And Archbishop Lefevbre was excommunicated for what, again? Part III
Minnesotan Regina Nicolosi was not among the 12 American women who boarded a boat in Pittsburgh on Monday to be "ordained" as priests and deacons ... but Nicolosi herself took part in a similar ritual five weeks ago in Switzerland, when, she said, she was ordained a priest. Any excommunications yet?
Although Nicolosi said she has received several letters from the Archdiocese of St. Paul and Minneapolis threatening excommunication and met personally with Archbishop Harry Flynn in October, she feels her Red Wing parish and its priest have been very supportive. "Several letters", huh? Wow... I'm underwhelmed with emotion. Anyone care to lay any bets if that 'supportive priest' will ever get called on the mat? Two chances... slim and none.
"I hope the hierarchy will understand we are not trying to splinter off but reform the Church from within and really let the Spirit into the Roman Catholic Church, the last stronghold of patriarchy in the Western world,'' Nicolosi said. Ahhhhh, I see now! The Holy Ghost has never dwelled within the Catholic Church for the past 2,000 years. Silly us.
When... WHEN... will someone grow a backbone and start cutting away the diseased branches?

I think they fell out of the tree a long time ago. No need to excommunicate them; they've done it to themselves.
As much as I would like to see some Bishop tear into these clowns, maybe it's best they don't even dignify this crap with a response. I agree, these people excommunicated themselves long ago and are headed for Hell unless they repent and confess.

Here's the problem... The Catholic Church is not financially independent. The Catholic Church in the US is the largest financial contributor the Catholic Church.
But, the US is not a Catholic nation. (In fact, most of its founding principles are anti-Catholic, but that is a separate conversation.)
Keeping in mind the dictum, "He who owns the gold makes the rules", you can see why this nonsense is allowed to continue here in our country.
F.A.B.,
I dont disagree with you at all. I'm just pointing out that the US appears to be the "majority shareholder" in the Catholic Church.
Combine that with a Pope who is basically "more of the same" (with a somewhat traditional outlook), and you have a pretty sad state of affairs.
Thank God for traditionalist societies such as the Society of St. Pius X. If it werent for them, I think it would be hard to find the traditional Faith, Mass, & Sacraments anywhere.
Here is a link to the article in The Catholic Spirit, the official newspaper of the Archdiocese of Saint Paul and Minneapolis, regarding Nicolosi's "ordination."
As a Catholic in the Twin Cities, I can tell you that Archbishop Flynn has never been big on doing much more than sending letters, so my only shock is that Nicolosi has received several letters.
A prime example of such inaction within the Archdiocese is St. Joan of Arc Parish, known locally as one the metro's "gay" parishes. It took repeated complaints to the Vatican from Minnesota Catholics before the Archdiocese, in conjunction with an order from the Vatican, demanded in 2004 that St. Joan of Arc Parish remove gay pride materials from its church and website, and to stop letting the unordained speak during services. Unfortunately, the censure was never truly enforced by the Archdiocese and, as of today, the St. Joan of Arc website has pro-gay information, such as support for "same-sex" adoption.
A less drastic, but more recent example, is the coverage of polka masses in the latest edition of The Catholic Spirit (you may want to grab some of those pictures for future use). A list of more were provided in the paper as well, including three this past weekend, and five more in the Archdiocese throughout the remainder of the month.
Unfortunately, nothing more that a few letters to Nicolosi from Archbishop Flynn is par for the course here. I wouldn't even be surprised if she ended up "celebrating a gathering" at St. Joseph's in Red Wing at some point.
Greetings in St. Jerome!
The wonders of the Catholic Treasures of Faith and Wisdom is plentiful even in a godless and sinful world. Today, more than ever, all men must seek ever more deeply to understand that Jesus Christ is Lord and Truth. For if man sincerely seeks what has been handed to him from a principle foundation of hallowed reason and invincible faith, it will necessarily follow that he will find what he is seeking by following that same path of truth.
No wonder in an age of moral decay and even outright indifference for holy things, is there still a ray of hope in the Catholic Catholic. For Jesus Christ who is the True Light made the ultimate sacrifice to His Father to make His promise of perpetual saving graces available to mankind a matter of fact. St. Jerome, a great Doctor of the Catholic Church, made great steps in that path of truth and was chosen by God to help codify the inspired and approved texts of Sacred Scripture into a single book that became known as the Sacred Bible. This book became a source of spiritual growth, theological study, and legal practice in a world really no different from our own. Rightly, did St. Jerome bellow at the world of his own time that "Ignorance of the Scriptures is Ignorance of Christ" (Ignoratio enim Scripturarum ignoratio Christi est), because it is only through the quest of truth will someone attain the true love of truth which will crown them with the gift of wisdom.
The good news from St. Jerome's Cave is that there is good plenty of Rare and Hard to Find Traditional Catholic Books available for those on this quest for truth and who will love these books to show the Pastor their goodness of wheat. Here is sample of a few of the great works of Christ's Church available to obtain:
Pontificale Romanum
Missale Romanum
Epistolae et Evangelia Totius Anni.
Evangelarium
Canon Missae ad usum Episcoporum
Mansi's Sacrorum Conciliorum Nova et Amplissima Collectio
Migne's Patrologiae Cursus Completus
Denzinger's Enchiridion symbolorum, definitionum et declarationum de rebus fidei et morum
Jerome's Biblia Vulgata Latina
Rare Pre-Vatican II Gregorian Chant and Sacred Polyphony
Rare Video of Popes Saint Pius X , Pius XI, Pius XII
Rare Video of a traditional Latin Solemn High Mass
And...so much more!
Please visit St. Jerome's Cave and have a look at the great treasures that he and all true Catholic scholars brought together for the Greater Glory of God, the edification of the Christian People, and the salvation of souls:
