"Will you walk into my parlour?" said the Reverend Spider to the Traditional Fly.
Pearls will be clutched at any suggestion of 'Pope Leo XIV' (oka Robert FtR Prevost) being likened to something so disliked as a fly, even when graced with a capital 'F'. So let's suppose it's Cardinal Victor Manuel Touchme Fernandez, whom all straight people find repellent, that we're talking about here, in connection with the stupendous scandal of the Prefect of the Dicastery for the Faith's summary excommunication of the Society of St Pius X (SSPX).
But. It's not the SSPX that's the Fly in this scenario. It's the traditional movement in the Catholic Church - excluding the Society, who by their 'illicit' episcopal consecrations on July 1 at Econe, have escaped the 'parlour': the trap set for Trad Inc, conservative and Recognise and Resisters and 'traditional Catholic groups, by the Vatican II Synodal church.
Already the bishops (who are reliably reputed to be 80% gay), and who stayed shtum during the outrages of the Bergoglian regime, are crawling out from under their diocesan stones to offer blandishments, expansions and concessions for celebration of the Traditional Latin Mass. Now that the SSPX, the major force for preservation of the Mass and Church doctrine have been fakely 'excommunicated' by Bergoglio's successor, they find the courage to align themselves ever so slightly with the Extraordinary Form of the Mass. (After all, the EF affords such opportunities for lavender and lace.)
Rome desperately wants to corral the traditional Catholics it has treated with such contempt with Traditionis Custodes, and to stop the hemorrhage of thousands (with their pocketbooks) who were blown away by the the SSPX Declaration of Faith and by the ceremonials at Econe. So Rome will allow the Latin Mass, a little. For a while. But no sermons such as those preached by the SSPX, which teach Catholic doctrine.
Because what anti-Catholic Rome will not allow is the Catholic religion. That is why the Society had to consecrate its own bishops, and that is why those bishops were 'excommunicated' by a Prefect of the DDF whose office and raison d'etre is to preserve and guard the Deposit of Faith, but who proved by his insane formula that he's a better writer of soft porn than of legislation by canon.
Softly, softly catchee monkey. Prevost's Vatican will allow a managed Latin Mass, in the meantime. And the prominent traditional Catholic voices who've rushed to distance themselves from the SSPX - Dr Taylor Marshall. Joseph Shaw, Latin Mass Society chairman for England and Wales, Fr Dominic White OP, of Blackfriars Hall, Oxford, and Federatio Internationalis Una Voce - will walk into the Spider's web of error, and once caught in it will eventually have to accept the inevitable: the Novus Ordo in Latin.
That's the next step in the Synodal church agenda for the gradual abolition of the Traditional Latin Mass. And the Catholic religion.
Long before the SSPX consecrations and consequent excommunications, others and I, unlike Trad. Inc., have warned and pointed out with monotonous regularity that the overarching issue is not the Traditional Latin Mass alone, but the new Vatican II religion issuing out of Rome.
We have stated repeatedly that there could be no compromise over the liturgy while adhering to the false Synodal anti-Catholic religion.
At this late stage of total apostasy in the Synodal Abomination, one does not need to be a prophet to predict that, in the wake of the SSPX excommunications, Rome will use access to the TLM as the bargaining chip to keep “Traditional” Catholics on a short leash and domesticated within the Synodal Church.
This past week, it has been telling how a choir of voices from within the kosher postconciliar concentration camp has called for exactly that: unity with error in exchange for access to the TLM.
Among the earliest episcopal responses was that of Bishop Czesław Kozon of Copenhagen. Speaking to Catholic News Agency, Kozon argued that the older liturgy should continue to have a place within the life of the Church, observing that the “Old Mass” should remain available so long as there are believers “who like to have it and are associated with it.”
