Bishop of Stupidville cancels Latin Mass which was in conformity with Tradbashing Custodian

 

"Basic violation of church order," Fr. Gerald K.Murray - - "Not the style of God," Bishop Thomas Tobin

"No reason why any parishioner should be thrown out of his parish church. absolutely none!"

What is Arthur Cardinal Roche-clip up to?

"Brazen self-confidence."

This is the man that wants to persecute faithful Catholics who desire to worship God as their ancestors. 

Will Pope Francis allow this manipulation of him? After all, it is making him look bad.

Of course, the most likely answer is the most obvious.

They are in cahoots!

Has Pope Francis been "manipulated" into promulgating Traditionis custodes?"

Infovaticana, an Italian website has published an article citing Gerhard Cardinal Müller that Pope Francis was manipulated to attack the traditional liturgy. It's been previously reported by Dr. Peter Kwasniewski that Andrea Grillo has had influence in this matter. Having it
confirmed by Cardinal Müller is quite astounding. 

Can we dare hope that Pope Francis will realize the manipulation and soften his heart and be a shepherd and father to all the flock, including those smelly sheep on the peripheries? 

Francis manipulated into promulgating Traditionis custodes, says Cardinal Müller

Members of the St. Anselm Athenaeum and others convinced the Holy Father that the Traditional Mass is "divisive" and encouraged him to restrict it until its virtual demise, Cardinal Gerhard Müller argues in his recently published book "In Good Faith."

The decision to promulgate Traditionis custodes, the motu proprio with which Francis abrogates the liberation of his predecessor's Traditional Mass reached in Summorum Pontificum, was "unexpected and for traditionalists it has been like receiving a slap in the face," says Cardinal Gerhard Müller, former prefect for the Doctrine of the Faith, in his recent book "In Good Faith." "The prohibition to attend this form of liturgy has created chasms, has caused suffering. It would have been more useful to distinguish between the substance of the sacraments which derive from Christ through the Apostles, and are essential, and the liturgical form which exists in various rites in the Church", where there are up to 23. 

Müller blames this decision on the pressure of "some professors of the San Anselmo Athenaeum, who approached the Pope and conditioned him for their own interest. Of them I know some according to whom the only legitimate liturgical form is the conciliar, all other forms should disappear, although the Council has broadened the horizons in a harmonious unity on the essential". 

What Benedict wanted with Summorum Pontificum was "to facilitate the unity and progressive inclusion of traditionalists. Years later, under the current pontificate, a group of advisers of Francis went to lament maintaining that Benedict XVI with that measure had taken a false step, causing further divisions and that, to rebalance the situation, it was better to return everything to how it was before. In short, they manipulated Francis," says the Cardinal.

"God is mighty. We only need to follow Him, no matter what cost."

No Pope. No Prime Minister. No President! They will be condemned to Hell. I will not follow them.

Bergoglio uses Epiphany homily to attack the faithful and the Latin Mass - misleads. lies and contadicts St. Paul!

In a blistering and nasty homily at the Mass for the Feast of the Epiphany, Bergoglio of Rome issued an attack on the traditional Latin Mass, faithful adherents and an outright lie about what scripture states.

Here is the whole bile. Holy Mass on the Solemnity of the Epiphany of the Lord (6 January 2022) | Francis (vatican.va)

"Have we been stuck all too long, nestled inside a conventional, external and formal religiosity that no longer warms our hearts and changes our lives?" Bergoglio said. Continuing, he asked, "Do our words and our liturgies ignite in people's hearts a desire to move towards God, or are they a 'dead language' that speaks only of itself and to itself?"

The Bishop of Rome whose ministry is one of "Personalism" rather than being Vicar of Christ contradicted St. Paul stating, “a suit of armour that encases us; instead, it is a fascinating journey, a constant and restless movement, ever in search of God.”

St. Paul, in his Letter to the Ephesians in the sixth chapter beginning at verse ten states: 

10 Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his power. 11 Put on the whole armour of God, so that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. 12 For our[b] struggle is not against enemies of blood and flesh, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers of this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places. 13 Therefore take up the whole armour of God, so that you may be able to withstand on that evil day, and having done everything, to stand firm. 14 Stand therefore, and fasten the belt of truth around your waist, and put on the breastplate of righteousness. 15 As shoes for your feet put on whatever will make you ready to proclaim the gospel of peace. 16 With all of these,[c] take the shield of faith, with which you will be able to quench all the flaming arrows of the evil one. 17 Take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.

Perhaps Bergoglio might wish to open his bible a little more and open his mouth a lot less.

Meanwhile, in the Diocese of St. Catharines in Ontario, a Solemn Latin Mass will be offered by the Priestly Fraternity of St. Peter in the very Cathedral of St. Catharine of Alexandria with the permission of Bishop Bergie. 

We know who wins this.

Chicago's Latin Mass Catholics under attack!

Christmas liturgical work is now passed. The home renovation continues, shortly the painters will arrive and embed themselves in the new Master Bedroom. Fox and I will be busy preparing our Christmas dinner with some family, notwithstanding Trudeau, Ford, Tan, Fauci and the rest of these demonics. 

