Bring it on, modernists.
According to a recent article from Rorate Caeli, the Congregation for Divine Worship is preparing instructions to further implement Traditionis Custodes, with the goal of releasing them next week. The author of the article says that “The instruction will try (among other things) to impose over the global Church, by violent and illegitimate will of the legislator, the blueprint established for the Diocese of Rome by its Cardinal Vicar months ago regarding all Sacraments other than the Holy Eucharist.” Rome’s protocol forbids the celebration of all the 1962 sacramental rites other than the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, and even the Mass is tampered with and gravely restricted. It appears that the Holy Father wasn’t pleased that few people followed his motu proprio.
In other words, the allowance of the Mass of All Time is merely a nicotine patch to help trads like us slowly but surely cure our addiction to traditional Catholicism (a.k.a. Catholicism).
While the Mass is still allowed (for now), Pope Francis was clear that this is being done “to provide for the good of those who are rooted in the previous form of celebration and need to return in due time to the Roman Rite promulgated by Saints Paul VI and John Paul II.” In other words, the allowance of the Mass of All Time is merely a nicotine patch to help trads like us slowly but surely cure our addiction to traditional Catholicism (a.k.a. Catholicism). It’s not to obey Pope St. Pius V’s Quo Primum, which granted all priests the right to say the Tridentine Mass “without any scruple of conscience or fear of incurring any penalty, judgment, or censure.” Francis’s plan is to eventually ban all of the 1962 sacramental rites.
Therefore, if this report is true, and the only place to receive the same sacraments as all our ancestors is the catacombs, then to the catacombs we will go.
We return the favor to His Holiness: our goal is that one day, the entire Roman Catholic Church will forever return to Her sacramental rites, doctrine and practice as it was before the Second Vatican Council and the revolution it came with. Therefore, if this report is true, and the only place to receive the same sacraments as all our ancestors is the catacombs, then to the catacombs we will go. We will stop at nothing to pass on the faith of all time through the Mass and Sacraments of All Time. Whichever priests are willing to suffer to feed us, those shepherds will have our support, regardless of their geographical distance or canonical irregularity.
We will follow the faith that the Holy See is charged with passing on, even if the current occupant has failed miserably at doing so.
We will not be intimidated by charges of disobedience, rigidity, or “(doubting) the Holy Spirit.” In resisting Francis, we manifest our obedience to his predecessors, Our Lord, and nearly 2,000 years of Church teaching and tradition. We will follow the faith that the Holy See is charged with passing on, even if the current occupant has failed miserably at doing so.
Francis’s fellow Jesuit St. Robert Bellarmine instructs us that “it is lawful to resist him (the pope), if he assaulted souls, or troubled the state, and much more if he strove to destroy the Church. It is lawful, I say, to resist him, by not doing what he commands, and hindering the execution of his will…” Therefore, rest assured that no matter what happens next week, traditional Catholicism is not going anywhere. We did not back down to the Arians, to the Eastern Schismatics, to the Protestants, to the French Revolution, or to anyone else, and we will not back down to the modernists.
Faith of our Fathers! Holy Faith!
We will be true to thee till death.

The abomination of desolation?
Maybe I can just become an Episcopalian. They don’t have to actually believe anything and they are more fun.
Holy Spirit, cleanse your Church.
Send us good and faithful shepherds.
Whatever …Pope what’s his nuts has no power over me and my Lord and Savior.
Frank the Abominable is doing everything he can to smash Catholicism into the dirt. It’s working too. We have pope who’s a destructive, evil crypto-communist who destroys his own people and Church with intention and pre-meditation.
Like his lying, murderous father in hell. He’s second only to Satan himself in destroying us.
We’re not allowed to pray for him to burn, but we may not need to.
The communist purge of the Catholic Church continues to grow exponentially...
