The Catholic Counter-Reformation in the 21^st Century

THE MYSTICAL DOCTOR OF THE CATHOLIC FAITH.
Chapter 8: First controversies

Intelligence does not suffice to defend the truth. The gift of Counsel is required. “ Wisdom comes imperceptibly to those who listen to their masters, and from the seminarian is born the priest, over the years. Today, I remember a few unimportant events in which I had to chose my way, on the spur of the moment, among several others on the right and on the left. ” [...]

AGAINST THE SCHISMATIC DRIFT
II­. May God give us a good catholic pope before three years are up

"The global reform of the Church, shamelessly launched by John XXIII, had been skilfully and doggedly pursued by Paul VI since his election to the sovereign pontificate on June 12, 1963. However, the modernists continued to hate the papacy in general and this pontiff in particular, particularly because on certain key issues he had ultimately thwarted their plans." [...]

AGAINST THE SCHISMATIC DRIFT
I. The new “Ordo Missæ”: A battle on two fronts

“ During my years as a seminary teacher ”, explains Fr. de Nantes, [...] “ I had never been taught the theology of the sacraments correctly, the liturgy not at all, and I had not carried out an in-depth study of either of these subjects before the time of the great conciliar disputes. I confess, I let myself be taken by surprise. ”

FOR THE CHURCH, Volume III
Forward : Against the Schismatic Drift

After the promulgation of the new Order of the Mass, Fr. de Nantes boldly entered the battle against the liturgical reform. However, from the autumn of 1969, the theologian of the Catholic Counter-Reformation had a new and even more pressing concern, that of defending the unity of the Church against the schismatic drift.

Chapter 7: “ In the heart of the Church ”

After two years of philosophy, the seminarians became seniors, moved into the large building and entered “ theology. ” There, it was no longer philosophic reasoning that commanded, but divine Revelation explained by the Church. “ It was no longer work but recreation, or I should say, a permanent contemplation ! [...] We were listening to the Church and, through her, to Our Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, Himself God. ”

The Psalms, inspired prayers

Exegetical study of the Psalms, by Brother Bruno Bonnet-Eymard.
« Like all religious, we “chant” the Divine Office night and day. The psalms form its substance. Nothing could be more familiar. Right to our death, they will be the inspired language of our continual prayer. »

Pope Francis, the first Pope to visit Saint Peter’s original tomb

On April 1 Pope Francis visited the necropolis located under St. Peter’s Basilica where the original tomb of St. Peter was discovered in the 1940s. The unrelenting work of an Italian researcher, Margherita Guarducci, led to the positive identification of the bones contained in the tomb as those of St. Peter’s. She thus provided historical and archaeological proof in support of the dogma of the primacy of the See of Rome.

The League : It is the Holy Father !

The first cordial meeting of Pope Francis with his children surprised and captivated the attention of the whole world. “ It has been said so often that the Church is dead, ” a Canadian journalist exclaimed, “ she is really showing that it is not true. ” Here are the reactions of our Community and of a few friends.

Chapter 6: The liberated seminary

After having witnessed the horrors of the “ Liberation ” during his first holidays in the summer of 1944, “ finally the date for returning to the seminary arrived. I was tremendously happy. The trip was long, through a land marked by battles; we crawled along. When I arrived at Issy-les-Moulineaux, matured by so many events seen, however, from a distance, the change struck me from the first moment. Truly another life was beginning. ” [...]

Go Francis, rebuild my Church “ half in ruins ” !

“ Dear brothers and sisters in Christ, let us all feel intimately united to the prayer of our Savior at the Last Supper, to His invocation : Ut Unum Sint. Let us ask the merciful Father that we might live in fullness the Faith that we received as a gift on the day of our baptism, in order to bear free, courageous and joyful testimony to it. ” Either this declaration includes the will to bring back into the bosom of the Unam Sanctam all the baptised who live separated from her, or it is naught.

Open letter to the Pope

Most Holy Father, the announcement of your election to the sovereign pontificate on the evening of Wednesday, May 13, was a great surprise for our Community. Nevertheless, your simplicity, and your smile that reminded us of your predecessor, John Paul I, immediately won us over.

He has returned !

On March 13, 2013, we relived hour by hour the great joy, gaudium magnum, of August 26, 1978, the fulfilment of the act of hope written as an epigraph on each issue of the Catholic Counter-Reformation in the 21st century : “ He will return with his immense heart, with his heart of fire, his poor man’s soul and his smile. He will return! And the Immaculate Heart of Mary will triumph! ”

1962-2012, fifty years ago, the Council

To revisit Vatican II fifty years later and to do so with the faith of the Church of the ages as Fr. de Nantes kept and taught it, reveals its avowed, intentional “pastoral” plan. Misunderstood by the faithful – apart from its promoters who were moreover unsatisfied with it – it consists in a “new humanism”, the aim of which is harmony among men and world peace.
