TYLER, Texas (LifeSiteNews) — Bishop Joseph Strickland of Tyler, Texas, urged the faithful to pray for Pope Francis in the hopes he will reverse his continued assault against the Traditional Latin Mass.
On December 30, Strickland tweeted a quote from Pope Pius XII, warning against the alteration of the traditional liturgy and theology of the Catholic Church. Stickland implored the faithful to pray for Pope Francis in light of his relentless attacks on the Latin Mass and the traditional sacraments in his July 2021 motu proprio Traditionis Custodes and the Vatican’s December 2021 Responsa to questions regarding the Traditional Mass.
“I am worried by the Blessed Virgin’s messages to Lucy of Fatima,” Pius XII had said, according to Strickland. “This persistence of Mary about the dangers which menace the Church is a Divine warning against the suicide of altering the Faith, in Her liturgy, Her theology and Her soul. I hear all around me innovators who wish to dismantle the Sacred Chapel, destroy the universal flame of the true Faith of the Church, reject Her ornaments and make Her feel remorse for Her historical past.”
“Pray for Pope Francis to resist these same forces that his predecessor fought 70+ years ago. ‘Come Lord Jesus, fill the hearts of your faithful and renew the face of the earth,’” added the bishop.

Did any pope in the last 100 years utter more prophetic words than this?
