Way to go!! What else can I say?
ReplyDeleteLongskirts - the bearer of good news!
Correct me if I am wrong but aren't these Dominican nuns of the second order rather than Dominican sisters of the third order?
ReplyDeleteThanks to Long-Skirts for this and especially for all those wonderful poems she gives us.

Gratias, Gratias!!
Wow!
ReplyDeleteThe Vatican acknowledging a canonical mission for these SSPX sisters!
I am speechless :) See, all those big worries that come from time to time... But our Lord and Saviour is so merciful and good! Rome does, w/o hesitation, accept the work the FSSPX does, as had it always been a part of the church.. Deo gratias!
ReplyDeleteOn a side note: can someone explain to me what the remarks about Long Skirts mean? Thanks!

MISSOURI
MULE
I love the Church
With all my heart
Have watched the wolves
Tear her apart
Have watched the wolves
Confuse and lie
Attack the sheep
Leave them to die
But who am I?
A simple poet
Missouri bred
So I must show it
And show it how?
Sometimes not pretty
When I crank out
An angry ditty
Missouri bred
A stubborn mule
All heresy
I'll not help fuel
Like when deny
His Presence real
Won't genuflect
Or even kneel
But then the Holy Ghost
Says "Show 'em"
Inspires me
To write a poem
So that is when
And why at Mass...
God gives me poems
To kick their *ss!
Brava, Long-Skirts. Poet extraordinaria. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteThe SSPX bought a great monastery from Carmelites in France (in the Alpes).
ReplyDeleteRome gave the approval for the contract, I´v heard.
Thing become normal, I guess.
You're one 'mean mama', LS. :-)
ReplyDeleteI liked that one.
God bless!
The way I see it:
ReplyDeleteThere would be no 9/14 appointment without there being an agreement to sign. So, 9/14 is a date of signing the agreement, a ceremonial occasion. SSPX will be juridically given an official status and mission. This is what I think.
Why would they be called to be told you are not wanted?
In my opinion some commenters are forgetting that Our Lord is in charge of these proceedings as He is, indeed, in charge of all proceedings. As Long-Skirts has rightly pointed out, He may have already revealed His hand.
ReplyDeleteAs I think of Him observing what is happening in the world in general, and in His Church in particular, He may have already decided to intervene. He may have listened to His Blessed Mother telling Him that He must accomplish what others have failed to do, namely, unify His ministers against the onslaught of Satan.
I have in mind the scene from Shakespeare's As You Like It: "All the world's a stage, And all the men and women merely players." (Jaques in Act II Scene vii.) Yes, all are players, even Pope Benedict XVI and Bishop Fellay, but there is One who is Master of them all.

Dio Gratias!
ReplyDeleteWe need to pray for the sisters.
And for our Holy Father.
The sisters' blog has been disappeared.
Why would all of the links to the Sister's blog suddenly disappear? Could it be that the wolves in the curia are red-faced and furious that such a momentous development has been made public? I will not name names here but I am convinced that it is the work of the "wolves". May Our Lord protect His Holiness from the wolves and may His Holy Will be done in spite of them.
