For 2,000 years, Catholic women have veiled themselves before entering a church or any time they are in the presence of the Blessed Sacrament (e.g., during sick calls). It was written into the 1917 Code of Canon Law, Canon 1262, that women must cover their heads -- "especially when they approach the holy table" ("mulieres autem, capite cooperto et modeste vestitae, maxime cum ad mensam Dominicam accedunt") -- but during the Second Vatican Council, Bugnini (a Freemason) was asked by journalists if women would still have to cover their heads. His reply, perhaps innocently enough, was that the issue was not being discussed. The journalists took his answer as a "no," and printed their misinformation in newspapers all over the world. Since then, many Catholic women have lost the tradition.

By Fr. Fromageot [FSSP]

"The religion born of faith in Jesus Christ, the Incarnate Son of God and the only Savior of humankind, is the only religion positively willed by God. The opinion is, therefore, wrong that says that just as God positively wills the diversity of the male and female sexes and the diversity of nations, so in the same way he also wills the diversity of religions."

This #book is the work of the TFP’s Committee on #American Issues which put together the research and observations.

Fr. John Trigilio called it “an erudite, succinct and accurate diagnosis of the current sex scandal climate in Catholic America.”

Both practical and theological, I Have Weathered Other Storms is a key to understanding and responding to one of the worst crisis in American Catholic #history.

The Human Soul Exists and Is Immaterial
- Man is constantly engaged in abstract concepts and immaterial realities.
- Man has immaterial powers (mind and will). These can’t come from his body. Animals do not have
these powers. Immaterial powers must necessarily come from an immaterial source.
- You can’t give what you don’t have. Matter can not manipulate that which is immaterial.
- Scientists are unable to discover the soul, for man’s physical senses can’t detect the immaterial.

To Heliodorus

One of Jerome's finest letters, written to console his old friend, Heliodorus, now Bp. of Altinum, for the loss of his nephew Nepotian who had died of fever a short time previously. Jerome tries to soothe his friend's grief (1) by contrasting pagan despair or resignation with Christian hope, (2) by an eulogy of the departed both as man and presbyter, and (3) by a review of the evils which then beset the Empire and from which, as he contended, Nepotian had been removed. The letter is marked throughout with deep and sincere feeling. Its date is 396 A.D.