Yet, the day cannot pass without sadness for the faithful in Chicago. You've probably already heard of the attack on the Mass by Cupich. The Canons Regular of St. John Cantius has saluted and obeyed. It is sin to obey an evil order. Cowards, all of them. We will see what happens elsewhere.

I've lost the web page for this fantastic artist. If you have, would you leave it for me in the combox?

Priceless!

Bergoglio has attacked hundreds of thousands of faithful Catholics

Michael Matt as you've never heard him. Filled with holy anger and stating the truth.

Wake up, Catholics. Wake up! 

Bergoglio is perfectly possessed. An evil, wretched putrid, angry, rotten man. The worst pope in history. 

God save us.

The Remnant Newspaper - THE INTOLERANT POPE: Francis Cancels Faithful Catholics

What is the future for the former "Ecclesia Dei" Institutes?

Dr. Peter Kwasniewski has an important article up on Rorate Caeli blog. It is important to read on the matter of the future status of the Institute of Christ the King Sovereign Priest, the Priestly Fraternity of St. Peter and other institutes under the former Ecclesia Dei Commission. We've all known that Bergoglio and his minions can not have, on the one hand, the obvious intent to wipe out the traditional liturgy and on the other, allow these Institutes to continue. The source indicates a transition.

The first reaction is to defy Rome and go the way of our friends in the Society of St. Pius X. Kwasinewski ends with the words of Our Blessed Lord to be "wise as serpents but guileless of doves" and that this, is the challenge and task. How to do this, I do not know but flipping the bird at this point will lose them parishes and the simple Catholic folk will suffer. This is similar to my point on the face mask where, as in Ontario, it is mandated in indoor spaces by the government and enforced by the bishops. The Mass is everything and must be accessed and preserved.

We are in such a dark time. The Church is in crisis and the world follows because the Church chose to follow the world rather than Christ. The look on the face of this picture of Bergoglio speaks volumns.

We must all survive until Francis is gone and a truly Holy Pope is elected. Don't bet it will be the next one. He could very well be worse than Bergoglio and smarter. Only God can save us and may the Holy Spirit enlighten the minds of the leaders of these communities to deal with Rome as "wise as serpents and as guileless as doves."

Most Holy Father,

I was born 57 years ago and joined the Dominican Order 35 years ago. I took my perpetual vows 29 years ago and have been a priest now for 28 years. I had only vague recollections from my early childhood of the Holy Mass in its form predating the reforms of 1970. Sixteen years after my ordination, two lay friends (unknown to each other) urged me to learn how to celebrate the Holy Mass in its traditional form. I listened to them.

It was a shock to me. I discovered that the Holy Mass in its classical form:

- directs the entire attention of both priest and faithful towards the Mystery,

- expresses, with great precision of words and gestures, the faith of the Church in what is happening here and now on the altar,

- reinforces, with a power equal to its precision, the faith of the celebrant and of the people,

- does not lead either priest or faithful towards an invention or creativity of their own during the liturgy,

- places them, quite on the contrary, on a path of silence and contemplation,

- offers by the number and nature of its gestures the possibility of incessant acts of piety and love towards God,

- unites the priest and faithful, placing them on the same side of the altar and turning them in the same direction: versus Crucem, versus Deum.

I said to myself: so this is what the Holy Mass is! And I, a priest of 16 years, did not know it! It was a powerful eureka, a discovery, after which my idea of the Mass could not remain the same.

From the beginning it had struck me that this rite is the opposite of the stereotype. Instead of formalism, free expression of the soul before God. Instead of frigidity, the fervour of divine cult. Instead of distance, closeness. Instead of strangeness, intimacy. Instead of rigidity, security. Instead of the passivity of the laity, their deep and living connection to the mystery (it was through the laity, after all, that I was led to the traditional Mass). Instead of a chasm between priest and the faithful, a close spiritual union between all those present, protected and expressed by the silence of the Canon. In making this discovery it became clear to me: this very form is our bridge to the generations who lived before us and passed on the faith. My joy in this ecclesial unity that transcends all time was enormous.

From the beginning, I experienced the powerful force of spiritual attraction of the Mass in its traditional form. It was not the signs in themselves which attracted me, but their significance, which the soul knows how to read. The very thought of the next celebration filled me with joy. I sought every opportunity to celebrate with eagerness and longing. Very soon a complete certainty matured within me, that, were I to celebrate Mass (as well as every Sacrament and ceremony) only in its traditional form till the end of my days, I would not miss the post-conciliar form in the least.

Had someone asked me to express with a single word my feelings about the traditional celebration in the context of the reformed rite, I would have replied “relief.” For it was indeed a relief, one of indescribable depth. It was like that of someone who, having walked all his life in shoes with a pebble in them that rubs and irritates his feet, but who has no other experience of walking, is offered, 16 years later, a pair of shoes with no pebble and the words: “Here,” “Put them on,” “try them!” Not only did I rediscover the Holy Mass, but also the astounding difference between the two forms: that which had been in use for centuries and the post-conciliar one. I had not known this difference because I had not known the earlier form. I cannot compare my encounter with the traditional liturgy to a meeting with someone who has adopted me and has become my adoptive parent. It was a meeting with a Mother who has always been my Mother, yet I had not known her.

