Vic Biorseth, Sunday, July
24, 2016
Once upon a time, all Catholic Churches were built so that the congregation, at prayer, would be facing East, toward Jerusalem. That didn't last too many centuries, but the Tabernacle, containing the Most Blessed Sacrament, was still on the back center of the Altar, which was almost always against the wall of the Church that once upon a time would have oriented the people and the Priest toward the East.
Huge Cathedrals like St. Peter's in Rome were the occasional rare exception, because worshipers were likely to be to the left, right and maybe even behind the Altar, which was free standing and not against any wall. But in general, all Catholic Churches had the same look and feel. The Tabernacle was the central focal point of the whole architectural design.
Well, that didn't last for too many centuries either. The post-Vatican II GIRM (General Instruction of the Roman Missal) called for a new Altar, separate from the wall so that it could be walked around, and so that celebration of the Mass could be said with the Priest facing the Congregation.
We remember when this happened. Suddenly, almost overnight, all these new Altars suddenly appeared, as if they had been secretly prepared and held in reserve for this occasion. One Sunday, Poof, there they all were, like magic. The extreme, unexplained suddenness of it was very disruptive. Many left the Church over it.
Until that time, we had always been taught that wherever we were in the world, if we went into a Catholic Church Mass would be said in exactly the same way, with preeminence given to Latin, and we would be right at home and not lost in any foreign Liturgy. The Mass was the Mass, wherever you went on the earth. It was the Mass of the ages.
No more. That was then, this is now.
Now, it is possible to be lost in a foreign Liturgy just going between Parishes within the same Diocese, or going from Diocese to Diocese, right here in America. Not supposed to be any foreign Liuturgy problem? Well, now we have a local Liturgy problem.
In that regard, Card. Sarah has stirred things up a bit. LifeSite News in an interesting report referred to this latest Ad Orientum controversy as GIRM Warfare. At a London conference on Liturgy, Card. Sarah called for Priests to offer Mass ad orientum, in the same manner it had been offered throughout history, until the post-Vatican II Liturgical disruptions.
Card. Sarah also criticized recent Liturgical abuses that elevate "human achievements" (Marxist Social Justice?) almost to the exclusion of God, and encouraged the reception of Holy Communion while kneeling, and for the restoration of Gregorian Chant.
That was analogous to showing a Cross to a Vampire, in terms of the immediate negative reaction from all the modernistic Catholic clergy of all ranks that have been in preeminence in the West since all the post Vatican II Liturgical disruptions.
By now we're all painfully aware of how quickly "Vatican Officials", who appear now to have formed quick-response teams for such situations, jump into the public spotlight to explain away whatever recent off-the-cuff remarks Pope Francis makes.
He didn't really give any blessing to homosexual lifestyles; he didn't really express preference for Marxism over Capitalism; he didn't really indicate adultery was not always sinful; he didn't really mean we should not condemn abortion more than we condemn lesser sins; he didn't really express equivalency between Protestantism and Catholicism; he didn't really intend to condemn the very existence of America's sovereign territorial borders; he didn't really intend to support the growth and multiplication of Islamic enclaves all over the West, or to support the mass importation of Moslems into Western nations; etc., etc., etc.
Now, this quick-response team, or whatever it is, has jumped on Card. Sarah's remarks in London, with both feet. The Official Vatican Statement "clarified" Card. Sarah's remarks in London, to the point of undoing them all. Just a little clarification. See? The "Clarification" referred to the GIRM, indicating that it called for populum peragi possit, meaning, facing the population. The Altar, not the Tabernacle, was to always be the center of attention, with the Priest facing the people.
The problem with the "Clarification" is that it seems to insist that it "must" be done this way, rather than "can" be done this way. If it is merely an implication, it is a very strong implication, bordering on or giving the appearance of insistence.
It seems there are still Catholic clerics who disagree with the Vatican's "Clarification" and with other detractors of consistent liturgical tradition. Quoting from the LifeSite article:
Father Hugh Somerville-Knapman, an Australian Benedictine monk and priest in England, wrote that the "propaganda of reaction" was evident in Lombardi's and others' responses to Sarah.
