Francis preached on October 11 in St Peter's celebrating the 60th anniversary of the Vatican II disaster. The corps of John XXIII, one of the culprits for the catastrophe, was there in a glass sarcophagus.
In his homily, Francis, mirroring his own nostalgia for the 1960s, criticised "nostalgia for the past.”
He complained about "progressivism" that lines up behind the world [= Francis' own position] and "traditionalism" that longs for a "bygone world" - as if the Gospel and the Catholic Faith were "bygone." He accused both of lack of "love" and "infidelity" and of "Pelagian egoism".
Then he took refuge in word games, “The Council rediscovered the living river of Tradition, without remaining mired in traditions.” Opposing "Tradition" and "traditions" is the usual trick to attack Tradition.
Finally, he criticised his own character: “How many of us are unable to live the faith with joy? Without grumbling, criticising. A Church in love with Jesus has no time for quarrels, gossip and disputes. May God free us from being critical and intolerant.”
"So let us be confident, let us not be unprepared, let us not be outflanked, let us be wise, vigilant, fighting against those who are trying to tear the faith out of our souls and morality out of our hearts, so that we may remain Catholics, remain united to the Blessed Virgin Mary, remain united to the Roman Catholic Church, remain faithful children of the Church."- Abp. Lefebvre
