War Against the Ancient Mass Is Destructive for the Church - Cardinal Sarah

When the generation of the ’68ers passes away, the unfounded, one-sided attitudes against Latin and Gregorian chant will pass away as well, Cardinal Robert Sarah told IlGiornale.it on August 27.
Benedict XVI’s liberalization of the Traditional Latin Mass had a positive and even corrective influence on abuses in the celebration of the Novus Ordo, Cardinal Sarah said.
“Many priests testify that discovering the Extraordinary Form helped them to celebrate better.”
Furthermore, the faithful could choose which form corresponded more closely to the fostering of the faith.
“But all of this was brought to an abrupt end by Traditionis Custodes while the Pope Emeritus was still alive.”
Francis’ restrictions on the Latin Mass were “neither a wise nor a respectful choice.”
Cardinal Sarah added that access to “ritual forms that have existed for centuries can never be artificially restricted by decrees.”
Without referring explicitly to the Novus Ordo, Sarah noted that a rite that did not serve the …More

NOVUS ORDO PRIEST EXPELLED FROM ITALY: CANNOT RETURN TO EUROPE

NOVUS ORDO PRIEST EXPELLED FROM ITALY: CANNOT RETURN TO EUROPE
A Novus Ordo Catholic priest in Rome has been expelled by the police and the issue is Vatican Council II. He belongs to a mainline Catholic religious congregation recognized by the Rome Vicariate.
The Superior of a Men’s Religious community is expected to leave office on Sept 5 and will return home. This is the understanding with the police.
On August 15, 2026 during Holy Mass in Italian on the feast of Our Lady of Immaculate Conception, a layman read the Prayers of the Faithful. Unknown to the priest offering Mass, he said, as part of a Prayer Intention, that the Catholic Church teaches in Vatican Council II that outside the Church there is no salvation.
There was a complaint by migrants and other non Catholics.

It may be mentioned that Vatican Council II says in Ad Gentes 7 that all need faith and baptism for salvation. AG 7 is inserted in the Catechism of the Catholic Church 846, under the title Outside …More

Two decades ago, a weekly cultural program called Panorama Radial aired on an AM radio station in the suburbs of Buenos Aires (Radio Mi País) addressed a variety of topics of interest to Catholics, many of them related to religious and civil anniversaries.
It was a rare and educational gem amidst the deluge of modern media, which has submerged a large part of the population. Some of its topics remain surprisingly relevant. Therefore, we have decided to publish them here, without a fixed date, starting with a broadcast from July 18, 2006, shortly before the publication of Summorum Pontificum, which discusses the unjust restrictions the hierarchy applies to the Tridentine Mass!
It is lamentable to note that, in this regard, everything is the same or worse than it was then!

Persecución de la Misa Tradicional

Veinte años nada son Hace dos décadas, en una estación de AM de los suburbios de Buenos Aires (Radio Mi País), se emitía semanalmente un programa cultural llamado Panorama Radial, llevado adelante con acierto por Marcelo González, de Panorama Católico Internacional, en el cual se fueron tratando diversas cuestiones de interés para los católicos, muchas de ellas vinculadas a las efemérides religiosas o civiles. Fue una rara avis formativa en medio de la balumba en que la selva de los medios modernos de comunicación tienen sumergida a una gran parte de la gente; manteniendo alguno de sus tópicos una actualidad sorprendente. Por eso nos hemos propuesto publicarlos aquí, sin fecha fija, habiendo elegido para comenzar, una audición del dieciocho de Julio de 2006, poco antes de la publicación de Summorum Pontificum, en la se tratan ¡las injustas restricciones que la jerarquía aplica a la Misa Tridentina!. ¡Es lamentable constatar que, al respecto, todo está igual o peor que entonces!

Wars and rumors of wars...
And Jesus answering, said to them: Take heed that no man seduce you: 5 For many will come in my name saying, I am Christ: and they will seduce many.
6 And you shall hear of wars and rumours of wars. See that ye be not troubled. For these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. 7 For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom; and there shall be pestilences, and famines, and earthquakes in places: 8 Now all these are the beginnings of sorrows. 9 THEN SHALL THEY DELIVER YOU UP TO BE AFFLICTED, AND SHALL PUT YOU TO DEATH: and you shall be HATED by all nations for my name's sake. 10 And then shall many be scandalized: and shall betray one another: and shall hate one another.
11 And many false prophets shall rise, and shall seduce many. 12 And because iniquity hath abounded, the charity of many shall grow cold. 13 But he that shall PERSEVERE to the end, he shall be saved. 14 And this gospel of the kingdom, shall be preached …More

Story of Mary Phagan's Death As Representatives of the State Outlined It to Frank's Jury
The Jury has said that Leo Max Frank Is guilty of the murder of Mary Anne Phagan.
With that verdict fell upon Frank the awful shadow of the gallows and death.
This is a fearful shadow to dwell in. It Is a midnight of horror made black and dreadful than mere words can conjure up.
But there Is another shadow which hovers over Leo M. Frank a shadow beside whose unspeakable blackness the thought of mere death brightens to the soft roseate glow of a sweet and soul-resting twilight!
Good Name Jeopardized.
This other shadow is the great black blot of the crime that must besmudge the good name of Leo M. Frank, so long as the name shall exist and people shall be able to remember.
By its verdict the jury drew this great black smudge across his name. Whether, if the world …

Why I hate the old Latin Mass: A confession

(RNS) — Penitent: Bless me Father for I have sinned. It has been a week since my last column, I mean my last confession. Since that time, I have expressed hatred toward the old Latin Mass, aka the Traditional Latin Mass (TLM), aka the Tridentine Mass, aka … Priest: Yes, yes, I know what you are talking about. The Mass that was celebrated in the Catholic Church before the Second Vatican Council. Penitent: The old Latin Mass is like a zombie. When we went from Latin into English in 1964, we thought it was dead, but it keeps coming back. We thought it would fade away or people would be satisfied with going to a Latin version of the new liturgy. Not so. Priest: Hatred is a sin. Jesus told us to love one another as he has loved us. Penitent: I know. Actually, I don’t hate the people who go to the old Latin Mass. Many of them are nice, pious people. They find spiritual nourishment in their Mass. With better catechesis, I think they would appreciate the new liturgy. On the other hand, I do hate …

It is beyond safe to assume the demons hate the "old Latin Mass" ergo Thomas Reese SJ can be judged by the company he keeps

"Well, I guess I am also jealous of the TLM promoters. They are so well organized that, even though they are few in numbers, they get a huge amount of attention from the bishops and the media."

