BLACK is a liturgical color

Contrary to the rants of the swivel-chair and hobbyist liturgists and ill-informed priests, BLACK is a liturgical color which the Church did not abolish.

The General Instruction of the Roman Missal is specific about this:

346. As regards the color of sacred vestments, traditional usage should be observed, namely:

e) Besides the color violet, the colors white or black may be used at funeral services and at other Offices and Masses for the Dead [emphasis mine]

And here are some photos I got online, of bishops and priests celebrating the Mass of All Souls day in the Ordinary Form (Novus Ordo Missae) or the Missal of Blessed Paul VI, wearing black vestments.

So the next time someone rants about black being not a liturgical color, tell them to

Because they do not teach seminarians to read the GIRM.

Liturgical Abuse promoted on TV, and all other crazy things

Watch the video and how the ABS-CBN reporter insinuates that after just a year in office, Pope Francis contributed to the increase in priestly ordinations in the country.

Yes!  For the reporter, it only takes a year to get ordained.

And one other thing, the missionary priest celebrates Mass, on the floor!

As if there are no tables.  Their excuse "but that is how people in the barrios eat!"

But is that the way Catholics celebrate Holy Mass?

Liturgical Inculturation Trash!  You treat the Holy Mass like you would treat an ordinary meal.

Christ Himself instituted the Holy Mass during the celebration of the Jewish Passover Meal.  Show me a Jewish Passover celebrated on the floor or inculturated!

That is how you treat something holy?

Can this priest or any of his friends defend their liturgical abuse?


And the priest even mentioned that he was "evangelized" by the poor.

Uhm... I've heard that before.

The simplicity of the people can indeed bring you to realize what is important in life.

But let us not forget this.  The real work of evangelization rests on the priest.

Intiendes?

So get to work.

Baptize!

WE WANT MORE PINOY SAINTS!

Almost 500 years of Catholicism and we only have two saints?  This scarcity of Pinoy saints is not because we do not have enough holy people.

It is because our archive handling, an important part of the saint factory, is B.S.

Take for example the duplicity of Mother Francisca del Espiritu Santo and Mother Ignacia del Espiritu Santo.

To me, they are one and the same person.  The archives are full of accounts of Mother Francisca, while Mother Ignacia's grave could not even be found!

If we want more Pinoy Saints, we need to PRAY MORE.

New Foundation of the Franciscans of the Immaculate in the Philippines?

According to The Eponymous Flower:

There seems to be an attempt, for the reincorporation of the Order of the Franciscans of the Immaculate in a new guise, but with its old charism in the Archdiocese of Lipa.

What does the Church say about Holy Communion?

The General Instruction of the Roman Missal says:

160. The priest then takes the paten or ciborium and goes to the communicants, who, as a rule, approach in a procession. The faithful are not permitted to take the consecrated bread or the sacred chalice by themselves and, still less, to hand them from one to another.

The norm for reception of Holy Communion in the dioceses of the United States is standing. Communicants should not be denied Holy Communion because they kneel. Rather, such instances should be addressed pastorally, by providing the faithful with proper catechesis on the reasons for this norm.

The Instruction Redemptionis Sacramentum also says:

94. It is not licit for the faithful “to take . . . by themselves . . . and, still less, to hand . . . from one to another” the sacred host or the sacred chalice. Moreover, in this regard, the abuse is to be set aside whereby spouses administer Holy Communion to each other at a Nuptial Mass.

Why is this so?

Because:

GIRM 85. Catholic ministers licitly administer the Sacraments only to the Catholic faithful, who likewise receive them licitly only from Catholic ministers, except for those situations for which provision is made in canon 844 §§2, 3, and 4, and canon 861 §2.166 In addition, the conditions comprising canon 844 §4, from which no dispensation can be given, cannot be separated; thus, it is necessary that all of these conditions be present together.

Canon Law states:

Can. 910 §1 The ordinary minister of holy communion is a Bishop, a priest or a deacon. §2 The extraordinary minister of holy communion is an acolyte, or another of Christ's faithful deputed in accordance with can. 230 §3.

With all these Church legislations stated, we invite Fr. Cutamora to explain his side for distributing Communion in such a manner.

We will be waiting.

Voris apologizes

Only a humble man asks for forgiveness.

Turning ourselves to a foul mouthed, self absorbed, messianic complexed, poor theology personality...
