The well trodden path to extinction pioneered by the main line Protestant churches. The revenge of the Pope on the Catholicism that existed for almost twenty centuries prior to Vatican II.

Not gonna happen. They can gas-bag all they want.
The smoke of Satan indeed.
Ezabelle – it will happen and worse: I have no doubt that In the near future they will further change the Novus Ordo Mass and it will become effectively an invalid eucharist consecration. Will Novus Ordo attendees be able to recognize it? Will N.O. Priests be able to recognize it and refuse to perform invalid Masses? We will soon find out. Don’t believe me? Check out what was recently exposed in Kansas City area. It took years until it was uncovered.
Oy Vey!
No surprise here. Did any of our TAC regular folks expect a different outcome?
PATS—Can you please provide a link re: the Kansas City issue you are referencing?

“they will further change the Novus Ordo Mass and it will become effectively an invalid eucharist consecration.”
There is no way the One Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church will have invalid Eucharistic consecrations. They are guided by The Code of Canon Law. And in the case of Kansas and the invalid consecrated wine, that a localised “stuff-up”. It was flagged (admittedly, it’s a disaster) by the Archbishop who recognised the invalidity of the consecrated wine and the consequent sacraments it possibly rendered invalid. I just don’t ever seeing Our Pope, Cardinals, Archbishops, Bishops, Priests, Deacons changing what makes Our Sacraments valid because they have hundreds of years of Canon Law which serves to stop the oddballs coming along to out their own erroneous spin on things. They can enjoy all the Synods they want. They obviously don’t have better things to do (like tending to their flock).
