To British Catholics the Church is not controlled by a foreigner. She is controlled by the Vicar of Christ. It would be just the same if St. Peter were still there to-day, and he was a Palestinian Jew. If a Frenchman or an Englishman were elected, no Italian Catholic would regard the Pope as Pope […]

It nowhere says that they were not, and implicitly demands that they should be. Radio Replies Volume 1 by Rev. Dr. Leslie Rumble MSC and Rev. Charles Mortimer Carty

Then she is a very poor agent indeed. She would be far more efficient if she cried out, “Sin does not matter—go ahead. Confession is nonsense. Eat anything you like on Fridays, the day on which Christ died. Marriage does not bind, divorce yourselves whenever you like. Continence is absurd. Artificial birth-control is progress. Don’t

And at McCabe’s maximum, the individual Priest would receive the average income

Christ said, “If thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments.” Now one of these commandments is, “Remember that thou keep holy the sabbath day.” Thus God demands the sanctification of one day in seven in a special way. His very use of the word “Remember” implies a grave obligation not to forget or omit
