• the evil, Conciliar, New Mass (if a person feels it helps him) [see here];
  
• the Sedevacantists’ Masses [see here];
  
• the Feeneyites’ Masses [Hear Bishop Williamson’s words, when he was in Fr. Bitzer’s feeneyite chapel in Louisville.].
  

Quote:[W]e must not waver for one moment ... in not being with those who are in the process of betraying us. Some people are always admiring the grass in the neighbor’s field. Instead of looking to their friends, to the Church’s defenders, to those fighting on the battlefield, they look to our enemies on the other side. “After all, we must be charitable, we must be kind, we must not be divisive, after all, they are celebrating the Tridentine Mass, they are not as bad as everyone says”—but they are betraying us—betraying us! They are shaking hands with the Church’s destroyers. They are shaking hands with people holding modernist and liberal ideas condemned by the Church. So they are doing the devil’s work.

• accepting the compromise on which they are based,
  
• accepting the direction taken by the Conciliar Church and the consequent destruction of the Catholic Faith and practices, and
  
• accepting, in particular, the lawfulness and doctrinal soundness of the Novus Ordo Missae and Vatican II.
  
• That is why a Catholic ought not to attend their Masses.
  

Quote:[Be] content to attend the least contaminated Tridentine Mass that there is anywhere near you ....

• His advice is irrational because spiritual contamination is spiritual poison. If all of the masses in a region are poisonous (i.e., contaminated), then faithful Catholics must do without the Mass, out of love for God, and for the sake of the Catholic Faith, just as countless Catholics have, in history. [See here]
  
  
• Although we must not accept even the tiniest contamination (i.e., spiritual poison), Bishop Williamson’s advice is even more obviously irrational because it is so relativistic. It contains no limiting principle except conditioning attendance on the presence of some other local mass which is even worse than the one he recommends be attended. It is so irrational to choose a mass however bad it is, “justifying” it simply because it is less contaminated than some other (worse) mass nearby!
  
  
• Bishop Williamson’s advice is evil because it includes the un-Catholic practice of praying with those persons objectively outside the Catholic religion (e.g., those in the new conciliar religion). Although we do not judge their interior culpability, those persons objectively are in a false (conciliar) church and objectively support the enemies of Our Lord Jesus Christ. It is forbidden to pray with those who are objectively in a false religion. [See here]
  
  
• Bishop Williamson’s advice is evil because it includes the un-Catholic practice of praying in the buildings of a false religion (e.g., those belonging to the false conciliar religion). The buildings of any false religion (e.g., the new conciliar religion) are bad places to pray!
  
  
• The indult mass is a Tridentine Mass said within the new, false conciliar religion. Bishop Williamson’s advice is evil because it promotes the error that the Traditional Mass or anything else can be good inside a false religion (such as the new conciliar religion)!
  
  
• The truth is that everything in a false religion greatly offends God, even those things which would please God in His true Church.
  

Quote:King Hermenegild, son of Leovigild king of the Visigoths, was converted, from the Arian heresy, to the Catholic faith, by the preaching of the venerable Leander, Bishop of Seville, one of my oldest and dearest friends. ... It was the Feast of Easter. At an early hour of the night, when all was still, his wicked father sent an Arian Bishop to him, with this message, that if he would receive Communion from his hands, (the Communion of a sacrilegious consecration!) he should be restored to favor. True to his Creator, the man of God gave a merited reproof to the Arian Bishop, and, with holy indignation, rejected his sinful offer; for though his body lay prostrate in chains, his soul stood on ground beyond the reach of tyranny. The Bishop therefore, returned whence he had come. The Arian father raged, and straightway sent his lictors [i.e., officers], bidding them repair to the prison of the unflinching Confessor of the Lord, and murder him on the spot. They obeyed; they entered the prison; they cleft his skull with a sword; they took away the life of the body, and slew what he, the slain one, had sworn to count as vile. Miracles soon followed, whereby heaven testified to the true glory of Hermenegild; for during, the night, there was heard sweet music nigh to the body of the King and Martyr,—King indeed, because he was a Martyr. [Recounted in the Dialogues of St. Gregory the Great, quoted in The Liturgical Year, Dom Prosper Gueranger, Paschal Time, Vol. II, April 13 (parenthetical words in the original; bracketed word added; emphasis added).]

