TRAD DERANGEMENT SYNDROME (LEO WON'T BAN THE TLM)

To comment please open your gmail account or use my email address, FB Messenger or X. Unless you're a troll, of course.

The days of the Traditional Latin Mass - the Mass of the Catholic Martyrs and Saints - are numbered. The Antichurch of Antipope Leo will not tolerate the Mass of Ages for much longer, simply because it is the worship of God in truth: it opposes the sham of the new Mass and the new religion of the postconciliar Ape of the Church. 

As a permissive act of the divine Will, the eventual (but temporary) banishment of the Old Mass will be A Good Thing. An Excellent Thing actually, for those Catholics who will then be forced to abandon their uncomfortable pozzy of cognitive dissonance, their tame acceptance of the Vatican's pseudo authority which forbids them to practise their faith. Especially will it be Excellent for the conciliar hierarchy who rolled over and wagged their tails when Antipope Jorge Bergoglio issued his diktat Traditionis Custodes. Most of these men are in their declining years with little time left to repent.

It's nothing short of astonishing that almost without exception these princes of the Church acquiesced in Rome's arbitrary confiscation of "the most beautiful thing this side of heaven" (Fr Faber). And what about the faithful Catholics in the pews?They thought that if 'the pope' had done that to the Latin Mass, and cardinals, bishops and priests had said nothing, it must be okay. Just as they'd thought the same about Communion in the hand, Mass versus populum and the other abuses foisted on them by Paul VI's liberal, Freemasonic regime. 

The exception that proves the rule

So that when the demonstrably heretical 'Pope Francis' heinously abrogated the Mass - the priceless treasure of the Church - Catholics took it lying down. And now Trad Inc tiptoes around Rome, with 'traditional' prelates like Müller and Burke going cap-in-hand to a bunch of heretics for permission to let Catholics be Catholic. 

And bishops like William Medley in Kentucky have the preposterous cheek and ignorance to suggest that the Traditional Latin Mass can be replaced by the Latin version of the Novus Ordo. If it weren't blasphemous, one might speak of putting lipstick on a pig. Or recall Marie Antoinette, quoted (falsely) as saying "Let them eat cake". The question now for all Catholics, clerical and lay, to ponder is, which Mass expresses the one, holy, Catholic and apostolic faith of our fathers? The Old Mass, or the New? It can't be both: there is only one truth, and it never changes because if it did it would no longer be truth. 

A Pope would discern what's what and rule accordingly. He would either lift all restrictions on the illegally suppressed Old Mass or ban the New. But an antipope does neither. Instead he exhibits the vice of effeminacy so rife in the conciliar cult which often shows itself in liking to be liked. An antipope lets his mouthpieces (like Cardinal Victor Fernandez and the singularly rebarbative Cardinal Arthur Roche) attract the animosity while he charms public sinners, and travels the world politicking and posing for photo opps. He hides behind Roche, who declared on July 28 that “Pope Leo is not going to change Traditionis Custodes, and he’s not going back to Summorum Pontificum. As Prefect for the Dicastery of Divine Worship and the Discipline of the Sacraments, Roche ought to know what he's talking about. 

And the Spanish publication La Razón claims Pope Leo XIV is against the Traditional Latin Mass and that Roche’s January document was written at the Pope’s requestwas written by Roche and the team of his Dicastery at the request of the 'Pontiff', who subsequently reviewed it. ‘Not a single comma was changed.’

• And there's Medley in Kentucky, swopping the TLM for the NO in Latin
  
• In Charlotte, North Carolina, Bishop Michael Martin has reduced traditional Mass locations; any continuation of the Old Rite will be 'transitional'
• In Detroit, Archbishop Edward Weisenburger announced that permissions for TLMs in parish churches could not be renewed
• In Knoxville, Tennessee, diocesan authorities implemented a transition away from the 1962 Missal and toward celebrations of the Novus Ordo in Latin 

The modus operandi in the scenarios quoted above is literally fiendishly cunning: the criterion for permission from Modernist Rome to continue the Traditional Latin Mass is proof that its communities demonstrate a growing adherence to the New Mass. In other words, if Catholicism doesn't auto-destruct it will be destructed anyway. By 'Pope Leo XIV' and his synodal sect. 

But Trad Inc still persist in their fond belief that 'Pope Leo XIV' is Catholic and ignoring the enormous, bright pink elephant in the Church that is the new, synodal religion sponsored by the Santa Marta Mafia. 

Hope is a beautiful, theological virtue but wishful thinking is no virtue at all. Best let the Antichurch have its wicked way, eradicate the Latin Mass and thus save the "conservatives" in their cosy Ecclesia Dei enclaves from any further sinning against charity by excusing themselves from the fight for Christ and His Church.