I was accompanied in all this by the blessing of the Supreme Pontiffs. They had taught that the missal of 1962 “had never been legally abrogated and remained, therefore, in principle, always permitted,” adding that “what had been sacred for previous generations remained sacred and great also for us, and could not suddenly become completely forbidden nor even considered harmful. It behooves all of us to preserve the riches which have developed through the faith and prayer of the Church and to give them their proper place” (Benedict XVI, Letter to the Bishops, 2007). The faithful were also taught: “On account of its venerable and ancient use, the forma extraordinaria is to be maintained with the honour due to it”; it has been described as “a precious treasure to be preserved” (Instruction Universae Ecclesiae, 2011). These words followed earlier documents which made it possible for the faithful to use the traditional liturgy after the reforms of 1970, the first being Quattuor abhinc annos of 1984. The foundation and source for all these documents remain the Bull of Saint Pius V, Quo primum tempore (1570).

Holy Father, if, without forgetting the solemn document of Pope Pius V, we take into consideration the lapse of time covering the declarations of your immediate predecessors we have a duration of 37 years, from 1984 to 2021, during which the Church said to the faithful, concerning the traditional liturgy, and ever more strongly: “There is such a way. You may walk along with it.”

I, therefore, took the path offered to me by the Church.

Whoever takes this road—whoever wants this rite, which is the vessel of divine Presence and divine Oblation, to bear fruit within his own life—should open himself entirely so as to entrust himself and others to God, present and acting within us through the vessel of this holy rite. This I did, with complete confidence.

Then came the 16th of July 2021.

From your documents, Holy Father, I learnt that the path I had been walking on for 12 years had ceased to exist.

We have affirmations of two Popes. His Holiness Benedict XVI had said that the Roman Missal promulgated by Saint Pius V “must be considered the extraordinary expression of the lex orandi of the Catholic Church of the Roman Rite.” Yet His Holiness Pope Francis says that “the liturgical books promulgated by Popes St. Paul VI and St. John Paul II (...) are the only expression of the lex orandi of the Roman Rite.” The affirmation of the successor thus denies that of his still-living predecessor.

Can a certain manner of celebrating Mass, confirmed by immemorial, centuries-old Tradition, recognized by every Pope, including yourself, Holy Father, until the 16th of July of 2021, and sanctified by its practice over so many centuries, suddenly cease to be the lex orandi of the Roman Rite? If this were the case, it would mean that such a characteristic is not intrinsic to the rite but is an external attribute, subject to the decisions of those who occupy places of high authority. In reality, the traditional liturgy expresses the lex orandi of the Roman Rite by its every gesture and every sentence and by the whole that they compose. It is guaranteed also to express this lex orandi, as the Church has always held, on account of its uninterrupted use, since time immemorial. We must conclude that the first papal affirmation [of Benedict] has solid foundations and is true and that the second [of Francis] is groundless and is false. But despite its being false, it is nevertheless given the power of law. This has consequences about which I will write below.

Concessions regarding the use of the Missal of 1962 now have a different character than earlier ones. It is no longer about responding to the love with which the faithful adhere to the traditional form, but about giving the faithful time—how much time, we are not told—to “return” to the reformed liturgy. The words of the Motu Proprio and your Letter to the Bishops make it entirely clear that the decision has been taken, and is already being implemented, to remove the traditional liturgy from the life of the Church and cast it into the abyss of oblivion: it may not be used in parish churches, new groups must not be formed, Rome must be consulted if new priests are to say it. The bishops are now indeed to be Traditionis Custodes, “custodians of Tradition,” yet not in the sense of guardians who protect it, but rather in the sense of custodians of a jail.

Allow me to express my conviction that this will not happen, and that the operation will fail. What are the grounds for this conviction? A careful analysis of both Letters of July 16th exposes four components: Hegelianism, nominalism, belief in the Pope’s omnipotence, and collective responsibility. Each one is an essential component of your message and none of them can be reconciled with the deposit of the Catholic faith. Since they cannot be reconciled with the faith, they will not be integrated into it either in theory or in practice. Let us examine each of them in turn.

1) Hegelianism. The term is a conventional one: it does not mean literally the system of the German philosopher Hegel, but something that derives from this system, namely the understanding of history as a good, rational, and inevitable process of continuous changes. This way of thinking has a long history, from Heraclitus and Plotinus, to Joachim of Fiore, down to Hegel, Marx, and their modern heirs. The characteristic of this approach is to divide history into phases, such that the beginning of each new phase is joined to the end of the preceding one. Attempts to “baptize” Hegelianism are nothing other than attempts to endow these supposed historical phases with the authority of the Holy Spirit. It is assumed that the Holy Spirit communicates to the next generation something that He has not spoken of to the preceding one, or even that He imparts something that contradicts what He has said before. In the latter case, we must accept one of three things: either in certain phases the Church failed to obey the Holy Spirit, or the Holy Spirit is subject to change, or He carries contradictions within Him.

