Old rite return ‘only a first step'
3 February 2012

The President of the Pontifical Council for Promoting Christian Unity, Cardinal Kurt Koch, said last week that Pope Benedict XVI's readmission of the celebration of the Mass in the pre-conciliar "extraordinary form" was only a "first step" in liturgical renewal.
Speaking at a conference on Joseph Ratzinger's theology at Freiburg im Breisgau, Cardinal Koch said the time for further steps was "not yet ripe" as liturgical issues were still fraught with "ideology", particularly in Germany.
But he said accusations that Pope Benedict wanted to go back to pre-conciliar liturgical practice "cause the Pope suffering," he said, as the opposite was in fact the case.
He also added that not everything that was liturgical practice today was based on council texts..

IMPORTANT INFORMATION.

We have been informed by Emmanuel Milingo who has confirmed in writing that he has consecrated to the Episcopate of the Catholic Church on the 7th December 2007 Bishop H Norwood. Bishop Norwood was originally consecrated in 1990 by His Beatitude, Patriarch Dom Luis Fernando Castillo Mendez. Bishop H Norwood sought re-consecration. He has stated to ourselves that he believes that there was a defect from His Beatitude.

Additional information provided to ourselves is that His Beatitude Patriarch Dom Luis Fernando Castillo Mendez suspended sacraments of Harold James Norwood in 1993 for his actions without authority that took place in 1993 with John C Simmons. It is worth noticing that although Harold Norwood now lives in Brasilia, Brazil yards from the Patriarchal Cathedral. He has no association with ICAB old regime or new and never assisted the late Patriarch with any Masses.

Sister Regina has travelled to South Africa to assist in educating the less fortunate children of Christ. She has said that she found the children and their families very poor but rich in christian soul. The love for the Lord could teach most countries. The problem is that most countries has forgotten what it is like not to have food on a regular basis . the fact that you have to go to sleep hungry and thirsty. It has opened my eyes and I remember with a pure heart the very vocation that I took especiallyt being here.

Sister Regina is comforting a young baby who needs help. Sister Regina is hoping to continue to attend the village in South Africa with her fellow nuns each year with the idea of educationg, clothing and finding ways of helping them to help themselfs.