Quote:For all the sacraments of Christ, if not combined with the Charity which belongs to the unity of Christ [i.e., the unity of the Catholic Church], are possessed not unto salvation, but unto judgment. [See St. Augustine, ad Petilian, the Donatist, Bk. III, ch.40, ¶46 (bracketed words and emphasis added).]

Pope Paul VI, General Audience, 17th March, 1965: Description of some initial reactions to Liturgy Reform

‘What do people think about the reform of the liturgy? The replies can be grouped into two categories. First, there are those that give evidence of a degree of confusion and therefore of uneasiness. Until now people were comfortable; they could pray the way they wished; all were quite familiar with the way the Mass proceeded. Now on all sides there are new things, changes, surprises: it has even gone so far as to do away with ringing the Sanctus bell. Then there are all those prayers that no one can any longer find; standing to receive communion; the end of the Mass cut off abruptly after the blessing. Everyone makes the responses; there is much moving about; the prayers and the readings are spoken out loud. In short, there is no more peace, things are understood less than before, and so on.

We shall not criticize these remarks because that would require showing how great a lack of understanding about religious rites they manifest. They do not indicate a true devotion or a genuine perception of the import of the Mass. Rather they betray a certain spiritual laziness, the refusal to make the personal effort toward understanding and participation… We should not think that after a while there can be a return to the former, undisturbed devotion or apathy. No, the new way of doing things will have to be different; it will have to prevent and to shake up the passivity of the people present at Mass. Before, it was enough to assist; now, it is necessary to take part. Before, being there was enough; now, attention and activity are required. Before, everyone could doze or perhaps even chatter; now all must listen and pray.’

If you are Catholic, the Cristeros are your ancestors in the Faith, no matter your nationality, race or social standing. – Anonymous

Quote:Francisco, by the Grace of God and favor of the Apostolic See, Archbishop of Guadalajara.

To the Very Reverend Dean and Chapter of the Cathedral and to the Reverend clergy, secular and regular, and to all the faithful of the archdiocese.

Peace and Benediction in Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

Beloved Brethren:

Certain motives of prudence have prevented me from communicating directly with my beloved flock; although, I have not for one moment ceased to watch over its well-being; but now I deem it my duty to direct you a brief message breaking the silence, which was responsible for much anxiety to souls, although this time it was a silence which hard circumstances imposed upon us.

Very well, it is known to everybody that the new political Constitution, while it recognizes many of the rights of the people, having put aside the Catholic Church altogether (under which the majority of the people live; although, they do not all receive our holy religion in its entirety, but are often the victims of modern errors), tries to subjugate and oppress that Church, often condemning her to the point of suppressing her very name.

Are we able to reconcile this with the sacred and inalienable rights of this sacred Institution? And how can Catholics suffer an order of things that obliges them, not only to renounce the most sought gift of heaven, but also to ratify this oppression by their acquiescence?

I found myself obliged to protest, as I did, against the new constitution, as a representative of this portion of the Catholic Church, and made such protest together with the greater part of the Mexican Episcopate, whose letter was formulated in United States on the 24th of February last, as you yourselves, dear beloved, must already know. Their measured words, and convincing reasons, and the declarations which appear in this protest, give you all to understand, in general terms, what ought to be the reasonable interpretation and real spirit of the new legislation, and also what should be your conduct toward it, as Catholics and faithful sons of the Church; they also make known to our enemies that it is not the spirit of sedition or conspiracy which animates the pastors of the Church, the venerable clergy or the faithful themselves.

Be sure, my beloved sons, that the lot of the Spouse of Jesus Christ is not different from that of her Divine Founder: Tribulations, persecutions, shame, blood and martyrdom is her patrimony and her heritage. “The disciple is not better than his Master.” “If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you.”

The history of the Church teaches us those things; making us also understand that, as it happened to the Barque of Peter, on Lake Gennesaret – after the tempest, will come calm and tranquility.

