An accidental visit to the Jesuits of Brussels
Warming up the crowd. Guitar player to the right, playing an indescribably bad ditty.
I said crowd. Warming up a vacancy.
Looking forward to the altar
Procession of priests
I said altar, that should be two altars and one stealth priestess.

The last remaining statue from the once beautiful reredos, now affixed to a side-wallTheir house chapel.
Jesuit spirituality represented by this crucifix.
Never have I found an ecclesiastical community bound into a state of living death.

Uhhh! That's the most sickening "crucifix" I've ever seen! How- no really- HOW can anyone actually like that?!
Greetings in St. Jerome!
The wonders of the Catholic Treasures of Faith and Wisdom is plentiful even in a godless and sinful world. Today, more than ever, all men must seek ever more deeply to understand that Jesus Christ is Lord and Truth. For if man sincerely seeks what has been handed to him from a principle foundation of hallowed reason and invincible faith, it will necessarily follow that he will find what he is seeking by following that same path of truth.
No wonder in an age of moral decay and even outright indifference for holy things, is there still a ray of hope in the Catholic Catholic. For Jesus Christ who is the True Light made the ultimate sacrifice to His Father to make His promise of perpetual saving graces available to mankind a matter of fact. St. Jerome, a great Doctor of the Catholic Church, made great steps in that path of truth and was chosen by God to help codify the inspired and approved texts of Sacred Scripture into a single book that became known as the Sacred Bible. This book became a source of spiritual growth, theological study, and legal practice in a world really no different from our own. Rightly, did St. Jerome bellow at the world of his own time that "Ignorance of the Scriptures is Ignorance of Christ" (Ignoratio enim Scripturarum ignoratio Christi est), because it is only through the quest of truth will someone attain the true love of truth which will crown them with the gift of wisdom.
The good news from St. Jerome's Cave is that there is good plenty of Rare and Hard to Find Traditional Catholic Books available for those on this quest for truth and who will love these books to show the Pastor their goodness of wheat. Here is sample of a few of the great works of Christ's Church available to obtain:
Pontificale Romanum
Missale Romanum
Epistolae et Evangelia Totius Anni.
Evangelarium
Canon Missae ad usum Episcoporum
Mansi's Sacrorum Conciliorum Nova et Amplissima Collectio
Migne's Patrologiae Cursus Completus
Denzinger's Enchiridion symbolorum, definitionum et declarationum de rebus fidei et morum
Jerome's Biblia Vulgata Latina
Rare Pre-Vatican II Gregorian Chant and Sacred Polyphony
Rare Video of Popes Saint Pius X , Pius XI, Pius XII
Rare Video of a traditional Latin Solemn High Mass
And...so much more!
Please visit St. Jerome's Cave and have a look at the great treasures that he and all true Catholic scholars brought together for the Greater Glory of God, the edification of the Christian People, and the salvation of souls:

Warm greetings in the True Christmas Spirit!
I hope all is well, you seem very knowledgeable. Do you have Doctorate in Divinity or Philosophy? Anyhow, I was wondering if you could give some priceless advice. I am thinking of buying a some good old Catholic theology books for some love ones, and well, I recently received an advertisement for this very interesting book called "Communicatio in Sacris: The Roman Catholic Church against Intercommunion of non-Catholics" by Mr. William J. DeTucci.
I was wondering if you have seen any book review on this book? I could not find anything on the author. It seems the book talks about the Role of Vatican II in the Modern World and how Traditionalists have resisted many of the Modernistic teachings of Ecumenism, Religious Liberty, and a New Mass. However, I only deduce this from the table of contents and a brief overview I read here:

I would most appreciate any book review that you or a theologian has done. This books seems to have positive merit in as much it claims to be "a Compendium of Roman Catholic Doctrine on the subject of Intercommunion with non-Catholics. This book produces the overwhelming theological consensus for the Dogmatic Teaching condemning Intercommunion with non-Catholics, putting together a treasury of Sacred Scriptures, Church Fathers, Doctors, Saints, Theologians, and Popes who have written on the matter."
However, I just wanted to verify that before I make my last minute shopping for this Christmas season.
May God bless you all!
Kind regards,
Patty
