How many times have we read that gospel account of the boat upon stormy waters and yet many of us traditionalists continue to fret and obsess about the state of the church or our culture?

As usual I can’t do justice to his sermon, but Father said something to the effect that our good Lord knows what’s going on, he’s foreseen it from all eternity, and that we should never become distressed.

Following the beautiful mass and brilliant sermon, I witnessed a traditional baptism. Can I just say “Can I get my baptism done over?!”

Prior to the baptism starting Father stated that during the exorcism prayers he’ll be speaking in latin and he’ll be literally telling the “devil to go to hell” and “relinquish all claim through Adam to this child” and that he’ll be speaking in latin and not English because he’s “not having an ecumenical dialogue with the devil”

The three latin exorcism prayers, the blessed salt in the mouth, the priests saliva on the baby’s eyes and ears, and so much more! And the NO Church threw this stuff out of the baptism rite for what purpose exactly?

This Fr Wolfe sounds like a good guy. I like that line about not having an ecumenical dialogue with the devil. This Fr Wolfe sounds like a good guy.
