[Catholic Caucus] Francis' Autobiography "Hope" is Hopeless on the Traditional Latin Mass: Same old, same old, same old, same old

 

It is always hilarious to read another tirade of Francis against the Traditional Latin Mass, traditionalists in general, and especially young people who love Tradition -- because, as usual, it is HE who sounds old and out of tune.

Like those pre-demential elderly who keep saying the same things ("In my days, things were better,"  or, "you people are just lazy,"  or, "nobody understood what the priest said"), his arguments are the same, and he repeats them on his new autobiography "Hope", released today by Random House:

He goes on by telling his biographer of the story of an American Cardinal (Cupich or McElroy, for sure) who, when asked by two priests to "allow" them to celebrate the Latin Mass, told them to learn Vietnamese of Spanish instead (cf. below), because it would be more "useful"... Which is absolutely idiotic, when one remembers that the glorious age of Catholicism in America was the one in which great men and women (from Bishop Neumann to Mother Cabrini) served the immigrants while extolling and preserving the great Latin Mass that brought together the faithful from all over the world!

Wow, how can young people not be attracted to the same complaints over, and over, and over, and over, and over again? Maybe they are tired of old people who burn through their inheritance? The inheritance which is their birthright.

How would anyone pay one penny for the endless self-righteous bile spoken by the man?...

Didn’t realize Francis even had an autobiography.

I see it’s done in the cheesy, modern, Madison Avenue style of politicians seeking higher office and movie stars trying to burnish their image. All with a suitably empty declaration “HOPE” on the cover.

Walk together where? Certainly not towards God; maybe towards Pachamama.

Lighten up, Francis.

Apparently the Catholic Church is the only organization in the history of mankind where an 88 year-old man can keep a straight face while scolding young people for not being hip or trendy enough. LOL.
