Defense of the Tridentine Latin Mass against Francis the Antichrist
01/01/22 08:55
Let us examine the Antichrist Francis and his deconstruction of the Catholic faith and his latest tactics of quashing the Tridentine Latin Mass, the Mass of the Ages. Gone is Roman Catholic Orthodoxy with him and his minions, the bishops and priests of the day. To accommodate the world, flesh, and devil is the route the demon sitting on Peter’s Throne currently is all about, along with his cooperators the bishops and priests who all suffer from the clerical disease of COLLAR FEVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This translates to their consummate fear of standing up for the orthodox perennial truths of the Catholic faith for centuries because of their fear of losing their desired ecclesiastical position of their priesthood and their prestige, clerical affluence of the easy life. Ultimately, the perennial truths of the Catholic faith, especially today the traditional Mass of the ages, the august Tridentine Mass , are unimportant along with enforcing no Communion in the hand, and not teaching of Sin and with it the need for the faithful to practice frequent Confession.
This is the doctrine of Francis the Antichrist and all paid for clerics with their enviable worldly positions of living the high life in their rectories and Catholic Universities and who adamantly and satanically refuse to teach Sin and the world’s consummation and love of it.
And how does he do this Antichrist Francis and Collar Fever priests and bishops of the day? The Fathers of the Church emphasize the corruption of the liturgy that will prevail at the last days!!! As the end draws nearer and nearer, the Church will be subjected to a fiercer, more diabolical persecution than any previously suffered. There will be a cessation of all religious worship. “They shall take away the daily sacrifice.” Some Fathers interpret these words to mean that the Antichrist and his sychophantic minions will suppress for three and a half years all public religious worship. Others remind us that the Antechrist will set up his throne within the Temple of God and demand worship of himself from his depraved followers. This is to quote Fr. Vincent Miceli and his Masterpiece on the “Antichrist” and further we quote the “Antichrist” which also states unequivocally:
“Unfortunately, it has happened in our day; the liturgy ( New Mass of Vatican II) is a sign of contradiction among Christians today; for the Holy Mass (tridentine) that once united Christians now, with the new liturgy, fiercely divides Christians. Many Catholics, because of the dilution of the sacred in the New liturgy, and the breezy manner in which many radical priests celebrate it, cannot attend such liturgies; for they find it morally impossible to have to endure the desacralized antics allowed by the liturgical storm troopers. Hence they stay way!!! Thus we see that, over and above the persecution of blood and death, there is even today a persecution of craftiness and subversion. (of suppressing Traditional Tridentine Mass of Ages). The precursors of the Man of Sin are very effective in splitting up and dividing Christians or Catholics. They are successful in dislodging many from the rock of salvation, in driving many into heresy and schism, depriving them of their Christian liberty, strength, peace and their household in Christ.”
With the current pandemic of COLLAR FEVER (FEAR OF LOSING THEIR POSITION AS PRIESTS AND BISHOPS) there is no difficulty of Diabolical Liberalism of Vatican II, and the New Mass, along with Ecumenism which has won its day with dictator Francis the Antichrist, and will continue to do so. God forbid the loss of souls underway now at the behest of Francis, the Antichrist and his pusillanimous legions of priests and bishops and even faithful!!!!
Witness the Francis antichrist doctrine and all priests with COLLAR FEVER!!! When we speak of the Antichrist and liberal priests and the Francis doctrine as enemies of our salvation, we mean godless men who live in and accommodate the world. It is of such that the Evangelist speaks, when he says “the world knew Him not: (John, I. 10 ) And again: “If the world hate you, know you that it hath hated Me before you: (John, xv. 18). And “wonder not brethren, if the world hate you: ( 1 John iii, 13), for “ the whole world is steeped in wickedness: (1 John, v. 19), and “all that is in the world is the concupiscence of the flesh, and concupiscence of the eyes, and the pride of life.” (1 John, 11. 16).
The majority of men live a worldly life. Their outlook is confined to this world. Their desires are centered on the things of this world. They ignore God and the teaching of Jesus Christ. They have bodies, and, their bodies being chiefly in evidence, they give the chief care to their bodies, gratifying their every sense and bodily appetite. They see round about them material things. They aim at independence, power, wealth, reputation. ( Collar Fever of Clerics afraid to lose their position from the antichrist Francis , the antichrist dictator!!!)
Thus the faithful and clerics are nothing more than intellectual animals. They have no use for self-denial, mortification, detachment, humility, chastity, all the tools of sanctity and the Cross of Jesus Christ.
They are jovial companions among their own class. They are such as we may conjecture the pagan poet Horace to have been. He had his town house and his country villa; his villa urbana and villa rustica. He kept a good table, the affluence of society today with both clerics and faithful. They are rarely without the choicest alcoholic beverages both wines and liquors and even mind altering pschotropic drugs, marijuana, and other such narcotic drugs, thus giving full vent to the HEDONISM of the DAY and indulging the boy and all its lusts!!!
Many of the worldly today, including clerics and faithful, are well educate, witty, and popular among their own. They easily succumb to their powerful liberal patrons, both politicians and the wealthy elite of the extreme LEFT. How barbarous would the Gospel truths seem to the Horaces of the world and the roman empire after looking at his wonderful elegant odes in all their different meters!!! What folly the Gospel teaching would seem to these with its insistence on RENUNCIATION, MEEKNESS, CHASTITY, LOVE OF ALL MEN, JOYfUll IN SUFFERING! What a complete reversal of all the worldly philosophy of the day it would seem to be, as indeed it is!!!
The number of Horaces and worldy in all ages is legion. They are men and women of no religion, and of all religions. They are found among Catholics too---those Catholic priest with COLLAR FEVER and faithful who do not take their religion seriously. This worldly philosophy of accomodating the world is everywhere and encouraged everywhere by its demon advocate Francis the Antichrist!!!
This worldly philosophy is everywhere. It is an atmosphere in which we live. It comes to be taken for granted. There are very few who are untainted by it. To prevent ourselves, orthodox Roman Catholics, from being saturated by it, we have to be continually reacting against it. We must make ourselves familiar with the opposite philosophy—the philosophy of the Gospel. We must see how the philosophy of the Gospel is translated into action by reading the LIVES OF THE SAINTS, and noting the examples of good men. We must pray to be delivered from this WORLDLY SPIRIT, and we must cherish our spirit of adoption, “for whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world” (1 John, v. 4).
“Our Hope Is In Jesus Christ”
My dear readers, our enemies without may be strong, and our enemies within may be treacherous and many. But are we men of good will? Do we wish to fight for Christ? If we are willing to fight for Christ against the enemies of our salvation, then we must engage in the lifelong combat of the Cross with certain hope of victory.
Our Lord Jesus Christ teaches us how to resist temptation. There is not a passion within us that cannot be overcome by His grace. And His graces are given in a never-ending stream to those who ask. “ I can do all things in Him who strengtheneth me” (Phil, iv. 13). And how He encourages us in the struggle: “To him that shall overcome I will give to sit with Me in My throne: (Apoc. Iii. 21). “He shall be clothed in white garments, and I will not blot out his name from the book of life, and I will confess his name before My Father and before His angels” (Apoc, iii. 5).
Further He tells us that our combat is His combat: “In the world you shall have distress: but have confidence, I have overcome the world” (John, xvi. 23). And Satan---the old serpent, the devil, the prince of this world, is already judged and cast out. His proud head is forever crushed beneath the heel of a little maiden, THE IMMACULATE MOTHER OF GOD.
And she loves us with a strong constant, tender love which has no equal outside the Sacred Heart of Our Lord.
Remember May’s words, the Mother of God:
“I am the Mother of fair love, of knowledge, of fear and of holy hope; “In Me is all Grace of the Way and the Truth; In Me is all hope of life and virtue!!!
Pray devoutly with the Mother of God for her to crush the head of the Serpent, everywhere, especially in the Roman Catholic faith!!!!!!
“Defense of the Tridentine Mass”
It is time to defend the most holy Trdentine Mass of the Ages in reminiscing with David’s Prayers and the Psalms and his words: “Offer worthy sacrifice to God and do not worry.” The whole problem with the “New Mass” is it is not an orthodox Roman Catholic sacrifice to God for sin but caters to the folly that there is no absolute truths of the faith that need defending anymore in the liturgy !!! Above all the so-called sacrifice of the Mass offered to God in the “New Mass” fails to teach the absolute truth of “repentance for sin” that is so necessary for each soul for salvation. This is because it does not offer “worthy sacrifice to God for sin” as King David in the Old Law saw so necessary. The priest in the Novus Ordo “ New Mass” can, Protestant style, offer any kind of Mass he wants, oblivious to the absolute catechetical truth of teaching “repentance for sin” to save one’s immortal soul. Even the so-called Roman Canon fails miserably to be orthodox Roman Catholic worship to God “in repentance for sin” because it does not follow the centuries old rubrics of the Tridentine Latin Mass. It is not in Latin, the priest does not wear Roman vestments, nor is the altar facing East, nor does the priest follow the traditional gestures of the Roman Canon in humble worship!!! Only the traditional Latin Tridentine Mass does this so truly and so perfectly in offering “worthy sacrifice” to God for our sins!
What is worthy sacrifice to God , the Novus Ordo “New Mass” that ignores sin and our culpability which allows the priest to choose the Mass prayers he wants or the absolutely “orthodox Roman Catholic Tridentine Mass” which everywhere in its supplications and prayers of the priest and people strives to repent for all sin?
Let us examine clearly the fulfillment of David’s words to offer “worthy sacrifice”; from the foot of the altar, the priest prays a worthy “Confiteor” to confess his sins , then a second time this prayer is made by the servers and people for forgiveness for their sins. Then most important of all, the priest of the Tridentine Mass only, not in the “New Mass”, asks God through his powers to forgive sins, to grant him and the people, “Pardon, Absolution, and Remission of their sins.” So important a prayer to God for proper sacrifice to Him for our sins.
Asking God and my brothers and sisters to forgive sin is extremely misleading to the faithful as only God alone forgives sins. Unmitigating the priest’s exlcusive power to forgive sins in God’s place is the correct orthodoxy of Catholicism for 2000 years of the Mass, as a holy sacrifice of Jesus Christ for our sins!
