Medieval historian and author, Edmund J. Mazza is interviewed on the John Henry Weston show. I find this topic very interesting, particularly at this chaotic and concerning time in Church history:

Saints vs Antipopes reveals crucial truths for Catholics in the face of the Francis/Leo reigns of t/error:

The actions of saints like St. Bernard and St. Norbert who publicly denounced, plotted to overthrow—and even dispatched armies against—a canonically elected "pope," who ruled from Rome for almost eight years...unprecedented "sedition" against a sitting "pontiff."

The teaching of saints like Robert Bellarmine and other reputed theologians on how Christ's prayer protects the Church and Popes from ever teaching heresy: "the Pope not only should not, but cannot preach heresy, but rather should always preach the truth. He will certainly do that, since the Lord commanded him to confirm his brethren, and for that reason added: 'I have prayed for thee, that thy faith shall not fail,' (Lk 22:32)"

The shocking secrets that Mary, Queen of All Saints, revealed to saints and holy people at LaSalette, Fatima, and Akita: "The Church will be eclipsed/one will not know which is the true pope." "An apostasy will begin at the top of the Church." "There will be a man who is in the Vatican, dressed in white, looking something like a pope but talking like the devil. He is supposedly the head of Christianity, but is, in fact, spewing the doctrine of an antipope."

Bishop Schneider Appeals to Pope Leo XIV to Build a Bridge with the SSPX

This appears to be another historic battle in the ongoing spiritual war in the life of the Church.

May Our Lord shower even more His people with His graces of wisdom, understanding, counsel, fortitude, knowledge, piety and fear of the Lord.

though it is still at 0%.

Maybe ∄ any seeders.

Yeah, I eventually came to that conclusion.

That's ok, however. I got a pretty good idea of what they were about from the trialers on youtube. Unfortunately, it looks like the typical rebellions against the Church by those Satan has achieved significant influence over.

I'm not sure how to use magnet links.

Use a torrent program like qBittorrent.

Thanks. I have a portable copy of qbittorrent. I had just never used a magnet file before. cutting & pasting
magnet:?xt=urn:btih:5e86f29c68d4261b4bcb61947a8d9732f8003557 seems to have worked, though it is still at 0%.

Catholic Resources / Re: Learning Latin resources

Last post by justjeff - February 12, 2026, 03:14:27 AM

I'm thinking that I will be needing a little bit of a crash course on Latin pronunciation for the responses at Mass.

PHONETICA LATINÆ - How to pronounce Latin by Ray Cui is a good resource; it has Ecclesiastical (and "Classical" 🤮) pronunciations.

That looks very helpful. Thank you very much!

Thank you very much for all of the information and, of course, the resources.

a main reason I wanted to learn (some?) Latin was to be able to read along in the missal without having to go back and forth with the English translation.

For that purpose, I used Byrne, Simplicissimus Ecclesiastical Latin Course.

I have been asked to fill in as an altar server this weekend for a friend who went into the hospital. Fortunately, his operation went well & hopefully he will be out of the ICU today.

I'm thinking that I will be needing a little bit of a crash course on Latin pronunciation for the responses at Mass. Do you think I would be better off with Fr. Most's audio for that, or perhaps the Simplicissimus Ecclesiastical Latin Course or something else?

reading the early Church Fathers, like Augustine is much more complex and difficult than what was typical Church Latin in the Middle Ages.

Yes, St. Augustine's Latin is more similar to classical Latin than the ecclesiastical Latin that St. Jerome initiated. St. Thomas Aquinas's Latin is actually the easiest; cf. Dr. Jeremy Holmes reading St. Thomas Aquinas's Compendium in Latin and explaining its grammar ex tempore in Latin.
You'd be interested in Latinist Christine Mohrman's Liturgical Latin: Its Origins and Character: Three Lectures.
