Don Pietro Leone) by 86 women around the world opposing any use of vaccines that rely in any way on elements of the bodies of aborted children—https://edwardpentin.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/STATEMENT-The-Voice-of-Women-in-Defense-of-Unborn-Babies-and-in-Opposition-to-Abortion-tainted-Vaccines-WORD-DOC.pdf GOVERNANCE OF THE CATHOLIC CHURCH IN AUSTRALIAThis is a criticism of the Response of the Australian Catholic Bishops Conference to a 200 page report by a team, consisting mainly of lay people, on ‘the future governance of the Catholic Church in Australia’. It reflects not so much on the Catholic Church as on its counterfeit, ‘the Synodal church of Vatican II’, established after the close of the Council, of which our bishops are functionaries. The inability to distinguish their conduct as bishops from their conduct as functionaries of this counterfeit will lead inevitably to harm to the Church and the Catholic faithful. more
