Nuntiatoria XLVII: Quadragesima I – Summary
The newsletter provides liturgical guidance for the First Sunday of Lent, emphasizing prayer, fasting, and almsgiving. It offers missalettes, reflections on temptation and holiness, and highlights Lenten Embertide and the Seven Sundays Devotion to St. Joseph. Practical advice includes fasting benefits, an examination of conscience, and guidelines for Mass attire.
In current affairs, it critiques Cardinal Roche’s statements, the Fr. Rupnik scandal, and the perceived bias in new sentencing guidelines. Topics include pro-life suppression in Scotland, Ash Wednesday observance differences, and U.S. legal rulings on gender transition. The decline of Catholicism post-Vatican II, persecution of a Nigerian priest, and concerns over a female “Episcopal Vicar” are discussed. A pilgrimage to Rome (Nov 2025) is announced.
The newsletter promotes Old Roman TV, a Lenten study group, and a Filipino fasting guide, urging support for the Old Roman Apostolate Forum and initiatives.
