Interesting canon law discussions shaping up in Voris / RCTV and AoD dispute

There are some interesting developments in the dispute over use of the name "Catholic" in the Real Catholic TV vs. Archdiocese of Detroit dispute.

First, Real Catholic TV has responded with a video

The news link that Michael Voris refers to in his video response is from LifeSiteNews: Archdiocesan canon lawyers differ on asking RealCatholicTV.com to drop ‘Catholic’ name (with 107 comments as of this posting).  In that article we learn that a canon lawyer from the Fort Wayne - South Bend, Indiana diocese -  actually the Judicial Vicar - not speaking as an official of that diocese, but offering his thoughts, feels jurisdiction likely belongs in FW-SB.


Just a short time ago, Ed Peters put out a new post in which he clarifies some things further: Some thoughts on the ‘jurisdiction’ question in the AOD – Voris/RCTV matter.  He points out that the AoD doesn't need jurisdiction for what it has stated.  There are two parts in that single post and he gets into some discussion in "part 2" about jurisdiction and internet ventures that cross dioceses in various ways (consider that the current Code of Canon Law is 1983, really before the internet boomed to hwat we have today).  He brings up some very interesting "what if" scenarios.

I suspect we have not heard the last from these two canonists. 

Update: Peters had a second response concerning his employment and more.

Update 2: Comments have been disabled and hidden.  See why here: Not with insolence do we advance our cause... whatever it is!

Real Catholic TV - Now it's Official.....Launched!!!

View the above news on the site of Real Catholic TV. It's about a 6-7 minute clip and contains many shots from Assumption Grotto taken during the Mass presided by Bishop John M. Quinn, which preceded the burial of 7 aborted babies in our cemetary found in a dumpster. Some 500-600 people were in attendance on that weekday.

If the embedded version is not working, go to their main site, register and click "Today's News". This will change tomorrow and I'm not sure how archiving will work. I can't get the embedded video to actually function on my blog and have reported it to them. It's a new site so bugs should be expected, and reported using their "Conact us" button at the bottom of the site.

There's other great stuff there. All you have to do is go through the free registration to be able to view much of the content which will be changing daily.

Awesome! Awesome! Spread the word.
