Novus Ordo Seclorum



Novus Ordo Seclorum
Originally uploaded by Lance McCord

The term "Novus Ordo" is taken from the Great Seal of the United States of America, and is of Masonic significance. It is also one of the designations, though not the official one, of the Mass of Pope Paul VI, which was devised under the supervision of Cardinal Annebale Bugnini and promulgated in 1989. In 1975, Cardinal Bugnini was suddenly banished from Rome and sent to Iran, the rumour being that it was because he had admitted to being a Freemason. There is no way of knowing whether the rumour was true or false, but it is the case that there were known Masonic connections between the Calvi murder and the Vatican Bank fraud, where members of the illegal Masonic lodge P2 were involved. I do not allege conspiracy theories because most "conspirators" could not conspire their way out of a paper bag but is it a coincidence or what?

The picture below is not the 1969 Mass, but the Mass of Pius V promulgated in 1570. The former is now designated "Ordinary Form" and the 1570 Mass as "Extraordinary Form". Now that the present Pope has established that the 1570 Mass was never abrogated, the sooner it becomes the usual form of the Mass, the better. We are having it in our parish every Friday evening and also one Sunday a month; the Friday one has attracted a good following after only a few months. I hope it will soon become the normal form for Sunday mass but obviously our parish priest has to proceed softly-softly to avoid too many ruffled feathers from those of the Bitter Pill persuasion.

Importing people to sustain demand

I got involved in a discussion with a Youtuber called “Philosophy all along”. This was in connection with criticism of Trump’s policy of deporting illegal migrants, which he argued would be bad for the economy as it would reduce demand. This implies that there is a need to import people to sustain demand. There is no obvious reason why a population should not be able to consume everything that the same population produces. If it can not, then something else is going on. It is a basic principle that wages are the least that workers will accept to do a job. Wages are a share of the value added by workers through their wages. The remainder is distributed as economic rent, after government has taken its cut in taxes. Monopoly profit is a temporary surplus that after a delay gets absorbed into economic rent. Land values in Silicon Valley are an example of this; it's like a gold rush. The miners get little out of it. Rent and tax syphon purchasing power away from those who produce the g...

The Zombie Train that refuses to die

The Guardian has published a couple more articles against HS2, one by specialist rail commentator Christian Wolmar, and another today by journalist Simon Jenkins. The main arguments in favour will doubtless be wheeled out by the commentators: the need for capacity and the disruption caused by upgrading existing routes. HST itself will severely disrupt services to Euston during the construction period. Capacity can be increased at a fraction of the cost by a variety of measures, provided that it is accepted that the additional traffic will run at existing speeds. It is not generally known that the Midland main line is, or was, four track all the way from London to Trent Junction, between Nottingham and Derby. This is because the additional tracks are separate, having been added for coal trains which trundled down to Brent sidings, on the edge of London, from a collection point at Toton in Nottinghamshire, where the Midland Railway build a huge marshalling yard. Beyond Derby, the main l...

How much more will the British tolerate?

The British are phlegmatic, tolerant and slow to rouse. Thus there was no great reaction after the terrorist attack in July 2005. The murder of Lee Rigby created a sense of outrage, but nothing more, since it appeared to be an isolated incident. Two serious incidents within a fortnight are another matter. Since the first major terrorist incident in 2001, authority has tried to persuade the public that Islam is a religion of peace, that these were isolated events, or the actions of deranged "lone wolves", having nothing to do with Islam, or to reassure that the chances of being killed in a terrorist attack were infinitesimally small. These assurances are are beginning to wear thin. They no longer convince. If government does not act effectively, people will take the law into their own hands. What, however, would effective action look like? What sort of effective action would not amount to rough justice for a lot of innocent people? Given the difficulties of keeping large n...