And now that we realize the divine warnings, let us not content ourselves with vain laments, but, rather, secure the fruits of our sufferings and purify according to the high designs of the Savior, our souls, by contemplating the indestructible principles of our holy religion, which makes us love virtue and detest vice; also, to walk always in hold dread of God, and to encourage the hope of better times, and the upending goods, which alone we are permitted to covet.

Now is the time to revive within us the true Catholic spirit, and eliminate all compromise with modern errors, condemned by the Church, to separate the straw from the grain; thus, then practically will shine forth the splendor of high Christian virtue, and thus the enemies of the Church will recognize and glorify God and His Christ.

The venerable clergy is invited and exhorted by the present persecution, in a thousand ways, to serve as an example to the common faithful; for they have put their hand to the plow to procure their proper sanctification, which their high state exacts; and the faithful in whatever condition in which they are placed, having the clear and definite voice of the Divine Master, who applies to us His gentle lash, must also give a hand to the work of their own sanctification. If the contrary occur, it is to be feared that we may be abandoned by the Divine Clemency, and that for us there may come the terrible way when the Sun of Justice will be hidden from us forever.

May He illumine our souls and concede us the grace to follow the truth, so that our faith may be revived, and our charity inflamed, and we may resolve anew to serve and love God and the Savior, with all the force of our souls. May the Holy Virgin of Guadalupe be very propitious to us! May we always implore those potent graces, so that we may the better be able to resist, in time of temptation, and tribulation, and, thus, to conserve unblemished our glorious faith and time-honored customs.

I impart to you my paternal benediction, imploring from above all good things upon you.

This pastoral letter is to be read in the usual manner.

Given from one of my parishes, on the 4th day of June, 1917.

Pope Francis changes Opus Dei, says a bishop can no longer lead it
Uncertainty remains among commentators on the motu proprio and whether it is intended as a punitive measure by Pope Francis.



Pope Francis with Monsignor Fernando Ocáriz Braña (L) and Monsignor Mariano Fazio ®,
the Prelate and Auxiliary Vicar of Opus Dei respectively.

Quote:With full respect for the nature of the specific charism described by the above-mentioned Apostolic Constitution, it is intended to strengthen the conviction that, for the protection of the peculiar gift of the Spirit, a form of government based more on charism than on hierarchical authority is needed. Therefore, the Prelate will not be honored or insignificant with the episcopal order.

Quote:The argument was always “If Opus Dei has a bishop, why can’t the Traditional orders like FSSP or ICK have a bishop?” Francis is fearful that groups with a bishop on top have “break-away powers” like Abp. Lefebvre (not that Opus Dei would break away – they are tight with Francis). https://t.co/4TDAC135Br

Archbishop Lefebvre: “Availing ourselves of the Indult is tantamount to putting ourselves into a state of contradiction because at the same time that Rome gives the Fraternity of St. Peter, for example, or Le Barroux Abbey and other groups authorization to say the Mass of All Time, they also require young priests to sign a profession of faith in which the spirit of the Council must be accepted. It is a contradiction: the spirit of the Council is embodied in the New Mass. How is it possible to desire to preserve the Mass of all time while accepting the spirit that destroys this Mass of All Time? It is completely contradictory. One day, very gently, they will oblige those who have been granted the use of the Tridentine Mass, the Mass of All Time, also to accept the New Mass. And they will tell them that it is simply a matter of squaring themselves with what they have signed, since they signed a statement that they accepted the spirit of the Council and its reforms. You cannot put yourself thus into an unbelievable, irrational contradiction. It is a very uncomfortable situation. This is what has created the difficulty for these groups that have signed it and that currently find themselves in a kind of impasse."

Quote:“The Pope has a bigger agenda: he’s got to get on with other things, talking about the environment and protecting migrants, and carrying on the work of the Church. We’re not going to go down a rabbit hole on this. . . . Years ago, if a Cardinal had allowed himself to respond like this, the whole world would have come down; but today obviously times have changed. . . . Here we can also allow ourselves a bit of insolence. So much is known that the media will not tear their garments for so little.” (here and here).
