We will be back to continue our series on Father Henry Sebastian Bowden's Mementoes of the English Martyrs and Confessors on Monday, July 10, with a segment on Saint Thomas More!
Also, today, June 30, is the 55th anniversary of Pope Saint Paul VI's issuance of his Moto Proprio on The Creed of the People of God:
According to this earlier issue of The Pilot from Boston:
In his apostolic letter (“Solemni Hac Liturgia”) accompanying the Credo, Pope Paul VI noted that the text “repeats in substance, with some developments called for by the spiritual condition of our time, the creed of Nicea, the creed of the immortal tradition of the holy Church of God.”
According to the pope, the Credo was issued due to concerns about “the disquiet which agitates certain modern quarters with regard to the faith,” “the influence of a world being profoundly changed, in which so many certainties are being disputed or discussed,” “even Catholics allowing themselves to be seized by a kind of passion for change and novelty,” and “disturbance and perplexity in many faithful souls.”
