The retirement of Bishop Mckenna.....

We are all saddened to hear of the retirement of His Excellency Bishop Robert Fidelis Mckenna OP. Bishop Mckenna is the spiritual father and leader to many, many Catholics throughout the world. He was the pastor of Our Lady of the Rosary Chapel in Monroe, CT where he administered the Sacraments to traditional Catholics for decades.  Bishop Mckenna has devoted his whole life to the Catholic Church and the following of the Dominican rule. His Excellency can always be found praying tirelessly in the presence of the Blessed Sacrament. He will be sorely missed by parishioners there. Bishop Mckenna is also the last remaining Dominican Bishop and the head of the Order. I was blessed enough to be professed into the Dominican Third Order earlier this year and I can say that he is the most saintly man I have ever been blessed to meet. Bishop Mckenna's last Mass as the pastor in Monroe was on Sunday, October 23, 2011.

Father Rodriguez is the Bishop's successor at the chapel in Monroe and he will definitely be in our prayers with such big shoes to fill. His Excellency will always remain our prayers and our thoughts.

St Dominic, pray for us!
St Catherine of Siena, pray for us!
St Thomas Aquinas, pray for us!

Very interesting developments in the SSPX according to this letter......

Maurice Pinay Blog: Letter from SSPX Superior General Bishop Fellay to Bishop Williamson
I just read this from a link on ChristorChaos.com.......read and make your own assumptions......

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."

http://www.ewtn.com/vnews/getstory.asp?number=115506

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!

So, it's been a while since I started the blog..........

I just thought I would take a few moments to write about something that I've said many, many times, but still some folks just don't get it. I'd like to talk about the Church and the state she is in.

If you look around you, chances are that you will see many "Catholic" parishes. They call themselves Catholic, hey, some may even look Catholic, but are they? The short answer is no. Here's why: yes, they have what appear to be Sacraments to the folks that don't know any better, but in reality they are not. I'm not going to delve into deep waters talking about theological issues; I'm just going to say this: If you think I'm crazy, start reading. Pick up an old Catholic book and start reading. Does what you read look like what going on in your local "Catholic" parish? Chances are the answer is no. You may say "Just because the parishioners aren't faithful" or " Just because the priest isn't faithful doesn't mean that the "Church" is wrong". You may go to an indult "Mass" that uses the 62 Missal. You're saying: "I'm not affected by all the garbage in the Novus Ordo. Think again. The reason things are that way is because the rot and the evil infestation goes all the way to the top. Yes, all the way up to Father Josef Ratzinger. The man that calls himself the Pope. That rot goes all the way back to Angelo Roncalli who claimed to be Pope John XXIII.

Right now, if you've gotten this far, you're saying "This guy is nuts!". I may be, but the proof is in the pudding so to speak. If you compare what your church believes to what the Catholic Church taught before the Second Vatican Council you will find that they are vastly different. VASTLY. All the Rites were "changed". The Baptismal Rite, the Holy Mass, Confirmation, Holy Orders, Marriage, Penance and Extreme Unction. ALL OF THEM. If you don't believe me look it up. Then ask yourself WHY they were changed. If you care at all about your everlasting and eternal soul....ASK! Then you will see. They were changed to suit man. Not God. In the 2,000 year history of the Church nothing has ever been done this way. NEVER. Sure, some of the things in the Sacraments have been changed, but only to give more glory and honor to God and unify the Church (the canonization of the Mass by Pope St Pius V for example). They changed things to be more friendly to other religions. The same religions that they now say that are relevant and the same religions that your "pope" goes to pray with on a regular basis. They are leading people straight to eternal damnation. Just because someone prays to Jesus in another religion doesn't mean that it's "OK" and that they will go to Heaven when they die. It means that they are outside of Holy Mother Church and need to be converted. Find any place in Church history where it says that before Vatican II. You can't because it doesn't exist. Some folks like to go off on a tangent about the infiltration of the Church to try and show people that the current Vatican religion is wrong. That's fine. But it's as simple as this: what they teach from the Vatican is not Catholicism. You might as well be Anglican because it's not Catholicism. Again, just do some reading and pray to the Holy Ghost for guidance. If you truly care about the final resting place of your soul, investigate what I am saying. Pick up an old Catechism of the Council of Trent says and read it. You will find a huge difference in what your "Catechism of the Catholic Church" says and what it says. Most folks say it could never happen, but it did. It happened during the times of Arius and it's happening now. The Faith never changes. People have tried to destroy the Church since its inception. Right now is a dire time for the Church. It has almost disappeared, but not quite, and it never will. The Vatican religion worships man. The Catholic religion worships God and God alone. You cannot serve God and man.

The time for honoring yourself will soon be at an end.

May God bless you and Our Blessed Mother keep you.

Ratzinger squirming? Probably not, but interesting nonetheless.....