Another consequence of this worldview is a change in how we understand the Church and Tradition. The Church is no longer seen as a community uniting the faithful by transcending time, as the Catholic faith holds, but as a set of groups belonging to the various phases. These groups no longer have a common language: our ancestors had no access to what the Holy Spirit says to us today. Tradition itself is no longer one message that is continuously studied; it consists rather in receiving, again and again, new things from the Holy Spirit. We then come to hear instead, as in Your Letter to the Bishops, Holy Father, of “the dynamic of Tradition,” often with an application to specific events. An example of this is when you write that this dynamic’s “last stage is the Second Vatican Council, during which Catholic bishops gathered in order to listen and discern the way shown to the Church by the Holy Spirit.” This line of reasoning implies that a new phase requires new liturgical forms because the former ones were suited to the previous stage, which is over. Since this sequence of stages is sanctioned by the Holy Spirit, through the Council, those who hold on to the old forms despite having access to new ones oppose the Holy Spirit.

Such views, however, are contrary to the faith. Holy Scripture, the norm of the Catholic faith, provides no grounds for such an understanding of history. Rather, it teaches us an altogether different understanding. King Josiah, having learned about the discovery of the old book of the Law, ordered that the celebration of Passover be conducted in accordance with it, despite an interruption of half a century (2 Kgs 22-23). In the same way, Ezra and Nehemiah on their return from the Babylonian captivity celebrated the Feast of Tabernacles with the entire people, strictly according to the ancient records of the Law, despite many decades have passed since the previous celebration (Neh 8). In each case, the old documents of the law were used to renew the divine worship after a period of turmoil. No one demanded a change in the ritual on the ground that new times had arrived.

2) Nominalism. While Hegelianism influences one’s understanding of history, nominalism affects one’s understanding of unity. Nominalism implies that introducing outward unity (by means of a top-down administrative decision) is equivalent to achieving real unity. This is because nominalism abolishes spiritual reality by seeking to grasp and regulate it with material measures. You write, Holy Father, that: “It is to defend the unity of the Body of Christ that I am forced to withdraw the faculty granted by my predecessors.” But to reach this goal, true unity, your predecessors made the opposite decision, and not without reason. When one understands that true unity includes something spiritual and internal, and thus differs from mere external unity, one no longer seeks it simply by the uniformity of external signs. We do not obtain true unity in this way, but rather, impoverishment, and the opposite of unity: division.

Unity does not result from the withdrawal of faculties, the revocation of consent, and the imposition of limitations. King Rehoboam of Judah, before deciding how to treat the Israelites, who wished him to improve their lot, consulted two groups of advisors. The older ones recommended leniency and a reduction of the people’s burdens: age, in Holy Scripture, often symbolizes maturity. The young, who were contemporaries of the king, recommended increasing their burdens and the use of harsh words: youth, in Scripture, often symbolizes immaturity. The king followed the advice of the young. This failed to bring unity between Judah and Israel. On the contrary, it started the division of the country into two kingdoms (1 Kgs 12). Our Lord healed this division through mildness, knowing that the lack of this virtue had caused the split.

Before Pentecost, the apostles assessed unity by external criteria. This approach was corrected by the Saviour Himself, who, in reply to the words of St. John: “Master, we saw a man driving out evil spirits in your name, and we did not let him do it, because he was not one of us,” answered “Let him do so, for he who is not against you is with you” (Lk 9,49-50, cf. Mt 9,38-41). Holy Father, you had many hundreds of thousands of the faithful who “were not against” you. And you have done so much to make things difficult for them! Would it not have been better to follow the words of the Saviour indicating a deeper, spiritual foundation of unity? Hegelianism and nominalism frequently become allies, since the materialistic understanding of history leads to the conviction that each stage must irrevocably end.

3) Belief in the Pope’s omnipotence. When Pope Benedict XVI granted greater freedom to the use of the classic form of liturgy, he referred to a centuries-old custom and uses. These provided a solid basis for his resolve. The decision of Your Holiness is based on no such foundations. On the contrary, it revokes something that has existed and endured for a very long time. You write, Holy Father, that you find support in the decisions of St. Pius V, but he applied criteria that are exactly the opposite of your own. According to him, what had existed and lasted for centuries would continue undisturbed; only what was newer was abrogated. The sole basis left for your decision is therefore the will of one person endowed with papal authority. Can this authority, though, however great it may be, prevent ancient liturgical customs from being an expression of the lex orandi of the Roman Church? Saint Thomas Aquinas asks himself whether God can cause something which once existed, never to have existed. The answer is no because contradiction is not part of God's omnipotence (Summa Theologiae, p. I, qu. 25, art. 4). In a similar way, papal authority cannot cause traditional rituals that have expressed the faith of the Church (lex credendi) for centuries, suddenly, one day, no longer to express the law of the prayer of the same Church (lex orandi). The Pope may make decisions, but not ones that violate a unity that extends to the past and to the future, far beyond the duration of his pontificate. The Pope is at the service of a unity greater than his own authority. For it is a God-given unity and not one of human origin. It is therefore unity that takes precedence over authority, and not authority over unity.

