Although I am a Protestant, my interest in the Latin Mass results from years spent in the Southern Cone of South America. It was a time when there was ferment in the Catholic Churches of Argentina, Paraguay and Chile owing to what was then (and still is called) Liberation Theology. In reading I found that its influence was spread thanks to European Jesuits who, one wag put it, “were always the last to get the word.” I recall that a pastor Lefevbre was the leader of the Latin Mass movement, and to me he seemed an incredibly decent individual who was opposed by the Jesuit Marxists who were then (and apparently still are) infiltrating the Catholic Church. From those days thirty years ago I have followed the agony that has resulted from trying to do away with the Latin Mass: and for the life of me I can neither explain nor understand the effort to quash Catholics attempting to serve Christ and his Church. It is a tragedy.

It is worse than a tragedy, because it is no accident.

Jesuit Marxists

Marxism is necessarily anti-Christian. IMO, the fullness of Christianity is expressed in the Latin Mass. I think the Marxists also recognize this as Truth ... and therefore wish to destroy not only the Latin Mass but also to destroy we who are dedicated to it. They hate the Latin Mass because they hate God.

Perhaps Liberation Theology had died down in the Southern Cone by the time I lived there in the late 80s-90s, so I saw merely the same dissolution of the church through watered-down Liturgy and society in general -- what the "Liberation Theologists" wanted all along.