Within the last week, Ratzinger released an instruction regarding the application of the Motu Proprio from 2007 about the Motu "mass".

I'm not really going to write much about it other than a sentence or two. The one paragraph that stuck out to me was paragraph 19 which states:


"19. The faithful who ask for the celebration of the forma extraordinaria must not in any way support or belong to groups which show themselves to be against the validity or legitimacy of the Holy Mass or the Sacraments celebrated in the forma ordinaria or against the Roman Pontiff as Supreme Pastor of the Universal Church."(Sic)

Obviously it doesn't matter one bit to true Catholics, but it is interesting to note that some folks are obviously making enough noise for it to make it to the Conciliar Vatican. People want substance and are starting to show it. These poor folks want a real Mass and Sacraments, not a simulation. You might as well go to a Protestant "church" than go to to either the Novus Ordo "mess" or the Motu "mess" because there is no substance there either. Both are loyal to Modernist Conciliar Rome who has no real Catholic Sacraments.

Below is the original article. God bless.

The Last Year.......

Greetings!

It's been almost two months since I wrote my last post....my, how time flies!

It has been a very busy two months and I have not had much time to do anything other than eat, sleep, pray, study and spend time with my family. The new job is going well and I am finally getting adjusted to my new schedule.

 I just wanted to talk about what it has been like to have left the Conciliar religion to the true Catholic Faith and write about the last year and what my family and I have gone through.

First off, I am going to put it right out there: it has not been easy. There are times where my decision to leave my job in the Novus Ordo has put me in a hard spot financially and at odds with many people I know. I have barely talked to any of the people I used to work with, in fact I have only spoken to 2 of them a total of 3 times and those were very brief. Most of the people I knew from the Novus Ordo haven't even sent a hello or anything of the likes. I understand their predicament. They know that things are completely a wreck for the Novus Ordo, but they are scared to do anything about it. I was in the same mindset in the beginning. But once you realize that the Conciliar "church" isn't the Catholic Church, you can't get out fast enough. I know what many folks are going through. It's hard to see what you love so dearly be so far from the Truth. It pierces you deeply, but you must realize that it is NOT Catholic. Plain and simple. Needless to say, I do still agonize about the folks still there and pray for their conversion, but that is all I can do.

It has not been easy with some of my family either. When you have "a perfectly good job" and you leave it without a replacement, it can make folks look at you differently, even your closest family. For the most part, no one understood my problem with the whole Conciliar religion anyway. You see, most of my family are non-denominational or Baptists so they had no clue what was going on in the first place. All of this was foreign to them and it was silly for me to leave and go out into the great unknown. I mean, I had a family to support and I was resigning a job that paid the bills and kept food on the table. Why would I do such a thing? I'll tell you why. The same reason a soldier would not kill innocent people: it was against my conscience. You might say "That's not even remotely the same!" and I would agree. Mine situation was far more dire and possibly more damning on my part. If I were to stay, what I would have been teaching could have sent souls to Hell. That's much worse than killing someone. Don't you agree?

Luke 17:1-2  And he said to his disciples: It is impossible that scandals should not come: but woe to him through whom they come. It were better for him, that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he cast into the sea, than that he should scandalize one of these little ones.

Those are Our Blessed Lord's words. Read them again.That's what I was living with every day when I would look in the mirror. Thank God that is something I no longer have to do! That alone is reason enough to help me sleep at night!

Leaving the Novus Ordo was very difficult because it turned everyone against me. Family, friends, acquaintances, everyone. You don't need me to tell you that Catholics are hated pretty much everywhere here in the United States and when you break that relationship with the Conciliar "church" there isn't much left especially when your family disapproves of what you believe. But there is hope:

Matthew 10:35-39: For I came to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law. And a man's enemies shall be they of his own household. He that loveth father or mother more than me, is not worthy of me; and he that loveth son or daughter more than me, is not worthy of me. And he that taketh not up his cross, and followeth me, is not worthy of me. He that findeth his life, shall lose it: and he that shall lose his life for me, shall find it.

Our Blessed Lord never said it would be easy, but He did say that He would help us. You have to remember, in this day and age making the right choices is difficult and most definitely not popular. But the joy I receive from knowing that I'm raising my children in the One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church can not be measured. Their souls are the only thing that are important. Nothing else matters. The things that I've had to bear and deal with over the last year have been nothing compared to what Our Lord went through during His Passion. I offer up everything that I have gone through to Him through the Immaculate Heart of Mary. That's all we can do. I'm not going to say that it isn't hard sometimes, but there is no other option. It would be like going to a Protestant "church". You know it's wrong and that there is nothing there so why on earth would go back?

We must continue to follow Our Lord's Church and do all that is asked of us in these most difficult times. Our mortal life is short, but eternity is forever. Remember that when you pray your Rosary tonight. Please pray for my family and I. We will do the same for you. May God bless you.