The “Confiteor” of the Traditional Lain Mass does not pray to your brothers and sisters but begs God’s forgiveness through the hands of Mary, St. Michael, John the Baptist, St. Peter and Paul and all the Saints to intercede to God for us, for our sins! An entirely different prayer than the Novus Ordo “New Mass”.
The Priest officiating in full Roman Vestments rises up the steps of the altar with his back always towards the faithful attending Mass , begging that he present himself and the people before God Almighty with a “pure heart”; again deleted by the Protestant and modernist “Novus Ordo , New Mass”! And as the priest continues to step up to the altar he begs God Almighty that “by the merits of the Saints whose relics are here, and of all the Saints, that Thou would vouchsafe to forgive me all my sins.” A very, very Catholic prayer, referencing the holy relics in every altar and its saintly relics to beg further pardon for our sins, and quite often the relics are of St. Joseph, the Blessed Virgin or some other significant saint; again, absolutely missing from the non-salvific Protestant Novus Ordo New Mass, in order to not “offend” other religions like the Protestants and non-catholics who do not believe in Catholic Saints!
Next, the priest and the people ask further pardon for their sins by praying the “Kyrie, kyrie, kyrie” or “Lord have mercy, lord have mercy, lord have mercy!” This prayer is effective if and only if it comes from a “contrite and humble heart” which always evokes true sorrow for sin and arises and comes from true compunction of heart! As anyone who reads the Psalms, written by King David, knows that Almighty God only forgives sin from such a holy attitude, clearly explained in Psalm 50 or the famous “Miserere Psalm”. God forgives no sin if it does not emanate from such a “contrite and humble heart”. Even the “Gloria” of the Mass, surprisingly is a prayer in praise of God’s Glory and is so supplicating of God’s mercy for forgiveness of our sins in its aspirations, again and again! “Lord Jesus Christ Who takes away the sins of the world , have mercy on us and hear our prayer!”
Following this, the Priest during the Offertory of the Mass asks God’s pardon for his sins and the people by praying to Almighty God, to receive this stainless host, which I, thine unworthy servant offer to Thee, my God, living and true, for mine “innumerable sins, offenses, and negligences, and for all here present; as also for all faithful Christians, living and dead.”
Again, this proper and prayerful true compunction of heart is not at all present or required in the “Novus Ordo”, New Mass, the Unsalvific “New Mass” from Vatican II and Pope Paul VI---the most disastrous and heretical Council of the Church in 2000 years! God forbid!
Then the officiating priest of the Tridentine Mass begs God at the Offertory “to forgive his sins and all those present by “washing his hands among the innocent” and then he will continue “worthy” sacrifice at God’s altar. And in this same prayer from Psalm XXV of the Mass and with true contrition for his sins asks God to “not take away my soul with the wicked and with further “firm purpose of amendment for his sins and those of the people present prays, and assures God Almighty that “his feet have stood in the right way; in the Churches will he bless Thee, O Lord.” How profound sacrifice, asking forgiveness for sin; once more not at all present in the “unsalvific Novus Ordo Mass” which fails totally to do this or make mandatory in its prayers!
Following the Offertory prayers of “purification” of the priest’s hands and soul and the peoples comes the “ Suscipe Sancta Trinitas” prayer to the most Holy Trinity, an essential Catholic doctrine, begging Him to make this sacrifice for sin be efficacious because it recalls the “Passion, Resurrection, and Ascension” of Jesus Christ in His honor, and also ( again very Catholic} of Mary, always a Virgin and John the Baptist and the holy apostles, Peter and Paul with all the saints (very Catholic) be profitable for their honor and to the salvation of the priest officiating and all the faithful only because all the holy saints and the most Holy Trinity, shall intercede for the Salvation of the priest and the faithful in attendance!”
Can you understand why this, one of the holiest of prayers in the Tridentine Latin Mass to beg Almighty God for forgiveness and Mercy from our sins in a “worthy sacrifice” for sin was extracted from the Protestant Novus Ordo “New Mass” of Paul VI and Vatican II?
Again, to make it more amenable to the Liberal and heretical Cardinals and Bishops of Vatican II and not in accordance to the rubrics of the Perennial Mass of the Ages, the most holy Tridentine Mass; established as “sacrosanct forever” by Pope Pius V in the 16th century, along with his “anathema” for everyone who in his reign or thereafter, alter “a single word or rubric”---which Vatican II and the “New Mass crowd” of the Pope Paul VI and his main facilitator and most feckless , A. Bugnini totally ignored!
Let us continue to clarify the “Unsalvific Nature or Sins” of the Novus Ordo fiasco with the Canon Prayers of the Tridentine Mass with the Preface Prayers to the Holy Trinity which exactly begs to “thank” the One God in Three divine persons correctly and which states in the prayer of “thanks” in confessing the true and eternal Godhead, “ discretion in powers, unity in essence and equality in majesty, may be adored.” Once more not a necessity and virtually lacking in any of the common preface prayers, created by Paul VI’s Mass in the 1960’s and A. Bugnini’s theatrics!
Then the angels, Cherubim and Seraphim are implored, angels and archangels alike, to pray with us the holy “Sanctus, Sanctus, Sanctus” prayer---one of the few places the “Novus Ordo Missae” did not deviate from the Mass of the Ages! Praise God Almighty!
-- The Canon—
The officiating priest then prays to Almighty God for the Church through the auspices of Jesus Christ (the most perfect High Priest” and Son of God and Lord) that He would bless this oblation, the holy unspotted Sacrifice for all “orthodox, Catholic and apostolic believers and teachers of whom the pope is assumed to be one himself and continuing, the officiating priest then prays for the “redemption of the souls of all faithful offering up this sacrifice for their souls and their redemption.”
This formula prayer in the Tridentine Latin Mass, has been eliminated virtually, from the Novus ordo and the next lengthy prayer, likewise, to Mary, the Virgin and Mother of God ( both doctrinal) and a list of the Saints, mainly apostles and first popes, to intercede in heaven for the priest and faithful at Mass through Christ the Lord!
And, then, closing the prayers of the first part of the Canon of the Mass is the “Hanc Igitur” prayer asking God Almighty to make this sacrifice efficacious for the priest and faithful to keep their souls in Peace, and secure from Eternal damnation and to be numbered part of the “saved or elect”.
---Institution of Christ’s Real Presence”
Undoubtedly, one of the most deleterious, heretical and abominable and blasphemous acts of the “New Mass” was tinkering and arrogantly assaulting Christ’s own words: “This is the chalice of My blood of the New and Eternal Testament: the Mystery of Faith; which shall be shed for “you” and for “many” for the remission of sins.” The “New Mass” changed “many” to “all” ; thus creating verbiage and doctrinal crisis because the false wording of “all “ for the orthodox “Many” allows for the ‘Bugnini Bombshell’ of Modernism in the Church and its heretical doctrine of meaning in essence, that Christ died and His most Precious Blood” was shed that ‘everyone will be saved’ from its efficacy---non-catholics, Protestants, or any religion, Christian or not!
This, of course, altering the word “many” for “all” gives credibility to the favorite Vatican II heretical teaching of the Antichrist that “outside the Church, there is salvation” which completely attacks the Perennial Teaching of 2000 years that “Outside the Church, there is no Salvation” or “Extra ecclesiam, Nulla Salvatio”! God save us!
---Canon Part II---(After Consecration of Bread and Wine into the Body and Blood Soul and Divinity of Jesus Christ)
The priest officiating now prays that his sacrifice be as “pure” as the Old Law Priest Melchisedech and Abel’s “worthy” offerings to God! Then, a prayerful inquiry to St. Michael the Archangel is then offered that all present praying may receive the fruits of this sacrifice unto eternal life! All this in the Tridentine Latin Mass of the Ages! Prayers for the faithful departed are included next by the priest and people to themselves. Lastly, the Canon ends with the Prayer to God Almighty for your sinful servant who hopes in the multitude of God’s Mercy to be included with the list of Saints mentioned viz. John, Stephen, Barnabas, John, Ignatius, Alexander, Marcellinus, Peter, Felicity, Perpetua, Agatha, Lucy, Agnes, Caecelia, Anastasia and all Saints, not because of our merits, but Pardoning our offences, we beg to be included with these Saints!
How Catholic this conclusion of the Canon with the prayers of Pardon for one’s sins and the officiating priest, which emphasizes that this Sacrifice is for sins and absolutely most efficacious because it is made “through Him (Jesus Christ) and with Him, and In Him in the unity of God the Father Almighty, , in the unity of the Holy Ghost, all honor and glory!”
What a perfect sacrificial prayer for sin in the Tridentine Latin Mass of the Ages, but again not a necessity to pray even in the Roman Canon for this Canon is a viable option for the Novus Ordo Priest of the “New Mass” and so virtually dropped from the “New Mass fiasco” of Vatican II and Paul VI!
How blatant the heretical conclusion of the “New Mass” and its Unsalvific Negligence in not offering to God the final prayers of the Canon for one’s sins, but a big praise banquet , Protestant style, of feel good religion, touchy-feelly liberal Catholicism of the Priest and people with the happy-clappy sensitivities of the down-home folks, playing their guitars and singing their great Amen, three times, oblivious of sin, both priest and people!
---Pater Noster---
After the Canon, the priest and people pray together the Our Father as taught us by Christ for forgiveness of sin and a firm purpose of amendment and not to be led into unnecessary temptations by our own proclivities from the world, flesh, and devil; but only if we fully repent can we be delivered from evil!
Once more here this most significant of Prayers of the Mass works for forgiveness of sins, if we avoid all the unnecessary occasions of sinning, by true Repentance in our hearts and souls!
---The Fractioning of the Host”
The priest then officiating prays that all the faithful present and He avoid all past, present, or future sins through the intercession of Mary, the ever Virgin and Mother of God, (doctrinal) and St. Andrew, St. Peter, and all the Saints and God’s Mercy! This beautiful prayer of detachment from all sin on our part by this prayer before receiving the Holy Eucharist---is prayed “through the same Lord Jesus Christ, Thy Son, Who liveth and reigneth with Three in the Unity of the Holy Ghost, God, World without end. Amen
This holy prayer of Perfect Contrition for all sinning on our part is only in the Tridentine Mass; proving once more the total and utter validity of this Mass as a “worthy sacrifice for sin” by priest and people, the Tridentine Mass of the Ages!!!
