Unwilling to Resist?

A Viennese monastery famous for its chart-topping chant album is also breaking records for vocations. What is the secret of its success? (via Cal Catholic Daily)

In the main photo there is apparently a female altar server, probably one of the visitors at the monastery for their "Youth Vigil." Was that really a pastorally necessary choice?

Female Lectors

NLM: "Should Women Be Lectors at Mass?" An Interesting Article at OnePeterFive

Do chanting female lectors hold the attention of men better than those who read either in monotone or with expression?

An Important Ecumenical Work

Though it is probably not intended as such; this collection of essays will be a good source on the best of Latin theology on this topic for Byzantine theologians and bishops?

Divinization, Liturgy, and Evangelization
July 08, 2015
A new volume of essays shows how the proper context for thinking about divinization is the liturgy, for God has chosen the liturgy as the primary locus for communicating his divine life

Ah, But Which Liturgy?

Joseph Shaw on the Reform of the Reform

Check Pertinacious Papist for the links.

Unfortunately he upholds the traditionalist position about the "contemplative" nature of the liturgy against a notion of active participation based on intelligibility. He would not accept liturgical spirituality as expounded by the greats of the 20th century liturgical movement. How many of the great saints that he cites were religious or clerics who had an understanding of Latin? And how many of those who did not understand Latin were sanctified in spite of not understanding the liturgy but rather by the grace of the Eucharist nourishing a spirit of prayer and attentiveness separate from liturgical participation? How many beginners are capable of that?

Latin traditionalists will not be easy to convince; while the EF should be made available to them because it is pastorally warranted they should not be surprised if their children seek alternatives to nourish them spiritually.

Any possibility of a decent English translation of the EF or the Sarum use gaining wider use?
