Go to the liberal parishes you see, typically, old folks and very few of them
Patently untrue...the suburbs are teeming with liberal parishes and parishioners of all ages...can’t imagine what you are seeing...
Go to a Latin Mass or other orthodox parish and you see young families—BIG families...
Do you not believe that the TLM is the first thing in the crosshairs of Francis’ brood...the bulk of current prelates-and parishioners-absolutely hate it, and all it stands for...which is why I love it...
African Catholics will be there to carry the torch.
Um, please note the last time something originating from the continent of Africa produced anything other than violence and bloodshed...along with ‘torches’ to light rubber tire necklaces...FWIW, I have been saying the next long tenure Pope-clearly not this one-would come from a classic third world country, and bring the final impoverishment of the faith with him...any of the countries in Africa fit that bill nicely...
I was imprecise. I meant the *flagrantly* liberal ones, not the dopey liberal go-along-to-get-along types. Yes, you are right that the average suburban parish is teeming with the latter. But those folks are not going to survive the coming persecution. They will either grow in their faith or apostasize.

Of course! But I don't give a flip. They are prying that Mass out of my cold dead fingers. It *was never abrogated*, and it is the right of EVERY priest of the Latin Church to say it, as per Summorum Pontificum. Anyone tries to take it away, we send them out on their ear. If the POPE himself tries to take it away, we tell him to go pound sand. Period. Only a complete ultramontanist dope thinks that our allegiance to the See of Peter includes the willful abandonment of the traditional Roman liturgy.

What a ridiculous statement. St. Josephine Bakhita. The Ugandan martyrs. The Catholics in Nigeria and elsewhere whose lives are threatened by jihadist freaks everytime they walk to Church. The African bishops who are telling the West to stuff their stupid ideas on marriage into a sack.