4) Collective responsibility. Indicating the motives of your decision, Holy Father, you make various and grave allegations against those who exercise the faculties recognized by Pope Benedict XVI. It is not specified, however, who perpetrates these abuses, or where, or in what number. There are only the words “often” and “many.” We do not even know whether it is a majority. Probably not. Yet not a majority, but all those who make use of the above-mentioned faculties have been affected by a draconian penal sanction. They have been deprived of their spiritual path, either immediately or at some unspecified future time. There are certainly people who misuse knives. Should the production and distribution of knives, therefore, be banned? Your decision, Holy Father, is far more grievous than would be the hypothetical absurdity of a universal prohibition against making knives.

Holy Father: why are you doing this? Why have you attacked the holy practice of the ancient form of celebrating the Most Holy Sacrifice of Our Lord? The abuses committed in other forms, widespread or universal though they are, lead to nothing beyond words, to declarations expressed in general terms. But how can one teach with authority that “the disappearance of a culture can be just as serious, or even more serious, than the disappearance of a species of plant or animal” (Laudato si 145), and then a few years later, with a single act, destine a great part of the Church’s own spiritual and cultural heritage to extinction? Why do the rules of “deep ecology” formulated by you fail to apply in this case? Why did you not instead ask whether the constantly growing number of the faithful assisting at the traditional liturgy could be a sign from the Holy Spirit? You did not follow the advice of Gamaliel (Acts 5). Instead, you struck them with a ban that had not even a vacatio legis.

The Lord God, the model for earthly rulers and, in the first place, for church authorities, does not use His power in this way. Holy Scripture speaks thus to God: “For thy power is the beginning of justice: and because thou art Lord to all, thou makest thyself gracious to all (…) But thou being master of power, judgest, and with great favour disposest of us: for thy power is at hand when thy wilt” (Wis 12, 16-18). Real power does not need to prove itself by harshness. And harshness is not an attribute of any authority which follows the divine model. Our Saviour Himself left us precise and reliable teaching on this (Mt 20, 24-28). Not only has the carpet been pulled, so to speak, from beneath the feet of people who were walking towards God; an attempt has been made to deprive them of the very ground they walk on. This attempt will not succeed. Nothing which is in conflict with Catholicism will be accepted in God’s Church.

Holy Father, it is impossible to experience the ground under one’s feet for 12 years and suddenly assert that it is no longer there. It is impossible to conclude that my own Mother, found after many long years, is not my Mother. Papal authority is immense. But even this authority cannot make my Mother cease to be my Mother! A single-life cannot bear two mutually exclusive ruptures, one of which opens a treasure, whilst the other claims that this treasure must be abandoned because its value has expired. If I were to accept these contradictions I should no longer be able to have any intellectual life, nor, therefore, any spiritual life either. From two contradictory statements, any affirmation, true or false, may be made to follow. This means the end of rational thinking, the end of any notion of reality, the end of effective communication of anything to anyone. But all these things are basic components of human life in general, and of Dominican life in particular.

I have no doubts about my vocation. I am firmly resolved to continue my life and service within the Order of St Dominic. But to do so I must be able to reason correctly and logically. After the 16th of July 2021, this is no longer possible for me within the existing structures. I see with complete clarity that the treasure of the holy rites of the Church, the ground under the feet of those who practice them, and the mother of their piety, continues to exist. It has become equally clear to me that I must bear witness to it.

I have been left no choice now but to turn to those who from the very beginning of the radical changes (changes, let it be noted, that go far beyond the will of the Second Vatican Council) have defended the Tradition of the Church, together with the Church’s respect for the requirements of reason, and who continue to pass on the unchangeable deposit of Catholic faith to the faithful: the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Pius X. The SSPX has shown a readiness to accept me, whilst fully respecting my Dominican identity. It is providing me not only with a life of service to God and the Church, a service not impeded by contradictions, but also with an opportunity to oppose those contradictions which are an enemy to Truth, and which have attacked the Church so vigorously.

There is a state of controversy between the SSPX and the official structures of the Church. It is an internal dispute within the Church, and it concerns matters of great importance. The documents and the decisions of the 16th of July have caused my position on this subject to converge with that of the SSPX. As in the case of any important dispute, this one too must be resolved. I am determined to devote my efforts towards this end. I intend this letter to be part of this effort. The means used can only be humble respect for Truth, and gentleness, both springing from a supernatural source. Thus we can hope for the solution of the controversy and the rebuilding of a unity that will embrace not only those living now but also all generations, both past and future.

I thank you for the attention you have granted to my words and beg, Most Holy Father, for your apostolic blessing.

With filial devotion in Christ,

Fr. Wojciech Gołaski, O.P.

Your right to be a fool

A letter was written by Vincent Nichols, Archbishop of Westminster to Arthur Roche, the Archbishop now in charge of the Congregation for Divine Worship. Both Bergoglian minions. I won't comment on it, you can read the actual correspondence and erudite commentary by Father Hunwicke, Father Zuhsdorf and Dr. Joseph Shaw below.

What I will state is this.

