About our label as "traditionalists".....

Dear reader,

This time around I thought I would write about our situation in the Church of Eternal (not Modernist) Rome. When I say that I'm taking for granted that you know of what I speak. If not, just scroll down the page a bit and read more of the blog. In essence, it means that those people residing in the Vatican at this time are not Catholic, nor do they want to be. They hijacked the Church in the time periods surrounding (and during) the "Second" Vatican Council. Anyway, back to the current subject.....

If you go to a Novus Ordo parish there are many different groups within it. Generally speaking, there are the liberals/progressives (the ones always playing the guitar at "mass", raising their hands, clapping, wearing next to nothing, coming in late/leaving early, etc), the middle of the road, and the "conservatives". The conservatives are the ones that are labeled are backwards, crazy, receive "Holy Communion" on the tongue (possibly while kneeling if their pastor hasn't banned it), go to all the parish missions (if the parish actually still has them), complain about the all liberalism in their parish, etc. You know the ones I'm talking about. Maybe you are even one of them. I was in the same boat for a while. I was always complaining about the music, the decorations, lack of Holy art and statues, having "Eucharistic Ministers" when we had 4 "priests" and 3 "deacons"....I could go on and on.

Back to the point. Many people think of traditionalists as exactly what I mentioned above. They may think they are the "old school" people that want the "Latin Mass" to come back. They might think of them as the folks that go to the "Latin Mass" at some parish within the diocese. They might have even heard of the SSPX and consider them as traditionalists and a fringe group who are/aren't in the "Church". That's not who "traditionalists" are. Real "traditionalists", real Catholics are the folks who reject the changes that have happened since Vatican "II" and refuse to go to or have anything to do with the Novus Ordo. Many people incorrectly group all the aforementioned sects together. That couldn't be further from the truth. Those that go to the Novus Ordo don't want what the "Latin Mass" people want and the SSPX don't want what the "conservative" people want, etc. The Latin Mass groups, the Novus Ordo "conservatives", the SSPX, the liberals.......they all have something in common. They are ALL in the false religion of the Novus Ordo and they ALL want something different.


The Novus Ordo, whether you like it or not, will still continue to be what it is: a false religion. They will continue to bear the fruits of their false religion: liturgical dancing, "Eucharistic ministers", electric guitar "masses", "communion" in the hand, concerts in the sanctuary, invalid sacraments, ecumenical gatherings with false religions, feel-good services for homosexuals, etc. There are many more examples of the fruits of this false religion if you read the rest of the blog posts. You might say "But Benedict XVI does not approve of these things and he is trying to change things back to way they used to be". If you believe that, then you have been living under a rock for the last 53 years. He and John Paul II put in place these charlatans that continue to tell lies and spread their false religion under the name of Catholicism. Just last week he went to St. Augustine's monastery in Germany to an "ecumenical celebration" where:

"Katrin G. Eickhardt, president of the Synod of the German Evangelical Church, pronounced a greeting, and Evangelical Bishop Friedrich Weber read out Martin Luther's German translation of Psalm 146. The 'Pope' prayed for Christian unity and Cardinal Kurt Koch, president of the Pontifical Council for Christian Unity, read the High Priestly Prayer of Jesus from the Gospel of St. John."

also:

"The meeting closed with all those present praying the Our Father together, after which Pastor Nikolaus Schneider pronounced a blessing after the manner of Aaron and the 'Pope' gave his blessing in the Trinitarian form."

There are tons of examples of his outright denial of the true Catholic faith in EVERYTHING he does. He doesn't even follow the neo-Catholic rules of his own false religion much less than those of Eternal Rome! You have to ask yourself the question: Is this who I want to follow? Is this man leading me to Holiness? Or is he just telling everyone what they want to hear and hopes that the rest are too stupid to pay attention to what the other hand is doing?



