The REAL Reason why Francis is Crushing the TLM

Francis is lowering the hammer on the Traditional Latin Mass (TLM) but it may not be for reasons you think. In this Part 1, I explain WHY Francis needs to crush the TLM.

[@christineamodeo920]

The Eucharist “ minister “ is a perfect example of Undermining the role of the priest as well as receiving our Lord. The folks in the pews sat back and let this happen.

[@katydidd6321]

There's a NO Mass I attend when I can't make it to my TLM due to holiday travel, and they have three Eucharistic ministers. They only get 27 parishioners at the mass. How do they need _four people_ (priest included) to hand out the Eucharist? My priest takes care of all 180+ of us all by himself, every week, without breaking a sweat.

[@sunnyday7843]

At our Novus Ordo parish - they call each choir member a music minister - I laugh every time I hear that !

If "schismatic" trads would just become schismatic Anglicans then maybe Francis would come celebrate with them as he allowed for Anglicans in Rome.

Man, I thank God every day that I was initiated right into the Traditional Mass. Catechized by my priest, Baptized and Confirmed at a 6 hour Easter Vigil with the Litany of the Saints chanted in Latin, the whole bit. What a time! Nobody will ever take that away from me. I am blessed, I don't deserve it but I am truly blessed. I will be waiting with baited breath for your next video.

[@anabelmartin7780]

'Initiated right' being the key words here. I was baptised by a family friend who left the priesthood shortly after; as for my Godparents, they were both too young and did not want to be there, or so they tell me. My First Communion was a 70s hippy affair with guitars and loud chanting; even though I was only 9 I could see how informal the occasion was and felt terribly sad and disappointed. Amid the chanting coming out of the loudspeakers I'd glance at Jesus on the cross behind me and fight back the tears. Fast forward a few years: the priest that was preparing me for Confirmation was involved in covering up an abuse case in my secondary school and I just had enough... I've been a lapsed Catholic ever since. I am now in my mid 50s and wondering how to fix this mess 🤦🏻‍♀️

[@katydidd6321]

Yeah, my husband was a lapsed Catholic as well, for all the same reasons you stated. He came back when I converted and now he's deeply frustrated because he feels he's being denied sacred communion with God. Again. And for the absolute worst reasons. I feel like I'm not sure what I'm going to do when I'm forced to attend a Novus Ordo, but at least I had a life in which I was never aware of the Sacred before. Its only being taken from me once. It's being taken from cradle Catholics twice, and that's tragic. 🙏

[@jamessauve2419]

I generally agree with the basic premise of where you're going. I think much of the reason for the current attack on tradition stems from the fact that the Novus Ordo is inexorably dying out. I've heard and read various sources saying about 4 out of 5 N.O. young people lose their faith and leave the Church forever by their mid twenties. And these N.O. families aren't having any more children than their non-Catholic neighbors to begin with. So the modern Vatican II parishes are just going to keep withering away over time. At some point, like the parishes, even the N.O. dioceses will become financially insupportable. The traditionalist parishes though will continue to thrive and grow. Most of their children, maybe 4 out of 5, keep the faith and teach it to their children. And they have children, in most cases, plenty of them. So they can afford to lose more than the Novus Ordo parishes and still grow and flourish. It's only a matter of time, things continuing on their current trajectory, the N.O. is going to die out and tradition will be all that's left by default. I believe most of their churches are already largely aging baby-boomers and former hippies and the like who can't accept that the ethos of the '60's has failed to produce the promised fruits. These people can't seem to accept that the reforms have been a failure. It will be interesting one day to see the local N.O. bishop selling everything to the point where he's offering his N.O. in someone's home the way trads have been doing for decades. That would be quite the turn of events.

We treasure this trust in our baptized soul, each of us, and in communion with others who treasure this same indelible seal of Divine Will. The church can't "control" this.

It has been said it would take a full century to implement Vatican II, but from 1968/70 to Benedict XVI (2005-2013) it wasn't even halfway when the TLM began to rise again, and even many NO adherents believe it was either poorly implemented, in need of reform, or not valid.

His heart is with the oppressed and poor. He experienced the betrayal of his friends. One was torturer and killed and the other was never the same.

[@rexlion4510]

I think you're exactly right about the political motivations and the global agenda. It's about time someone said what you are saying. Incidentally, Bergoglio is not the first pope who has been a 'political animal.' For many centuries the Church essentially controlled most of the monarchs in the west through the promise of eternal life if they cooperated coupled with the threat of damnation if they did not comply with the Vatican's wishes. Ever since the Catholic Church lost most of its temporal power in 1870, when it was stripped of its control over the "papal states", the Vatican has kept a wetted finger in the air to see which way the sociopolitical winds were blowing so they could forge alliances with whichever governments appeared to be most able to further the Church's objective of recovering its lost influence. In the early part of the 20th Century the Church opposed communism but supported Hitler's rise to power and signed a pact with Mussolini. After WWII they cozied up to the USA. Then in the 1980s they began to support communism over the objections and directions of John Paul II. Now they have joined forces with the globalist elites who have infiltrated nearly all the structures of power & influence (business, education, government, and more) in the west.