A similar position was adopted by Bishop Fredrik Hansen of Oslo in a pastoral letter issued after the SSPX consecrations. Addressing Catholics who had attended SSPX chapels because of their attachment to the pre-conciliar liturgy, Hansen wrote directly to those “who are attracted to the pre-conciliar liturgy and the spirituality associated with it.” He pledged that, “if it is necessary and it serves for the good of the Church and of souls, I will also expand this kind of Mass celebration in our local Church.”
| We knew that |
Perhaps the most high-profile intervention came from Archbishop Georg Gänswein, former personal secretary to Benedict XVI and now Apostolic Nuncio to the Baltic States. In an interview with the Corriere della Sera, Gänswein argued that the arch-heretic Francis had been “wrong” to impose the restrictions contained in Traditionis Custodes, insisting that the decision “can and must be corrected.”
He further proposed that Rome should become “more flexible, generous and paternal” toward Catholics attached to the traditional liturgy. Wow, Georg, how generous of you to beg the modernist heretics to allow us access to what is rightfully ours!
Other senior prelates likewise proposed institutional solutions. Cardinal Gerhard Müller criticized the suppression of the former Pontifical Commission Ecclesia Dei, describing its abolition as an “error” because important competencies had been dispersed.
He advocated the creation of a new body possessing “some independence and autonomy” that could address both the liturgical and doctrinal questions surrounding traditionalist communities seeking full communion.
In a similar vein, Cardinal Kurt Koch, Prefect of the Dicastery for Promoting Christian Unity, argued that the Church should reconsider the application of Traditionis Custodes so as to accommodate Catholics devoted to the Traditional Latin Mass who did not share what he described as the “ideology” of the SSPX.
What Koch, of course, means by “ideology” is Catholicism. As long as you renounce the Catholic faith, they will let you have the TLM, which means nothing without the accompanying Catholic doctrine it represents.
| Just for a laugh |
Sell-out “Traditional” religious communities in full communion with Apostate Rome echoed these appeals. The Fraternity of Saint Vincent Ferrer, while reaffirming fidelity to the unHoly See, asked the usurpers to demonstrate “paternal solicitude” toward “all those Catholic faithful who feel themselves linked to some previous liturgical and disciplinary forms of the Latin tradition,” quoting directly from Ecclesia Dei.
These episcopal and religious interventions were reinforced by influential lay organizations. Joseph Shaw, chairman of the Latin Mass Society of England and Wales, unequivocally rejected the SSPX’s unilateral episcopal consecrations, yet argued that the Synodal Church should reassure those Synodalists who wished to remain fully enslaved while preserving their liturgical heritage.
He expressed the hope that the crisis would lead “to a change, reassuring those who don’t support the society’s action and wish to separate the liturgy from any thought of schism.” Shaw stressed that attachment to the Traditional Latin Mass should never be equated with support for canonical rupture with the heretical Synodal Religion.
The Latin Mass Society and Foederatio Internationalis Una Voce jointly reaffirmed their communion with Rome while warning against allowing restrictions on the traditional liturgy to drive otherwise faithful Synodalists toward the margins of ecclesial life. (Margins, in this case, of course, means driving them to Catholicism.)
Another treacherous proposal came from Fr. Dominic White, O.P., Prior of Blackfriars Hall, Oxford. While insisting that “being Catholic means being in full and regular communion,”White nevertheless argued that every diocese should make provision for the Traditional Latin Mass at “a convenient time and place.”
He further suggested the establishment of a canonical structure similar to the Personal Ordinariates, thereby providing a stable ecclesial home for Catholics attached to the older liturgy without requiring any compromise in communion with the Holy See. In other words, White wants Catholicism to be reduced to a side freak show in the Synodal circus.
You get the picture.
What will probably happen next is that Leo XIV will come up with a very generous gesture, such as “freeing up” access to the TLM (in exchange for obedience to the false religion), just enough to dupe the faithful into thinking he is the good guy. (I can already hear the slobbering, sycophantic praise coming from the Trad. Inc. camp.)
Once everyone is neatly rounded up into the cage, in the not-too-distant future, a change to the TLM will be announced that will either be a hybrid between the TLM and the Novus Ordo Missae, or simply the Novus Ordo Missae in Latin.
| Imagine this in Latin ... |
And all the good little “trads” will have to obey.
Whatever you do, do not succumb to this trade-off, which is akin to Esau selling his birthright. Worse still, do not let the TLM become the “30 pieces of silver” for which you betray Christ and the Catholic Church.https://radicalfidelity.substack.com/p/do-not-fall-for-the-coming-tlm-deception

ReplyDeleteWELL SAID.