We, as true Catholics, still have the true Mass of the Ages, untouched by protestant ministers, counterfeiters and traitors like Bugnini, Montini and all those that signed the documents of Vatican "II". Fr. Ratzinger himself stated about the Novus Ordo "mass":

"What happened after the Council was altogether different: instead of a liturgy fruit of continuous development, a fabricated liturgy was put in its place. A living growing process was abandoned and the fabrication started. There was no further wish to continue the organic evolution and maturation of the living being throughout the centuries and they were replaced - as if in a technical production -- by a fabrication, a banal product of the moment." (my emphasis)

We, as true Catholics, still have the true and valid Sacraments, unlike the ones fabricated after Vatican "II" by Montini and his ilk.


We as true Catholics, still have valid Bishops and Priests.

We, as true Catholics, still have the true Faith as well, not a watered down neo-Catholic/protestant-ized version of it shoved down our throats by those that purport to be "Catholic" "popes", "bishops" and "priests".

What we want, what we pray for and beg for daily, is that the WHOLE WORLD have the Faith; we pray that they all have this precious Gift that was passed down from Our Blessed Lord Jesus Christ through the Apostles and Saints. These Holy Saints of God bled and died for the Faith. DIED FOR THE FAITH! These saints were tortured for believing what we as "traditionalists" believe: the untouched and spotless Catholic Faith. Do you think these impostors in the Vatican would die for their false religion? I think not. On that note, they won't have anyone to be scared of anymore because they kiss, give pectoral crosses to and shake hands with every other false religion on the planet to appease them and invite them to Assisi to pray together to their false gods and demons.

What we pray for daily is that we be given a true Pope. We pray for a true Pope to end this period of sede vacante and end this torment that we as humanity have inflicted upon ourselves through our own sins and wickedness. We must do penance, we must pray our Rosaries and we must be willing to sacrifice all that we have, our own lives if necessary, to lift up the Church to Her rightful place in the world. Our Modernist countries with their false religions must submit to the Church and her laws. They must return to the true Faith. Not the false religion of Modernist Rome. 

The true "traditionalists" want EVERYTHING to go back the way it was before the robber council of Vatican "II" crept in and snatched away the Catholic faith and replaced it with neo-Catholic/protestant religion and "sacraments". We want a true Pope. We want our once Holy and pure Vatican buildings, our church buildings, our monasteries and our convents back as well. We want the posers in the Vatican playing dress-up as popes, cardinals, bishops, priests and deacons to get OUT. We don't just want the Mass. WE WANT IT ALL BACK.

Skeptics might say "That will never happen. Things are too far gone." But as Our Blessed Savior says in Matthew 19:26-

"And Jesus beholding, said to them: With men this is impossible: but with God all things are possible."

I'll leave you with a quote that sounds like it could have been written yesterday:

"May God console you! ... What saddens you ... is the fact that others have occupied the churches by violence, while during this time you are on the outside. It is a fact that they have the premises – but you have the Apostolic Faith. They can occupy our churches, but they are outside the true Faith. You remain outside the places of worship, but the Faith dwells within you. Let us consider: what is more important, the place or the Faith? The true Faith, obviously. Who has lost and who has won in the struggle – the one who keeps the premises or the one who keeps the Faith? True, the premises are good when the Apostolic Faith is preached there; they are holy if everything takes place there in a holy way ...

"You are the ones who are happy; you who remain within the Church by your Faith, who hold firmly to the foundations of the Faith which has come down to you from Apostolic Tradition. And if an execrable jealousy has tried to shake it on a number of occasions, it has not succeeded. They are the ones who have broken away from it in the present crisis. No one, ever, will prevail against your Faith, beloved Brothers. And we believe that God will give us our churches back some day.

"Thus, the more violently they try to occupy the places of worship, the more they separate themselves from the Church. They claim that they represent the Church; but in reality, they are the ones who are expelling themselves from it and going astray. Even if Catholics faithful to Tradition are reduced to a handful, they are the ones who are the true Church of Jesus Christ."