From Riaan Van Zyl at Integrity Magazine:

 

Earlier this week, on a podcast with Stephen Kokx, I briefly made a statement which I think might have made some viewers uncomfortable. Not only was there not enough time left to really explore what I meant, but, as usual, my passion trumped my eloquence, and afterwards I wished I had expressed myself better.

 

Before I continue, I do want to give credit where credit is due by making it clear that it was a post on X (and a short video) by St. AnthonyPadau Radtrad that triggered the train of thought that led to this essay.

 

We will get back to his post shortly, but as I often have to do at the start of these essays, I want to ask you to make a cup of tea, relax, and hear me out until the end. Please do not read this intro, cuss, and then unsubscribe or jump into the comment section scolding me.

 

Despite the headline, I want to make it clear that I do not have some sadistic desire for good, decent Catholic folk who are doing their best to practice their faith to be deprived of the Traditional Latin Mass they attend, if they are even lucky enough to have one to attend.

 

I have always appreciated that my readership includes a broad spectrum of held beliefs and convictions: from those who still attend the Novus Ordo, to those who attend indult Masses, former Ecclesia Dei communities, SSPX, SSPX-Resistance, sedeprivationist communities, and finally even hardcore home-alone sedevacantists.

 

I have always held the sincere belief that the majority of my readership shares a love of Christ and the Catholic Faith and are all trying their best to defend the rights of Christ and His Church.

 

But these are terrible times we find ourselves in, where Catholicism has literally been criminalized by the usurping heresiarchy in Rome, and everyone is doing the best with where they are at, both geographically and spiritually. Therefore, please, if you do attend an FSSP TLM or a diocesan Latin Mass, do not think that I want you to find yourself out in the liturgical cold. I realize all too well that if what I am about to discuss happens, then many will have no Traditional Mass to go to.

 

That being said, the other side should also be considered very carefully: eventually, they are going to completely halt all access to the TLM within the Synodal Church, that is certain. It is not ‘if’, but ‘when’. So, instead of getting angry at me, maybe it is time to make peace with this looming reality, if you have not yet, and prudently make decisions accordingly.

 

Now though, I appeal to your charity and patience to hear me out.

 

On July 31, the above-mentioned X user posted the following short message:

“I am ready for the Novus Ordo to close down their Latin Masses. It will force the indults to accept their own religion.”

 

At first glance, this might seem harsh, but the more I thought about it, the truer it rang. Again, if you are one of those who recognize that the Synodal Church and its hierarchy are not Catholic but still have to attend a Synodally-sanctioned TLM because you see no other way, this essay is not about you. Although, as I already said, best you start preparing for the inevitable coming ban on the TLM.

 

Who this essay is for, though, or maybe about, are those who, on the one hand, want to recognize the heretical popes and their sodomy-promoting, idol-worshipping, communism-advancing false Synodal religion, while at the same time also want to not only indulge in their fantasies of being “Traditional” Catholics, but also want to gaslight, discredit, ostracize, persecute, and mock real Catholics who had to make costly decisions and sacrifices to say, sorry, but we cannot be part of the Synodal Church and its false religion; we want to be Catholics in the Catholic Church. Who had to say: “Go ahead and excommunicate us from your fake and gay “church”, we choose Christ and Catholicism”.

 

It is because of these people’s luxurious hypocrisy that I thus say: the Synodal Church must outlaw the TLM sooner rather than later. Not only that, it must “excommunicate” any synodal priest or synodal layperson who dares to say the Traditional Latin Mass or attend it anywhere. Harsh? Here is why.

 

For decades now, the permission from the apostate heretics in the Vatican for diocesan TLM communities and the former Ecclesia Dei institutes to exist has worsened the crisis and, in effect, paralyzed many Catholics with confusion, because it was seen as “proof” that the postconciliar “Church” still has room for Catholic Tradition. (Read this last sentence again. If something must make “room for Catholic Tradition”, it means it itself is not Catholic, but something new and different!)

 

On the one hand, the laity got comfortable with the idea that they had to ask “permission” from heretics to be Catholic, and, on the other, it emboldened Trad. Inc.-type influencers, fence-sitting clergy, and “conservative” prelates like Burke and Müller to not address the root problem, but rather pontificate from their hypocritical high horses.

 

Admittedly, these communities do serve as some kind of refuge for those who find themselves in the apocalyptic wasteland that is Synodality, but the price for these pockets of pretention is extremely high. It means avoiding the questions at the heart of the Great Deception: if the Synodal trash heap masquerading as the Catholic Church truly believes that Vatican II represents the authentic and irreversible direction of Catholicism, then why should it continue to preserve islands of resistance within its own structures?

 

If Vatican II truly was a genuine development in Catholicism, then surely the TLM belongs to the past? But if the TLM expresses the perennial faith handed down for almost two millennia, then surely it cannot be treated as a mere tolerated exception?

