Will you answer this simple question?

Will the Catholic Church be better off if it returns to Traditional Catholicism and the Traditional Latin Mass?

Yes or No?

If the Church returns to the Latin Mass, and does nothing else, she will NOT be better off at all.

Restoring the use of a specific liturgical language, returning to the sacramental and liturgical forms (not just the Mass, but the other sacraments and hourly prayers as well) of 1960 may well be a necessary condition to restoring the Church. It is not a sufficient condition. Returning to the "status quo ante" Vatican II will put us back in the condition that created Vatican II. WE NEED TO CLEAN UP OUR ACT in a whole host of ways. Doing a better job of identifying and removing sodomites, heretics, and infidels from among the clergy and religious IS ABSLOUTELY a necessary condition for restoration of the Church ... and a far more important one than liturgical forms.

The "new Mass" and the revolutionary chaos that accompanied it did not cause our problems. Quite the contrary: our problems, of sodomy, heresy, and infidelity caused the "new Mass" and the revolutionary chaos that accompanied it. You have the cart before the horse.

I realize that this is a difficult truth for many "Traditionalists" to accept.
