A young priest says his first Mass
The purpose of this page is  to promote the ancient Traditional Roman Rite of Mass (Tridentine),Gregorian Chant, and Traditional Catholic Morality, and  catechesis.


                                          What really happens at the consecration


This rite of mass contrary to popular belief has never been abolished. It's celebration is permitted under  papal documents since 1984, and since 1988 Pope John Paul II has issued his decree that these permissions (indults) be granted on a wide and generous basis.

Our beloved Pope!!


This site is dedicated to:

and is under the Protection of the Sacred and Immaculate Hearts of Jesus and Mary
 


My Position in the Traditionalist Movement
I  Proclaim Fidelity to Jesus Christ and His One True Established Church.
I declare that I believe Pope John Paul II to be the true Pope.
I accept the New Code Of Canon Law and the new Catechism of the Catholic Church.
I accept the New Mass as Valid, however I believe that it is not necessarily the best practice for all.
I personally hold the opinion (in common with some high vatican officials) that the "Indult" is not strictly necessary, however I prefer to work within this provision.
I pray that the Bishops follow the lead of  the Holy Father and grant liberally this permission as he does in the diocese of Rome.
Although the Pope has not publicly offered this liturgy since his Election, I pray for the day that the political obstacles to this may be removed from the Vatican. I pray also for those within the Church who seek to make the Church what it is not. I pray for the the Sacred Heart of Jesus to save all souls, the protection of Our Blessed  Mother in her Immaculate Heart, the intercession of  Sts. Joseph, Benedict, Philomena, Peter, Paul, Genevieve, Agnes, Elizabeth Seton, John, Leo the Great, Pius V, Pius X, and all the saints. Amen.

!Sadly there is no diocesan approved Traditional Mass in the Diocese of Lafayette!
!!However there are 4 "Independant Chapels", thus further illustrating the need for a more broad application of the indult!!


My rantings:
2/16/2000: Sorry to have not updated for so long, I had computer problems that
resulted in the loss of some necessary software. Well, I am afraid that I am going to
have to withdraw from my current parish.  My pastor doesn't seem to be hearing me nor is he interested (in any way) in trying to make our Novus Ordo liturgy more in line with the true intent of the VatII reforms. It seems that something as simple as a rosary before Masses would only grudgingly be allowed and only during May!! But it seems that we will have "Life Teen Masses."  I will move to another parish that seems to know that we go to Mass to worship God & not for a self help session.  However the pastor there is not in great favor in the diocese since he only recently allowed altar girls on a limited basis. He is going to be sent on sabbatical this year no telling what will happen behind his back, likely the communion rail will come down... Will update more often I promise.
