The Church on Capital Punishment Today & Yesterday

by Joseph Saraceno

cover004USCCB Position

Since 1980, the USCCB has taken a strong and principled position against the use of the death penalty in the United States. We oppose the use of the death penalty not just for what it does to those guilty of horrible crimes, but for how it affects society; moreover, Pope John Paul II, in both The Gospel of Life and the revised Catechism of the Catholic Church, states that our society has adequate alternative means today to protect society from violent crime without resorting to capital punishment.

Book Review by Joseph Saraceno

The followers of the Beast are signed on the forehead or in the right hand. The plagues of God will single out for destruction those who are marked. page 175 -176 Apoc. 14:9, 16:2, 20:4

Seven thunders, the seven voices equal totally sacred authority. The seven thunders may then be a declaration of an ecumenical council. page 241-42
(Daniel was ordered to seal up the words of his prophecies until the time appointed by God for their publication.) And I heard another voice from heaven, saying: Go out from her, MY PEOPLE; that you be not partakers of her sins, and that you receive not of her plagues. V-2 Church, Apoc. 18:4-5.

The Ottaviani Intervention

by Joseph Saraceno

A must read for all Catholics…”

The original critique of the New Mass, published just months after its promulgation in 1969.
“It is evident that the Novus Ordo has no intention of presenting the faith as taught by the Council of Trent, to which, nonetheless, the Catholic conscience is bound forever. With the promulgation of the Novus Ordo, the loyal Catholic is thus faced with a most tragic alternative.”
This statement, made with absolute and definitive clarity, from Section VI of the Ottaviani Intervention, was made in respnse to what might be considered one fo the most critical moments in the history of the Catholic Church since the original Pentecost Sunday, the traditional worship of the Roman Church was about to be replaced.
The issue of the ongoing litugical revolution in the Catholic Church became critical on April 28, 1969, when Paul VI announced the Novus Ordo Missae. It was the last chance for action within the traditional channels of ecclesiastical authority. Somehow the pope had to be dissuaded from implementing this substitute for the traditional Catholic Mass of the Roman Rite. This attempt, ultimately unsuccessful, was done in A Critical Study of the New Order of Mass…or what has become known as the “Ottaviani Intervention.”
