Two quick hits – Ascension Tomorrow! and….

I don’t care what the silly “let’s never ask anything from anybody” approach calendar in the US says, tomorrow is Ascension Thursday!  40 days from the Resurrection – that’s Thursday! Go to Mass!  I don’t care if it’s not offered as the Feast of the Ascension of the Lord, it’s still Mass and you can be in spiritual union with the brethren around the world who do get to celebrate this wonderful Feast on its proper day!  I will be at Mass tomorrow, and it will be the Ascension Mass!  Deo Gratias! 

Second item – a surprising (one might even say, shockingly) uncritical video interview of Bishop Bernard Fellay of the SSPX by the USCCB’s official Catholic News Service.  Have views towards the Society shifted that much within the USCCB, or was the producer just unusually friendly?

OK, I’ll make that 3 quick hits – Vatican/SSPX situation may not be resolved for some time?  This leak from Williamson’s supporters may have slowed down progress a great deal?  Or not? 

Is it best for SSPX to just stay as they are? 

Sorry, I put this post out real quick because we had a fire alarm go off!  Apparently, it was just a test.  I added a bit above, including a link to Rorate Caeli.
