Are you telling us that Leo XIII added the novelty of a prayer he just mde up whole-cloth?

No, it was after he collapsed on the altar, after having offered the Holy Mass, and receiving a vision of the state of the Church as it is today.

Are you telling us that Leo XIII added the novelty of a prayer he just mde up whole-cloth? Could he do that?

He was the Pope, and a great one too. He can do what he wants. I have never disputed that. I only got brownshirted because I said I wished the current Pope would do more to protect the orthodoxy of our Church and to protect the innocent victims of sexual predators in the clergy. For that, I was relentlessly accused of being a schismatic and an SSPXer, which I am not, and said so very clearly. I have said before, if the Pope says we are to do jumping jacks in the mass, then I will do them. It's his choice and power and authority. I am not against the NO Mass. I just decry the wacked-out abuses of it. If people would obey the Pope and his GIRMs, and stop preaching new-age nonsense, marxism and outright heresy from the pulpit, then the Church would be far better off and I wouldn't have to drive so far to go to church at a beautiful indult Mass.

I don't get what you mean with the "whole cloth" term. What are you trying to say by that?

Pope Leo XIII had a vision of Satan being given the 20th century to attack the Church as in the story of job. He saw what was coming and he gave us that great prayer to help defend our Church against the atack he knew would come in the 20th century.
