Thanks for the article. A shepherd should work to heal wounds, to spur reconciliation. It weighed on John Paul and Benedict’s heart that a number of good Catholics seemed to be outside or bordering on being outside of communion with the Supreme Pontiff. They worked to heal these wounds. Now it seems they are being reopened. With Mass attendance so low, and reduced further by COVID, why does Francis seem to be driving traditionalist Catholics out of Holy Mother Church?

Latin Mass Catholics are no threat to Novus Ordo Catholics. And they keep some parishes afloat. When I’ve attended the Latin Mass, I haven’t found a bunch of divisive, anti-Vatican II types. If they are, they keep it to themselves.

I wonder why God is permitting this chapter in the Church? The Great Apostasy? The Apocalypse? I’ve tried and continue to try to give Francis the benefit of the doubt but, the embrace of James Martin and Pelosi, the angry contempt for the Latin Mass Catholics, demotions of Burke and Sarah, horrible appointments, the weird Pachamama stuff, the Gnostic-like stuff coming from the Pontifical Academy For Life … What are we supposed to think after a while? And yet I just cannot attend Society of St. Pius V type Masses.

There is a Society of St. Pius V (SSPV). They are sedevacantist. The organization founded by Archbishop Lefebvre, The Society of Saint Pius X (SSPX), is not.

The Irony is that the SSPX has been granted faculties by Francis as part of the extended Year of Mercy. AND the marriages are recognized without any need for regularization, which means they were NEVER irregular. Faculties are given for Confession, Confirmation, etc.

Why would Bishop Burbidge allow this to happen? Exactly what harm is done to continue the traditional Latin mass? I see tremendous harm by the unjustified attack on the Latin mass.

I think that Satan planted weeds among the wheat and that is what we have today at the Vatican.

We are watching the destruction of our church as predicted in the Third Letter of Fatima. That letter was NOT released as directed in 1960. The consequences of the failure to obey Our Lady is the destruction of our church. We are and will lose this battle, but Lucifer will rule for but one day.

The enthronement of Lucifer Black Mass took place on June 29, 1963 simultaneously in Rome and in the United States. Read Windswept House by Malachi Martin to get a glimpse of the evil and an overview of the geopolitical players including the World Economic Forum, the great reset, and the need to neutralize the Catholic Church.

God Himself put our Pope in office so we must obey him.

Mary, Queen of the Clergy, pray for them.
