BREAKING: Earthquakes throughout Italy felt in Rome
http://www.emsc-csem.org/
A few days ago, I came across the Argentine Blog, Sagrada Tradicion, and this blog post from September 19, 2010. It was just three years after Summorum Pontificum and just under three years from the election of the man featured in this important article. We knew early from various news sources on Rorate Caeli of the persecution of the traditional Mass by then Cardinal Bergoglio. In light of concerns recently raised by Sandro Magister, a look back at this story from nearly seven years ago, is important to reveal where we may be going.
If Bishop of Rome Bergoglio attempts to undermine the growth and provision of the traditional Latin Rite of the Mass, it will be his undoing.
Let this be a warning to all of us, and to him.

Bergoglio: The Seven Plagues from Egypt for the
Argentine Church
Francisco José Fernández de la Cigoña
An Argentine reader, undoubtedly overestimating
the strength of the Blog, asks me for help that on my own doing is not going to
proceed. And more so, agreeing that Cardinal Bergoglio is the most directly
responsible for the current decline of the Church in Argentina.
There is exactly a year, three months and a day
-seems to be a criminal conviction- so that the archbishop of Buenos Aires may
present the resignation of his archdiocese, or of what remains of it, to the
Holy Father. I hope it’s accepted immediately.
And Bergoglio has not only been a calamity for
his archiepiscopate, but has extended his evil influence to the whole nation
over whose Church prevails for soul’s perdition.
This is the letter of the unknown Argentine
friend:
Dear Don Paco Pepe:
I know that you do not have much time, but I
have not been able to synthesize more what I want to tell you, I beg you to
have the patience to read it until the end:
I have been following your blog for a long
time, not remembering very well if I have ever written to you.
Our blog, Catholic Page, is dedicated mainly to
provide the audio of the Sunday sermons and some conferences of very good
Catholic authors.
But at the same time, I was personally in
charge of a Chapel in the Buenos Aires archdiocese (at the request of the
previous parish priest), called the Sacred Heart of Jesus. The last four years,
with the effort of neighbors, families with many children in general, the
chapel that had been closed for 25 years lived the splendor of the traditional
liturgy (Novus Ordo in Latin, Gregorian chant, kneeling Communion, etc.). To
the point where there was no place for the people who filled the path. Such
ceremonies are almost never seen in Buenos Aires. I remember an old woman who
said, "How beautiful! It's the same as watching the Pope's Mass on
TV." With this you can have an idea of what the Chapel used to be.
The RP Dr. Alfredo Sáenz, SJ celebrated mass
regularly. He is one of the most lucid minds of the local and American
Catholicism. Author of more than 50 books and international speaker. In a
recent trip to Rome where he was one of the experts convened by the Pontifical
Council for Culture, which sponsored a Congress on the Church and American
Emancipation, he visited Cardinal Cañizares and told him about the
"experiment" of the Chapel, for which he received congratulations
from both the Cardinal and Mons. Ferrer.
Then more celebrants were added, some four in
total, which made it possible for 4 years not to miss the Holy Mass any Sunday
or feast of precept, including Holy Week celebrations.
With this background I
want to tell you three episodes.
1 Prohibition of the Tridentine Mass in 2007:
That year, after the publication of the Motu
Proprio, we went to the former parish priest, Father Carlos White, to ask him
to give place to the Tridentine Mass in our chapel, without canceling the Novus
Ordo. He said yes, so that on October 14, 2007, a very solemn Mass was sung.
Another was foreseen for the 28th of the same month, but Cardinal Bergoglio
(whose plan on the subject didn’t match with this mass), ordered to close it
definitively, which was communicated to us by the Parochial Vicar, by the
Chaplain of the traditionalists here, by the Pastor and by the Episcopal Vicar
of the Zone (always by word). As a result, we had the suspension of the
Tridentine Mass in October 2007 until now.
2 Closing of the Sacred Heart Chapel in 2010:
After this outrage, the neighbors decided to
remain silent (not to go to Ecclesia Dei) because, knowing the persecutory ways
of Bergoglio, we prefer to stay with the Novus Ordo in Latin and as the Church
commands, and not risk what we had for the Tridentine Mass. Thus we live in
peace for three more years.
But in March 2010 the parish priest changed
(Father White left the Archdiocese to the south of Buenos Aires, about 2,000
Km. It is clear that he did not get along well with the Cardinal). The new
priest, a man who can be quietly placed within the Third World movement, was
not happy with the ways of the chapel and reluctantly tolerated them until, in
disagreement with a Corpus Christi procession that had been done for four years
and that was not forbidden, interrupted the ceremony and finally closed the
chapel, throwing the neighbors and leaving the neighborhood in the hands of the
Protestant sects that patrol it.
3 New request for Tridentine Mass in 2010:
As a means of defending our rights, more than
100 faithful who for four years had attended there, integrating a perfectly
formed and stable group, we request by letter the application of the Motu
Proprio to the parish priest. He replied that it will not be granted because
the Cardinal does not allow it (always by word, they do not write when they
misbehave). The Zonal Bishop told me exactly the same thing that the cardinal
does not allow them. We then turned to the Cardinal who has not answered us for
more than a month, despite the repeated calls we made searching for him.
We are about to appeal to Ecclesia Dei these
days.
All these events are detailed in our blog
(Except the suspension of the Tridentine Mass of 2007 that we will do shortly).
We have even published the audio of the interruption of the ceremony that made
the parish priest to scold us.
If something of this comes out on your blog, I
think it will be a great pressure to try to have Justice restored in our
Archdiocese, where progressivism is devastating the Church.
If you have time watch two videos that we
publish of a procession of Christ Rey 2009 to give an idea of what happened
here. This will no longer be seen on the streets of Buenos Aires.
I have 52 years and 7 children of my only wife
with whom I have been married for more than 22 years.
Dear Paco Pepe, I send you a big hug and await
your news. Any clarification you need I will do it with pleasure.
