Pius XI, Quas Primas, 1925
This state of things may perhaps be attributed to a certain slowness and timidity in good people, who are reluctant to engage in conflict or oppose but a weak resistance; thus the enemies of the Church become bolder in their attacks. But if the faithful were generally to understand that it behooves them ever to fight courageously under the banner of Christ their King, then, fired with apostolic zeal, they would strive to win over to their Lord those hearts that are bitter and estranged from him, and would valiantly defend his rights.

Thanks for this, very good
although I do wish they'd show just little more respect for some of the Bishops on there. They writing is too crass and disrespectful, they are still clergy even if they sometimes acting against our best interests.
I do worry that there is a fine line between clericalism and slipping over to Protestantim where we tell the clergy what to do?
On the otherhand.. Talking of Bishops who ignore the Pope...Again I was disapointed to read this newsletter and still find no provision Traditional Latin Mass in Paisley Diocese?
Can you please tell me if there has been any movement or discussion on this at all?
It seems Summorum Pontificum has been ignored here. Dearly I would love to hear the Latin Mass in my own Diocese, Indeed why should I have to travel to Glasgow from Inverclyde. It seems we can get charismatic renewal on tap but not TLM
Many Thanks and God Bless
This particular issue doesn't focus on named bishops. However, although we agree that criticism should be as respectful as possible, criticism is not only permissible but (canon law reminds us) can be an obligation.
And in a situation where criticism is needed, what sort of people are going to step forward to do it? We all wish those clever 'conservative Catholic intellectuals' would but they very rarely do.
