The VerbumQUO
  This series is intended to identify one key word and sum up that word to help the faithful focus on the message Holy Mother Church conveys each day so the faithful can better understand the magnificent correlation of Sacred Scripture in the Daily Proper of the Mass. It is also our hope that in choosing the Latin word with its meaning and etimology more will be attuned to hearing Latin read at the altar and better comprehend the beauty of the Mother tongue. Editor Michael Cain has taken the Latin Verbum and Quotidianum, which mean respectively "Word" and "Daily", and coined the word "VerbumQUO" for the title of this series by contracting quotidianum to quo and running it together as Verbumquo; thus the "Daily Word", as in the sum of the message, the 'quotient', if you will. The VerbumQUO for today is "tolle" the demonstrative verb for "take up", taken from today's Epistle on this Thursday of the Fourth Week of Lent to show the prefigurement of Christ in Eliseus. The theme of taking up the Faith, being lifted up in grace by the Holy Ghost is carried throughout today's Proper as a follow-up to yesterday's Proper for the Feria of the Great Scrutiny. It is a reinforcement to catechumens and the baptized alike to "take up" the life of grace by embracing our crosses for there can be no Resurrection without the Cross. Cain explains in Take up the Cross!
Christ or chaos
  With all the speculation going on about what modern Rome plans to "offer" the Society of St. Pius X in their appeasement process to "rein in" the "ultra-Traditionalists" as the conciliar press reports erroneously, Dr. Thomas A. Droleskey weighs in with an article, originally posted on his site this past Monday (the fourth birthday of his and his wife Sharon's daughter Lucy Mary Norma), in which Tom documented known abuses of heresy, apostasy and immorality that have gone on unchecked, and yet, at the slightest sign of orthodoxy and faithfulness to the Faith of our Fathers and the Immemorial Mass of All Ages, all hell has broken loose in attacking God's precious priests who are preserving the Faith amidst so much persecution. Tom asks how can these conciliar ecclesiasts (who we call "potentates" of their lodges - as in Masonic to the core), can be trusted to evaluate and provide a fair forum and structure for a "super diocese" that would be free of the local ordinary's interference. It seems nigh unto impossible considering the sly foxes ruling the henhouses today as Tom provides

 This series is intended to identify one key word and sum up that word to help the faithful focus on the message Holy Mother Church conveys each day so the faithful can better understand the magnificent correlation of Sacred Scripture in the Daily Proper of the Mass. It is also our hope that in choosing the Latin word with its meaning and etimology more will be attuned to hearing Latin read at the altar and better comprehend the beauty of the Mother tongue. Editor Michael Cain has taken the Latin Verbum and Quotidianum, which mean respectively "Word" and "Daily", and coined the word "VerbumQUO" for the title of this series by contracting quotidianum to quo and running it together as Verbumquo; thus the "Daily Word", as in the sum of the message, the 'quotient', if you will. The VerbumQUO for today is "lava" the demonstrative verb for "wash", taken from today's Epistle and Gospel on this Wednesday of the Fourth Week of Lent - known as "the Feria of the Great Scrutiny" - and, it is with this kind of scrutiny that we must wash ourselves - submerge our souls in - so that we can remember why we are Catholic. Thanks to the prolific writings of the venerable Benedictine Abbot Dom Gueranger in the mid 19th century, we can see the beauty of the conversion journey for catechumens and Cain shares the significance and words of this faith-firming ceremony on this day in illustrating how much has been lost with the wreckovation of the Truths and Traditions. Cain explains in Let that laver of grace flow freely in our lives.
On the BattleLine
   As a follow-up to last Tuesday's excellent, thought-provoking, concluding installment on "Homosexuality's Dirty Secret" by Griff Ruby and the consequent obvious roots of communism, we bring you, in our "Gems from the Past" series, the very first article submitted by Atila Sinke Guimarães to this site nearly five years ago. It is more timely today than even then in light of the pandering to Moscow and now Beijing, and the mushrooming sodomite caldron boiling within nearly every chancery and the curia as well. Atila asks why Vatican II did not condemn Communism? A convent outside of the village of Metz, France near Paris was the scene of a secret accord in 1962 that holds that answer - answers that directly contradicted the Blessed Mother's message at Fatima and led to the inevitable 38 years later with the release of a trumped-up Third Secret to cover the apostasy in the Church and the Communist connection that sold out countless Catholics behind the iron-curtain. He provides all the answers you need in his excellent documentation on
The Pact of Metz.
The VerbumQUO
 Editor Michael Cain has taken the Latin Verbum and Quotidianum, which mean respectively "Word" and "Daily", and coined the word "VerbumQUO" for the title of this series by contracting quotidianum to quo and running it together as Verbumquo; thus the "Daily Word", as in the sum of the message, the 'quotient', if you will. This is intended to identify one key word and sum up that word to help the faithful focus on the message Holy Mother Church conveys so the faithful can better understand the magnificent correlation of Sacred Scripture in the Daily Proper of the Mass. It is also our hope that in choosing the Latin word with its meaning and etimology more will be attuned to hearing Latin read at the altar and better comprehend the beauty of the Mother tongue. The VerbumQUO today is Exáudi, which is the Latin for the demonstrative verb "hear" taken from today's opening Introit and Offertory, not to mention the response at the end of the Prayers at the Foot of the Altar. The problem is, do we really hear Jesus' words? If so, why are we not acting on them fully? Cain explains in Hear Him Here and Now!
Doctors of the Church
 
