"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)

Solemn Pontifical Mass at the Altar of the Chair, St. Peter's Basilica, Rome

by Shawn Tribe

As already noted, Gregory DiPippo is at the Summorum Pontificum conference in Rome and will be providing photos and a full report this week, but I'm happy to share a few tidbits.

Regarding the actual talks of the conference, some interesting details are emerging, including a call made by Bishop Athanasius Schneider for a motu proprio re-establishing the minor orders and subdiaconate throughout the Latin rite.

One more item to share today however, video and a couple photos from John Sonnen showing some of today's Solemn Pontifical Mass at the Altar of the Chair in St. Peter's Basilica.
