"It is...Our will that Catholics should abstain from certain appellations which have recently been brought into use to distinguish one group of Catholics from another. They are to be avoided not only as 'profane novelties of words,' out of harmony with both truth and justice, but also because they give rise to great trouble and confusion among Catholics. Such is the nature of Catholicism that it does not admit of more or less, but must be held as a whole or as a whole rejected: 'This is the Catholic faith, which unless a man believe faithfully and firmly; he cannot be saved' (Athanasian Creed). There is no need of adding any qualifying terms to the profession of Catholicism: it is quite enough for each one to proclaim 'Christian is my name and Catholic my surname,' only let him endeavour to be in reality what he calls himself." -- Pope Benedict XV, Ad Beatissimi Apostolorum 24 (1914)

First-time Traditional Latin Mass at St. Hyacinth in Detroit



Yet another parish in Detroit will celebrate the usus antiquior for the first time in over 40 years. From my inbox:


St. Hyacinth in Detroit will be having its first TLM since Summorum Pontificum on September 25th at 1pm, the celebrant will be Fr. Louis Madey of SS. Cyril and Methodius Seminary..... Any efforts to promote this would be appreciated.
