Fifth Sunday of Easter Year B

Fourth Sunday of Easter - Year B

Gaudete et Exsultate

Second Sunday of Easter (Divine Mercy Sunday)

Easter Sunday

MISSION statement:

We are a group of Catholics, some of whom are ordained, brought together by our love of Christ's Church and our anxiety about its future. Still inspired by the Second Vatican Council, we want to contribute fully to the life of our Church so that we may be a more effective sign of the Kingdom of God. To do this, we believe that an atmosphere of openness and dialogue both with each other and with our church leadership needs developing. Accordingly, we aim to supply channels of free and frank communication. We desire to help create a climate of trust and respect for all where this dialogue may be fostered.

THEOLOGY statement:

ACTA is a movement built from below by clergy and laity alike in every diocese in England and Wales. It exists to give those people an effective voice. It is an instrument to establish and promote space for a trusting dialogue within a hierarchically structured people’s Church.
 
ACTA believes that the reforms of the Second Vatican Council are the only way forward for mission to modern society. It is not a small chapel of selected followers; it believes in the Church as a “big tent”, with open doors. As a free and representative association of believers, it seeks to liberate the expertise in the ranks, so as to bring added energy and witness to the Church in the world.

Easter Sunday Homily

Published: 02 April 2013

This Easter things are not quite as usual.

And I’m not just talking about the weather. Although at times it has felt more like mid-winter than the beginning of spring.

This Easter we have a new Pope. Pope Francis.

Domus Santa Marta

Pope Francis has decided to live in two rooms in the Domus Santa Marta residence, next to St Peter's, instead of the grand papal apartment on the top floor of the Vatican's Apostolic Palace, Vatican spokesman Fr Frederico Lombardi confirmed yesterday.

For more than a hundred years,  every pope has occupied the palatial penthouse which has more than a dozen rooms, staff quarters, a terrace and extensive views over the city of Rome. (According to unconfirmed reports circulating around the Rome press, when Pope Francis first saw the apartment,  he said: "you could fit 300 people in here!")

Archbishop Bergoglio washes a woman's feet

We are in the middle of Holy Week, and tomorrow, Holy Thursday, we celebrate the Mass of the Lord’s Supper, remembering that first occasion when the Paschal meal was shared by the Lord with those gathered in the Upper Room.Here in a community meal he showed us his way of giving thanks to the Father - 'eucharist' - and assured us that sharing in this meal was a participation in his life, death, and resurrection - and that it would be the food that would give us strength for our journey of discipleship.

 - tells the story of the maneuverings that sidelined the 1998 translation approved by eleven conferences of English-speaking bishops,

 - criticiz

es the 2010 translation, and

 

- illustrates the clear superiority of the 1998 translation, the "Missal that never was"