The priest and faithful end these post canonical prayers
Begging Almighty God, that it be efficacious to life everlasting!
----Agnus Dei---
“The Agnus Dei” prayers ensue, which beg God Almighty for forgiveness for our sins through Jesus Christ “Who takes away the sins of the world.” Three times this prayer is repeated!
After this, the three Communion Prayers are recited: the first, for the church and the Mystical Body of Christ, to give it Peace and Unity, according to God’s Will! This , of course, means not according to men’s will which “the Vatican II Church has totally made to be Man’s Church, not God’s! This is especially true with Antichrist Francis and what he is all about both pleasing and conforming to the world and not to God’s laws!
The Second Eucharistic Prayer is to Jesus Christ by Priest and People which begs God’s forgiveness from all our sins and evils, and prays to Him to keep the Commandments of God, and never be separated from Him, through the Most Holy Trinity “Who lives with the same God the Father, and the Holy Spirit, lives and reigns world without end. Amen
This penitential prayer for Pardon, Absolution and Remission of all sin and any attachment to it prevails always and only in the “Tridentine Latin Mass of the Ages”, again proving its Purity as “worthy sacrifice” for our sins, prayed by both Priest and People.
The Third and last Communion Prayer begs Almighty God that we not receive the Body and Blood of Christ, unworthily, for danger of “condemnation and judgment”, but by God’s Mercy be profitable to the safety and health of both Body and Soul! This holy prayer to Jesus Christ, concludes with a supplication to the most Holy Trinity, (doctrinal) “Who with God, the Father, in the Unity of the Holy Ghost, livest and reignest, God, world without end. Amen!”
Each one of these three Communion Prayers which are for proper prayerful disposition in preparation of soul by Priest and Faithful for reception of the Most Holy Eucharist,! These three holiest of prayers prove absolutely, how the “Tridentine Latin Mass of the Ages” is Sin Sacrifice! Where, in the Novus Ordo “New Mass” are any of these penitential prayers even slightly given credence to? Absolutely nowhere, nowhere, nowhere! This catapults the entire “Novus Ordo “New Mass” into a state of chaos, as to its utter validity and efficacy as “worthy sacrifice” to God for sin, no matter how sincere one’s intention during its unfolding may be!
To show once more the Tridentine Mass’s total efficacy for sin before one receives the precious Body and Blood of Christ, both the priest and the people pray one more “Confiteor” prayer for sin, to make up for any distractions during Mass and our attention to the Holy Sacrifice of Jesus Christ to His Father for our sins! This, again, with the Priest, who forgives sins for God in Confession (doctrine) prays to God that He forgive us and grant “pardon, absolution, and remission of our sins!”
Once more this holy Confiteor, as well as its wording, is totally absent from the infamous “Novus Ordo “New Mass”!
---The End of the Mass---
This first Absolution Prayer, manifestly shows a firm purpose of amendment, prayed by priest and people, as well as a true contrition for our sins and not to sin anymore, by both priest and people!
“Grant, O Lord, that what we have taken with our mouth, we may receive with a pure mind; and that from a temporal gift it may become for us an eternal remedy.”
The final propitiatory prayer for sin by priest and faithful is a most beautiful conclusion to these two Absolution Prayers by both priest and people:
“May Your Body, Lord, which I have received and Your Blood which I have drunk, cleave to my inmost parts, and grant that no stain of sin may remain in me, whom these pure and holy Sacraments have refreshed. Who live and reign, world without end. Amen.”
Therefore, any orthodox Roman Catholic, or any Catholic for that matter, can only believe in the Mass of the Ages, the Tridentine Latin Mass because it is a “worthy sin sacrifice” to God for sin , absolutely unlike the Protestant style ‘praise banquet service’ of the heretical Vatican II and Paul VI, himself, a mini-antichirst, who perpetrated and innovated it in 1965 when the Council ended!
Absolutely and conclusively one cannot RISK HIS IMMORTAL SOUL to such worldly conformity of the philosophy of the day for the last 60 years of “ I’m OK; you’re OK; no right, no wrong; no religion, no God; no heaven, no hell; and no judgment and no Judge.” Why? Because in the Novus Ordo ‘New Mass’, there is no sin to worry about, pray about, or repent from!!! In no way does this penitenial philosophy of the Tridentine Mass of the Ages prevail in this worldly theater of the “New Mass.”
Therefore, the “New Mass’ validity” crumbles before the unadultered Purity of Repentance for Sin as a “worthy sacrifice to God for Sin” as the Tridentine Mass of the Ages does, so efficaciously, so prudently, so profoundly!!!
In closing this explication of the Tridentine Mass of the Ages, which is a total “ truth bomb” to Francis the Antichrist who does not care an iota for, and who wants to Quash the so-called “ old Mass’ and has just dictated from the throne of Peter that “no priest can say this Traditional Mass anywhere in Rome and all the churches of its diocese any longer.”
Let us thank God for the Holy Priests who lived and taught the truths of the faith in spite of “Collar Fever”, such as Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen! Let us reflect on his holy words why “total repentance” of our sins is so absolutely necessary before we die! Contemplate these holy words of Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen:
“What we all have to realize is that when we sin, we turn our back on God. He does not turn His back on us. If we are ever to see His face again, we must turn around, that isk, turn from sin. That is what is meant by conversion. “Turn ye to me, saith the Lord of hosts.” (Zech. 1:3)
“God cannot save us without that conversion, if we die in our unrepentant sin, we are forever turned away from God. Where the tree falls, there it lies. (see Eccles. 11:3).There is no reversal of values after death.
We cannot love sin during life and begin to loves virtue at death. The joys of heaven are the continuance of the Christlike joys of earth. We do not develop a new set of loves with our last breath. We shall reap in eternity only what we sowed on earth. If we loved sin, we shall reap corruption; but we shall never gather grapes from thistles.
The justice of God is not separable from His goodness. If He were not just, He would not be good. Because He is goodness, His justice pardons; because He is justice, His goodness expiates. The thief on the right saw the need of justice the moment he admitted, “We suffer justly”; that is why immediately he felt the response of Goodness: “ This day thou shalt be with Me in Paradise.”
Then let not our presuming moderns who pile sin on sin think that they can insult God until their lease on life has run out and then expect an eternal lease on one of the Father’s mansions. Did He who went to leaven by a Cross intend that you should go there by sinning!”
“May the darkness of sin and the night of heathenism vanish before the Light of the Word and the Spirit of Grace. And may the Heart of Jesus live in the hearts of men, now and forever. Amen. “
J. Hughes Dunphy
“Eternal Father, we offer Thee the Body and Blood and Soul and Divinity of Our Lord Jesus Christ in all the tabernacles of the world in reparation for the sins of blasphemy, sacrilege, unworthy Communions, lack of faith, hope, and charity, closing of tabernacles, removal of kneelers, moving of tabernacles and the abomination of Communion in the Hand! And the infinite egregious sins against the Holy Sacrifice of the Tridentine Mass in the last sixty years by Popes, Bishops, Priests and People be forgiven! And may the most Sacred Heart of Jesus and Mary forgive us our sins!
This translates to their consummate fear of standing up for the orthodox perennial truths of the Catholic faith for centuries because of their fear of losing their desired ecclesiastical position of their priesthood and their prestige, clerical affluence of the easy life. Ultimately, the perennial truths of the Catholic faith, especially today the traditional Mass of the ages, the august Tridentine Mass , are unimportant along with enforcing no Communion in the hand, and not teaching of Sin and with it the need for the faithful to practice frequent Confession.
This is the doctrine of Francis the Antichrist and all paid for clerics with their enviable worldly positions of living the high life in their rectories and Catholic Universities and who adamantly and satanically refuse to teach Sin and the world’s consummation and love of it.
And how does he do this Antichrist Francis and Collar Fever priests and bishops of the day? The Fathers of the Church emphasize the corruption of the liturgy that will prevail at the last days!!! As the end draws nearer and nearer, the Church will be subjected to a fiercer, more diabolical persecution than any previously suffered. There will be a cessation of all religious worship. “They shall take away the daily sacrifice.” Some Fathers interpret these words to mean that the Antichrist and his sychophantic minions will suppress for three and a half years all public religious worship. Others remind us that the Antechrist will set up his throne within the Temple of God and demand worship of himself from his depraved followers. This is to quote Fr. Vincent Miceli and his Masterpiece on the “Antichrist” and further we quote the “Antichrist” which also states unequivocally:
“Unfortunately, it has happened in our day; the liturgy ( New Mass of Vatican II) is a sign of contradiction among Christians today; for the Holy Mass (tridentine) that once united Christians now, with the new liturgy, fiercely divides Christians. Many Catholics, because of the dilution of the sacred in the New liturgy, and the breezy manner in which many radical priests celebrate it, cannot attend such liturgies; for they find it morally impossible to have to endure the desacralized antics allowed by the liturgical storm troopers. Hence they stay way!!! Thus we see that, over and above the persecution of blood and death, there is even today a persecution of craftiness and subversion. (of suppressing Traditional Tridentine Mass of Ages). The precursors of the Man of Sin are very effective in splitting up and dividing Christians or Catholics. They are successful in dislodging many from the rock of salvation, in driving many into heresy and schism, depriving them of their Christian liberty, strength, peace and their household in Christ.”
With the current pandemic of COLLAR FEVER (FEAR OF LOSING THEIR POSITION AS PRIESTS AND BISHOPS) there is no difficulty of Diabolical Liberalism of Vatican II, and the New Mass, along with Ecumenism which has won its day with dictator Francis the Antichrist, and will continue to do so. God forbid the loss of souls underway now at the behest of Francis, the Antichrist and his pusillanimous legions of priests and bishops and even faithful!!!!
Witness the Francis antichrist doctrine and all priests with COLLAR FEVER!!! When we speak of the Antichrist and liberal priests and the Francis doctrine as enemies of our salvation, we mean godless men who live in and accommodate the world. It is of such that the Evangelist speaks, when he says “the world knew Him not: (John, I. 10 ) And again: “If the world hate you, know you that it hath hated Me before you: (John, xv. 18). And “wonder not brethren, if the world hate you: ( 1 John iii, 13), for “ the whole world is steeped in wickedness: (1 John, v. 19), and “all that is in the world is the concupiscence of the flesh, and concupiscence of the eyes, and the pride of life.” (1 John, 11. 16).