In honor of today's Double Feast of the holy Doctor of the Church Saint John Damascene, we present a "Gems from the Past" profile from four years ago in our chronological series on the Doctors of the Church. St. John was the most remarkable of the Greek writers of the 8th century. He stood up strongly to false doctrines and led the defenders of the orthodox Catholic faith against the iconoclast movement of the Byzantine regime. Greatly persecuted by the iconoclast emperors, St. John's own right hand was severed and, in a show to deter those venerating images, the cruel emperor had St. John's hand displayed in the square. But Our Lady intervened and miraculously had it reconnected to St. John's wrist with no signs of scars.
He was known as the last of the Greek Fathers and one whom greatly inspired the Angelic Doctor several centuries later - Saint Thomas Aquinas as well as his words serving as the stop-gap answer for the counter-revolution at the holy Council of Trent. He was the defender of the orthodox Catholic treasure of Faith, the Pourer of Gold.
The VerbumQUO
 Editor Michael Cain has taken the Latin Verbum and Quotidianum, which mean respectively "Word" and "Daily", and coined the word "VerbumQUO" for the title of this series by contracting quotidianum to quo and running it together as Verbumquo; thus the "Daily Word", as in the sum of the message, the 'quotient', if you will. This is intended to identify one key word and sum up that word to help the faithful focus on the message Holy Mother Church conveys so the faithful can better understand the magnificent correlation of Sacred Scripture in the Daily Proper of the Mass. It is also our hope that in choosing the Latin word with its meaning and etimology more will be attuned to hearing Latin read at the altar and better comprehend the beauty of the Mother tongue. The VerbumQUO today is manum, which is the Latin for "hand" taken from today's Introit and Gospel and so perfectly represents the dedication of today's Saint - the holy Doctor of the Church Saint John Damascene - the great crusader against the iconoclasts. He was not afraid to go against the grain to uphold truth, just as Christ was not to be detained or belittled by the Pharisees for healing a man's withered hand on the Sabbath. Cain explains in Give Him a Hand!
"Qui legit, intelligat"
  In Father Louis Campbell's sermon for the Fourth Sunday of Lent, he shows the reason why we should rejoice on this Laetáre Sunday for, as the Epistle proclaims, we are, indeed freed of the bondage of the bond-woman and have, as the Gospel asserts, the Bread of Life in the midst of the desert. How fitting for these times when only in the oases of the traditional churches and chapels, do those, who have remained faithful to Christ's promises and all He asks, have the continual nourishment of the Most Blessed Sacrament confected by true priests which, as Father expresses, is his greatest joy when he offers "through Christ, with Christ, and in Christ, the one, perfect and acceptable Sacrifice to God the Father, in which Jesus Christ is both Priest and Victim." That is the reason for our greatest joy and should not only sustain us in the desert that the conciliar church has become, but attract many others who have been parched because the Pasch remains a mirage to them in the church of Vatican II; a new religion which has purged the beautiful Immemorial Mass of All Ages and the rich liturgy that has fed countless souls for nearly 2000 years. The shepherds of this new religion stubbornly forge on in the heresy of a "common homeland" where all will be rewarded in Heaven without realizing Christ's assurance that salvation can only come through Him - "the Truth, the Way and the Life." The joy of the many mansions in Heaven can only be reached through the narrow gate and only the One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church holds the key to that gate for the children of promise to enter as Father points out in his sermon
The Children of Promise

