Each Sunday, Mass is offered in the Roman Rite of 1962 within the Church of Bloom’s own Independent Catholic tradition. It replaces that day’s Daily Offering. Nothing in the rite has been altered, and the closing blessing is given as Bloom’s own pastor.
On the standing of this Mass
Mass here is offered in the Roman Rite of 1962 within the Church of Bloom’s own tradition. This church is Independent Catholic and is not in communion with Rome; it claims no Roman faculties, no Roman jurisdiction, and no Roman recognition of its orders. The rite is kept unaltered and the claim is kept honest, and neither of those is negotiable.
Six days a week the Daily Offering is published as a low-Mass form in text. On Sunday, that stops. Mass is offered for the day, with the propers appointed to it, and the online Sunday Mass takes the Offering’s place in the pattern rather than running beside it.
The distinction is kept because it is true and because people who were pushed out of churches are entitled to precision about what they are being given. A church that inflates its own liturgy is training you not to trust it later, when the stakes are a sacrament.
The homily on a Sunday will name what is happening to trans people, disabled people, and anyone else the wider church has been arguing about, and it will do so as pastoral care rather than as commentary.
“For where there are two or three gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.”
Matthew 18:20
Sunday’s rank, season, and colour come from the calendar of 1962. Its propers belong to it and are not exchanged for a preferred text.
From the Missale Romanum of 1962, unaltered. Intentions sent to the Chancery are carried in it, by name or by situation, and are never published.
Replaces that day’s OfferingWritten for this congregation: people who were told to leave, to be quiet, or to be someone else in order to stay. It says so out loud.
Given as Bloom’s own pastor, in this church’s own right, and claiming nothing that does not belong to it.