If you think there are no enemies to the traditional rite who will pounce to shut it down then you are a deluded idiot. If you think that your "right" not to wear a mask after you've been requested to do by your pastor on orders of the bishop who "owns" the property justifies your defiant political protest whilst putting the continuation of that Mass in jeopardy, you are a stupid fool and in the grave sin of disobedience to legitimate authority. You may not like it but that is a fact. 

If you wish to stick your finger in a light socket, well, you go right ahead. You sin against God because it would be suicide. God set the laws of physics and you know it. God set the power of legitimate authority. You don't need to like it, you need to obey it. The bishop has the right to require your mask.

If you, out of your pride, do this, you are objectively committing a sin. It is not a sin to wear a mask. If it is a sin on the part of the bishop to require it, God will deal with him. If your intransigence causes people to suffer the loss of the Holy Mass, God will deal with you. The lack of respect you show for courageous priests trying to navigate this crisis for the good of your soul is a disgrace.

If this offends you, too bad. You have no right to cause other people the emotional and spiritual suffering that has already hit various communities over this issue and that of the repugnant motu proprio linked below.

They are coming for us. Why would you jeopardize everything? Shame on you. You dare put it at risk for your stupid pride? The sorrow of many will be on you.

I have no sympathy or respect for you. Whether you do for me is not my issue.

Correspondence with the a hostile Congregation for Divine Worship reveals possible future applications of Traditionis custodes. | Fr. Z's Blog (wdtprs.com)

Is Francis a liar? Is the Pope Catholic? Oh, wait... Yes and No!

The attack by Bergoglio and his Vatican apparatchiks is the gravest scandal since the installation of the whore Earth goddess on the High Altar of St. Peter's Basilica and the bowing down to it in the gardens. No doubt, those events have led to this attack on the Holy Mass and the lab-developed virus and the subsequent diabolical delusion on Church and State alike. 

Diane Montagna has reported on information that what we all expected was true, the report from bishops was nowhere near as bad as it was presented.

Jorge Bergoglio as our politicians, medical tyrants and corporate elites have bitten off more than they can chew. They have overreached and will come crashing down.

Our job is to remain faithful within our Mother and to speak with truth and clarity.

The Remnant Newspaper - TRADITIONIS CUSTODES: Separating Fact from Fiction

I agree with you, Bergoglio - "BASTA"

Indeed, basta of Bergoglio! 

That's right, you heard me.

Stupid old heretic. The traditional Mass I attended yesterday was offered by a priest in a parish and he offers both the old and new. He was born after Vatican II and was ordained from the new books by a bishop consecrated under the new books. Of course, I accept Vatican II and the new books as valid.

Bergoglio is an evil, stinking community idiot and I have no more patience for his crud.

Regarding the Motu proprio Traditionis custodes,the pope "insisted that the celebration of the ancient rite must not be a pretext for refusing Vatican II." "We must put a limit and basta," he insisted before the French prelates, so that a liturgical attraction is not the cover of an ideological posture. At the same time, the Successor of Peter encouraged them to adopt a "paternal attitude" towards the faithful. Motu proprio, presidential, Islam... what Pope Francis said to the French bishops (famillechretienne.fr)

 

More "surprises" coming from Bergoglio's "spirit" - He blasphemes!

COMMUNIQUÉ OF THE SUPERIORS GENERAL OF THE COMMUNITIES "ECCLESIA DEI"

Various congregations and societies have met in France to discuss the current situation with regards to the attempt to eliminate the traditional Latin Mass. If "Francisco" and his ilk are truly interested in "dialogue" and "encounter" and the "peripheries" then they will respond with charity and magnanimity.

But we know what they are and what they are not.

I will not submit to Bergoglio's machinations any more than I will submit to the Fascist Butthead, Ontario Premier Doug Ford.

The fight is on. It has never ceased. It will be to my dying breath.

Computer translation:

"God's mercy on all flesh" (Si 18:13)

Above all, the signatory Institutes want to reiterate their love of the Church and their fidelity to the Holy Father. This filial love is tinged today with great suffering. We feel suspected, sidelined, banished. However, we do not recognize ourselves in the description given by the Cover Letter of the motu proprio Traditionis custodes of July 16, 2021.

"If we say we have no sin... (I Jn 1:8)

We do not consider ourselves the "true Church." On the contrary, we see in the Catholic Church our Mother in whom we find salvation and faith. We are loyally subject to the jurisdiction of the Supreme Pontiff and that of the diocesan bishops, as shown by the good relations in the dioceses (and the functions of Presbyteral Counsellor, Archivist, Chancellor or Official that have been entrusted to our members) and the result of the canonical or apostolic visits of recent years. We reaffirm our adherence to the Magisterium (including that of Vatican II and the following) according to the Catholic doctrine of the assent due to it (cf. in particular Lumen Gentium, No. 25, and Catechism of the Catholic Church, Nos. 891 and 892) as evidenced by the numerous studies and doctoral theses made by many of us over the past 33 years.

Have mistakes been made? We are ready, as is every Christian, to ask for forgiveness if some excesses of language or mistrust of authority have been able to enter this or that of our members. We are ready to convert if party spirit or pride has polluted our hearts.

