I’m hearing the tridentalists are a growing segment of the church. Wonder why they want to kill very traditional Catholic growth?
Rock solid pro life, pro natural family, natural marriage, natural gender, anti-immorality. In short, they toe the Catholic line as it is written.
It must be a ‘Top Down’ sort of growth, based on wealth and donations. Won’t be the first centuries-old institition rapidly corrupted by a series of money bombs.
The traditional Catholic movement is an embarrassment to the institutional Catholic Church because of their success ... just like "Deplorables" are an embarrassment to the Republican Party establishment.
Yes...the ONLY growing segment pretty much.
They want to kill it off because they hate it....hate it the same way Satan despises everything good and holy. They sang "a new church into being" of happy-clappy-church, but it stood for nothing, got grayer and grayer, and is now dying on the vine. Meanwhile traditionalists keep growing and growing. They abandon churches, we move in....they sell off properties, we buy them. They completely shut for lockdowns, we tried to stay open as much as possible.
As bad as this looks, this is a last-ditch panic move by a small-minded, autocratic and petty man, spurred on by autocratic liberals who are salivating over the fact that through him they seized control of the most powerful office in Christianity.
But it won't matter ultimately. I won't give up the Latin Mass and neither will lots and lots of other people. They can't stop us.