Leo XIV to Lutheran Lay-Bishops: We Have a “Shared Mission in the World”

Today, Leo XIV welcomed the Lutheran State Bishops of Norway in audience.
Referring to the fallen human condition, Leo XIV said it is “all too easy to adopt an attitude of hostility toward those with whom we disagree”.
That is why he seeks – at least with Protestants – “concrete paths of reconciliation and of fraternity”.
Leo XIV recalled Christ’s prayer for the unity of his disciples.
Key phrase: “Grounded in our common Baptism and our shared mission in the world, I pray that we may always grow together in our service to the promotion of peace and justice.”

Ecumenism sounds nice, but it does not work. Much dialogue has produced hardly any converts to Catholicis, while there have been countless apostate Catholics who have become non-Catholic.

Perhaps the Superior General of the FSSPX should have declared himself a “Lutheran Bishop” from Norway, so he could have joined this delegation in Private Audience with Leo. Hmmm? 🤔

The Broken Statue

by Plinio Corrêa de Oliveira
– Folha de S. Paulo, May 29, 1978 –
This is the fact in its brutality: Brazil has venerated Our Lady as its special patroness for more than two centuries, and this veneration is directed to her under the invocation of the Immaculate Conception of Aparecida.
Our Lady Aparecida!
This exclamation often comes to mind for Brazilians, especially on important occasions. It may be the cry of an afflicted soul addressing God through the intercession of the Mediatrix, who refuses nothing to men and to whom God, in turn, refuses nothing. It may also be the exclamation of a soul unable to contain its joy, pouring out its gratitude at the feet of the Mother, from whom all benefits come to us.
The story of the small, dark terracotta image, with its large blue mantle on which precious stones shine and the Queen of Brazil’s crown on her forehead, would fill books. If conceived as I would imagine them, these books should contain not only the distinguished historical facts …More

Leo XIV “has made room for progressive LGBTQ+ voices in several recent high-profile appointments”, writes the homosexual website Them.us on August 24. The article highlights four recent pro-homosexual appointments of bishops. The examples are:
- James Checchio (New Orleans): he supported homosexual propaganda as bishop of Metuchen, New Jersey.
- Ramón Bejarano (Monterey, California): he presided over homosexual Eucharists as auxiliary bishop in San Diego, including transvestites in the liturgy.
- Christian Würtz (Eichstätt, Germany): he supported “blessings” for homosexuals and changes to biblical teaching on homosexuality.
- Thomas Hennen (Baker, Oregon): he drafted pro-homosexual “pastoral” guidelines.

Pope Leo XIV’s LGBTQ-Friendly Appointments Include Bishop Invited Drag Queen to Mass

The first American Pope has made room for progressive LGBTQ+ voices in several recent high-profile appointments, per an analysis in the popular Substack Letters from Leo, written by former Obama staffer Christopher Hale. In February, Pope Leo XIV officially appointed Bishop James Checchio as leader of the Archdiocese of New Orleans, per a blogpost from New Ways Ministry, a Catholic outreach organization that “educates and advocates for equity, inclusion, and justice for LGBTQ+ persons.” Checchio had been in line to take over the role informally since September 2025, per EWTN News. Checchio, who had previously led the Metuchen Diocese in New Jersey, made LGBTQ+ outreach a priority with at least two of the 75 parishes under his jurisdiction known to be explicitly LGBTQ+-friendly, according to New Ways Ministry: Sacred Heart Parish in South Plainfield and St. Joseph Parish in Hillsborough. Not only did Checcio support a group for LGBTQ+ Catholics in his diocese, he attended their 2016 …

Leo XIV: "Novus Ordo Rooted in and Respected the Tradition of Church"

At today’s General Audience, Leo XIV praised the failed liturgical reform after Vatican II.
He quoted extensively from a letter by the future Paul VI, Cardinal Montini, dated October 1962. He wrote that the faithful “cannot and must no longer remain silent and passive”.
No Participation: Novus Ordo Churches Empty
Leo XIV added that “the participation of the faithful cannot be passive”. The Conciliar reform “was intended to allow the liturgy to shine forth”.
He believes there was “the need to make the richness of the biblical texts and prayers more accessible to all the faithful”.
"Necessary" to Revise Liturgy
Furthermore, Leo XIV claims that the liturgy “has always been subject to developments and changes”.
“It is therefore not surprising that the Second Vatican Council too, with the utmost respect for the heritage of tradition, and precisely in order to make it more accessible, considered it necessary to revise the liturgical books.”
According to Leo XIV, “the liturgical reform promoted …More

Leo XIV: “A radical reform of the liturgical rites was not in fact necessary in order to make the liturgy more accessible after the Second Vatican Council — a reality that the full, conscious, actual and extraordinarily fruitful participation in the unreformed rites today makes perfectly clear.”

Dr Bobus

The question is wheher "the liturgical reform promoted by Vat II" is rooted (even a little bit) in Vat II. IMHO, no, it is not.
