Five reasons why Latin should not be abandoned

Last updated on: February 27, 2018 at 10:56 pm By M° Aurelio Porfiri

There were many talks about the usefulness of Latin language in the catholic liturgy in recent years. I don’t think being a fanatic of Latin has any use, but disregard this glorious language can be certainly dangerous. I have five reasons to affirm this. Here they are: Latin is universal, not particular. Latin unites and not divides. When I meet a Chinese or Indian that is my brother in the same faith, we can pray together singing in a language...

Between extraordinary and ordinary form

Last updated on: February 25, 2018 at 5:52 pm By M° Aurelio Porfiri

There is a current misunderstanding amongst some Catholics in that those attending the Extraordinary Form (EF) of the Roman Rite are against those attending the Ordinary Form (OF) of the same Rite.

Following the confidences of the Jesuit Father Silvano Fausti, who passed away not long ago, we must agree that the conclave which elected Benedict XVI was the result of a compromise between the conservative wing, represented by Cardinal Ratzinger, and the progressive wing, represented by Cardinal Martini .

For the Sister that trained me to pray in Latin

Last updated on: February 21, 2018 at 5:17 pm By M° Aurelio Porfiri

“Dear Sister, I don’t even know if you are still alive or not. You may not remember me, I was that altar boy that you have trained, 30 years ago”. This is how I would start a letter for the Sister that thought me to pray in Latin. She was quite aged already at the time and I was so young and full energy. I served as altar boy in my Parish and she was in charge of our formation.... Read more
