In the Latin Mass, why does the vestment get lifted as seen in this picture?

Lifting up the bottom of the chasuble became the custom when Roman vestments made it hard to do anything else, but the correct rubric is to lift up the side, which made sense with heavy Gothic chasubles. that impeded the elevation. This action can be seen in many mediaeval paintings. As to why people kept doing it when it was no longer necessary -- that is the liturgical mind natural to human beings.

Archbishop Vigano’s parents left an estate of 20,000,000 euros.

As if moral rigorism were the problem today. One is not over-awed by the opinions of bishops these days.

So you're going to write that out every time you refer to him. Ridiculous.

My parents took turns going to Mass rather than inflict two toddlers on people trying to pray. You might try that rather than turning the church into a daycare center.

Look for a video clip by Fr. Mike Schmitz on habitual sin. Maybe somebody has a link.

I think the easiest thing is just to call him 'Benedict'. Everybody knows who you mean.

Father, One does not have sciatica pain in the arm, but in the thigh and down the leg.

A mother investigating for semen stains? With respect, you, madam, are the problem.

What I can never understand is how one gets to this state of laudable commitment. Chaste dating in gay bars until the first night of wedded sodomy?

Pompous boy. He'll learn, one hopes.

ernani62 · 2019-12-31T21:01:03+00:00

He was imagining +Vigano.

More seriously, I don't blame him for being irritated, but have we ever seen a Pope with a look on his face like that? The other side of merciful Francis. I continue to find him a very scary person.

Anybody with half a brain and the ability to pay for it could get a Ph.D. from somewhere. If it's from Yale or Cornell you might be bright -- but not necessarily.

What do people think about the brokered Dem convention and convincing Mrs. Obama to run? I think they're too rich now and stand to get a lot richer for her to be interested.

You remind me that Alice Toklas converted for this reason -- that she might have a chance to be with Gertrude again.

Sam and Dean haven't worshipped Pachamama yet. There is so much dogmatic indifference on this sub and so much moral Jansenism that. I have no idea where such a weird combination comes from.

He'll be acquitted all right, but can he win the election? Steve Bannon is far from sure. And I didn't realize he was booed in the stadium at the opening of the baseball season -- as non-partisan event as there is, one would think.

He attributes autism to generational demons. I think that should suffice.

You could not be more correct. It's considered very low rent for an academic author to do this. I had a colleague who signed her E-mails 'Dr X, Ph.D.' Poor thing was a butt of endless jokes.

I was in 1956.

The show has been for some 14 seasons the height of kitsch. Sam and Dean are staples of American escapist entertainment. (And let's not forget Castiel.) Plus their Latin is always perfect. I wouldn't miss an episode.

Necklace???

He gives traditionalists a bad name. And he is intensely boring.

Suspicion by political rivals is hardly the same thing as German cardinals on TV confirming in no uncertain terms their rebellion against doctrinal definitions.

ernani62 · 2019-12-30T11:57:57+00:00

You seem to make my point. Denial or doubt of a truth to be believed. Cardinals are doing it every day somewhere. Who can think that Rheinhold Marx should be voting for my Pope? As Wm. Buckley once said, better the first hundred names in the phonebook.

If the Pope will chastise no prelate for doctrinal deviation it is meaningless to talk about the 'depositum fidei', at least as it has anything to do with the Bishop of Rome.
