The Weeping Virgin of La Salette
The Devotion to the Sacred Heart can be considered as the pre-eminent Cult of the era of the Tridentine Church.
By this, we mean the era in which the Catholic Church can be most actively seen charting a different course from the trajectory of the Protestant and secular currents transforming the Western world. The Tridentine Church has often been derided as having a “siege mentality” against “progress”. Our view is different – this is a Church, which is most acutely aware of the danger of the world falling into ever greater materialistic decadence. In this Tridentine Archive, we hope to present writings mainly from the past and out-of-copyright which can illumine this often mocked and misunderstood era. Here is an initial selection:
Tridentine Timeline
St Margaret Mary and the Origins of the Cult of the Sacred Heart
On Saint Claude de la Columbiere
Valentin Tomberg on the Sacred Heart
Religion and the Romantic Movement (Christopher Dawson)
The Great Nineteenth (Gary Potter)
