Our Lady of The Southern Cross Ordinariate news: from The Catholic Weekly
The new head of Australia’s Ordinariate of Our Lady of the Southern Cross for former Anglicans will be installed at a special Mass in St Mary’s Cathedral on 27 August.
Monsignor Carl Reid, a Canadian, will become the second head of the Ordinariate as he takes over from its first leader, Perth-based Mons Harry Entwistle.
Meanwhile, a senior official in the Vatican’s top theological watchdog – the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith – will give a public lecture in Sydney on the ordinariates the day after Mons Reid’s installation.
ARCHBISHOP AUGSTINE DI NOIA OP, ADJUNCT SECRETARY OF THE CDF, WILL SPEAK ON 28 AUGUST ON THE PATRIMONY OF THE ORDINARIATES, CREATED BY POPE BENEDICT XVI BETWEEN 2011 AND 2012 FOLLOWING HIS APOSTOLIC CONSTITUTION ANGLICANORUM COETIBUS OF 2009.
Archbishop Di Noia’s lecture will be given at 7pm at Mary MacKillop Place in North Sydney. He will also preach the homily at the Mass of Installation for Mons Reid.

Air Martin It seems that God’s signs are going unnoticed by those whom the lay faithful rely on for guidance. What signs, you ask? Let’s give credit to writers who are capturing what should by now be the most obvious sign—or collection of signs—of God speaking to His people, His Church. Brian Williams @LiturgyGuy Yesterday Charlotte ordained 10 men to the priesthood, a record high in the diocese’s 54 year history. Interestingly, 8 of the 10 ordained came from parishes directly impacted by Bishop Martin’s restrictions against the TLM and/or altar rail ban. Meanwhile, two of the mega parishes in Charlotte, both of which fit the liturgical style +Martin favors—including one with over 12,000 registered families—haven’t produced a priestly vocation since well before COVID. Will this vocations boom continue in the coming years under Bishop Martin? Also interesting to note that one of the twelve ordained this past week by the FSSP also grew up here in Charlotte serving at St. Ann’s TLM. Bisho...

Adapted from a post published in 2018 - edited and expanded JULY 2023 [ 15 minute read ] Many Catholics are confused. Why? How? Catholics are distracted by liturgical infighting and, consequently, are suffering a confusion of identity. The devil knows that the Mass is the source and summit of the Christian life (LG 11 totius vitae christianae fontem et culmen ). Attack the Mass - or undermine human beings' understanding of what the Mass is and should be - and you divide and conquer, sow confusion, and rob people of their dignity and identity. How might we ease the confusion, promote faith, hope and love, and thwart the devil's assaults? We must be allied to Jesus Christ. We meet Jesus in the Eucharistic Liturgy. Divine Worship, the venerable English Mass of the Personal Ordinariates, offers an authentic via media or middle way past the infighting and confusion, and moves man toward communion with God. Divine Worship affirms all that is good and true and beautiful that is also...
The beauty of Catholic ritual action in the Mass is theological before it is aesthetic. Its gestures, postures, and ordered movements arise from—and reveal—the Church’s participation in the Paschal Mystery . The liturgy is not a human construction but the self‑manifestation of Christ the High Priest acting through His Body. Thus, ritual action becomes a sacramental epiphany of divine life. At the foundation lies the Church’s conviction that the Incarnate Word sanctifies not only the soul but the body. Because Christ redeemed human nature in its fullness, the body becomes capable of expressing supernatural realities. This is why the faithful stand to hear the Gospel, kneel in adoration, strike the breast in repentance, and trace the Sign of the Cross over themselves. These are not symbolic flourishes but anthropological-sacramental acts: the body becomes the instrument through which the believer enters the mystery. Ritual action thus forms the Christian according to the logic of the In...
The Holy Eucharist, the Sacrament of Sacraments, is celebrated in many distinct and beautiful ways. Catholics are familiar with the Ordinary Form (Novus Ordo). Fewer are familiar with the 1962 Latin Mass (Missa Antiquior). Our eastern Catholic brethren offer the Divine Liturgy (Byzantine, Ukrainian Greek), the Raza (Chaldean), the Holy Qurbono (Maronite, Syro-Malankara), the Holy Qurbāna (Syro-Malabar), the Badarak (Armenian), and more. In the personal ordinariates created by the apostolic constitution Anglicanorum Coetibus , the Mass is known as Divine Worship. The names we give to the sacred Liturgy say something about the nature of the Eucharist, our orientation to God, and the Church's mission. Of course, we also know the Liturgy as the Eucharist (εὐχαριστία), meaning 'thanksgiving'. 'Mass', a nickname of sorts derived from the Latin word for dismissal in the Mass—'ite missa est' (Go, it is the dismissal. Go, you are sent.)—refers to the mission of the ...

POPE LEO XIV Magnifica Humanitas
Even in the darkest nights, the Lord raises up men and women who refuse to give up, who persevere in doing good, who protect the vulnerable and open pathways to reconciliation. The memory of the saints, righteous people and the oft-forgotten peacemakers, show us that grace does not magically eliminate conflict, but instead it inspires active resistance to evil and an astonishing creativity in doing good” (paragraph 211).
THOMAS SOWELL
Ours may become the first civilization destroyed, not by the power of our enemies, but by the ignorance of our teachers and the dangerous nonsense they are teaching our children. In an age of artificial intelligence, they are creating artificial stupidity.
MAYA ANGELOU
You may encounter many defeats, but you must not be defeated.
PSALM 6
Depart from me, all you workers of evil; for the Lord has heard the sound of my weeping. The Lord has heard my supplication; the Lord accepts my prayer. All my enemies shall be ashamed and sorely troubled; they shall turn back, and be put to shame in a moment.
WORDS TO THE WHYS
Fear not the chatter of the insane who derive pleasure from sowing malice; for their portion is the pit of hell.