[@WT-Sherman]

Will any Bishops ignore this coming dictate. ? The Vetus Ordo is too firmly attached and identified with the Traditional teachings of the Church.

Notice that the survey of bishops on this question has never been revealed.

Not many I fear. It's a truism that people that "succeed" and are elevated in a particular system are beholden to that system. So the likelihood that the bishops and the cardinals, (btw, 75% of current cardinals have been appointed by Francis) will attack what Francis is next to nil.

And behind all this, is the Old Boy himself, the Prince of this world, who wants the true Mass extinguished because it is the only channel of grace and divine light to souls. No less than this, he knows the binding nature of "Quo Primum" and the attached anathema, which calls down to wrath of Almighty God and of the Holy apostles Peter and Paul on anyone who would dare to alter or replace the Mass of Immemorial Tradition.Therefore his first big victory was to get Antipope Paul VI to boldly violate "Quo Primum", and with the help of protestant heretics and under the guidance and direction of a card carrying Freemason, craft a "mass " that does not express the Catholic theology of the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass and therefore does not teach the Faith in its purity and mediate the grace of God. But there are big problems with the communities of priests that celebrate the Traditional Mass. All of them embrace, teach and impose the heresy that there is salvation outside the Catholic Church; that is, without membership in and union with the bona fide members of Mystical Body of Christ. They believe that the profession of the integral Catholic Faith and the reception of the Sacrament of baptism are not necessary for salvation. and that therefore people can be saved in false religions. This is the foundational heresy of all the errors in the Vatican II documents, and the justification for the false ecumenism that they all deplore, without apparently realizing it. So you have priests who are heretics celebrating the only Mass that is not heretical ! A masterstroke of Satan !. Of course Bergoglio has no care for who is heretical as long as they steadfastly remain heretics, since he is a heretic himself. His only care is to progressively banish everything in Catholicism that is supernatural and mediates sanctifying grace., and in the first place the source of all Grace in the Church: the Mass of Immemorial Tradition. which is the atoning and redeeming Sacrifice of Christ. The other matters are secondary, though also very important. Right you are that the goal in the temporal sphere is the establishment of the Freemasonic secular world order under the "Man of Sin", the great Antichrist; and I must say Begoglio's Vatican II predecessors were all heretics and therefore antichrists. Bergoglio could not be saying and doing what he says and does without the modernist foundation laid and the counter church Church built by them.

Ignorance of Scriptures is ignorance of Jesus Christ. We thank God for opening our eyes, heart and mind to the Life Giving Word which takes us to the Father, Son and Holy Spirit, Who guides us to the Way, the Truth and the Life. Baptised Catholic but appreciate what Martin Luther did to open the Word of God to us. A tragedy going on amongst us where slaughter is taking place, but not one word about it. Are we truly the Children of God? Depending your stance but have you read The Gospels yourselves, instead of bits and pieces at Mass? 99 percent of us did not know what was in the Gospels nor the writings of Paul. Knowing Scripture we become aware that Confirmation does not mean that we are confirmed in our faith in Catholism, but that we are confirmed as Children of God. We became aware of the Gifts and the Fruit of the Holy Spirit and that our life is Hid In Christ. We came to love the Scriptures as we read the book of Romans, Corinthians, and every single writing upto Revelations. The Spirit brought a renewal in our lives by affirming that we are New Creatures, created in the Image of God and that Jesus Christ's death on the Cross , as the 2nd Adam brought in the Regeneration of the human race. The distortion of the Truth by a very narrow minded sect and toxic part of the church, has led to the killing fields in the history of the world. Now instead of focusing on the Love and Reconciliation of God In Christ we are being ripped apart by warring priests and ignorant lay people. Look to God in confidence and faith in our Almighty God, The Great I Am. Be part of His beautiful Kingdom and not petty gods. A Good dose of teachings by Martin Luther, John Wesley William Barclay, John Stott, Dallas Willard, Sinclair Ferguson and other Men of God, like N T Wright and Rowan Williams, who have taught us the Wonder of the Triune God, without any dilution by sending us hither and tither, just to maintain man's power, is what we need in these dire times. It is obvious that the writings in Romans, Corinthians, Galatians, Ephesians, Philippians and the amazing chapters of Colossians and beyond are unknown to ignorant believers and are being misled by a fight against the present Pope and tge changes effected by the 2nd Vatican. We certainly do not want to be ignorant Roman Catholics but in reality embracing the Reality of being Catholic in the fullest sense of the Word. Pope Francis's simplicity of being in white and living in simplicity and his identification with the poor, has touched the hearts of the people.

always wondered how 'men' can esteem other men in outfits like the heavily 'powerful' 'men' wear, in places so heavily overloaded with material bling..., how does that not? 'distract' from the focus on the love of Christ in the Mass?

