“Rome knows that every celebration of Traditional Mass is an amendment to the totality of the twisted intellectual and volitional ways of our world, to which our beloved Catholic Church has been progressively and inexorably joining since the 60’s of the last century. And in deciding on this “pastoral” option, it assumed its high cost: the path of progressivism is not linear but spiraling, like a tornado that turns on itself and opens up, absorbing everything in its path, widening its destructive power in such a way that the errors are not left behind but accumulate, becoming more and more serious. And it is a tragedy that we, the faithful, have been inside this hurricane for so long, dizzy with novelties and scandals that never cease, and all because some enlightened ones decided one day that it was convenient to dialogue and get along better with the world, incomprehensibly forgetting who their prince was. That is why it has been providential that many Catholics have discovered the Traditional Mass, the most powerful countermarch to escape from this chaos of darkness, as if it were the sun itself that rises ad orientem. A sun whose warmth dissipates the most insidious tornadoes and which truly ‘laetificat juventutem meam.’” From a July 12 article by Luis López Valpuesta in

Great find.
We won’t forget who our Prince is even if the head of the Catholic Church has difficulty reconizing Him. He is the same yesterday, today and tomorrow. He doesn’t change to fit into any culture. He is not about winning a popularity contest. He blazed the path for us to follow.
It isn’t easy to follow but its worth the efforts.
Dying to self. Loosing your life to find it in Him.
These are critical road markers. Anyone who seeks to plant signs contrary to the one’s Christ established is a blind fool leading souls to darkness.
Anyone.
The TLM will outlive this pontificate.
An old sentimental liberal progressive fool full of the transitory power that his tyranny brings him and nearing the end of his miserable, worthless life here on Earth cannot stand it that “Deus laetificat iuventutem meam.”
No one – not even our heretical Marxist Peronist Caudillo – can stop the Holy Mass from being celebrated in Latin, Greek, Aramaic, whatever. May God Almighty depose him and all his homo-erotic clergy, and anathematize all their works of iniquity and depravity.
Deus laetificat iuventutem meam!
Ordo. The priests has his back to the Lord.
The priest becomes the focal point. Look at ME..see what I DO.
Wrong…wrong…wrong.
See what God is doing. Face our Lord..all of us.
Once the priests turned their backs on God all hell broke loose upon the earth. Coincidence?
We don’t need the extention services of the sixties..do we?

Exclusive female readers, female altar servers, an army of blue haired ladies dispensing communion, a gay priest, worthless sermons, excuse me not sermons -standup routines… all Latin Mass need do is exist to attract.
At the end of the 18th century, Bishop Challoner (of the Douay-Rheims revision fame) was once asked how the downtrodden and demoralized English Church would ever revive replied: “There will be a new generation.” Wise man! Indeed, the next generation was that of Card. Wiseman (b. 1802), Card. Newman (b. 1801), Fr. Faber (b. 1814), et al.
The same seems to be occurring before our very eyes now: the best of the so-called Gen Z finds delight not merely in the “old Mass” but in the Mass in its fully realized form: without any mid-century compromises or dilutions. If you tell them that before the “changes” we used folded chasubles and celebrated vigils for the Apostles, then that’s what they want! “There will be a new generation.”
The resident priest at the mission celebrates the Mass ad orientum. Father faces the tabernacle, i. e., Jesus Christ. Some have complained they feel that he has turned his back on the congregation. His explanation is that he is leading his flock.
We do not have a Latin Mass but we sing the Hosanna and recite the Angus Dei in Latin. Often the Salve Regina is sung after Communion.
Nothing heard from the diocese.
