Our weekly paper will be published this afternoon, starting a parallel series: Membership of the Church

This week's post: first part of our Membership of the Church series. Who is a member and how does this relate to the Church's perpetual visibility?

This week's post: as restrictions are supposedly lifting, what are we to make of the suppressions of public worship in 2020?

Do we even have the right to worship other than as our Catholic forefathers did?

Today we have published Part II in our series on Membership of the Church, focusing on baptism - the first of the three requirements of membership.

Are all the baptised members of the Church, in degrees of communion? Why is it necessary?

Pope Honorius and Roberto de Mattei - Part II: “Undoubtedly Magisterial Acts”?

Discussing, among other things: What is the magisterium? When is the pope a private person? And was Newman really a "papal minimalist"?

From the 54-Day Rosary Novena Channel:

Mon 2nd Aug: Join us in a 54-day, 15-decade novena for a complete and immediate end to the tyranny oppressing our nation, for our spiritual and temporal needs for any struggles ahead, and for the liberty and exaltation of our Holy Mother the Church.

The time for prayer has never been more urgent; Our Lady has promised that the Holy Rosary has been given special power in our times. Let us take her at her word.

This novena is traditionally divided into two:

First 27 days: for the intentions
Second 27 days: thanksgiving for the graces given.

Intentions:
1. For the immediate end of the current tyranny, and the conversion of the wicked;
2. For the spiritual and temporal necessities for any struggles ahead;
3. For the triumph of the Church.

Those who cannot say 15 decades due to state of life are asked to offer at least 5 for these intentions. If you miss the 2nd Aug, join us anyway.

"We need once more to draw on the example of the English martyrs and their immense love for the Church and for the true good of the English nation, the precious Dowry of Our Lady."

We are pleased to publish Part III of our Membership of the Church series. Are public heretics members? What does it mean to publicly profess the true faith?

What is the ordinary and universal magisterium, and is it limited to things believed always, everywhere and by all?

How the ordinary magisterium expresses itself – Chapter IIIa of Fr J.M.A. Vacant’s nineteenth-century work on the magisterium

https://wmreview.co.uk/2021/09/10/vacant-oum-chapter-iiia/

The long-awaited Part IIIa of our study on Pope Honorius, the so-called "heretic pope," and his treatment by Professor Roberto de Mattei. These next two parts deal with de Mattei's claim that the ordinary magisterium can teach errors and even "heretical formulations." We address the Catholic rule of faith and distorted, mechanistic views of infallibility.

Honorius and de Mattei IIIb: Magisterial Heresy? Trust in the Church.

If not every teaching is infallibly assisted, does that mean that the Church can teach heresy? What sort of trust should we place in the Church and why?
