Found out about what?

That St. Teresa prayed for the repose of Judas’s soul.

Did you also know that Pilates wife was reckoned a saint by the Eastern Orthodox (St. Claudia Procula). I thought that was interesting.

Caesar: I don’t think it’s an official change! I think it was just a one time deal. I wouldn’t get excited over this.

I dont get that impression from the article. And even if it is a one-time thing, think about the effects of this- the traditional Stations of the Corss wouldnt anger anyone or cause controversy, but this sure is.

Well, I wouldn’t like it either, but I don’t think we should take the word of the secular press on this. The stations were different on the different Good Friday’s of Pope John Paul II’s reign and nothing changed for the whole of the Church.

She must have been to put up with him. 😃
 
Besides, the words of this Monsignor seem to suggest that the Church should rid Herself of extra-Biblical traditions.

With all due respect to the late Pontiff, there are some things from his reign that should have died with him.

I agree with JKirk, let’s not get all excited about it. Pope John Paul II did this 15 years ago and nothing has changed.

The problem is the writer of the article making it seem like Pope Benedict XVI is going to change the stations of the cross. I highly doubt that is going to happen. It sounds more like wishful thinking on the part of the author.

However, TNT is right. The way to destroy a religion is to sever its traditions.

That’s a subjective opinion, Caesar, and one to which you are certainly entitled, but subjective nonetheless. Our current pope has spent a great deal of time lauding him. AND John Paul II DIDN’T change the Stations, yet you all seem to think Benedict WILL, on rather flimsy evidence.

No one said will-nilly. Revolutionaries ALWAYS have a serious reason.
To wit:
To destroy a Religion, you must first sever its traditions.

So Mons. Farasi and the Pope are revoluntionaries, and they’re out to destroy the Church? Is that actually what you’re saying?

Good heavens…
 
Caesar said:
Does EVERYTHING demand change? Is it not enough that the Mass, and the Rites for the Sacraments, and the Divine Office, and inumerable prayers and litanies, and the Liturgical Calendar, and Holy Days of Obligations, and God knows what else had to be changed?

Ooooh, I’m steamed now… :mad:

But we gotta go along with that wrecking ball of the spirit of Vatican II, dont we? Where to next? Hmmm, some of those Marian Dogmas are lookin’ a little too extra-biblical if you ask me- gotta be ecumenical now, unite ourselves with our protestant brothers and sisters, appease the liberals and the heretics…

And more and more I am starting to see why the SSPX has so many problems with the Church today…

It seems that the wrecking ball has only begun. Who knows how many more changes are to occur.😦
 
Wow, JP2 already tampered with the Holy Rosary, and now come to find out the Stations of the Cross! Is there ANY aspect of our religion JP2 left alone without putting his own spin on? He will certainly be remembered for promoting novelty and being innovative.

This is what disturbs me most of all. It seems to be ignoring Sacred Tradition and that is what separates us from the Protestants

Perhaps this sums up the unneccessary kerfuffle around this article and in this thread:

The way you say “Sacred Tradition” suggests that you believe the Way of the Cross is on a par with, say, the doctrine of the Assumption of Mary. It’s not!
So this reworking of the Way is not “ignoring Sacred Tradition” - it’s not even ignoring simple old ordinary tradition.

Rather, it’s following tradition in the way it develops the form or pattern of this devotion, which has changed over the years.

St. Isidore: Do you believe that Benedict XVI, John Paul II, John Paul I, Paul VI, and/or Blessed John XXIII were legitimate, valid popes? Any or all of them? Which of them?

Is that ANY of your business, Vegas? Stick to the topic please, this isn’t a sedevacantist witch hunt.