"Fulfill your vows to the Most High" (Ps 49:14)

We beg for a human, personal, trusting dialogue to be opened, far from ideologies or the coldness of administrative decrees. We would like to be able to meet a person who will be for us the face of the Motherhood of the Church. We would like to be able to tell him about the suffering, the tragedies, the sadness of so many lay faithful from all over the world, but also of priests, men and women religious who gave their lives on the word of Popes John Paul II and Benedict XVI.

They were promised that "all measures would be taken to guarantee the identity of their Institutes in the full communion of the Catholic Church."[1] The first Institutes accepted with gratitude the canonical recognition offered by the Holy See in full attachment

to the traditional pedagogies of the faith, particularly in the liturgical field (on the basis of the Memorandum of Understanding of 5 May 1988 between Cardinal Ratzinger and Archbishop Lefebvre). This solemn commitment was expressed in the Motu Proprio Ecclesia Dei of 2 July 1988; then in a diversified way for each Institute, in their decrees of erection and in their constitutions approved definitively. The men and women religious and priests engaged in our Institutes have taken vows or issued commitments according to this specification.

It is in this way that, trusting in the word of the Supreme Pontiff, they gave their lives to Christ to serve the Church. These priests, men and women religious have served the Church with dedication and self-sacrifice. Can we deprive them today of what they have committed themselves to? Can we deprive them of what the Church had promised them through the mouths of the Popes?

"Be patient with me!" (Mt 18:29)

Pope Francis "invites pastors to listen with affection and serenity, with the sincere desire to enter into the heart of the drama of people and to understand their point of view, to help them live better and recognize their place in the Church" (Amoris Laetitia, No. 312). We are eager to entrust the tragedies we experience to a father's heart. We need listening and benevolence and not condemnation without prior dialogue.

Harsh judgment creates a sense of injustice and produces resentment. Patience softens hearts. We need time.

Today we hear about disciplinary apostolic visits for our Institutes. We ask for fraternal meetings where we can explain who we are and the reasons for our attachment to certain liturgical forms. Above all, we desire a truly human and merciful dialogue: "Be patient with me!"

"Circumdata varietate" (Ps 44:10)

On August 13, the Holy Father affirmed that in liturgical matters" "unity is not uniformity but the multifaceted harmony created by the Holy Spirit."[2] We are eager to make our modest contribution to this harmonious and diverse unity, aware that, as Sacrosanctum Concilium teaches, "the liturgy is the summit to which the Church's action tends and at the same time the source from which all her virtue flows" (SC, No. 10).

With confidence, we turn first of all to the Bishops of France so that a true dialogue may be opened and a mediator may be appointed who will be for us the human face of this dialogue. "We must avoid judgments that do not take into account the complexity of the various situations... It is a question of integrating everyone, we must help everyone to find his own way of being part of the ecclesial community, so that he may feel the object of undeserved, unconditional and gratuitous mercy" (Amoris Laetitia, no. 296-297).

Bergoglio the narcissist and his personalism against the Mass.

I've read this Bergoglian bile quickly, I wish to puke. I'm rather cranky, given the Fascist Premier Ford prison of Ontario and the time of year. Feel free to analyze this narcissistic tirade or read Father Z for his commentary.

I have nothing good to say about any of it so I won't say anything but this; the end of this charade, this circus can't come soon enough in whatever form it takes.

ZISK: In an interview, Francis talks about “Traditionis custodes”, how he views it, what it means, why he did it. Wherein Fr. Z comments. | Fr. Z's Blog (wdtprs.com)

Q: I don’t know if Pope Francis is a man who likes to bang his fist on the table. Would it be possible that the last blow on the table has been the pontifical document limiting the celebration of the ‘Tridentine Masses’? And I also ask you to explain to my audience what the ‘Tridentine Mass’ is, what is it about the Tridentine Mass that is not mandatory. 

FRANCIS: I’m not one to bang on the table, I don’t get it. I’m rather shy. The history of Traditionis custodes is long. When first St. John Paul II—and later Benedict, more clearly with Summorum Pontificum—, gave this possibility of celebrating with the Missal of John XXIII (prior to that of Paul VI, which is post-conciliar) for those who did not feel good with the current liturgy, who had a certain nostalgia… it seemed to me one of the most beautiful and human pastoral things of Benedict XVI, who is a man of exquisite humanity. And so it began. That was the reason. After three years he said that an evaluation had to be made. An evaluation was made, and it seemed that everything was going well. And it was fine. Ten years passed from that evaluation to the present (that is, thirteen years since the promulgation [of Summorum Pontificum]) and last year we saw with those responsible for Worship and for the Doctrine of the Faith that it was appropriate to make another evaluation of all the bishops of the world. And it was done. It lasted the whole year. Then the subject was studied and based on that, the concern that appeared the most was that something that was done to help pastorally those who have lived a previous experience was being transformed into ideology. That is, from a pastoral thing to ideology. So, we had to react with clear norms. Clear norms that put a limit to those who had not lived that experience. Because it seemed to be fashionable in some places that young priests would say, “Oh, no, I want…” and maybe they don’t know Latin, they don’t know what it means. And on the other hand, to support and consolidate Summorum Pontificum. I did more or less the outline, I had it studied and I worked, and I worked a lot, with traditionalist people of good sense. And the result was that pastoral care that must be taken, with some good limits. For example, that the proclamation of the Word be in a language that everyone understands; otherwise it would be like laughing at the Word of God. Little things. But yes, the limit is very clear. After this motu proprio, a priest who wants to celebrate that is not in the same condition as before—that it was for nostalgia, for desire, &c.— and so he has to ask permission from Rome. A kind of permission for bi-ritualism, which is given only by Rome. [Like] a priest who celebrates in the Eastern Rite and the Latin Rite, he is bi-ritual but with the permission of Rome. That is to say, until today, the previous ones continue but a little bit organized. Moreover, asking that there be a priest who is in charge not only of the liturgy but also of the spiritual life of that community. If you read the letter well and read the Decree well, you will see that it is simply a constructive reordering, with pastoral care and avoiding an excess by those who are not…