"When far more informal and spontaneous exhortations come from Pope Francis' mouth, the same people fall over themselves to apply the same to all and sundry," Somerville-Knapman wrote. "Remember 'Whom am I to judge?' Yet [Cardinal] Sarah's is to be dismissed as 'unofficial', and 'opinion.'"
Another quote from the article:
Liturgist and blogger Father John Zuhlsdorf wrote on his popular website that Father Thomas Rosica, another Vatican spokesman, further misconstrued reality by doubling down on Lombardi's statements and implying irrelevantly and incorrectly that the Traditional Latin Mass may only be offered in "certain specific cases." The Church's law allows "pretty much whenever and wherever any priest whosoever wants to say the older form of Mass" to do so, Zuhlsdorf wrote.
As Fr. Hugh Somerville-Knapman pointed out, the more Modernist clerical interpretation of GIRM 299 into English is flawed. (Does the first English gross miss-interpretation of the new Catechism of the Catholic Church, rejected by St. John Paul the Great, strike a familiar note?)
You have to read the Latin to see that this is true of the GIRM. The English is more insistent that populum peragi possit, yet the Latin seems more insistent on ad orientum, as the norm. The Modernists insist that it requires Mass facing the people; the Traditionalists insists that it allows Mass facing the people.
Traditional position, meaning, ad orientum, seems to be implied quite heavily by the references to those times the Priest does indeed face the people. It is worded in such a way that shows that the whole GIRM assumes a priori that the Mass is said ad orientum. For example, quoting from the GIRM:
At the beginning of Mass— 1. "… while the Priest, facing the people, says…"
After the offertory— 29. "Standing at the middle of the altar, facing the people, …"
At the Kiss of Peace— 127. "The Priest, turned towards the people, …"
At the "Behold the Lamb of God…"— 132. "The Priest genuflects, takes the host and, holding it slightly above the paten or above the chalice, while facing the people, says aloud:…"
At the priest's Communion— 133. "The Priest, facing the altar, says quietly:…"
For the Post-Communion prayer— 139. "Then, standing at the altar or at the chair and facing the people, with hands joined, the Priest says: Let us Pray."
Before the dismissal— 141. "Then the dismissal takes place. The Priest, facing the people and extending his hands, says: The Lord be with you…"
At the dismissal— 144. "Then the Deacon, or the Priest himself, with hands joined and facing the people, says: Go forth…"
I'm just a layman; what do I know? I can only say that personal observation over the years shows a remarkable loss of reverence for or even proper recognition of Jesus Present in the Holy Eucharist. While it cannot be said with certainty that populum peragi possit in and of itself caused this problem, it can most certainly be said that that is when the loss of respect for the Holy Eucharist began.
These troubling thoughts of a fractured and separated Liturgy and the two sides of divided up for GIRM Warfare were on my mind as I prayed in preparation for Mass today. It seemed related to the fractured and splintered political factions in America today, weakly standing against the seemingly more unified Marxist enemy of liberty, and weakly standing against the seemingly more united Islamic enemy of everyone not Islamic. Dangerous times, both within and outside of the Church.
The First Reading was from Genesis 18, where Abraham had the audacity to bargain with God, for the saving of Sodom if, ultimately, God found 10 worthy souls within its borders. Well, we know that there were not 10 worthy souls there, for it was entirely destroyed.
The Second Reading was from Colossians 2, where Paul taught that we all died to the world through the submersion of Baptism, and rose as new beings in Christ, no longer bound by chains of the law, but freed to be willing doers of the will of God, casting the old self away.
The Gospel was from Luke 11, where the disciples asked Jesus to teach them to pray, and the Lord's Prayer came into being.
Father's Homily turned all that into a beautiful relationship between the self and the community; combining Humility and Community in a way that was new and wonderful to me.
The practice and development of the virtue of humility means turning one's attention away from self and toward the other. Being more self deprecating and more listening and attentive to the words, wants and needs of others.