 

The Traditional Latin Mass cannot be both the historic expression of the Roman Church and a privilege granted at the discretion of apostate bishops and infiltrators in the Vatican. One of these views must give way.

 

If the preconciliar Church taught one thing, and the postconciliar church taught a contradicting one, they cannot both be the Catholic Church.

 

If A equals X, and B equals Y, then A cannot be equal to B. It is not hard to understand. Yet that is exactly the sorcery the Synodal Church has been imposing on the faithful who would rather attend these little “permission” Masses than face the difficult truth.

 

The postconciliar hierarchy has repeatedly insisted that the Council cannot be questioned, as recently as during the SSPX debacle, and that its reforms are here to stay. This would mean that this new anti-Catholic religion, with its new liturgy, ecumenism, heretical religious liberty, and the new pastoral approach of demonic relativism, is as legitimate an expression of Catholicism as the religion to which St. Pius X or St. Alphonsus Liguori adhered. The Synodal hierarchy has been remarkably consistent in defending the Council as the defining event of “modern Catholicism.”

 

By allowing these communities to exist as long as they accept the false authority of the Synodal Church, Rome has not only caused great dissonance and confusion but capitalized on it: in this “abusive relationship,” the victim - the laity - is granted some traditional optics in exchange for obedience to a new religion that wants to destroy Catholicism and usher in the Antichrist.

 

Due to this arrangement of compromise, we today have a large group of confused Catholics who identify as “Traditional” while remaining comfortably within the structures of the postconciliar harlot.

 

Do many sincerely believe that they are preserving the faith of their fathers while remaining obedient sons and daughters of the Church? Absolutely. They criticize the collapse of Catholic culture, lament doctrinal confusion, oppose many modern theological trends, and speak warmly of the Church before the Council, but continue to recognize the authority of the men responsible for governing the very institution that has been demolishing Catholicism for 60-odd years.

 

This is not only an unsustainable situation but also an unacceptable one.

 

If they recognize that the religion issuing from Vatican II contradicts previous Catholic doctrine, then why continue to lend legitimacy to it by obeying the usurpers and infiltrators who are the architects of this synodal beast?

 

On the other hand, if you recognize this as the legitimate Catholic Church, stop criticizing its hierarchy, reforms, new anti-Catholic doctrines, heterodoxy, and new liturgy, and submit yourself totally to it.

 

The continued existence of officially recognized Traditional Latin Mass communities is only worsening this dilemma by providing a false middle ground that softens the force of the underlying questions. Catholics who are caught in this erroneously think they have found a stable balance between fidelity to the past and obedience in the present. This mentality tragically makes them complicit in the war on Catholicism and Catholics.

 

Because of this compromise, the uncomfortable questions can always be postponed because the “old” Mass is still available somewhere, somehow, never mind the fact that you have to swear fealty to a false religion to get your permission slip to attend.

 

As long as that remains true, many will never examine the real problem: that the Synodal Church should be fled from, and that they will eventually go down with the ship at the expense of their souls.

 

This brings us to the other, dangerous part of the problem: those like Trad. Inc. and the conservative Synodal apologist who, with great sanctimonious smugness, want to straddle both Catholicism and the Synodal religion while calling the shots.

 

If the TLM is finally completely erased in the Synodal Abomination, it will be like the opening of a festering, pus-filled sore. These peddlers of compromise and hypocrisy will then have to choose. Their masks will necessarily have to come off. Either they choose the Synodal Church, all its doctrines of devils, its anti-popes, and its Neo-Protestant liturgy, or they fully reject it and throw their weight in with those fighting for Christ, Catholicism, and the Catholic Church.

 

 

but Latin is not their reason for abolishing the TLM; it's the Catholic faith

This will not be comfortable, but at least it will force Catholics to get serious about their faith again. Catholicism will then once again become something costly and precious. It will become the guiding principle around which Catholics will organize their lives, and not a religion of convenience and the least resistance.

 

The compromise, though, cannot continue, as it only postpones the conflict without resolving it.

 

Removing “permitted” Traditional Latin Masses from the equation will end the lunacy of having a group who have been able to criticize the postconciliar crisis while remaining within the institutions they believe produced it. This will force them to either denounce the modernist religion or recognize the authority of those who introduced it, but not both.

 

Holy Scripture warns us “to hold fast to the traditions that have been handed down” and rightly asks, “what participation hath justice with injustice? Or what fellowship hath light with darkness? And what concord hath Christ with Belial? Or what part hath the faithful with the unbeliever?” It also instructs us to choose between “life and death, blessing and cursing.”

 

The time has come to choose unequivocally between the Catholic Church and the false Synodal imitation. To choose between loyalty to the postconciliar ecclesiastical order or the Catholic tradition and truth they failed to preserve.

 

To choose to stop being lukewarm and double-minded, lest you be spat out of His mouth.
