Dicastery for Divine Worship and the Discipline of the Sacraments

What would you say about such a thing?

Well, there's a document from the Congregation of Divine Worship called the Directory on Popular Piety, which specifically talks about sort of healthy and unhealthy devotion to angels, among many other things, but it's in there.

It says specifically not to name your guardian angel.

Okay.

First Church Law.

Following the event in South Africa, the Congregation for Divine Worship and the Sacraments in Rome made clear once again on March 31st at the Vatican what I had assumed every bishop and priest has always known and practiced.

I quote, Since this is a person who is not a Catholic, he cannot be admitted to Eucharistic Communion.

This is a canonical norm, and therefore no bishops' conference can advance a different rule.

And all of this is laid out in a document from Pope Paul VI called, let me see if I have the name of it here, it's called Memoriale Domini, the Memorial of the Lord.

And in that, it was issued by the Sacred Congregation for Divine Worship.

This was in 1969.

And in this, it lays this all out.

It is also significant that not one bishop in the UK will allow either the Fraternity of St. Peter or the Institute of Christ the King to establish parishes here.

The mind of the Holy See with regard to the traditional Mass was made clear by Cardinal Medina Estevez, Prefect of the Congregation for Divine Worship and the Discipline of the Sacraments, in his letter Protocol 1411-99, dated 18 October 1999.

In the course of this letter, the Cardinal stated, quote, Those who enjoy the benefit of the indult granted by the moda propria ecclesia de ad flicta may use this form freely both in private and in public in the churches and at the times expressly appointed for the faithful.

The Holy See urges bishops to be extremely tolerant to those of Christ faithful who wish to participate in the sacred liturgy in accordance with the previous liturgical books and to keep their sensibilities constantly before their eyes.