ReplyDeleteExcellent. Your writing gave me a good laugh.
ReplyDeleteVerbal jibberish just a spider and a fly nothing to do with humans even though you insult them it's more reflective of who you are.... a flea nipping at a dogs leg see I spoke like you do
You like being called a flea or just prefer labeling everyone else?
DeletePeter Z Ski if the 'verbal jibberish' (sic) about a spider and a fly has 'nothing to do with humans' how can it insult them?
DeleteJulia du Fresne Time to act like an adult, Julia. People could liken SSPX adherents to frogs slowly being boiled to death in a pot and not realising it.
Janet Curran as this page has depicted most of those who attend the new, apostate religion's Novus Ordo.
DeleteBob Gill
DeleteJanet Curran Have you ever actually attended the SSPX Mass? I have, and I can assure you that's it's the same reverence-expressed Mass as I attended in my youth before Vatican II eventuated.
Yes, there's a stumbling block for SSPX at the moment but I pray that our Mother of the Church will help them get through it.
DeleteBob Gill Yes, I have attended the SSPX Mass on at least four occasions. I had no problem with the Mass but I did have a problem with the sermons of the Canadian priest who was there at the time. He gave a sermon in which he said the Catholic Church was a new church, in which case I realised that he wasn't in the Church. He gave on one occasion a scathing attack against St John Paul II The Great, which was so bad that I felt like walking out of the chapel. On another occasion he told all the assembled that they shouldn't enjoy food. I can understand a priest warning against gluttony but I think his sermon was extreme, as why did God give us tastebuds if not to enjoy food? Also, that priest on one occasion scraped the host down my tongue, which made me wonder if he believed in the Real Presence at all.
ReplyDeleteUna Voce has been going since 1964, way before the inception of the SSPX and is the lay organisation that saved the Traditional Latin Mass. Permission for the first indult Mass in England (the Heenan indult) was actually given by Pope Paul VI in 1971. It has been claimed since 1988 that the FSSP would collapse. There are more and more biships and cardinals calling out for TC to be rescinded and that will happen. Also, people in glass houses should not throw stones as can be seen from this document - and I googled all the SSPX priests on the list and found out they were all convicted and sentenced: https://teamfsociety.org/en/saint-pius-x-pedoring-1970-2020/
Janet Curran good for Una Voce! But I daresay that if you like to go dirt-digging on Google you'd find sinners in any organisation, lay or clerical.

DeleteTrue. But if you keep ranting on about Fernandez and accusing the Church of doing nothing about these kind of people then you need to admit that some pretty high ups in the SSPX are accused of some serious crimes and one convicted, for example, of torturing three SSPX women. A French priest from the Society of St. Pius X (SSPX) Christophe Roisnel was sentenced to 19 years for aggravated rape, cruelty, and torture. "The 40-year-old priest, who served as director of the private Notre-Dame de la Sablonnière school in Goussonville (near Paris), allegedly committed these acts against three female teachers during unauthorized "exorcisms" in the autumn of 2010."
DeleteJanet Curran the SSPX is not pretending to be the Catholic Church, like Fernandez and 'these kind of people' (sic). So I don't 'need to admit' anything of what you allege, especially as I have a day job and no time or inclination for researching irrelevant, salacious data.
DeleteJulia du Fresne Quite frankly, I would expect more of traditional priests and you've got plenty of time to 'research' and paste screeds of untruths about the Holy Father but no time to find out the truth about the SSPX or won't face facts more like. Certainly, as you complain about homosexuality in the Church, it is only right that the homosexuality in the SSPX and the cover up by Fellay and Pagliarani is pointed out. Fernandez is bad enough but what he has done really doesn't compare to the crimes committed by those 16 SSPX priests against their own lay people.
ReplyDeleteA notorious public heretic excludes himself from the Church. He has no authority to decide anything in the Catholic Church which he does not belong.
DeleteThe biggest threat to the Modernist, Synodal, Ape of the Church, is Traditional Catholics. That is why they have to be Exterminated, at all costs, beginning with the largest group, which is the SSPX, and working their way down.
