Why Can’t I Be a Good Trad?
Harvey Millican's Blog: Musings of a Trad Dad ^ | February 18, 2023 | Harvey Millican

Why Can’t I Be a Good Trad?

The rumors swirling – nearly certainly true at this point – of the realization of a demonic plot, long in the making, to completely kill the Latin Mass and bury those who worship according to her rites have reached a dizzying fever pitch. Just today, the Remnant ran a piece by Diane Montagna claiming that the forthcoming document to be shat out by the whatever Roman dicastery currently jockeying to be the antipope’s sphincter of the month will include a prohibition of ever celebrating the vetus ordo on any Sunday of the year. That’s right, they will try to kill our spirit. They will also apparently try to enshrine the Novus Ordo Mass as “henceforth, the only official rite of the Latin Church.”

I’m sorry, what?

I couldn’t quite follow as I was sopping up the gin from the front of my shirt.

Seems to me another pope wrote something similar (yet even more forceful) a few hundred years ago in a little document called Quo Primum. Here it is again for those who’ve forgotten:

“We grant and concede in perpetuity that, for the chanting or reading of the Mass in any church whatsoever, this Missal is hereafter to be followed absolutely, without any scruple of conscience or fear of incurring any penalty, judgment, or censure, and may freely and lawfully be used. Nor are superiors, administrators, canons, chaplains, and other secular priests, or religious, of whatever title designated, obliged to celebrate the Mass otherwise than as enjoined by Us.”

I’m through with trying to figure out why they hate us. It’s obvious. The question I ask instead is this.

Why can’t I simply be a good trad?

If I had a nickel for every time Bergoglio has stumbled before a microphone or spoken with an atheist editor and stated that one needn’t be Catholic in any way, shape, or form to get to heaven… He has proclaimed that if one is Pentecostal (or Lutheran, Muslim, whatever) he should remain outside the Church because God apparently wanted him that way. Remember his late friend, “Bishop” Tony Palmer? What about the Lutheran woman he told should not convert but should instead receive Holy Communion with her Catholic husband? These people apparently need to remain as good whatever-the-hell-they-are’s and need never consider entering into the Mystical Body of Christ, the One, Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic Church.

Why them and not me?

Why can’t I be a good trad?

Isn’t that what God wants of me? Can’t I be what I desire to be and be good for the Church?

We all know the answer to this one too. You can’t be a good trad because tradition is at odds with the ape-ish freakshow they’re running out of Rome these days. Notice, they never go after anyone but the trads. Trads must be crushed. So if I simply didn’t call myself a Catholic, they wouldn’t care if I followed the heretical whims of my heart (providing I was “nice” to people and/or a sodomite). Well duh. That’s because they aren’t in the business of saving souls. But the one’s who are serious about saving their own souls and the souls of their families are those for him he/they reserve their greatest invective.

An Apostolic Constitution to break the spirit of an admittedly miniscule percentage of the Catholic populace…

Tomorrow I will be presenting a little bit more about how this document will be received.

Antipope = Bizarro Pope ...if that’s not too corny a Superman reference. Everything he’s supposed to be pro-, he’s anti- and everything he’s supposed to be anti-, he’s pro-.

You are one frightened, little man.
Where is your trust in God?

The pontiff you’re referring to is more accurately identified as Satan’s Pope for two reasons: first, because he is obviously doing Satan’s bidding as he proceeds to destroy what’s left of the one, holy, catholic and apostolic church founded by our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ; and secondly, because he is so obviously the spawn of the Satan Council (Vatican, 1962-1965), the proceedings of which were under the direct influence of Masonic and Protestant representatives who successfully persuaded the Council to replace the Catholic Church with what Archbishop LeFebvre has identified as the Conciliar Church. Thus the true Catholic Church has retreated back into the catacombs, so to speak, although Tridentine (Latin) Mass communities such as the SSPX, the FSSP, and others are now ministering to faithful Catholics throughout the world. It’s an ongoing tragedy however, that today millions of people are now worshiping at churches which, unbeknownst to them are no long Catholic.

I was reading in NR that since 2000, there has been only one convert to Catholicism in the United States for every four people who have left the faith (like me). This issue goes well beyond Francis. Paul VI, PJP II, and Benedict, were pretty much failures at reviving the faith.

I trust in Almighty God... not man.

Did you/ Do you believe in Christ's Real Presence in the Eucharist? -
or Not?

It's that simple.

No, you don't. If you did, you would believe that there are souls in Hell and that Christ wasn't lying about it.

Do not ever conflate demonic SSPX Schismatics
with FSSP or Christ the King- or others IN FAITHFUL COMMUNION with the One True Church.

Go full sede already and stop the whining about a Pope you clearly want nothing to do with.
And besides, you already have Pope Lefbreve for eternity.

You're so funny! A modernist Barron, VCII thumper calling a traditional Catholic liberal.

What a joke!

THERE IS ONLY ONE SOUL GOD WANTS US TO BE CONCERNED WITH.

Nobody else's, but our own.

The Latin Mass communities you approve of will soon lose their congregations when they acquiesce to the demands of Satan’s Pope and have only the Novus Ordo, available in every parish of the Conciliar Church. Deus vult!

Well that proves it. You're a very bitter, selfish person who only cares about herself.

I don't know you're marital status. But I have a wife and kids; and I am very concerned about their souls.
I have other family members, friends, clergy, first responders, members of the armed forces and I'm concerned about their souls also. I pray for them. I pray for those here on free republic.

I am concerned about the holy souls in Purgatory. Although I know they are saved, I pray that their release comes a little bit quicker.

I have no idea where you came up with such selfish attitude to only care about your own soul and no others but it's not Catholic. And I'm not surprised. P.S. I screen-shot your post for future reference.

That would be just fine and dandy with people like, Murph. She likes protestants and hates traditional catholics.

That's great your praying for everyone.
You good job.
There's one soul you better be concerned with.

When you fly on an airplane, the flight attendant instructs you to “put your oxygen mask on first,” before helping others.
Why is this an important rule for ensuring survival?
Because if you run out of oxygen yourself,
you can't help anyone else with their oxygen mask.

That’s a puerile comparison.

You have already revealed your selfishness; you only care about your own soul.

Is survival all you're concerned about? Not salvation?

Satan’s Pope is attempting to finalize the destruction of the Catholic Church as planned by the Satan Council (Vatican, 1962-1965). And no doubt you’re unaware, or in denial of the fact, that since the Council’s introduction of the Conciliar Church to replace the Catholic Church attendance at Holy Mass has DECREASED by fifty percent! Before the Satan Council attendance averaged around 76%. Attendance now averages around 25%. Does that concern you? Probably not!