The majority of men live a worldly life. Their outlook is confined to this world. Their desires are centered on the things of this world. They ignore God and the teaching of Jesus Christ. They have bodies, and, their bodies being chiefly in evidence, they give the chief care to their bodies, gratifying their every sense and bodily appetite. They see round about them material things. They aim at independence, power, wealth, reputation. ( Collar Fever of Clerics afraid to lose their position from the antichrist Francis , the antichrist dictator!!!)
Thus the faithful and clerics are nothing more than intellectual animals. They have no use for self-denial, mortification, detachment, humility, chastity, all the tools of sanctity and the Cross of Jesus Christ.
They are jovial companions among their own class. They are such as we may conjecture the pagan poet Horace to have been. He had his town house and his country villa; his villa urbana and villa rustica. He kept a good table, the affluence of society today with both clerics and faithful. They are rarely without the choicest alcoholic beverages both wines and liquors and even mind altering pschotropic drugs, marijuana, and other such narcotic drugs, thus giving full vent to the HEDONISM of the DAY and indulging the boy and all its lusts!!!
Many of the worldly today, including clerics and faithful, are well educate, witty, and popular among their own. They easily succumb to their powerful liberal patrons, both politicians and the wealthy elite of the extreme LEFT. How barbarous would the Gospel truths seem to the Horaces of the world and the roman empire after looking at his wonderful elegant odes in all their different meters!!! What folly the Gospel teaching would seem to these with its insistence on RENUNCIATION, MEEKNESS, CHASTITY, LOVE OF ALL MEN, JOYfUll IN SUFFERING! What a complete reversal of all the worldly philosophy of the day it would seem to be, as indeed it is!!!
The number of Horaces and worldy in all ages is legion. They are men and women of no religion, and of all religions. They are found among Catholics too---those Catholic priest with COLLAR FEVER and faithful who do not take their religion seriously. This worldly philosophy of accomodating the world is everywhere and encouraged everywhere by its demon advocate Francis the Antichrist!!!
This worldly philosophy is everywhere. It is an atmosphere in which we live. It comes to be taken for granted. There are very few who are untainted by it. To prevent ourselves, orthodox Roman Catholics, from being saturated by it, we have to be continually reacting against it. We must make ourselves familiar with the opposite philosophy—the philosophy of the Gospel. We must see how the philosophy of the Gospel is translated into action by reading the LIVES OF THE SAINTS, and noting the examples of good men. We must pray to be delivered from this WORLDLY SPIRIT, and we must cherish our spirit of adoption, “for whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world” (1 John, v. 4).
“Our Hope Is In Jesus Christ”
My dear readers, our enemies without may be strong, and our enemies within may be treacherous and many. But are we men of good will? Do we wish to fight for Christ? If we are willing to fight for Christ against the enemies of our salvation, then we must engage in the lifelong combat of the Cross with certain hope of victory.
Our Lord Jesus Christ teaches us how to resist temptation. There is not a passion within us that cannot be overcome by His grace. And His graces are given in a never-ending stream to those who ask. “ I can do all things in Him who strengtheneth me” (Phil, iv. 13). And how He encourages us in the struggle: “To him that shall overcome I will give to sit with Me in My throne: (Apoc. Iii. 21). “He shall be clothed in white garments, and I will not blot out his name from the book of life, and I will confess his name before My Father and before His angels” (Apoc, iii. 5).
Further He tells us that our combat is His combat: “In the world you shall have distress: but have confidence, I have overcome the world” (John, xvi. 23). And Satan---the old serpent, the devil, the prince of this world, is already judged and cast out. His proud head is forever crushed beneath the heel of a little maiden, THE IMMACULATE MOTHER OF GOD.
And she loves us with a strong constant, tender love which has no equal outside the Sacred Heart of Our Lord.
Remember May’s words, the Mother of God:
“I am the Mother of fair love, of knowledge, of fear and of holy hope; “In Me is all Grace of the Way and the Truth; In Me is all hope of life and virtue!!!
Pray devoutly with the Mother of God for her to crush the head of the Serpent, everywhere, especially in the Roman Catholic faith!!!!!!
“Defense of the Tridentine Mass”
It is time to defend the most holy Trdentine Mass of the Ages in reminiscing with David’s Prayers and the Psalms and his words: “Offer worthy sacrifice to God and do not worry.” The whole problem with the “New Mass” is it is not an orthodox Roman Catholic sacrifice to God for sin but caters to the folly that there is no absolute truths of the faith that need defending anymore in the liturgy !!! Above all the so-called sacrifice of the Mass offered to God in the “New Mass” fails to teach the absolute truth of “repentance for sin” that is so necessary for each soul for salvation. This is because it does not offer “worthy sacrifice to God for sin” as King David in the Old Law saw so necessary. The priest in the Novus Ordo “ New Mass” can, Protestant style, offer any kind of Mass he wants, oblivious to the absolute catechetical truth of teaching “repentance for sin” to save one’s immortal soul. Even the so-called Roman Canon fails miserably to be orthodox Roman Catholic worship to God “in repentance for sin” because it does not follow the centuries old rubrics of the Tridentine Latin Mass. It is not in Latin, the priest does not wear Roman vestments, nor is the altar facing East, nor does the priest follow the traditional gestures of the Roman Canon in humble worship!!! Only the traditional Latin Tridentine Mass does this so truly and so perfectly in offering “worthy sacrifice” to God for our sins!
What is worthy sacrifice to God , the Novus Ordo “New Mass” that ignores sin and our culpability which allows the priest to choose the Mass prayers he wants or the absolutely “orthodox Roman Catholic Tridentine Mass” which everywhere in its supplications and prayers of the priest and people strives to repent for all sin?
Let us examine clearly the fulfillment of David’s words to offer “worthy sacrifice”; from the foot of the altar, the priest prays a worthy “Confiteor” to confess his sins , then a second time this prayer is made by the servers and people for forgiveness for their sins. Then most important of all, the priest of the Tridentine Mass only, not in the “New Mass”, asks God through his powers to forgive sins, to grant him and the people, “Pardon, Absolution, and Remission of their sins.” So important a prayer to God for proper sacrifice to Him for our sins.
Asking God and my brothers and sisters to forgive sin is extremely misleading to the faithful as only God alone forgives sins. Unmitigating the priest’s exlcusive power to forgive sins in God’s place is the correct orthodoxy of Catholicism for 2000 years of the Mass, as a holy sacrifice of Jesus Christ for our sins!
The “Confiteor” of the Traditional Lain Mass does not pray to your brothers and sisters but begs God’s forgiveness through the hands of Mary, St. Michael, John the Baptist, St. Peter and Paul and all the Saints to intercede to God for us, for our sins! An entirely different prayer than the Novus Ordo “New Mass”.
The Priest officiating in full Roman Vestments rises up the steps of the altar with his back always towards the faithful attending Mass , begging that he present himself and the people before God Almighty with a “pure heart”; again deleted by the Protestant and modernist “Novus Ordo , New Mass”! And as the priest continues to step up to the altar he begs God Almighty that “by the merits of the Saints whose relics are here, and of all the Saints, that Thou would vouchsafe to forgive me all my sins.” A very, very Catholic prayer, referencing the holy relics in every altar and its saintly relics to beg further pardon for our sins, and quite often the relics are of St. Joseph, the Blessed Virgin or some other significant saint; again, absolutely missing from the non-salvific Protestant Novus Ordo New Mass, in order to not “offend” other religions like the Protestants and non-catholics who do not believe in Catholic Saints!
Next, the priest and the people ask further pardon for their sins by praying the “Kyrie, kyrie, kyrie” or “Lord have mercy, lord have mercy, lord have mercy!” This prayer is effective if and only if it comes from a “contrite and humble heart” which always evokes true sorrow for sin and arises and comes from true compunction of heart! As anyone who reads the Psalms, written by King David, knows that Almighty God only forgives sin from such a holy attitude, clearly explained in Psalm 50 or the famous “Miserere Psalm”. God forgives no sin if it does not emanate from such a “contrite and humble heart”. Even the “Gloria” of the Mass, surprisingly is a prayer in praise of God’s Glory and is so supplicating of God’s mercy for forgiveness of our sins in its aspirations, again and again! “Lord Jesus Christ Who takes away the sins of the world , have mercy on us and hear our prayer!”
Following this, the Priest during the Offertory of the Mass asks God’s pardon for his sins and the people by praying to Almighty God, to receive this stainless host, which I, thine unworthy servant offer to Thee, my God, living and true, for mine “innumerable sins, offenses, and negligences, and for all here present; as also for all faithful Christians, living and dead.”
Again, this proper and prayerful true compunction of heart is not at all present or required in the “Novus Ordo”, New Mass, the Unsalvific “New Mass” from Vatican II and Pope Paul VI---the most disastrous and heretical Council of the Church in 2000 years! God forbid!
Then the officiating priest of the Tridentine Mass begs God at the Offertory “to forgive his sins and all those present by “washing his hands among the innocent” and then he will continue “worthy” sacrifice at God’s altar. And in this same prayer from Psalm XXV of the Mass and with true contrition for his sins asks God to “not take away my soul with the wicked and with further “firm purpose of amendment for his sins and those of the people present prays, and assures God Almighty that “his feet have stood in the right way; in the Churches will he bless Thee, O Lord.” How profound sacrifice, asking forgiveness for sin; once more not at all present in the “unsalvific Novus Ordo Mass” which fails totally to do this or make mandatory in its prayers!
Following the Offertory prayers of “purification” of the priest’s hands and soul and the peoples comes the “ Suscipe Sancta Trinitas” prayer to the most Holy Trinity, an essential Catholic doctrine, begging Him to make this sacrifice for sin be efficacious because it recalls the “Passion, Resurrection, and Ascension” of Jesus Christ in His honor, and also ( again very Catholic} of Mary, always a Virgin and John the Baptist and the holy apostles, Peter and Paul with all the saints (very Catholic) be profitable for their honor and to the salvation of the priest officiating and all the faithful only because all the holy saints and the most Holy Trinity, shall intercede for the Salvation of the priest and the faithful in attendance!”
