BREAKING - Pope Francis Officially Insults The Mass Of The Ages

BREAKING - Pope Francis Officially Insults The Mass Of The Ages

The "rumors" that have been circulating about the pope's intention to strangle the Usus Antqior have all been confirmed.  Here is the official decree.  Please scroll down for the English version.  At the very bottom is a link to an accompanying letter; again, scroll down for that English translation. 

Note the frequent references to "Saint Paul VI" and "Saint John Paul II".  I think we now see why those canonizations were hurried along - to give credibility to the claim that the Novus Ordo can actually supplant the Tridentine Mass.  But if we need to invoke canonized pontiffs to establish legitimacy of rites, let's examine Quo Primum, authored by Pope Saint Pius V just a few years after the Council of Trent ended.  From the third paragraph: "Let all everywhere adopt and observe what has been handed down by the Holy Roman Church, the Mother and Teacher of the other churches, and let Masses not be sung or read according to any other formula than that of this Missal published by Us. This ordinance applies henceforth, now, and forever,.." (Emphasis mine)  Please read the entire thing, which happens to be an Apostolic Constitution, as opposed to a Motu Propitio.  Pope Francis cannot overrule that.

Two weeks ago, I posted a video from Taylor Marshall about the situation with my own commentary.  Again I reiterate my claim that this supposed invocation of "unity" as a reason to strangle the Traditional Latin Mass was merely smoke and mirrors.  That too has been confirmed.  This is nothing more than sheer hatred of Tradition - and part of the scheme to make the church more suitable as a vehicle to legitimize the New World Order/One World Government.  I think that is the end game.

Meanwhile, we must resist this diabolical attack with everything that we have.  That may mean walking away from our parishes (with our donations) to find where a Latin Mass is being celebrated.  During the lockdown, no entity beholden to the bishops - including the FSSP - had their doors open for Mass; indeed, in most cases the restrictions imposed by the bishops were more draconian than those of civil authorities.  The SSPX did offer Mass to the public, albeit in conformity with local restrictions.  I attended those SSPX Masses; driving 6 hours round trip.  It was worth every minute to actually receive Our Lord physically in Holy Communion and attend a Mass in person, even if in my car.  I remind one and all that the SSPX is not in schism with Rome and was, for at least two months, the only Catholic organization looking out for the sacramental needs of the Catholic faithful.  If necessary, I will attend SSPX mases once again.

Again, we are presented with the need to resist evil in the Church, even if that evil emanates from the Holy See.  We either prepare ourselves to do that, or we risk the eternal loss of our souls and those of our loved ones.

Yes. I’ve been saying this for a long time. The laity holds the power, exercise it!!!!

Why should I scroll to the english translation? I think it should be in latin, so I can listen to it without understanding it.

It's no longer Jesus Christ's Church, it's Bergoglio's "church".

"I say this because it's my Church!", Pope Francis.

The Impopester is a Marxist installed by the New World Order to destroy the Church.

I’ve been told that Jesuits are like that.

Not to be taken lightly, although I was raised Catholic ( now attending a spirit inspired church) us Bible readers can see easily the age old prophecies are being fulfilled. The Catholic Church has fallen , as many Presbyterian, Methodist and Anglican have. Christianity is being attacked from every nation, every angle, there is nothing clean, righteous and pure being spewed from any government. Satan is using everything in his toolbox, Covid fear, distrust, division….and senile, decrepit old Joe is leading the attack. Christians, prepare for a historic battle.

“I say this because it’s my Church!”, Pope Francis.

Did he actually say that?

Oh please, the Latin Mass is exactly the same words every time. Read through it in whatever you favorite language is (or in more than one) and then you can bask in the beauty of the Latin language and its root influence on English while internalizing the content.

I guess Pope Boy never learned the lesson of New Coke.

The thing about New Coke is that the execs who approved it initially insisted they were sticking with it as the flagship while “Classic” would around for the loyalists who preferred it. This was essentially the move that JP2 and B16 took albeit belatedly... taking decades longer than the Coke execs. Bergoglio’s latest move would be analogous to a new CEO in 1986, saying “hmmm New Coke is fading while Classic is regaining market share. Let’s scrap the latter.” That would make no sense ... unless the CEO is a saboteur secretly working for Pepsi.

There’s a reason there have been no Jesuit pope’s until now and I pray there’s never another one after Francis.

I survived 7 years of Jesuit education and still managed to convert to the True Faith in my 50’s after decades of internal debate. As a protestant teen in the late 70’s, I understood immediately that there was something inherently wrong with Novus Ordo. Time has simply proven that to be true.

The Holy Spirit will soon remove this heretic and send us a good and faithful shepherd.

Well, if it was like the Latin Mass, you would listen to it while following every word in English in a little book you hold in your hand.

People are fixated on the "Latin" part of the Latin Mass, but the language isn't really what this is about. It's a different, much richer rite.

Just a little sample: the New Rite starts at many parishes with a large company of people processing up the aisle to a cheery-if-insipid tune, followed by the priest grinning at the people from behind a microphone and wishing them "Good morning!". (No, that's not necessarily how it's supposed to be done. But it often is how it is done.)

The Old Rite begins with thousand-year-old Gregorian chant (with a text almost always taken from Scripture) as the priest and servers approach the steps in front of the altar, and then fall on their knees, saying sotto voce Latin prayers, taken straight from the Old Testament, about how unworthy they are to offer this sacrifice. See the difference?

Latin and English text

Well, looking at the translation at the link, to me, the first part of the Latin Rite seems very scripturally rich.
I am surprised to see the confiteor three times.
I am also surprised to see a Final Gospel after communion.
Much of the liturgy of the Eucharist looks very familiar.
I am surprised that some priests would not even consider concelebrating the Novus Ordo. To say you do not prefer it is one thing. Yo say it is so far away from truth that you cannot even pray it with your fellow Catholic Christians seems a stretch to me, and not right. And yet I am also appalled that the Pope bears such a grudge against the Latin Mass and it’s fans. He probably thinks they are cult members. I think there is plenty of room for the different rites and variations of the rites, as justified by theological/scriptural inquiry guided by the Holy Spirit.

I was an altar boy for many years of my youth. I learned enough Latin that I appreciated it. The original Mass was a lot of shock and awe and I was taught that I could go to any RC church in the world and it would be the same. That was very unifying. I never liked the Mass after it was changed - especially all of the hootenanny songs. NOTHING is more magnificent than a hymn sung along with a pipe organ.
