Flight 93: Eleven Years Later

The following E-Mail was received from Alec Rawls today:

Please help publicize the latest on the Flight 93 memorial. Despite promises to change the original Crescent of Embrace design, New Park Service images prove that the design is being built with virtually no changes.

They call it a broken circle now but they even removed the extra arc of trees that was supposed to turn the crescent into a circle, replacing it instead with a wavy wisp of trees that is barely visible. Side-by-side comparison between the original bare-naked Islamic crescent-and-star flag configuration and the as-built configuration show they are virtually identical!

I know we are not doing the blogburst thing regularly anymore, but I hope as many of you as possible will rejoin for this anniversary effort.

Thanks a million, and NEVER FORGET!

Transubstantiation

The Catechism of the Catholic Church: 1376: The Council of Trent summarizes the Catholic faith by declaring: “Because Christ our Redeemer said that it was truly his body that he was offering under the species of bread, it has always been the conviction of the Church of God, and this holy Council now declares again, that by the consecration of the bread and wine there takes place a change of the whole substance of the bread into the substance of the body of Christ our Lord and of the whole substance of the wine into the substance of his blood. This change the holy Catholic Church has fittingly and properly called transubstantiation.”

Pope Benedict XVI

The more vigorously the primacy was displayed, the more the question came up about the extent and and limits of [papal] authority, which of course, as such, had never been considered. After the Second Vatican Council, the impression arose that the pope really could do anything in liturgical matters, especially if he were acting on the mandate of an ecumenical council. Eventually, the idea of the givenness of the liturgy, the fact that one cannot do with it what one will, faded from the public consciousness of the West. In fact, the First Vatican Council had in no way defined the pope as an absolute monarch. On the contrary, it presented him as the guarantor of obedience to the revealed Word. The pope's authority is bound to the Tradition of faith. … The authority of the pope is not unlimited; it is at the service of Sacred Tradition.