Can you understand why this, one of the holiest of prayers in the Tridentine Latin Mass to beg Almighty God for forgiveness and Mercy from our sins in a “worthy sacrifice” for sin was extracted from the Protestant Novus Ordo “New Mass” of Paul VI and Vatican II?
Again, to make it more amenable to the Liberal and heretical Cardinals and Bishops of Vatican II and not in accordance to the rubrics of the Perennial Mass of the Ages, the most holy Tridentine Mass; established as “sacrosanct forever” by Pope Pius V in the 16th century, along with his “anathema” for everyone who in his reign or thereafter, alter “a single word or rubric”---which Vatican II and the “New Mass crowd” of the Pope Paul VI and his main facilitator and most feckless , A. Bugnini totally ignored!
Let us continue to clarify the “Unsalvific Nature or Sins” of the Novus Ordo fiasco with the Canon Prayers of the Tridentine Mass with the Preface Prayers to the Holy Trinity which exactly begs to “thank” the One God in Three divine persons correctly and which states in the prayer of “thanks” in confessing the true and eternal Godhead, “ discretion in powers, unity in essence and equality in majesty, may be adored.” Once more not a necessity and virtually lacking in any of the common preface prayers, created by Paul VI’s Mass in the 1960’s and A. Bugnini’s theatrics!
Then the angels, Cherubim and Seraphim are implored, angels and archangels alike, to pray with us the holy “Sanctus, Sanctus, Sanctus” prayer---one of the few places the “Novus Ordo Missae” did not deviate from the Mass of the Ages! Praise God Almighty!
-- The Canon—
The officiating priest then prays to Almighty God for the Church through the auspices of Jesus Christ (the most perfect High Priest” and Son of God and Lord) that He would bless this oblation, the holy unspotted Sacrifice for all “orthodox, Catholic and apostolic believers and teachers of whom the pope is assumed to be one himself and continuing, the officiating priest then prays for the “redemption of the souls of all faithful offering up this sacrifice for their souls and their redemption.”
This formula prayer in the Tridentine Latin Mass, has been eliminated virtually, from the Novus ordo and the next lengthy prayer, likewise, to Mary, the Virgin and Mother of God ( both doctrinal) and a list of the Saints, mainly apostles and first popes, to intercede in heaven for the priest and faithful at Mass through Christ the Lord!
And, then, closing the prayers of the first part of the Canon of the Mass is the “Hanc Igitur” prayer asking God Almighty to make this sacrifice efficacious for the priest and faithful to keep their souls in Peace, and secure from Eternal damnation and to be numbered part of the “saved or elect”.
---Institution of Christ’s Real Presence”
Undoubtedly, one of the most deleterious, heretical and abominable and blasphemous acts of the “New Mass” was tinkering and arrogantly assaulting Christ’s own words: “This is the chalice of My blood of the New and Eternal Testament: the Mystery of Faith; which shall be shed for “you” and for “many” for the remission of sins.” The “New Mass” changed “many” to “all” ; thus creating verbiage and doctrinal crisis because the false wording of “all “ for the orthodox “Many” allows for the ‘Bugnini Bombshell’ of Modernism in the Church and its heretical doctrine of meaning in essence, that Christ died and His most Precious Blood” was shed that ‘everyone will be saved’ from its efficacy---non-catholics, Protestants, or any religion, Christian or not!
This, of course, altering the word “many” for “all” gives credibility to the favorite Vatican II heretical teaching of the Antichrist that “outside the Church, there is salvation” which completely attacks the Perennial Teaching of 2000 years that “Outside the Church, there is no Salvation” or “Extra ecclesiam, Nulla Salvatio”! God save us!
---Canon Part II---(After Consecration of Bread and Wine into the Body and Blood Soul and Divinity of Jesus Christ)
The priest officiating now prays that his sacrifice be as “pure” as the Old Law Priest Melchisedech and Abel’s “worthy” offerings to God! Then, a prayerful inquiry to St. Michael the Archangel is then offered that all present praying may receive the fruits of this sacrifice unto eternal life! All this in the Tridentine Latin Mass of the Ages! Prayers for the faithful departed are included next by the priest and people to themselves. Lastly, the Canon ends with the Prayer to God Almighty for your sinful servant who hopes in the multitude of God’s Mercy to be included with the list of Saints mentioned viz. John, Stephen, Barnabas, John, Ignatius, Alexander, Marcellinus, Peter, Felicity, Perpetua, Agatha, Lucy, Agnes, Caecelia, Anastasia and all Saints, not because of our merits, but Pardoning our offences, we beg to be included with these Saints!
How Catholic this conclusion of the Canon with the prayers of Pardon for one’s sins and the officiating priest, which emphasizes that this Sacrifice is for sins and absolutely most efficacious because it is made “through Him (Jesus Christ) and with Him, and In Him in the unity of God the Father Almighty, , in the unity of the Holy Ghost, all honor and glory!”
What a perfect sacrificial prayer for sin in the Tridentine Latin Mass of the Ages, but again not a necessity to pray even in the Roman Canon for this Canon is a viable option for the Novus Ordo Priest of the “New Mass” and so virtually dropped from the “New Mass fiasco” of Vatican II and Paul VI!
How blatant the heretical conclusion of the “New Mass” and its Unsalvific Negligence in not offering to God the final prayers of the Canon for one’s sins, but a big praise banquet , Protestant style, of feel good religion, touchy-feelly liberal Catholicism of the Priest and people with the happy-clappy sensitivities of the down-home folks, playing their guitars and singing their great Amen, three times, oblivious of sin, both priest and people!
---Pater Noster---
After the Canon, the priest and people pray together the Our Father as taught us by Christ for forgiveness of sin and a firm purpose of amendment and not to be led into unnecessary temptations by our own proclivities from the world, flesh, and devil; but only if we fully repent can we be delivered from evil!
Once more here this most significant of Prayers of the Mass works for forgiveness of sins, if we avoid all the unnecessary occasions of sinning, by true Repentance in our hearts and souls!
---The Fractioning of the Host”
The priest then officiating prays that all the faithful present and He avoid all past, present, or future sins through the intercession of Mary, the ever Virgin and Mother of God, (doctrinal) and St. Andrew, St. Peter, and all the Saints and God’s Mercy! This beautiful prayer of detachment from all sin on our part by this prayer before receiving the Holy Eucharist---is prayed “through the same Lord Jesus Christ, Thy Son, Who liveth and reigneth with Three in the Unity of the Holy Ghost, God, World without end. Amen
This holy prayer of Perfect Contrition for all sinning on our part is only in the Tridentine Mass; proving once more the total and utter validity of this Mass as a “worthy sacrifice for sin” by priest and people, the Tridentine Mass of the Ages!!!
The priest and faithful end these post canonical prayers
Begging Almighty God, that it be efficacious to life everlasting!
----Agnus Dei---
“The Agnus Dei” prayers ensue, which beg God Almighty for forgiveness for our sins through Jesus Christ “Who takes away the sins of the world.” Three times this prayer is repeated!
After this, the three Communion Prayers are recited: the first, for the church and the Mystical Body of Christ, to give it Peace and Unity, according to God’s Will! This , of course, means not according to men’s will which “the Vatican II Church has totally made to be Man’s Church, not God’s! This is especially true with Antichrist Francis and what he is all about both pleasing and conforming to the world and not to God’s laws!
The Second Eucharistic Prayer is to Jesus Christ by Priest and People which begs God’s forgiveness from all our sins and evils, and prays to Him to keep the Commandments of God, and never be separated from Him, through the Most Holy Trinity “Who lives with the same God the Father, and the Holy Spirit, lives and reigns world without end. Amen
This penitential prayer for Pardon, Absolution and Remission of all sin and any attachment to it prevails always and only in the “Tridentine Latin Mass of the Ages”, again proving its Purity as “worthy sacrifice” for our sins, prayed by both Priest and People.
The Third and last Communion Prayer begs Almighty God that we not receive the Body and Blood of Christ, unworthily, for danger of “condemnation and judgment”, but by God’s Mercy be profitable to the safety and health of both Body and Soul! This holy prayer to Jesus Christ, concludes with a supplication to the most Holy Trinity, (doctrinal) “Who with God, the Father, in the Unity of the Holy Ghost, livest and reignest, God, world without end. Amen!”
Each one of these three Communion Prayers which are for proper prayerful disposition in preparation of soul by Priest and Faithful for reception of the Most Holy Eucharist,! These three holiest of prayers prove absolutely, how the “Tridentine Latin Mass of the Ages” is Sin Sacrifice! Where, in the Novus Ordo “New Mass” are any of these penitential prayers even slightly given credence to? Absolutely nowhere, nowhere, nowhere! This catapults the entire “Novus Ordo “New Mass” into a state of chaos, as to its utter validity and efficacy as “worthy sacrifice” to God for sin, no matter how sincere one’s intention during its unfolding may be!
To show once more the Tridentine Mass’s total efficacy for sin before one receives the precious Body and Blood of Christ, both the priest and the people pray one more “Confiteor” prayer for sin, to make up for any distractions during Mass and our attention to the Holy Sacrifice of Jesus Christ to His Father for our sins! This, again, with the Priest, who forgives sins for God in Confession (doctrine) prays to God that He forgive us and grant “pardon, absolution, and remission of our sins!”
Once more this holy Confiteor, as well as its wording, is totally absent from the infamous “Novus Ordo “New Mass”!
---The End of the Mass---
This first Absolution Prayer, manifestly shows a firm purpose of amendment, prayed by priest and people, as well as a true contrition for our sins and not to sin anymore, by both priest and people!
“Grant, O Lord, that what we have taken with our mouth, we may receive with a pure mind; and that from a temporal gift it may become for us an eternal remedy.”
The final propitiatory prayer for sin by priest and faithful is a most beautiful conclusion to these two Absolution Prayers by both priest and people:
“May Your Body, Lord, which I have received and Your Blood which I have drunk, cleave to my inmost parts, and grant that no stain of sin may remain in me, whom these pure and holy Sacraments have refreshed. Who live and reign, world without end. Amen.”
Therefore, any orthodox Roman Catholic, or any Catholic for that matter, can only believe in the Mass of the Ages, the Tridentine Latin Mass because it is a “worthy sin sacrifice” to God for sin , absolutely unlike the Protestant style ‘praise banquet service’ of the heretical Vatican II and Paul VI, himself, a mini-antichirst, who perpetrated and innovated it in 1965 when the Council ended!
