Reading: Message of St. Joan of Arc by Fr. Marziac

The true mission of St. Joan of Arc, as it is written by Fr. Humbert Clerissac O.P., was “to link earthly power to the unique and universal suzerainty of Jesus Christ:  to put under a more holy and perfect law than natural religion, under the new law of Jesus, that organ and function of human [...]

No scoop, no buzz!

This 250th issue of DICI is an occasion to recall that the patron saint of Catholic journalists is Saint Francis de Sales, who, seeing no Protestants in church when he preached, had his sermons printed and slipped them under their doors.
On his feast day, January 29, 1959, during a Mass celebrated in Rome, Cardinal Ottaviani [...]

On the occasion of the 250th issue of DICI

The patronage of St. Francis de Sales, referred to in the editorial of this 250th issue of DICI, prohibits Catholic journalists from using sensational headlines to “sell papers” or, as we say today, to the “buzz the net.”  As Cardinal Ottaviani stated with clarity on January 29, 1959, Catholic journalism is “honor et onus,” an [...]

Fr. Patrick Troadec on His Book “The Catholic Family” (Clovis)

Father, you have been the director of the seminary of Flavigny for many years.  How does the Catholic family concern the ministry of a priest charged with the formation of future priests?
At the seminary of Flavigny, my role is essentially to form future priests and religious, but I realize that the young men who knock [...]

Sermon of Bishop Bernard Fellay, Superior General of the SSPX, December 8, 2011, in Ecône

“We want only one thing: to attack the real problem in the present crisis.”

My dear seminarians,
my dearest confreres,
We celebrate today the feast of the Immaculate Conception of the Most Blessed Virgin Mary. Some people, curiously enough, perhaps because of the word “conception” (which they connect with what we say in the Angelus, “And [...]

Interview with Bishop Bernard Fellay : The Society of St. Pius X and the Doctrinal Preamble

Why is the Doctrinal Preamble that Cardinal Levada delivered to you on September 14 still surrounded by so much secrecy, both on the part of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith and by the Society of St. Pius X?  What is this silence hiding from the priests and faithful of Tradition?
This discretion [...]

The unsupportable force

The Seven Last Words of Christ by Haydn performed by a naked man before a live audience.  A billboard depicting the pope kissing an imam from Cairo on the mouth.  Paper currency filling the pierced side of Jesus crucified.  Excrement dumped on the face of Christ.  Disgusting hamburgers strewn on the ground parodying the multiplication [...]

Did you say “fundamentalists”?

In the department of Aude, in France, Fr. Philippe Guitart has seen the number of parishes under his care grow from 42 to 80 in one year.  Even with his motorcycle, he cannot visit them all, which is why he depends on groups of laymen who take care of the catechism, the liturgy, health, solidarity, [...]
