RORATE: As we first published here, the Francis iteration of the Vatican came out today with an instruction in the form of answered "dubia" by the Congregation for Divine Worship.
The summary of the responses: all Sacraments in the Pontificale Romanum are banned (Ordinations, confirmations); Sacraments according to the Rituale (Baptism, Matrimony, Extreme Unction) only in the setting of Personal Parishes. "Bination" (celebrating both the Traditional Mass and the new order on the same day) is forbidden. There are other points.
Our opinion: in the midst of the gigantic crisis afflicting the Church in the West, including the crisis of attendance following the pandemic, that this violence is the priority of the Vatican is very revealing. It is revealing of the false mercy of this Evil Shepherd elected by irresponsible Cardinals in 2013. It is revealing of the spirit of spite that reigns in this totalitarian pontificate. It is revealing of the disgusting presence of Satan in the middle of the Church.
Benedict XVI had brought liturgical peace to the Church. An end to the liturgical wars. The current pope has chosen to reignite them. There is no logical reason for that. Just an underlying desire for division and violence.
Despite it all, this shall pass. This grotesque spectacle of a pontificate will come to an end. The Traditional Rite has not seen its last chapter, certainly not under this charade of a ruler, a caricature of a comical Latin American caudillo! No, no, if Paul VI in all his power and the great power of the Council in the 1970s was not able to crush us, this clique of geriatric marauders will certainly not succeed. Just hang on. Time is on our side.
Ignore this nonsense as much as you can. Support the clergymen who resist this illegitimate action. We’ll muddle through. Time is on our side.
Tick-tock.

I remember two weeks after his election, I had misgivings about him, but gave him another month and a half before I knew with certainty he was not a person of virtue.