Christianity itself is a community project. No one can walk the Christian journey completely alone. We are the body of Christ, and He is the Head. Apart from the body, we are also apart from Him, and without Him, we can do nothing.
Father pointed out in the most perfect of prayers, the Lord's Prayer, there is no mention of "I" or "me". It is "Our Father ... ", and it is "... Give us ...", and it is "Forgive us ...", and "... as we forgive ...", and it is "Lead us ...", and it is "Deliver us ...", with no particular mention of the individual saying the prayer.
The Our Father is, always was and always will be a Community Prayer. We only pray the Our Father for ourselves when we prayfor the rest of the body of Christ, of which we are a part. Whether alone or in company, whenever we pray the Lord's Prayer, we pray for the whole body of Christ. Which is what we are supposed to do.
Father also pointed out that all the prayers of the whole Mass are community prayers. There are only three times when we pray for the singular "I" in the whole of the Mass; all other prayers are full community prayers. The three times we say "I" instead of "we" are all expressions of humility, except for a personal pledge.
That's it. Everything else in the Mass is Community Prayer, offered by and for the whole Body of Christ.
Another point highlighted in this homily was how all of this - the Lord's Prayer; the Mass itself; the fundamental principle of humility; and the sense of Community - the oneness of the Body of Christ that is the Church; all of these, and much more teaching, relate to the vtial need of memory.
As we age, we begin to lose the faculty of memory, and the Lord's Prayer, the Rosary, the Mass, all of these and other well known devotions help the memory of the individual to remain healthy.
In a similar manner, all of these things help the memory of the whole body of Christ, because they have been handed on through the millennia to us, to hand on to generations yet unborn. It is our responsibility to hand them on, whole, untarnished, untainted and unstained by any self-serving or unworthy changes.
Lord, that we may be one; that we may come together to offer one prayer, in one manner, to Your greater glory.
That we may be one in You, as You are one in the Father.
Thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.

How is it that opposing amnesty for millions of illegal aliens is "arrogant"? If my pro-Catholic, pro-American, anti-alternative-ethos position is "arrogant," then, exactly what is the position of those who claim superiority or even equality with it?

A 2006 Christmas and Hanukkah wish. May the Holy Days we celebrate remind us all of who we are, and how we are different from other peoples.
Current Democratic Party platform reveals anti-Semitic streak among Liberals. In their voting, their speechifying, and in the slant of their controlled mainstream media reporting, the current Democratic Party Platform is made clear to all observers.
The "Left", and The DaVinci Code, The Passion, and Cartoons of Mohammed. You can tell a lot about a movement by its public words. The Passion? "Unreservedly Bad." The DaVinci Code? "Unreservedly Good." Anything to do with Islam? "No Comment."
Who's driving the Health Care bus? Health insurance companies grading doctors? Health insurance companies grading doctors: a legitimized conflict of interest. A preparatory step toward the nationalization of the health insurance industry?

Some Problems with NuVo: the so-called Null-Vote Initiative. A "philosophical" movement aimed at keeping religious conservatives from voting? Seriously? Let me state my problems with NuVo.
Come, let us sit and reason together. Jews and Christians of various stripe and spot can say to each other, 'Come, let us sit and reason together.' But we can't do that with the Moslems.
Regarding SANE works dropping NuVo: Nul Vote Initiative dies with a whimper. If you can't really present a good argument, sit down. On SANE Works dropping the NuVo Initiative: a program that works hard to SOUND pro-American while ACTING to oppose American National Existence.

So how come we have all these homeless people if our system is so great? The strong "Utopian Idealist" firmly believes that absolute worldly perfection is actually possible. Therefore, there should never be any such thing as a hungry or homeless person.

During a dental examination, the dentist examines the soft tissues of the mouth for any abnormalities or pathology (including oral cancer), the teeth for tooth decay or defects, the gum tissues for periodontal (gum) disease, the neck for swollen lymph nodes, the amount of plaque, tartar, and debris on teeth, as well as the need to replace any missing teeth or dental prostheses. Regular examinations by a dentistry professional are crucial to maintaining your dental health and are a necessity in any dental care plan.
