Martin Mosebach on Bergoglio's attempt to destroy the traditional Holy Mass

Some of you have, no doubt, read Martin Mosebach's book, The Heresy of Formlessness, published in 2003. Four years before  Summorum Pontificum there is no doubt, at least in this writer's view, that it had an influence on then-Cardinal Ratzinger, Pope Benedict XVI. I read it five years ago, perhaps it is time to take it off the shelf and read it again as we once again pick up our weapons for the battle.

First Things features a piece by Mosebach on the cruel, uncharitable and vindictively unjust and illegal action of Bergoglio in his attempt to create the church of the new paradigm. 

I have commented on this blog, on social media and in the discussion that this illegal attempt at suppression by Bergoglio, (he will not succeed), is not essentially about the form of the liturgy or the language. It is not about smells and bells and chants. Those are all part of a properly offered Novus Ordo. No, it is about something more. It is about what the Mass of All Time represents. It is what it signifies, it is what it teaches and proclaims. It is about the perpetual sacrifice of Our Lord Jesus Christ and right worship to Almighty God and it is about one word, doctrine! It is about a new church, a new paradigm and worship of the Second Vatican Council as a new Pentecost, a lie and deception if ever there were one.

Moseback agrees.

Perhaps the Mass is not what most concerns the pope. Francis appears to sympathize with the “hermeneutic of rupture”—that theological school that asserts that with the Second Vatican Council the Church broke with her tradition. If that is true, then indeed every celebration of the traditional liturgy must be prevented. For as long as the old Latin Mass is celebrated in any garage, the memory of the previous two thousand years will not have been extinguished.
