Embroidery Examples of Papal Arms
Lovely craftasmanship.
Would be nice to see a revival of this sort of thing.
In India artisans are still able to reproduce such beauty.

Lost Vestments of St. Peter's Basilica
Sadly, in a fit of modernization, much of the nice stuff was given away in recent years.
They kept a lot of the copes for vespers.
Of what remains, the maniples are missing.
This pianeta, like so many others, is now part of a private collection.
I imagine most of it was cleared out in the 1970s.
A cultural and artistic loss.

IL NOSTRO PADRE SPIRITUALE
Il Coordinamento Nazionale del Summorum Pontificum (CNSP)
preso atto con filiale rispetto del particolare momento di riflessione
chiesto dalla Sede Apostolica alla Congregazione dei Frati Francescani
dell’Immacolata, volendo evitare ogni indebito giudizio in questioni
interne ad un Istituto Religioso di diritto pontificio, esprime,
tuttavia, viva preoccupazione che le nuove disposizioni relative alla
celebrazione della forma straordinaria del rito romano da parte dei RR.
Padri della Congregazione possano in qualche modo privare numerosi coetus fidelium del prezioso servizio liturgico sin qui loro assicurato.
Una
simile circostanza rischierebbe, in concreto, di ostacolare l’esercizio
di un diritto dei fedeli – riconosciuto e regolato dalle norme generali
del Motu Proprio Summorum Pontificum e dall’Istruzione Universae Ecclesiae - a suo tempo disposto dalla mente di S.S. Benedetto XVI a maggior gloria di Dio e a santificazione del Suo Popolo, “discordiam vitando et totius Ecclesiae unitatem fovendo” (SP - art. 5, § 1).
Il
CNSP confida, pertanto, che gli Ecc.mi Vescovi e le altre Autorità
Ecclesiastiche competenti vogliano provvedere con paterna sollecitudine
ad assicurare la regolarità delle celebrazioni delle SS. Messe nella
forma straordinaria e in particolare per quei coetus fidelium finora
affidati al fecondo apostolato della Congregazione dei Frati
Francescani dell’Immacolata, affinché tutti i fedeli che lo desiderano
possano continuare a vivere la loro Fede secondo il ritmo della forma
straordinaria della Sacra Liturgia, in un vero sentire cum Ecclesia.
Per sostenere questo impegno, il Coordinamento invita ad elevare fervide preghiere alla SS.ma Vergine Maria Immacolata perché i tanti coetus fidelium che si stanno costituendo ricevano sempre l’attenta cura pastorale dei loro Ordinari e il Motu Proprio sia pienamente applicato in ogni diocesi.

We Support Padre Stefano
Axios! La sacra dignitas.
Padre Stefano Manelli, FFI. A living saint. Our modern Seraphic Father.
He received his First Holy Communion from Padre Pio in 1938. The closest thing to a mystic you might ever meet. His whole family are saints. Amazing people. I love spending time with them.
We stand in support of Padre Stefano and his Congregatio Fratrum Franciscanorum Immaculatae. He has simply sought the spirituality of St. Padre Pio, St, Max Kolbe and St. Francis of Assisi.
When the good guys are persecuted by the Curia it often follows the same pattern: a calumnious petition against a good guy sent to the Holy Office. Filed by some abdominable colleague and followed by a humiliating scolding and an even more humiliating punishment. The same things happened to (St.) Padre Pio himself. Being called ad pedes (to give account after being attacked and maligned). Being sided against. But this comes with the territory. The tough road to sanctity. Being purified. Obedience to the Church is supreme. At the word "Church" Padre Pio often bowed in a devout manner. He once said: "First the Church and then I will take into consideration Its ingenious ruiners or constructors." Our Lady will sort this one out.

Camping in the Fields of Rome
I took this photo near Ostia. Kids camping where the Roman legions of old camped. A beautiful sight to behold.
Brings back lots of childhood memories. Camping with canvas prospector tents and enamelware and cast iron cookware.
A fine activity for youth and adults alike.
