I've had little to say about the Legion of Christ disaster over the last year or so, and my opinions (published mostly throughout 2009) about what to do with what's left there are essentially unchanged. But I read today about the probable appointment of Bp. Velasio de Paolis as the papal delegate for the Legion. It's an inspired choice, folks, and deserves our prayerful support.
Now, let's hope the Spanish and English vice-delegates are as well chosen. + + +

I believe that the opinions expressed here are consistent with c. 212 § 3,

"c." stands for "canon" of the Code of Canon Law (CIC).

Canon
and civil lawyer Edward N. Peters offers a compelling
presentation of ex-communication based on the current Code of
Canon Law, answering some of the most commonly-asked questions
about this most serious canonical penalty.
Thanks to Canada's gift of the
revised edition of Code Annotated, English-speaking
clergy and faithful can experience a valuable share of
continental Europe's approach to the many canonical issues that
the Catholic Church faces.
Dr. Edward Peters has been teaching
Ecclesiastical Latin to children, young people, and adults for
many years. For a beginning primary textbook he suggests this
book.
"... a most helpful tool both
for those who are beginning their study of the church's
lingua materna, as well as for those who are working to
renew and improve their knowledge of church Latin."
Monsignor Raymond Burke