Absolutely and conclusively one cannot RISK HIS IMMORTAL SOUL to such worldly conformity of the philosophy of the day for the last 60 years of “ I’m OK; you’re OK; no right, no wrong; no religion, no God; no heaven, no hell; and no judgment and no Judge.” Why? Because in the Novus Ordo ‘New Mass’, there is no sin to worry about, pray about, or repent from!!! In no way does this penitenial philosophy of the Tridentine Mass of the Ages prevail in this worldly theater of the “New Mass.”
Therefore, the “New Mass’ validity” crumbles before the unadultered Purity of Repentance for Sin as a “worthy sacrifice to God for Sin” as the Tridentine Mass of the Ages does, so efficaciously, so prudently, so profoundly!!!
In closing this explication of the Tridentine Mass of the Ages, which is a total “ truth bomb” to Francis the Antichrist who does not care an iota for, and who wants to Quash the so-called “ old Mass’ and has just dictated from the throne of Peter that “no priest can say this Traditional Mass anywhere in Rome and all the churches of its diocese any longer.”
Let us thank God for the Holy Priests who lived and taught the truths of the faith in spite of “Collar Fever”, such as Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen! Let us reflect on his holy words why “total repentance” of our sins is so absolutely necessary before we die! Contemplate these holy words of Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen:
“What we all have to realize is that when we sin, we turn our back on God. He does not turn His back on us. If we are ever to see His face again, we must turn around, that isk, turn from sin. That is what is meant by conversion. “Turn ye to me, saith the Lord of hosts.” (Zech. 1:3)
“God cannot save us without that conversion, if we die in our unrepentant sin, we are forever turned away from God. Where the tree falls, there it lies. (see Eccles. 11:3).There is no reversal of values after death.
We cannot love sin during life and begin to loves virtue at death. The joys of heaven are the continuance of the Christlike joys of earth. We do not develop a new set of loves with our last breath. We shall reap in eternity only what we sowed on earth. If we loved sin, we shall reap corruption; but we shall never gather grapes from thistles.
The justice of God is not separable from His goodness. If He were not just, He would not be good. Because He is goodness, His justice pardons; because He is justice, His goodness expiates. The thief on the right saw the need of justice the moment he admitted, “We suffer justly”; that is why immediately he felt the response of Goodness: “ This day thou shalt be with Me in Paradise.”
Then let not our presuming moderns who pile sin on sin think that they can insult God until their lease on life has run out and then expect an eternal lease on one of the Father’s mansions. Did He who went to leaven by a Cross intend that you should go there by sinning!”
“May the darkness of sin and the night of heathenism vanish before the Light of the Word and the Spirit of Grace. And may the Heart of Jesus live in the hearts of men, now and forever. Amen. “
J. Hughes Dunphy
“Eternal Father, we offer Thee the Body and Blood and Soul and Divinity of Our Lord Jesus Christ in all the tabernacles of the world in reparation for the sins of blasphemy, sacrilege, unworthy Communions, lack of faith, hope, and charity, closing of tabernacles, removal of kneelers, moving of tabernacles and the abomination of Communion in the Hand! And the infinite egregious sins against the Holy Sacrifice of the Tridentine Mass in the last sixty years by Popes, Bishops, Priests and People be forgiven! And may the most Sacred Heart of Jesus and Mary forgive us our sins!

PHARISAICAL PRIESTS OF FALSE CHARITY AND THE NOVUS ORDO MISSAE
18/04/08 18:52 Filed in: False Charity
"Pharisaical Priests of False Charity" and the "Novus Ordo Missae"
Nothing so incensed Our Divine Savior like the pharisaical brand of religion which was obsessed with external realities only and had nothing to do with the inward conversion of hearts to holiness. Over and over again, Our Lord had to rebuke the pharisees who wanted only the satanical bread of this world as opposed to the Bread of Eternal Life which Christ alone offered to mankind. By the same token, Satan offers only the false charity of the bread of this world to souls today; Christ Our Divine Savior has the everlasting spiritual Bread of eternal life, His Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity.
The necessary ingredient for souls to be led astray by satanical false charity is to be willing to make a sinister "exchange"-- like many Jews of Christ’s own day. What exchange? The exchange is the salvation of our souls. This is all that Satan ever craves if only we are willing to give up our souls--then we can have the enticing bread of this world when we make the easy exchange of false charity. To accomplish this exchange one must only imitate or cooperate with the pharisaical teachers of false charity who are the apostles of ‘lovism’ that have long ago abandoned the ‘truth’ of Christ’s Word for the prosperity modernist gospel of feel-good religion.
Like Judas, the pharisees’ lovism sought the exterior approval of the world so they looked good, felt good, and were praised by their synagogue followers in Jesus’ day. They were the popular teachers in Jesus’ day. They were the popular teachers of the faith: they did everything to be seen, and sat down front at synagogues with their flamboyant robes of widened phylacteries and long fringes– to gain attention– and they loved the places of honor at feasts. Most important of all to these teachers of false charity and lovism was the secular world of the market place, for they loved to be called ‘rabbi’.
"Holy Detachment"
A good test to see if one is personally following this false charity of pharisaical lovism and loving inordinately the things of this world is to examine how attached one is to the ‘bread’ of this world. A great prophet of Catholic truth who fought steadfastly and bravely with every bit of his energy against the notion of worldly priests and who gave many a retreat to priests and religious throughout his entire life was the Jesuit priest Father John A. Hardon. Father John Hardon taught ‘detachment’ as the number one virtue of sanctity for priests and religious. Moreover, Fr. John Hardon was the spiritual director of Mother Theresa of Calcutta’s Sisters of Charity. Father Hardon adamantly taught about the virtue of charity, true charity, over and over to these holy sisters of Mother Theresa’s religious order who have practiced this holiest of virtues in their religious order since its very inception.
How can one tell if one is too attached to the false loves of this world or not: simply ask yourself if you are thoroughly detached from the things of this world. And if one is too attached to the things of this world then he is full of false charity and exactly like the Rich Man in the New Testament who walked away from Christ when Our Lord asked him to give up everything he possessed and come follow Him if he wished to be perfect. When Father John Hardon was asked whether this Rich Young Man in the gospels was saved in his opinion, Father Hardon said he believed the Rich Young Man was lost because of his excessive attachments to the things of this world– his money and all his possessions, for he went away sad when Christ told him to give up everything.
Father Hardon once pointed out in one of his lessons on detachment that what causes Catholic bishops and priests to apostasize on their Catholic faith is excessive attachment to the things of this world: sexual gratification, pride of self worth, clerical envy for power in the Church and notoriety, and money. Furthermore, Fr. John Hardon, made it known that bishops in the United States are literally worth millions and millions of dollars. Why? Because they are the sole owners of whole dioceses, legally. And nobody else!
When Father John Hardon was asked what he meant by detachment, he taught the following truth which he repeated again and again in the multitude of books he wrote on Catholic theology: "By detachment I mean, you must be detached from everything in this world. And when I say from everything, I mean from everything, from everything, from everything."
Finally, Fr. Hardon taught that Our Lord wants us all to be rich, but only with the things that are spiritual, celestial, and eternal. And especially is this true of those in the clerical life of the priesthood and the religious life. Everything else is simply useless according to Fr. Hardon. St. Paul reiterates this very same truth rather strongly in Corinthians: "For Jesus Christ my Lord; I have suffered the loss of all things, and count them but as rubbish." To Father Hardon all the things that one possesses have no value whatsoever unless they bring us safely to heaven.
From Our Lord’s own words about the Rich Young Man, He teaches that wealth and riches are eternally deleterious to our souls and our heavenly salvation if they are not used for our eternal happiness and reaching heaven. His prophetically powerful words bear this out: "How difficult it is for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven."
Our Lord emphasizes that we ought to build up treasures for the Kingdom of Heaven: "Fear not, little flock, for it hath pleased your Father to give you a kingdom. Sell what you possess and give alms. Make to yourselves bags which grow not old, but a treasure in heaven which faileth not: where no thief approacheth, nor moth corrupteth." In other words we need to be totally detached from all the pleasures and possessions and honors that the world holds dear if we truly wish to reach heaven. Then we can be internally detached.
What exactly was Our Divine Teacher calling the Rich Young Man to become if he were to leave all his money and possessions and come after Jesus and follow Him? Why he was begging him to become a priest, for isn’t that the life of the holy priest to become totally detached from the wealth and riches of this world? And Our Lord wanted this Rich Young Man to come and follow Him. To follow Christ totally and completely is to become saintly. And to become saintly oneself as well as one who helps others become saintly, is this not truly the vocation of a holy priest?
"Thirty Pieces of Silver"
How important is becoming holy to modern day Catholics or even to today’s priests? How interested are priests and people in the false charity of pharisaical ‘lovism’ which would much rather trade one’s soul for the bread of this world and the thirty pieces of silver of Judas Priest?
So many Americans today, and so many Catholic priests and bishops, seek the false bread of false charity offered by Satan to the world and not the heavenly bread which Our Lord offered mankind. Truly the social gospel dominates most of parish life today with expensive activity buildings being constructed to lure all the parishoners into expanding the church’s "bread of this world" by fund raisers, finance committees, and beauracries layered as high as the church steeple to plan and man all these financial enterprises. Much more time and effort is spent on renovating churches, building activity buildings, going on trips, participating in interfaith ecumenical prayer socials, building church image and community than on actual worship, devotions, and a serious saintly prayer life together that is cemented upon the solid pillars of Roman Catholic orthodoxy and catechetics. And who is the social engineer of all this socializing and making money and who sits like a mini-monarch before his cabinet of the parish council but the parish pastor.
How many priests today are not listening to this heavenly truth of detachment as Our Lord preached it so many centuries ago, but still as relevant today as ever? Very, very few according to Father John Hardon who said often about the numbers of those saved in his lectures--virtually all of the Fathers of the Church agreed that ‘most of those living in any age will be lost’ (which includes priests). These are, indeed, grim statistics about those who will lose their souls for the serious sin of false charity and all of its false loves of this world. And Father Hardon reiterated this truth by pleading in his conferences: "Pray for priests, pray for priests, so many have lost their faith!"