It is also our hope that in choosing the Latin word with its meaning and etimology more will be attuned to hearing Latin read at the altar and better comprehend the beauty of the Mother tongue. The VerbumQUO today is Laetáre, which is the Latin for "Rejoice" taken from today's Introit and interspersed throughout as the theme of today's Propers that give us cause to rejoice in the joy of being freed and heirs of Heaven as members of Christ's True Church - the new Jerusalem which provides, through the merits of Christ, the everlasting miracle of the Bread of Life Cain explains in The Cause of our Joy
Catholic PewPOINT
    Editor Michael Cain initiates a series he first produced four years ago. Today he updates it in light of the trickery and blatant apostasy so evident in the heresies and those being empowered by the very offenders. He presents the first part of a series in preparation for Good Friday on the analogy of the Mystical Body of Christ with the Sorrowful Mysteries. Today he focuses on the first Sorrowful Mystery - the Agony in the Garden - and how it correlates with the time from the Protestant Reformation up to Vatican II. He illustrates how Christ saw all the evil and subterfuge while weeping in the Garden of Mount Olivet, but His humanity and resolve to love us unconditionally even to giving His Own life was buoyed by the goodness and fruits His lambs produced during this 450-year interval leading up to the time of exile which is now well into its 47th year. Cain illustrates also the Catholic conditions on which Bishop Fellay and all Traditional Catholics should bargain for; without which: no deal. Cain explains in part one of the Sorrowful Mysteries
Silence of the Lambs 2006-style!

 Editor Michael Cain has taken the Latin Verbum and Quotidianum, which mean respectively "Word" and "Daily", and coined the word "VerbumQUO" for the title of this series by contracting quotidianum to quo and running it together as Verbumquo; thus the "Daily Word", as in the sum of the message, the 'quotient', if you will.

It is also our hope that in choosing the Latin word with its meaning and etimology more will be attuned to hearing Latin read at the altar and better comprehend the beauty of the Mother tongue. The VerbumQUO naturally for today is gratia, which is the Latin noun "Grace" as taken from the Proper for the Feast of the Annunciation in the Gradual, Gospel and Offertory. Cain explains in "Blessed is the fruit of thy womb"
Gabriel's Clarion
    In honor of his namesake, we bring you one of Gabriel Garnica's "Gems from the Past" from two years ago in which he clarioned forth a beautiful melody of the example we can take from the Archangel Gabriel and his message for the Blessed Virgin Mary that would giver her the opportunity to say 'yes' to God. From that point on it would always be 'yes' even though her Immaculate Sorrowful Heart was so pierced - seven times, and many times over by the children of God who have so offended her Divine Son by their rejection of His truths and true Church. Gabriel reminds us of another who said 'yes' and that was St. Francis of Assisi in rebuilding Christ's Church. Not an easy task, just as today our task is not easy, but no great opus was ever accomplished without much effort and persistence. Only by being in tune with the harmonious orchestra of Divine Will can we expect the Symphony of Sanctity to reach Heavenly ears and hearts as Gabriel explained in his column Let the Master Play The Divine Music!.
The VerbumQUO
 Editor Michael Cain has taken the Latin Verbum and Quotidianum, which mean respectively "Word" and "Daily", and coined the word "VerbumQUO" for the title of this series by contracting quotidianum to quo and running it together as Verbumquo; thus the "Daily Word", as in the sum of the message, the 'quotient', if you will.

It is also our hope that in choosing the Latin word with its meaning and etimology more will be attuned to hearing Latin read at the altar and better comprehend the beauty of the Mother tongue. The VerbumQUO today is missus, which is the Latin verb "was sent" as in 'he was sent' as in the Archangel Gabriel being sent first to Daniel, then Zachary, then the Blessed Virgin Mary, then the Shepherds and finally to Our Lord Himself during His agony in the Garden to console and strengthen Him. For Gabriel, as Cain explains, it was Mission Accomplished!
Faithful to Tradition
  As we reach the mid-way point of Lent, John Gregory files an account of his own personal journey to Truth. He hopes that by sharing the obstacles and questions he faced, others will have the courage to get up out of their rut and challenge those who cannot give honest answers. As long as those in the conciliar church continue to be mindless robots blindly obeying whatever they're told, they will not realize they are being greatly deceived and their own salvation in peril. The path John took parallels many others who have discovered what was wrong and got off their duffs because they valued the welfare of their souls. It is a difficult journey, a lonely one, and one that leads inevitably back to the catacombs where the Truths and Traditions remain the same for the truth can never be altered and never has been or will be at the Altars where the True Latin Mass is said. John presents his candid account of
The Journey to Truth