-St Athanasius (296-373 AD)

Current Issues

In these days and times we are faced with many adversities as traditional Catholics: lack of Sacraments, lack of priests and Bishops, being ostracized by everyone and everywhere.....in some cases by our fellow trads. There are many problems in the world of traditional Catholics, but it seems the one that creates the most division is who we associate with (our affiliation if you will). There are many different groups: the independents, SSPV, CMRI, ORCM, Feeneyites, etc. Every time you mention that you go to one of these chapels (any chapel for that matter) you will get a pat on the back or a strange look and quite possibly a cold shoulder. I'm not going to go into the differences between these groups because I don't have the time to write it and you probably don't have the time or desire to read it.

I'm writing this not only due to the divisions and differences between all the groups, but because there are so many things floating around on the web that it seems there is no unity and to be honest, there's not much right now. If you take a look at all the different traditional Catholic sites you will see this one speaking ill of that one and that one speaking ill of this one. Frankly, it's disturbing and unnerving to a lay person who just wants to go to Holy Mass on Sunday and receive the Sacraments and try to live a holy life. It's nearly impossible to stay out of the mess that's going on in the trad world much less the world itself. Sometimes these things ARE important issues, but for the most part need to be handled as private matters. They are not meant for to break down and pick apart for our own amusement. I can not for the life of me understand why some of the things that are made public ever see the light of day, especially on the world wide web. We as a part of the Church, as the FACE of the Church (at times) have to get it together. We can NOT continue to cause division amongst ourselves ESPECIALLY in a public manner. We can NOT continue to drag fellow Catholics and especially Catholic clergy through the mire. The last time I checked, the Catholic Church is a hierarchy, NOT a democracy. If we have a problem with a decision that has been made by a priest or a bishop we have the capability to speak to them personally to discuss it. If an issue involves another group or congregation, it is exactly that: ANOTHER group or congregation, not ours. Frankly it is none of our business. It is up to their priest or bishop. Not ours. and if it does involve our priest or bishop our first avenue of complaint surely can not be the world wide web.

Think about this for a minute: Do you think someone that is thinking about leaving the Novus Ordo would really be interested in coming to the Church when all they see is the constantly stirred pot of slander, calumny and ill will of those associated with traditional Catholicism? I think we all know the answer to that question. I do realize that some things that are said are of a very important nature and possibly even involve grave sin. But what we have to understand is that none of us are without fault and ask ourselves if we would like our decisions made public for the world to criticize. Yes, I know, I know, some of the things being said are about priests and even men that are consecrated as Bishops and sometimes these accusations are even made from the clergy themselves. Yes, I know that they should be able to handle these issues, but unfortunately sometimes these things can be very difficult in nature due to the time period we live in. These men need our support and most of all our prayers. It's hard enough to deal with the situation they are in during this period of Church history and even harder to deal with the laity at times. Pope Leo XIII's Prayer to St Michael states " when the Pastor has been struck, the sheep may be scattered." Unfortunately these are the times we have been given to live in.

As I stated before, sometimes the issues that I'm speaking about even come from the clergy, but we must keep praying for them, NOT report to the world every time we feel they didn't do things just the way we would like. Last time I checked I'm not able to change common bread and wine into the Sacred Body and Precious Blood of our Lord Jesus Christ. We must show them our respect because that's exactly what they deserve and and that's exactly what they should get. Their level of culpability is much higher than ours and they will answer to Our Lord when the time comes. On the same note so will we. Will you be able to say that everything you have done is charitable and truly with the best interests of Christ's Church? I pray that I will.

I know that this little blog that probably has no regular readers is not going to help or have much of a voice, but I hope those that might read this will realize that these are difficult times we live in, but we must remain charitable to one another and especially to the clergy if we are to function as Catholics and live holy lives. Be thankful that we have the Sacraments and keep praying for each other and especially our clergy. They have many difficult decisions to make and they need our support at every turn.  


May God bless you and Mary keep you!
