The E.F. is now re-established and will find its place slowly but steadily. I have noticed a distinct move back in other areas to tradition and therefore to traditional doctrinal thinking. The main Sunday Mass in my cathedral is now a sung latin N.O. with the option of receiving Communion kneeling at the altar rails, and traditional latin vespers have been re-established. Silence is being re-introduced, often to the discomfort of the congregation, by priests, and in a recent parish meeting the priest has underlined the example of Communion reception at Papal Masses. <br /><br />All this is not by accident and would have been unthinkable before Summorum Pontificum.<br /><br />But time is needed!Jacobinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31069882.post-85952371881837258732009-09-12T18:07:50.352+01:002009-09-12T18:07:50.352+01:00Regularisation of the EF possibly opens the way to...Regularisation of the EF possibly opens the way to a variety of liturgical forms such as vernacular masses with the canon recited in silence or celebrated ad orientem.<br /><br />Where parishes are composed of several linguistic communities there is a need to do something to promote unity, with a stronger drive to making the EF the norm.Physiocrathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13682019625346594568noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31069882.post-11273160945452923112009-09-12T15:40:28.888+01:002009-09-12T15:40:28.888+01:00Thank you once again Father for your blogging.

This is another of your posts where you come at an issue from a different angle from others whilst offering analysis which is balanced, thought provoking and faithful.Hippolytushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10878627497303568520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31069882.post-69703584232074168622009-09-12T15:01:32.798+01:002009-09-12T15:01:32.798+01:00"What the Pope has done is to give his blessi..."What the Pope has done is to give his blessing to a grassroots movement, which includes . . . morals."<br /><br />Morals, I should hope so. We can start with usury. It's one of my favourite topics of study. After long deliberation marred only by the unavailability of Cardinal Hostiensis' enumeration of as many as thirteen extrinsic titles, I have come to the following conclusions.<br /><br /><i>Lucrum cessans</i> (opportunity cost), and <i>periculum sortis</i> (risk of non-recovery of the principal) are not really titles to a charge over and above the principal, save that <i>periculum sortis</i> is admissible only when enforcement of the principal is for jurisdictional reasons unavailable.<br /><br />Otherwise, in contracting for the enforceable repayment of the entire principal the moneylender by definition contracts out of risk and may not claim a title of <i>periculum sortis,</i> which ceases to exist in any event to the extent that the principal is in fact paid.<br /><br /><i>Poena conventalis</i> (damages consequent on breach of contract) is not a title to interest, but to damages controllable by the court. English law allows <i>poena conventalis</i> to be contracted for, but only as an upper limit to damages an injured party can claim, and will not allow it to be used in punishment of the defaulter.<br /><br /><i>Damnum emergens</i> is legitimate for an occasional lender in indemnification of the expenses actually incurred in arranging a loan, but not as a title to a pre-specified percentage of the principal.<br /><br />For someone in business as a moneylender the only legitimate extrinsic title is <i>praemium legale,</i> a standard or bespoke service charge, calculated according to the value of the service itself (not a percentage of the principal), which must cover the costs and the occupational hazards which every businessman must face as such.Michael Petekhttp://www.crownofdavid.comnoreply@blogger.com