Dentists begin the dental examination with a complete dental and medical history, including medications the patient is currently taking. The skin of the face and neck is examined for any abnormalities, especially pigment changes. The lymph nodes in front and behind the ears, under the floor of the mouth and chin, and the midline of the neck, sides, and back of the neck are palpated to determine if any swelling or tenderness is present.
Inside of the mouth, the lips, cheeks, gums, and roof of the mouth are inspected and palpated. During this process, the tip of the tongue is placed on the roof of the mouth just behind the upper teeth for inspection of the front floor of the mouth and sides of the tongue.
The back floor of the mouth, the area behind the lower wisdom teeth, and the back sides of the tongue are inspected by grasping the tip of the tongue with a small gauze sponge and pulling the tongue forward and toward the opposite side of the mouth.
To inspect the back of the throat, soft palate, and tonsil area (sides of the throat), the tongue is depressed with a dental mirror or tongue blade and then a deep breath is taken by the patient.
To detect swelling on the floor of the mouth, the area inside the mouth is felt with the finger of one hand while a finger of the other hand feels below the chin. Salivary gland enlargement, saliva flow, or xerostomia (dry mouth) are determined by milking the major salivary glands to assess the quantity and consistency of saliva.
Today's dentist has many analytic tools available to pinpoint dental and oral diseases. The basic tools are the dental instruments, lights, and radiographs (X-rays). Depending upon the dentist and the individual's dentistry needs, additional diagnostic tests are available. Testing for essential proteins and buffering capacity can evaluate the protective ability of saliva.
To determine tooth decay risks, microbiological testing of saliva can measure the level of decay-producing organisms. Periodontal susceptibility tests, which test for the DNA of gum disease-producing organisms, can be performed to assess an individual's risk for gum disease.
If removable dentures are present, dentists check them for bite, retention, stability, and overall fit. Dental impressions or models also may be taken to study the mouth and tooth structures to initiate fabrication of prostheses. Photographs may be exposed for a variety of reasons, including before and after treatment comparisons.
The level of oral hygiene and home dental care practices are assessed and reviewed. Recommendations for home care devices and products may be made. Instruction and methods for maintaining a good oral hygiene regimen can also take place.
Once basic information about dental health status is gathered, the dentist will be better able to discuss dental care plans that are available.
By Denise J. Fedele, DMD, MS
The answer should be an emphatic "YES!" Fortunately, dentistry has developed new techniques for delivering local anesthetics painlessly. These techniques also assure that the anesthetics act more rapidly and produce a more "profound" level of anesthesia. Additionally, modern dental procedures utilize better technologies that are generally much less traumatic and invasive than those of the past. The result of these advancements is that patients should have minimal or no discomfort during the tooth numbing and/or treatment procedures. Root canal treatment should not cause pain, but rather relieve it when present and keep it from reoccurring. Unfortunately, dental pain may also have a psychological component, possibly stemming from a negative past experience, a story in the media, or even the fear of the unknown. Sometimes these situations can prove challenging for the patient and the dentist to control. Examples include:
These and other distresses are real to the patient. Much of the time, however, the distress can be reduced or eliminated if the patient discusses it with the dentist and gets understanding and reassurance. The doctor and the patient must work together in these situations to make certain that the patient feels as comfortable, trusting, and informed as possible in the dental environment. Most individuals can do this satisfactorily. If patients continue to feel significant distress, even after having these discussions with the dentists, they should be aware that there are supplementary modalities for which they might be candidates. These modalities include:
These sedative techniques and medicines may also be helpful if particularly lengthy treatment procedures are necessary in specific situations.
With all of the advancements in pharmaceuticals and in their delivery, there should be no need for any patient to delay root canal treatment because of fear that the treatment will be painful.
By Clifford J. Ruddle, DDS, in collaboration with Philip M. Smith, DDS