To be serious about one’s soul and one’s personal holiness, according to Father John Hardon, one must tenaciously follow Christ and become holy by following Him in poverty of spirit as well as living like Jesus--who was literally born into poverty. This is especially true of priests who must vigorously follow Our Lord in true poverty of spirit through the holy counsels of poverty, chastity, and obedience to reach heaven. This cannot be done, according to Father Hardon, unless the priest be detached "from everything, from everything that this world holds dear." A key test to judge priestly holiness or that of the people is Fr. Hardon’s following yardstick: "To the degree that one is detached from the things of this world, to that degree is one holy."
So the pharisees, or the Jewish priestly cast like Judas Priest, entertain the pretense of a loving affection publicly for Christ and His Truth, but they hide within their human hearts a diabolical attachment to the things of this world for the thirty pieces of silver, therefore, they live the diabolical exchange for the bread of this world as opposed to the bread of heaven as is evidenced by their lives of false charity. There is absolutely no difference between the judas priests of the Jewish priestly cast and those in today’s modern Catholic Church. All judas priests preach the popular gospel of false charity, the prosperity gospel of today’s modern Catholic Church since Vatican II: a religion whose priests too often crave the world’s eye and approval, lack humility, are ostentatious, are prideful and arrogant about the existence of sin–especially sexual sin, dissemble about doctrine constantly, and finally have desacralized the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass to a Protestant praise banquet for everyone attending, be it priest presider or people.
What, above all, proves the false charity of all pharisaical priests whether ancient or modern? Truly Jesus’ own words: "Practice and observe whatever they tell you but not what they do." (Matt. 23:3) Thus these reprobate priests of today are obvious for their hypocrisy and their unwillingness to repent and love God: and so, they do not practice what they preach or even preach what one would hope they should practice; for a prideful and not prayerful priest with no contrite heart is as easy to detect today as a pharisaical priest in Christ’s Own Day. Christ, the Divine Teacher, so often rebuked the pharisees for their false teachings on love throughout His entire Public Life; and, no doubt, would have done the same today if He were here present. These false teachers of pharisaical lovism are, therefore, the paradigm of Judas Priest. Our Lord’s Own Words condemn this lifestyle of preaching and not practicing, the essence of Judas Priest: "They bind heavy burdens, hard to bear, and lay them on men’s shoulders; but they themselves will not move them with their finger." (Matt. 23:4) Certainly Our Lord deemed priests of false charity as most meager in their striving for holiness, if at all.
"Fr. Malachi Martin and Judas Priests"
Father Malachi Martin, a well known Catholic author and faithful priest to the end of his life and good friend of Father John Hardon, S.J. said he was able to sit down in the back of a Church and observe any Catholic priest at Mass and tell inside of a few minutes whether or not he was a faithful priest on the road to holiness.
How did he have such a perspicacious eye for judas priests--those who pretend and appear to be one of Christ’s chosen disciples but in reality seek only to betray him? In short, Father Malachi Martin sensed a faithful priest or a priest striving to be holy by his gestures and general demeanor at the altar of God. And what did he especially look for? He could tell if a priest was holy by whether or not he genuflected at all during Mass and secondly, the general reverence and devotion in the way a priest says Mass tells the rest of the story. These were telling signs to Father Malachi Martin, a very holy and faithful orthodox Roman Catholic priest himself.
"Mary Magdalen’s Perfect Act of Reverence"
We have seen how Satan tempted Christ to make this exchange of heavenly bread for earthly bread in his temptations of Christ, but Our Lord would not. We have also noticed how this same curse of exchanging the Bread of Heaven for the bread of this world fell upon Judas too--one of Christ’s own beloved twelve, in a very dramatic example recorded by the evangelist John.
Just before the passion of Our Divine Savior began, Jesus had assembled at the home of Lazarus and Mary where He celebrated one of His last meals with these intimate friends and His beloved twelve. Here the false charity in Judas the Priest’s heart came dramatically forward when Mary Magdalen used precious nard to anoint Jesus’ feet and dried them with her own hair, a deed of the purest, selfless charity towards Christ, giving off a most precious pungent odor that literally emanated through the entire house (John 12:3). This was, indeed, a very, very expensive commodity in the ancient world which was the cause celebre that Judas presumed was an extravagance of worship on Mary’s part; for the precious nard could have been sold for a good profit and the money then given to the poor, so said Judas Iscariot. This was a rich act of worship, the highest form of charity a human heart could offer to her God, scrimping not the least on what one possesses for a perfect act of self-surrender of everything to her God. This was an absolute act of supreme humility at the feet of Our Lord Jesus Christ, so evident in her supplicating person at her Lord’s feet, using her beautiful hair– the crowning beauty of any woman’s pride–as a towel of personal reverence to wipe Jesus’ feet. Mary slighted nothing in her most profound ritual of worship of her Lord and her God, utilizing the finest things of this world and the finest she had as a person.
Yet Judas pridefully and vehemently protested in typical pharisaical fashion against this ritualistic extravagance of worship on Mary’s part: "Why was this ointment not sold for three hundred denarii and given to the poor?" (John 12:5) This was a consummate lie on Judas’ part, related the most beloved apostle John who often leaned upon Our Divine Lord’s breast, for Judas cared not for the poor but kept the money box and often stole from it, so clarified John also. What an antithesis of good and evil in this scriptural passage between the prideful arrogance of one who sinfully preaches the false charity gospel of "less is more’ and another who cannot give enough to her Lord and God. Just like his betraying kiss of Christ Our Lord, we see here a glaring example of false charity against Mary’s humble offering of a totally unadulterated charitable assumption-presumption from her pure heart. What can be more beautiful than to observe this totally Catholic sense of adoration in Mary’s heart: by her loving presumption of God’s totality of love for her and us all, she seeks nothing for herself by this gesture but only how she can please her Lord and God in a veritable act of sacrificial and worshipful love. This is such an unparalleled example of true charity and false charity in contrast in Sacred Scripture.
This passage of Sacred Scripture casts another darksome shadow upon the heart of Christ’s betrayer, truly a follower of the pharisees and not of Christ, the epitomy of eternal charity and good will toward men; for Judas talked the ephemeral, plausible talk of the bread of this world, and not the Bread of Eternal Life. Why is this so?
Judas belittled openly Mary’s supreme act of charitable love of Christ, stating it would have been much better to sell the nard for profit and distribute this money to the poor. Does this not sound familiar today to the external undertakings of modernist Church types for many programs of social justice i.e. the peace movements against war, political movements against war, political movements of liberation theology, food pantries and soup kitchens, environmental and animal preservation rights, and global warming?
What Judas Iscariot, the traitor, advocates is to ignore the Bread of Eternal Life, Jesus Christ, and the reverence due Him for an inferior and external charity that only the world would acclaim great: great because it appears religious, just and good; but it is not really religious, just or good, without Christ. To lack the charitable assumption presumption of Mary’s pure love for Christ, as Judas clearly does here, by arguing that the charity of this world without Christ is sufficient is a classic example of false charity. But for Mary, charity without Christ is nothing less than a satanical exchange of the Bread of Heaven for the bread here below. How many souls are there today who starve for Christ’s Bread of Eternal Life, yet are surfeited on the satanical bread of this world?
Charity that does not begin at the feet of Christ and return there in humble worship and adoration is the totally meaningless politics of this world, striving for the diabolical wordly bread of Satan’s dominion. We cannot love our neighbor as ourselves if we do not love God with our whole mind and all our hearts’s strength as the beautiful sweet and tender love of Mary for Christ demonstrated at His feet, where we see the exhaltation of the sacred loving worship of God in the magnificent splendor of Mary. This can only mean the simultaneous burgeoning of charity in the real world for our fellow man, if one does not pursue pharisaical false charity of Judas the priest. Let us recall Christ’s words here: "You can do nothing without Me." (Mt. 15:5) And again: "The poor you will always have with you, but you do not always have Me." (John 12:3) So often doing something that is ostensibly good for others can fail because it is done without Christ and becomes, therefore, its own reward or the reward of self and not performed for the Glory of God. A soul bereft of the love of Christ and the high ritual of this love is a soul caught up in a heady altruism of this world that seeks its own glory in the bread of Satan: cognition, acceptance, approval and political correctness!
"False Charity and Novus Ordo Mass"
How dangerous the diminution of worship from the sacred, profound Presence of Almighty God to a pedestrian, egalitarian view of God as just another social worker who leads us all on a social worker mission to improve the world, whether for peace, liberation, or feeding the hungry of the world. This has been the popular scenario since Vatican II, social justice programs of all kinds. However, when they do not preach conversion to Christ in so many of these pie-in-the-sky church programs; they can quickly become exercises in political skulduggery with the winner getting the most money from the government for your organization’s pet social project.
We have watched the regal and stately worship in the Catholic Church of the 50's and 60's before Vatican II descend from the charitable assumption presumption of Christ’s sacrificial love to a worldly secularized lovism for neighbor as our goal of worship with endless declensions that falsify and profane our charity and love of God more and more: stripping the churches, dressing casually for Sunday Mass, discontinuing personal prayer books, turning the altars around to face the people, removing religious symbols, having the Mass in the vernacular and– most uncharitable of all–removing the tabernacle from the summit and center of all Catholic Churches, truly the false kiss of the false love of a Judas priest. If one doubts the perils of the Protestant social gospel in America and its deleterious affect on the Roman Catholic Church, consider only the diminution of all the Catholic moral issues of late in this land (fornication, divorce, abortion, and homosexuality and sterilization) and the adoption of these popular protestant causes so embracingly by the Church.
"False Charity & Catholic Education"
Finally, the Church is to educate the young; however, one no longer has to study the faith or become Catholic to attend a Catholic School these days. Catholic universities, Catholic high schools, and Catholic elementary schools in urban areas follow this doctrine of false charity. They appear to be doing good for their fellow man by educating them, but they believe love is charity without worshiping at Christ’s feet or teaching others to do this or even encouraging possible converts to do this anymore--because the satanical bread of worldly approval and recognition is much more desirable! The true charity of Mary and her love of Christ has so quickly become the secularized false charity of Judas Priest’s exterior false religion. Why?
