Spe Salvi, indeed!

How appropriate that the Pope's new encyclical Spe Salvi (In Hope We Are Saved) has just come out.

Hope. Hope that Catholic Tradition will not only be kept alive, but flourish. And in that hope that Catholic Tradition is kept alive, that the salvific work that is the responsibility of priests will be reawakened in many that have, unfortunately, lost it.

Yes, yes... we could all cite specific after specific of priests who deny The Real Presence, one or more of the Sacraments, the primacy and authority of The Holy Father, etc, etc.

But ever so slowly, Catholicism sans the fluff, Catholicism with a fire in it's belly, Catholicism with the emphasis that God has done great things rather than the accomplishments of ourselves... yes, Traditional Catholicism is on the rebound. And coming back STRONG!

Wilmington, NC; Rocky Mount, NC; Bonita, CA, University of Notre Dame... I could go on and on.

Spe Salvi, indeed!
