God Bless Cardinal Burke.
What a great story.
Thank YOU.
I’m so glad the media was there in mass.
Come Holy Spirit…..Touch the heart of Pope Leo in ways that only you know how, and release the noose that is tightening around the TLM.
St. Isadore…pray for the Church on earth.
I’m going to use that Damian Thompson quote!
“You know it’s the ancient rite when the priests aren’t ancient” 😀
Sooner or later, the Tridentine Mass will overcome the wrath of the jesuits.
Bet on it.
“You don’t know what you’ve got till it’s gone.” — In God’s providence, the liturgical innovations and suppression of the ancient rite only served to highlight its power and majesty. Had it never been pushed to the fringes, the modern generation may have never realized it’s value.
No doubt this made Cardinal Roche squirm. As for the Roman Pontiff, there is no doubt he noticed. The question is the impact this Mass will have on him.
I’m not relishing being a nay sayer here, but the allowance of the old rite, the elimination of homosexual couple blessings, disallowing adulterous heterosexual couples from receiving holy communion, kneeling to receive holy communion and more… Will all need to happen at once.
-and that all involves very clearly saying that Francis was…. wrong.
Sean:
“Sooner or later, the Tridentine Mass will overcome the wrath of the jesuits.
Bet on it.”
Sooner or later, the Tridentine Mass will overcome the censorship, the lust for power over the Catholic Church and the parishioners of the jesuits.
Bet on it.

Francis was very wrong.
Viva Cristo Rey.
King of Kings…Lord of Lords….True God from True God, begotten not made, consubstantial with the Father hear our prayer;
If it be your Holy Will allow the TLM.
If there are more mysteries beyond our understanding at this time regarding this interference of the Mass of the Ages, then give us patience, perseverance and the spirit of sacrifice. Redemptive suffering be our lot to honor you and assist in the conversions of sinners. Let not this trial be in vain when so much is at stake for our neighbors in need.
We truly do Trust in You!
Yes David WS I agree….hope I’ll be alive to see it…..