Priest suspended and sent for re-education after offering Novus Ordo Mass in Latin!

Father Sixto Eduardo Varela Santamaria, recently the Chancellor of the Diocese of Alajuela, has been suspended and sent for a psychological assessment for the offering of the Holy Mass according to the Missal of Paul VI as it was intended, in Latin and "ad orientem." Father Varela Santamaria was offering the Vetus Ordo for the faithful until ordered to stop in a unanimous action by all of Costa Rica's bishops.

Between the actions of bishops such as the one from this diocese on one hand and that of our governments now threatening employment and preventing the ability to buy food on the other, is there any doubt that we are under a spiritual crisis never seen before in history? 

God is our strength. We have no other.

Costa Rican priest suspended, sent for psychological treatment for celebrating Latin Novus Ordo – Catholic World Report

Francis Will Issue A Second Latin Mass Ban Decree - he will attack the Congregations, Institutes and Societies and punish those resisting him.

It is logical that the next step is coming. The motu proprio's goal is the end of the traditional Mass. This can't happen with the traditional orders. They are next.

Those who don't go along with Bergoglio's plan, evolve to the new Personalist Church of Bergoglio will be excommunicated. What Bergoglio wants to do is to force us all out and into the Society of St. Pius X at which point he will declare all as schismatics and excommunicate.

That is what this is all about but I doubt he won't live long enough. 

Hey Jorge, excommunicate this!

Bergoglio to spy on all of us and punish bishops that allow the Traditional Latin Mass - LifeSiteNew sources. We have our sources too!

 

Vatican sources: Pope Francis will use ‘spy system,’ left-wing cardinal to suppress Traditional Latin Mass - LifeSite (lifesitenews.com)

Dr. Maike Hickson not known for tin-foiled hat journalism is reporting from sources in the Vatican that Bergoglio will go further to suppress the Latin Mass in its traditional form through a network of spies and informants and will not tolerate dissent. The article is linked above.

As Hickson eludes, it is important to look at the past to see how Bergoglio has operated in order to see how he might act in the future. In all of these things, we can see a pattern of cruelty and vindictiveness towards individuals to an outright hatred of the faith proven by his actions many of which have been written on this blog for the past eight years. 

The spying will be carried out by Bergoglio's henchman, João Braz de Aviz a man born in 1947 making him 74 years of age and obviously one who colours his hair. The once famous commercial, "only your hairdresser knows for sure," is moot by the obvious myriad of photos of Aviz. What other "secrets" does the "Cardinal" have and why does a 74-year-old man, and a priest to boot, colour his hair? Enquiring minds wish to know.

I state again, I knew nothing of this man and had not heard of him before that tragic day. When he came out on the loggia it was as if an interior locution revealed itself through physical effects that something was wrong and would get much worse. The work by this writer against this man may have disturbed some, it has often disturbed me as a Catholic speaking against a "pope." Yet, the truth must be told. Jorge Bergoglio exhibits perfect possession based upon the evidence over the last eight years. From the failure to genuflect at the Holy Mass whilst he can happily grovel to kiss and wash feet to the heresy contained in Amoris Laetitia, the blasphemous worship of a pagan demon goddess, the betrayal of the faithful in China and so much more and now the plan to destroy the Holy Mass, it is evident for those who are prepared to see what many of us have seen these eight years. The man's works are evil as is he. He has no grace of office. He has betrayed the One, True Faith and must be resisted.

Bergoglio has overreached. It is clear. We will not comply with his order or his machinations. No Pope has the moral authority to do what he has done. Our job is to defy Bergoglio to his face in every way possible and to remain faithful to Christ and the Catholic tradition. 

We have our own sources in the Vatican and will report the information now for your consideration. The recent surgery was not for diverticulitis but for colon cancer and he is wearing a colostomy bag and is in his last months. Hence, the rush to destroy before he is gone. Perhaps the next fall going up the stairs for Mass will cause it to splatter for all to see. Just exposure to a corrupt and despicable tyrant.

"May his days be shortened and another his bishopric take."