It is also our hope that in choosing the Latin word with its meaning and etimology more will be attuned to hearing Latin read at the altar and better comprehend the beauty of the Mother tongue. The VerbumQUO today is habitabo, which is the Latin verb in first person future for "I will dwell", taken from today's Epistle from the words given to the Prophet Jeremias which are a prophesy come true for Catholics for Jesus indeed dwells with us in the Most Blessed Sacrament of the Altar. Cain explains in More need to dwell on Where He dwells
Miters that Matter
 
We share this in light of the buildup and buzz that has been circulating around the internet over the past month or so about a possible "reconciliation" between the Society of St. Pius X and modern Rome. It has been announced that all the bishops are together on the decision. Well, on the eve of the supposed subject being brought up by the conciliarists for a most apprehensive meeting of curia and conciliar cardinals with Benedict XVI, what Bishop Richard Williamson shares in his latest comments should assuage those who fear the SSPX will sell out. He points to the very semantics of Our Lady's words at Fatima which tell volumes of what is truly contained within the Third Secret; a secret still shielded from the eyes of the faithful because of the deception carried out by the very ones the Blessed Mother was warning her children of, the very ones convening tomorrow in modern Rome. Yes, indeed, a new religion, forged in forgery, has brought Our Lady's words true, even though only a few know those true words. And those who do, are covering it up for reasons that go against all Heaven wills. All the more reason to believe His Excellency will never go for any kind of a compromise short of a total return to Tradition. He puts it clearly in "The Dogma of the Faith"

It is also our hope that in choosing the Latin word with its meaning and etimology more will be attuned to hearing Latin read at the altar and better comprehend the beauty of the Mother tongue. The VerbumQUO today is fructum, which is the Latin for "fruit", taken from today's Gospel for the feast of Saint Isidore who produced fruit galore literally and figuratively in tilling God's fields. Cain explains in Outstanding in the field!
The STRAIGHT STUFF
    We present Griff Ruby's concluding installment of his series on how sodomy has gained such a deadly foothold in society today. Though he is not one to propound theories or ever go off on a tangent on conspiracies that are not built on facts. But he has several facts where the only syllogism possible is that the culprit is satan, and his vehicle was Communism. Our Lady warned us at La Salette and Fatima; Our Lord foretold it in Matthew 24; Former Soviet Agents have admitted it, and it all makes perfect sense in the great charade played out within the conciliar church and its cozy, convenient Pact of Metz which, in effect, said 'hands off' the Reds, get your hands in the beds of young boys. Sick? Yes, and that is exactly what sodomy is and how it could very well have infiltrated the Church over the last century and caused the rot we are left with today. Griff's summation makes perfect sense in explaining how a sin, that cries to Heaven for vengeance, went from a perverted disorder to a civil right and so permeated the church of Vatican II. While the sodomite lobbyists claim to be a "victim" so oppressed by narrow-minded "bigots", it is all a smokescreen that clouds their real agenda, to pervert society and hold them hostage to the devil. Hold the sympathy, for in the darkness they have a dark and dirty secret they don't want the public to realize and that is that the Communists have infiltrated every facet of society and the hierarchy. It all makes sense as Griff illustrates in
Homosexuality's Dirty Secret Part Two

It is also our hope that in choosing the Latin word with its meaning and etimology more will be attuned to hearing Latin read at the altar and better comprehend the beauty of the Mother tongue. The VerbumQUO today is benedictióne, which is the Latin for "benediction", taken from today's Epistle, and a perfect way to remember today's saint whose feast we celebrate: Saint Benedict. He was a blessing to all he touched during his life and ever after from his heavenly perch. Today he and the holy Rule he established are needed more than ever when everything else is falling apart. Cain explains in The Rule Rules!

Two years after we went all out to promote a film - The Passion of The Christ, we're doing just the opposite this year by imploring all Traditional Catholics to support the Boycott of the fiendish film due out this Spring called The DaVinci Code for it is full of blasphemous deceit. It misconstrues so many things Catholic, and is all built on false premises. The only way for Hollywood to hear is to hit them in the wallet.