ReplyDelete✝️Matthew 23: 23-24
23 Woe to you scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites; because these things you 'ought' to have 'done,' and 'not' left 'undone.' 24 'Blind guides,' who 'strain' out a gnat, and 'swallow' a camel.
✝️Luke 10:42
But 'one thing' is necessary.
🔥The Undeniable 'State of Emergency' in today's Synodal Church🔥
Our Lord left behind 99 of His sheep to save the one sheep who had separated from the 99 and gotten lost.
His Shepherd or Priestly example was that every human soul on earth was worth saving and that no effort should be spared nor risk not taken to save that '1' lost sheep.
Such a salvific 'rescue' represents the epitome of genuine charity and love of neighbor.
At least, for two thousand years it did.
But no longer.
✝️John 10:7
7 Jesus therefore said to them again: Amen, amen I say to you, I am the door of the sheep. 8 All others, as many as have come, are thieves and robbers: and the sheep heard them not. 9 I am the door. By me, if any man enter in, he shall be saved..."
1 sheep lost? What about 7+ billion eternally 'lost' sheep and no one in Rome seems to care.
🔥7 billion non-Christian human souls are 'not' being catechized by the Synodalists.
🔥The Synodalists also continue to tell their Talmudic 'elder' brothers that they remain perfectly fine 'within' the once salvific confines of the Old Covenant - which the Conciliarists heretically 'revalidated' 60 years ago and simultaneously forbid others to continue teaching this pre-V2 Church New Covenant 'supersessionist' Dogma.
No catechesis occurring here either.
🔥Finally, all of our still 'separated' Christen brethren continue to be 'reaffirmed' in the soul-damning heresies of their still corrupted but 'once' pure Catholic Faith.
And, how, say you?
🔥Leo happily has an Anglican bishopess of Canterbury publicly 'bless' him and members of his Curia.
ReplyDelete🔥A Detroit Archbishop, participating in the ribbon-cutting ceremony of the opening of a new Mosque, gushed that it was a 'sacred' place and that he never stood on 'holier' ground.
🔥A California bishop 'consecrates' a female Episcopalian priestess into the office of bishop without papal approval.
Do the 'salvific necessities' of Penance and Holy Communion only 'apply' to Catholics, when every soul goes to his or her terrible Particular Judgments?
And what of historically condemned sexual sins? Does a soul no longer need to fear committing such previously understood transgressions, as well as their eternal consequences?
🔥In England, a Cardinal (and former papal household preacher), along with 2 other Catholic Bishops Emiratus , just concelebrated a Mass to honor the 50th 'Togetherness' Anniversary of a longterm homosexual 'practicing' couple, who were surrounded by their homosexual 'practicing' friends.
So, no catechesis happening here.
🔥This is entirely and evilly 'willful.'🔥
Finally, turning to members of the Catholic Church itself:
🔥Only 18% of Catholics, globally, attend Mass every Sunday.
🔥72% of all Catholics worldwide walk around everyday in states of objective 'mortal sin.'
🔥Whomever in this 72% 'dies' today would suffer perdition for this 'one' singular and 'unabsolved' mortal sin.
And that doesn't take into account any other 'types' of mortal sins that both they and the 18% of Sunday Mass attending Catholics may also be committing and not being confessed for afterwards.
🔥Leo spent the 4th of July 'calling" for there to be an even greater 'mass migration' of military aged Muslims into Europe and into the USA (for those are the Muslims who are coming in).
What Sovereign Pontiff before V2 would ever had so 'little' concern for Catholic Faithful to do so?
They're 'burning' down our Churches and 'murdering' our priests and faithful right now in Nigeria and elsewhere in the world. 250,000 white, Christian women in the UK have been gang raped by largely Muslim Pakistani gangs.
Is the Pope unaware of these horrors?
🔥No State of Emergency?🔥
🔥Billions of human souls, have been 'lost,' are being 'lost' and will continue to be 'lost' through the evil of 'religious indifference.'
These fundamental articles of Faith are 'irreformable.'
And the SSPX continues to sound the warning bell & conduct its activities accordingly.
