CARDINAL SARAH: PLANS TO ‘ABOLISH’ LATIN MASS ‘DIABOLICAL’
Cardinal Robert Sarah has blasted efforts from the Vatican to ‘abolish’ the Traditional Latin Mass, describing the move as a ‘diabolical project’ that breaks with 1,600 years of tradition.
Any attempt to “abolish” the traditional Mass would be a “diabolical project” that “seeks to break with the Church of Christ,” said Cardinal Robert Sarah this week.
“In the history of the liturgy there is growth and progress, but not rupture,” noted Sarah at an event Monday.
Drawing from Pope Benedict XVI’s now famous remark, Sarah made it his own, stating that “what was holy for previous generations remains holy and great for us, and cannot suddenly be forbidden or even judged harmful. It is good for all of us to preserve the riches that have grown in the faith and prayer of the Church and to give them their rightful place.”
Sarah – who served as prefect of the Congregation for Divine Worship and the Discipline of the Sacraments (CDW) from 2014-2021 – expanded his harsh criticism of any attempt to abolish the traditional Mass (Latin Mass) by warning that it would be a rejection of Church history.

Spider WebsApril 20, 2025
Many spiders use webs of proteinaceous fibers extruded from silk-spinning organs, called spinnerets, to catch prey without having to expend energy pursuing it. However, constructing a web is an energetically costly process, and it is not uncommon for a spider to eat its own web each day to recoup some of the energy expended in its spinning. A remarkable material, spider silk possesses a tensile strength comparable to that of high-grade steel and has been used in medical settings to do what? Discuss

Sun Dog Phenomenon Observed over Stockholm (1535)April 20, 2025
Today, the science behind parhelia—also known as "sun dogs"—is well understood, but when the huge, glowing halos and miniature suns appeared in the sky above Stockholm in 1535, it was a major event. A painting of the occurrence is the earliest color depiction of Stockholm, then a crowded cluster of stone buildings on an island. It is also the earliest depiction of sun dogs and is largely scientifically accurate. What were some of the conflicting interpretations of the omen at the time? Discuss
