Feast of Pope St. Pius X
Dear Friends in Our Lady,
Praised be Jesus and Mary. Praised be Jesus and Mary. During the past two months there have been two major events in the Conciliar Church that should be mentioned. First, “Pope” Francis went to the Gemelli hospital in Rome on July 4th for scheduled intestinal surgery. According to its usual policy, the Vatican has remained tight-lipped about the surgery and its long-term effects. On the other hand, Luis Badilla Morales, a well-connected reporter for the Novus Ordo blog Il Sismografo, stated that Francis’ condition is serious and that he “will never be the same again.”
According to Badilla, the disease affecting Francis “is severe and degenerative” and “could also be chronic.” In the post he claims that Francis was suffering from diverticulitis, which resulted in surgery to remove a small part of the colon. After a few days Francis was back at the Vatican and there has been little further comment on his condition. It remains to be seen how this will affect his activities going forward, but one thing is for sure: Francis continues his Modernist agenda to undermine the Faith. If anything, he has stepped up his pace to make the Conciliar Church into his image.
It wasn’t two weeks later that the Vatican dropped a bombshell: Francis released a document, rumored for months to be in preparation, that reversed Benedict XVI’s permission for priests to offer the traditional Latin Mass. Henceforth in the Conciliar Church, that permission can only come from the bishop of the diocese. This move shocked and dismayed Catholics who have not yet found their way out of the false church of Vatican II. Critics said they had never before seen a “pope” so thoroughly reverse a decision of his predecessor—especially one who is still living at the Vatican!
To add insult to injury, the document was published on July 16th, the feast of Our Lady of Mount Carmel. Francis justified the move by saying that he had to take action because Benedict’s decree of 2007 had become a source of division and had been exploited by Catholics opposed to the Second Vatican Council. But what really bothered Francis and the other Modernists who run the Conciliar Church, is the fact that young people are flocking to the true Mass, whenever it is offered. I will write more on this topic later in this issue of our quarterly magazine.
It is no secret that “Pope” Francis detests the true Mass. And why not? For the true Mass is antithetical to all that the new religion of Vatican II stands for. The Tridentine Latin Mass perfectly expresses the sentiments of worship of God, while the Novus Ordo is the worship of man. Something had to give in the Conciliar Church, since the true Mass and the new religion could not coexist. Let us pray that this turn of events will open the eyes of those who remain in the Conciliar Church while yet retaining in their hearts the true Faith. May they finally have the grace to see the truth and reject Vatican II, the Novus Ordo, the false popes, and the new religion!
In Jesus and Mary,
