BENT ON DESTRUCTION OF THE HOLY ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH

"Our Catholic faithful have still to realise that the Conciliar Church managers are bent on destruction of the Holy Roman Catholic Church." 

Such was the burden of the song, yesterday, of a reader who for the time being at least will remain 'Anonymous'. He goes on:

"There are still clerics and faithful within it that are faithful (outstanding clerics like Cdl Burke, Sarah, Bp Schneider, and others), but they are marginalised. 

IMHO (in my humble opinion), the SSPX (Society of Saint Pius X)mainly, but also FSSP (Priestly Fraternity of St Peter), are the only significant bulwarks against the revolution." 

And I have to say, having attended Holy Mass this morning at Our Lady of Lourdes Havelock North, and this evening the Traditional Latin Mass at Dunstall's Funeral Chapel Napier, that the 'revolution' at least as far as the Diocese of Palmerston North is concerned, is gathering momentum.

The Traditional Latin Mass was, as it has been for hundreds of years, "the nearest thing to heaven on earth" and the French priest treated us to a sermon, a proper sermon of proper length and substance. We were rivetted.                                                                                                                                                                   Even though he'd been today (with an SSPX Brother as driver) to Wellington from Whanganui to celebrate Mass, then to Napier, and then returned to Whanganui, Father heard several confessions. And we all knelt to receive Holy Communion on the tongue. 

Contrast that with Our Lady of Lourdes, where ad-libbing ad nauseam was the order of the day. A parishioner commented afterwards that she wanted to know "what Father was 'on' because she wants some; "he was as high as a kite".

Halfway through what the encyclical Mediator Dei rightly terms "the august Sacrifice of the Mass", slotted between the Liturgy of the Word and the Eucharistic Prayer, were two speeches eulogizing the local Catholic colleges, Sacred Heart and St John's. 


Even though it was billed as that fiendish innovation, a 'School Mass' (which implies that this is the only Mass for school children and their families), the church was still not nearly full. Or it wasn't when Mass began, which was when I stopped taking notice. 

And Father had begun the Mass, after worse-than-usual inanities, with the dreadful news that Monsignor Brian Walsh, "Bishop Charles' right-hand man at the cathedral", is critically ill, in an induced coma following a massive heart attack in Australia. This comes less than six months after the death on Christmas morning of Bishop Charles' last right-hand man, Mark Richards.

It was only yesterday that a diehard Catholic was telling me how sad St Joseph's Parish Dannevirke were at losing Fr Bryan Buenger, and how they miss him.

I said Fr Bryan had told me his reason for returning to the States was that he didn't "have the support of his bishop". "Bishop Charles?" she asked, in tones of astonishment. "I thought it was to do with his visa." I said there were ways and means of getting visas. 

She'd swallowed the party line, hook and sinker. 

"Vive la revolution!" Here in Palmerston North Diocese the revolution, the destruction of the Roman Catholic Church referred to by 'Anonymous' is gaining strength, with a breathtaking acceleration in the rate of priests lost, and those losing the battle against the progressive forces intent on rebranding the Bride of Christ as the Whore of the world.

You could say that disillusioned, discouraged and depressed by the 'good Catholics' who in disobedience to the mind of the Church line up as 'Eucharistic Ministers', the diehards who fall for the party line touted in Welcom and NZ Catholic and the banishment or marginalization of orthodox priests, some priests fall to 'friendly fire'.

Faithful Catholics need to sift the wheat from the chaff, and discern which priests can direct them in the truth, as "little children", to the Kingdom of Heaven. Priests like the French SSPX who yesterday rapidly solved several spiritual problems for a friend of mine with clear-cut, unequivocal answers coming straight from the heart of the Church of Christ.

We may have to go a long way to find priests like him - priests who still obviously pray the Divine Office and who live by this morning's reading, for the Feast of the Priest St Bernadine of Siena:

Jesus Christ is the same today as he was yesterday and as he will be for ever. Do not let yourselves be led astray by all sorts of strange doctrines (Heb 13: 8-9a).

Even or especially if those doctrines are promoted by a Pope.

	Another 'Anonymous' says: Dangerous talk Julia and also blatantly false to suggest that this current Pope has changed any doctrines. Can you give any examples? Of course not - don't let the facts get in the way of a radical blog.  I say: Note first that I say "promote" not "change". The Pope can't change doctrine outright, except by speaking ex cathedra. But he can do it by stealth, or by contradicting what the Church has always taught - or by changing the Catechism to read, for example, that the death penalty is now verboten. Of course you are aware that 81 clergy, religious and scholars have accused Pope Francis of holding 7 heretical propositions - and that's not including his novel ideas on capital punishment. I'm happy that you call this blog 'radical', as I do see it as stemming from Christ Jesus, Head of the Body of Christ and Root of Jesse ('radical' from the Latin root 'radix' meaning root. I
	'Anonymous II' adds: Not sure that what the Catechism originally said about the death penalty was Church doctrine? I say: The nature of the change to the Catechism is a modification of the Church's prudential judgment on the 'admissibility' of the death penalty - 'admissibility' being yet another of those ambiguous terms for which this papacy is famous (or infamous)?The just imposition of the death penalty by the state was defended by Ss Paul, Augustine, Thomas Aquinas and the Council of Trent and so, hallowed as it is by Scripture,Tradition and Magisterium, must be taken as Church doctrine.
Paul Collits says: Exquisite post.
