Pope Pius XII

The Venerable Pope Pius XII was one of the last great Pontiffs of The Holy Roman Catholic Church. His successors have failed to live up to his saintliness and holiness, and yet he hasn't even been declared a Blessed by the Church.

I urge the Holy Father Pope Benedict XVI and the appropriate authorities in the Roman Curia to advance the cause for sainthood for Venerable Pius XII.

It's Good To See These Great Things Come Back One By One

Daily Mass of Pope John XXIII


Pentecost

Veni,creàtor Spìritus, mentes tuòrum visita, imple supérna gràtia, quae tu creàsti péctora. Qui dìceris Paràclitus, donum Dei,Altìssimi, fons vivus,ignis,càritas, et spiritàlis ùnctio. Tu septifòrmis mùnere, dextrae Dei tu dìgitus, tu rite promìssum Patris, sermòne ditans gùttura. Accénde lumen sénsibus: infùnde amòrem còrdibus: infìrma nostri còrporis virtùte firmans pérpeti. Hostem repéllas lòngius, pacémque dones pròtinus: ductòre sic te praevio vitémus omne nòxium. Per te sciàmus da Patrem, noscàmus atque Fìlium, te utriùsque Spìritum credàmus omni témpore. Deo Patri sit gloria, Et Filio,qui a mortuis Surrexit,ac paraclito, In saeculorum saecula. Amen.

Bring It Back: The Papal Coronation

The last Papal coronation that took place was that of Pope Paul VI in 1963. This Rite was done away with after Pope John Paul I decided to have a "Papal Inauguration" instead. Bring the Church and the Vicar of Christ to its former glory!

Pater Noster



Pater noster, qui es in caelis:
sanctificetur Nomen Tuum;
adveniat Regnum Tuum;
fiat voluntas Tua,
sicut in caelo, et in terra.
Panem nostrum cotidianum da nobis hodie;
et dimitte nobis debita nostra,
sicut et nos dimittimus debitoribus nostris;
et ne nos inducas in tentationem;

     sed libera nos a Malo.

Bring It Back: The Papal Tiara

The last time the Papal Tiara was worn was in 1963 by Pope Paul VI. It's truly a shame that it has gone into disuse. Pictured above is Pope John XXIII.

"Life Is Worth Living"

“Knowing belongs to man's intellect or reason; loving belongs to his will. The object of the intellect is truth; the object of the will is goodness or love.” ― Archbishop Fulton J. SheenLife is Worth Living

Papal High Mass


The Papal High Mass of Pope Pius XII pictured here in the Vatican Basilica of St. Peter. This Mass was taken away from us with the reforms of Pope Paul VI. I pray that in my lifetime, we will be blessed to see this again.

The New Papal High Mass does not do this justice. It's an attempt to replace this. It hasn't sufficiently taken the place of this great traditional rite of the Roman Liturgy.
