To anyone who will not be at Mass this Sunday, and has no particular intention of being there the Sunday after: grace to you, and peace.‍ Now please go back to Church. Thank you.😊

SSPX vs. Holy See: There is a word the English keep for a certain genre of marital combat: the domestic. It is the row the neighbours hear through the partition wall — the raised voices, the slammed door, and, at the climax, the unmistakable timpani of crockery making contact with plaster. Nobody calls the police. Everybody listens. And the next morning, over the fence, the verdict is delivered: Did you hear them last night?😁
