Orthodox Patriarch of Moscow serves Children's Divine Liturgy

There is hope. 

Will it come from the East?

Schism, schmism!

So nice. Forty-seven years at the very nearby Ukrainian Catholic Church (thank You, O Lord) means that this is all so familiar.

And schism? Well, yes, but very likely not in the hearts of people in the average parish.

It is tempting to look to the traditions of the East to rescue the West but its a poisoned pill. The East has traditions but they lost the faith. Our conflict with modernism is not a crusade to bring back Latin and fiddleback chasubles, its a fight to restore faith, the Catholic Faith. Its not a fight to restore traditions and reverence. All too often trads get all worked up about the externals of the Mass and toss the faith overboard by making compromises with the modernists.

Russia underwent 70 years of scourging to be now free of Bolshevism; which has now conquered the degenerate West. Though the Orthodox are in schism, their sees were founded by Apostles, and they have a great devotion to the Mother of God. This little video reflects what the evil West is deathly afraid of: a resurgence of Russian Orthodoxy. Hence the endless rage and hatred of Russia, the constant lies about Russia. The West’s vile encirclement via war mongers to break up and destroy Russia. Need I remind readers that it is the Orthodox from Russia, Montenegro, Serbia who PUBLICLY profess with thousands of the faithful defending Christian morality whilst the decadent churchmen in Rome sit idly silent? Need I remind readers that Russia forbids homosexual propaganda, whilst the West glories in it.

Most edifying. Thank you, Vox.

Does it come to anyone's mind what a Catholic Church converting Russia in full would look like? An additional 200 PLUS million using the Eastern Liturgy? Many Traditionalists envision the regeneration of the Catholic Church as a restoration of the Tridentine Mass. But we many have to consider the complete fall of the West, and near complete takeover by Eastern Christians. This might, in some practical way, the abolition of both NO and Tridentine Western Rites. In fact, abolishing the Western would very likely occurgiven the large amount if Roman Catholics for decades not even having an inking or memory of the Tridentine Tradition anymore.

Tom A:
I mostly agree with you... except that it includes the Latin Mass (the ONLY Mass!)... because modernism is the (so called) Vatican2 (and all related to it!)
the (so called) Vatican its the ROOT and SOURCE of all those things related with the loss of faith...
the (so called) vatican2 was to put the "chuurch" IN PAIR with the "world"... and this is just impossible, as the Church has to go AGAINST the world all the time... it is mission to get against it...
