At a loss for topics tonight, I will simply reference St. Rita, her great favor with God, and her status as Patron of the Impossible.
Starting another novena soon. Send prayer intentions or, even better, commit to nine days of prayer and include my intentions in your kindness.
St. Rita, pray for us!
Or is that Motibus Propriis? My in-house Latinist (my best friend and drinking Buddy) insists on the latter.
Check this out from the gang at CNA:
“Pope Francis (sic) Changes Canon Law on Opus Dei and Any Future Personal Prelatures”
The logical conclusion to which I am drawn is this. If the “changes to Canon Law” now place the Prelature on the level of a Society of Apostolic life, does that mean Opus Dei has been knocked down a peg or has the FSSP, another Society of Apostolic Life, been elevated?
Furthermore this:
“It also further defined the role of the prelate as a “moderator endowed with the faculties of an ordinary’.”
This could be nothing but it’s not. Looks like the Fraternity might not ever get a bishop as they’ve so long been promised.
Developing.

An antipope can no more change canon Law than you or I or Loretta Lynn can.
In case you hadn’t seen it a few days ago, here’s a link to a post by NVP.
Acts of reparation are obviously required.
If I have a modicum of sympathy for Antipope Bergoglio it is in this…
I’ve had two previous spinal fusion surgeries. Every now and then I get terrible bouts of sciatica. I understand the Argentine suffers the same.
It is not a pain I wish upon anyone.
Our Lady, Health of Christians, pray for us!
How did you observe the anniversary of the death of Saaaaiiiinttt Paul VI? JK. It was Transfiguration Sunday around here.
What good is having a trad audience if you can’t ask your friends to pray for an intention every now and then?
Ever thankful that so many of you read my daily musings, I ask you all who read this to lift up in prayer a friend of mine who is going through a particularly rough spot.
Thank you in advance!
Our Lady of Victory, pray for us!

I am not at World Youth Day right now.
Instead I’ve spent the past week doing hard manual labor in blistering 109° weather. Building a fence (not a bridge). I’ve also been to Latin Mass every day, confession twice, read some Fathers and Doctors, prayed 15 decades every day, and am generally living my life as a man, a husband, and a father. Toss in caring for a sick wife and pulling double-duty in her absence while she recovers and you’ve got yourself a busy Harvey.
As for the youth in my life – my two teenage children? I figured it was better to teach them the Catholic faith than to ship them off to Lisbon to here a bunch of freemasonic faggots drone on about encounters and synodality and encounters of synodality. There is another “youth”, come to think of it. A young man of 22 whom I taught a few years ago. He heard I was building a fence and cheerfully volunteered to help. “I wouldn’t have made it through high school without you,” he said. He’s too kind but his assistance is invaluable. Perhaps I taught him something truly valuable – like how to attain heaven; but I think that credit belongs to his wonderful parents.
So the next WYD is where again? Hell? Yeah, I’ll pass on that one too.
Blessed Mother, Queen of the Church, pray for us!