[@BillyJoeBob-hd9fm]

Catholicism seems so bizarre and confused, going by these sites. All I find are people talking about Mary, tongues vs. hands, Latin vs. English, hatred of the pope, anger, strange saints, weird prophecies and signs and wonders, doomsday nonsense, obsession with sex and the devil, what a confused mess! Nobody ever talks about Jesus and his teaching: feeding the hungry, being peacemakers, not judging, not condemning, being merciful, loving one’s enemies, the hypocrisy and pride of religious leaders, etc. Are there any normal Catholic sites I can go to, or is this weird stuff all there is? Sad!

[@catholicesquire]

There are plenty of Catholics who talk about all that stuff and will make you feel good about yourself the world you live in. But I think you know that all ready. The problem is that real Catholicism acknowledges the reality that we live in a fallen world, where a battle between good and evil is raging, and this earthly life is the battlefield. As we speak, Satan is working overtime to destroy souls and lead them to hell, while many in the Church refuse to say or do anything about it. The easy and worldly excuse to live a comfortable life and do nothing in the Church is to only talk about feeding the hungry and then claim what a good person you are for doing so. Or, ignore the reality of sin, and simply leave people alone to destroy themselves and feed the devil's appetite for souls. Thousands of false religions and denominations are happy to do that because that way everyone feels good, lots of money can be made because like to hear how they lead their lives is perfectly fine, and best yet, one's pride can be satiated. So, if you are not the type of person to gird your loins and go into battle under the standard of Jesus Christ, for the salvation of souls and defense of Holy Mother Church, be my guest to go watch all those other options. Just remember when you die, you can't say no one invited you to become a saint.

@@catholicesquire POPE BENEDICT XVI: “THE JANSENIST MENTALITY PRESENTED A GRIM AND SEVERE FACE OF GOD, VERY REMOTE FROM THE FACE REVEALED TO US BY JESUS. IT LEAD TO A VERY STRICT AND WIDESPREAD INTERPRETATION OF MORAL LIFE.” In the 17th century the Jansenist heresy preached a religion of fear and anguish. Priests were obsessed with “sins of the flesh.” God was presented only as a harsh and condemning judge, not as a merciful Savior and Good Shepherd. The Jansenists taught that only a few people were saved, and only the purest of souls, free of all taint of sin, could receive Communion without the fear of committing a sacrilege. New Eucharistic devotions emphasized the separation and distance between God and ourselves. St. Vincent de Paul said: “We no longer see people receiving Communion, not even at Easter, the way they formerly did.” In the early 1900's Pope Pius 10th enraged those with a Jansenistic mind set by encouraging frequent & and even daily communion. And further, he began allowing children to receive holy communion as soon as they reached the age of reason. Before then, you had to be about 14 years old. Jansenists taught that the Eucharist is a reward for virtue, but the Council of Trent back in the 1500's had decreed that Communion is an “antidote by which we are freed from our daily faults and preserved from sin.”

@@catholicesquire So you refer to the teaching of Jesus as "ALL THAT STUFF!" Shame on you.

[@BillyJoeBob-hd9fm]

@@catholicesquire MATTHEW 25: 41 Then he will say to those at his left hand, ‘You who are accursed, depart from me into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels, 42 for I was hungry and you gave me no food, I was thirsty and you gave me nothing to drink, 43 I was a stranger and you did not welcome me, naked and you did not give me clothing, sick and in prison and you did not visit me.’ 44 Then they also will answer, ‘Lord, when was it that we saw you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison and did not take care of you?’ 45 Then he will answer them, ‘Truly I tell you, just as you did not do it to one of the least of these, you did not do it to me.’ 46 And these will go away into eternal punishment but the righteous into eternal life.”

Couldn't traditionalists meet, congregate, and become a community outside of the Mass? As much as he would like to control people's lives, he can't.

[@concernedcitizen780]

What you say frightens me. If true our current “ pope” is like a politician not a priest. Unfortunately it is possible that our current pope has never offered the TLM.

[@user-ty4rq7zs4v]

He doesn't offer ANY Mass any more!

@@user-ty4rq7zs4v sad. I knew a priest that was dying and his only desire was to offer the mass. The TLM he was so disabled that he had to offer the Mass from a wheel chair. I thank God for giving that remembrance.

That’s a false assumption grounded in slander. Pope Francis has been a public celebrant at a public mass, you have no evidence he doesn’t offer a private Mass. Benedict XVI didn’t offer any public Mass aster he resigned as pope and yet you don’t offer the same presumption. That’s hypocrisy.

Yes,you can't rule this out,the pope is acting and playing out the prophecies given by Our Lord in the scriptures,and the approved private revelation s and messages of Our Lady around the world from ages. But the glorious reign of Our Lord will stand,and the triumph of the Immaculate Heart.

I don't know about an imminent arrival of an Anti-Christ, but you sure make sense otherwise. That tri-religion temple in Abu Dabi and Francis' endorsement of it is where Francis wants Catholicism to go. Just be another of the many ways to approach God and all of them in no way opposing the secular ideals.

[@legiomariae4961]

That abrahamic house is the groundwork being laid for the anti-christ. Make all religions equal, which by default makes no religion true, making way for the anti-christ who will abolish all worship except for him. No one knows the day or the hour, but eyes to see can see the stage is being set. Ave Maria!