False charity appears to be loving and caring for our neighbor and our God; however, false charity occurs so often apart from the ritual beauty and truth of the Catholic faith as Mary Magdalen’s sublime reverence at Christ’s Feet! We have, therefore, descended from the lofty supernatural high church ritual of Mary’s love before Vatican II to the pedestrian false love of humanism and the things of this world–the false charity of Judas Priest’s kiss.

Nothing so incensed Our Divine Savior like the pharisaical brand of religion which was obsessed with external realities only and had nothing to do with the inward conversion of hearts to holiness. Over and over again, Our Lord had to rebuke the pharisees who wanted only the satanical bread of this world as opposed to the Bread of Eternal Life which Christ alone offered to mankind. By the same token, Satan offers only the false charity of the bread of this world to souls today; Christ Our Divine Savior has the everlasting spiritual Bread of eternal life, His Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity.
The necessary ingredient for souls to be led astray by satanical false charity is to be willing to make a sinister "exchange"-- like many Jews of Christ’s own day. What exchange? The exchange is the salvation of our souls. This is all that Satan ever craves if only we are willing to give up our souls--then we can have the enticing bread of this world when we make the easy exchange of false charity. To accomplish this exchange one must only imitate or cooperate with the pharisaical teachers of false charity who are the apostles of ‘lovism’ that have long ago abandoned the ‘truth’ of Christ’s Word for the prosperity modernist gospel of feel-good religion.
Like Judas, the pharisees’ lovism sought the exterior approval of the world so they looked good, felt good, and were praised by their synagogue followers in Jesus’ day. They were the popular teachers in Jesus’ day. They were the popular teachers of the faith: they did everything to be seen, and sat down front at synagogues with their flamboyant robes of widened phylacteries and long fringes– to gain attention– and they loved the places of honor at feasts. Most important of all to these teachers of false charity and lovism was the secular world of the market place, for they loved to be called ‘rabbi’.
"Holy Detachment"
A good test to see if one is personally following this false charity of pharisaical lovism and loving inordinately the things of this world is to examine how attached one is to the ‘bread’ of this world. A great prophet of Catholic truth who fought steadfastly and bravely with every bit of his energy against the notion of worldly priests and who gave many a retreat to priests and religious throughout his entire life was the Jesuit priest Father John A. Hardon. Father John Hardon taught ‘detachment’ as the number one virtue of sanctity for priests and religious. Moreover, Fr. John Hardon was the spiritual director of Mother Theresa of Calcutta’s Sisters of Charity. Father Hardon adamantly taught about the virtue of charity, true charity, over and over to these holy sisters of Mother Theresa’s religious order who have practiced this holiest of virtues in their religious order since its very inception.
How can one tell if one is too attached to the false loves of this world or not: simply ask yourself if you are thoroughly detached from the things of this world. And if one is too attached to the things of this world then he is full of false charity and exactly like the Rich Man in the New Testament who walked away from Christ when Our Lord asked him to give up everything he possessed and come follow Him if he wished to be perfect. When Father John Hardon was asked whether this Rich Young Man in the gospels was saved in his opinion, Father Hardon said he believed the Rich Young Man was lost because of his excessive attachments to the things of this world– his money and all his possessions, for he went away sad when Christ told him to give up everything.
Father Hardon once pointed out in one of his lessons on detachment that what causes Catholic bishops and priests to apostasize on their Catholic faith is excessive attachment to the things of this world: sexual gratification, pride of self worth, clerical envy for power in the Church and notoriety, and money. Furthermore, Fr. John Hardon, made it known that bishops in the United States are literally worth millions and millions of dollars. Why? Because they are the sole owners of whole dioceses, legally. And nobody else!
When Father John Hardon was asked what he meant by detachment, he taught the following truth which he repeated again and again in the multitude of books he wrote on Catholic theology: "By detachment I mean, you must be detached from everything in this world. And when I say from everything, I mean from everything, from everything, from everything."
Finally, Fr. Hardon taught that Our Lord wants us all to be rich, but only with the things that are spiritual, celestial, and eternal. And especially is this true of those in the clerical life of the priesthood and the religious life. Everything else is simply useless according to Fr. Hardon. St. Paul reiterates this very same truth rather strongly in Corinthians: "For Jesus Christ my Lord; I have suffered the loss of all things, and count them but as rubbish." To Father Hardon all the things that one possesses have no value whatsoever unless they bring us safely to heaven.
From Our Lord’s own words about the Rich Young Man, He teaches that wealth and riches are eternally deleterious to our souls and our heavenly salvation if they are not used for our eternal happiness and reaching heaven. His prophetically powerful words bear this out: "How difficult it is for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven."
Our Lord emphasizes that we ought to build up treasures for the Kingdom of Heaven: "Fear not, little flock, for it hath pleased your Father to give you a kingdom. Sell what you possess and give alms. Make to yourselves bags which grow not old, but a treasure in heaven which faileth not: where no thief approacheth, nor moth corrupteth." In other words we need to be totally detached from all the pleasures and possessions and honors that the world holds dear if we truly wish to reach heaven. Then we can be internally detached.
What exactly was Our Divine Teacher calling the Rich Young Man to become if he were to leave all his money and possessions and come after Jesus and follow Him? Why he was begging him to become a priest, for isn’t that the life of the holy priest to become totally detached from the wealth and riches of this world? And Our Lord wanted this Rich Young Man to come and follow Him. To follow Christ totally and completely is to become saintly. And to become saintly oneself as well as one who helps others become saintly, is this not truly the vocation of a holy priest?
"Thirty Pieces of Silver"
How important is becoming holy to modern day Catholics or even to today’s priests? How interested are priests and people in the false charity of pharisaical ‘lovism’ which would much rather trade one’s soul for the bread of this world and the thirty pieces of silver of Judas Priest?
So many Americans today, and so many Catholic priests and bishops, seek the false bread of false charity offered by Satan to the world and not the heavenly bread which Our Lord offered mankind. Truly the social gospel dominates most of parish life today with expensive activity buildings being constructed to lure all the parishoners into expanding the church’s "bread of this world" by fund raisers, finance committees, and beauracries layered as high as the church steeple to plan and man all these financial enterprises. Much more time and effort is spent on renovating churches, building activity buildings, going on trips, participating in interfaith ecumenical prayer socials, building church image and community than on actual worship, devotions, and a serious saintly prayer life together that is cemented upon the solid pillars of Roman Catholic orthodoxy and catechetics. And who is the social engineer of all this socializing and making money and who sits like a mini-monarch before his cabinet of the parish council but the parish pastor.
How many priests today are not listening to this heavenly truth of detachment as Our Lord preached it so many centuries ago, but still as relevant today as ever? Very, very few according to Father John Hardon who said often about the numbers of those saved in his lectures--virtually all of the Fathers of the Church agreed that ‘most of those living in any age will be lost’ (which includes priests). These are, indeed, grim statistics about those who will lose their souls for the serious sin of false charity and all of its false loves of this world. And Father Hardon reiterated this truth by pleading in his conferences: "Pray for priests, pray for priests, so many have lost their faith!"
To be serious about one’s soul and one’s personal holiness, according to Father John Hardon, one must tenaciously follow Christ and become holy by following Him in poverty of spirit as well as living like Jesus--who was literally born into poverty. This is especially true of priests who must vigorously follow Our Lord in true poverty of spirit through the holy counsels of poverty, chastity, and obedience to reach heaven. This cannot be done, according to Father Hardon, unless the priest be detached "from everything, from everything that this world holds dear." A key test to judge priestly holiness or that of the people is Fr. Hardon’s following yardstick: "To the degree that one is detached from the things of this world, to that degree is one holy."

What, above all, proves the false charity of all pharisaical priests whether ancient or modern? Truly Jesus’ own words: "Practice and observe whatever they tell you but not what they do."

THE FINAL BETRAYAL OF JUDAS PRIEST: COMMUNION IN THE HAND AND THE NOVUS ORDO
16/01/08 20:40 Filed in: Communion in The hand
The final betrayal of Christ is seen when Judas dipped his unworthy hand into the chalice of Christ’s blood with a piece of the Bread of Life. This most audacious and outward betrayal of Judas Priest precipitated Christ’s most vehement condemnation in all of Sacred Scriptures: "Woe to the man by whom the Son of Man has been betrayed: it were better that he were not born." Then He said to Judas Iscariot: "Go and do what thou art about, quickly."
This was, above all, the very first excommunication condemnation. In short, Christ excommunicated Judas Iscariot from His very Presence. Secondly, Our Divine Lord uttered by His grave words what was then the very first anathema ever, with His ‘woe’ to Judas Priest: "Woe to the man by whom the Son of Man has been betrayed: it were better that he were not born." The naked turpitude of what Judas Priest was doing publicly, before the very eyes of His Divine Savior and the other eleven apostles, committing the sin of sacrilege by an unworthy communion, was forthright condemned by Our Lord for its wicked malevolence, the unworthy reception of Divine Innocence Itself while in the state of mortal sin.
This most morally corrupt of all of Judas Iscariot’s actions was a sacrilege of egregious proportions, for it contradicted virtually everything that Our Divine Lord and Savior had taught for His entire public life on earth and something so heavenly He had done also in the very presence of Judas.

This was, above all, the very first excommunication condemnation. In short, Christ excommunicated Judas Iscariot from His very Presence. Secondly, Our Divine Lord uttered by His grave words what was then the very first anathema ever, with His ‘woe’ to Judas Priest: "Woe to the man by whom the Son of Man has been betrayed: it were better that he were not born." The naked turpitude of what Judas Priest was doing publicly, before the very eyes of His Divine Savior and the other eleven apostles, committing the sin of sacrilege by an unworthy communion, was forthright condemned by Our Lord for its wicked malevolence, the unworthy reception of Divine Innocence Itself while in the state of mortal sin.
This most morally corrupt of all of Judas Iscariot’s actions was a sacrilege of egregious proportions, for it contradicted virtually everything that Our Divine Lord and Savior had taught for His entire public life on earth and something so heavenly He had done also in the very presence of Judas. This was, at least, the very essence of false charity for it constituted a false love of Jesus Christ by a feigned affection Read More...
"THE VILE KISS OF JUDAS PRIEST, THE NOVUS ORDO AND COMMUNION IN THE HAND"
12/12/07 13:45 Filed in: Communion in The hand
Nothing goes together so clearly as the philosophy of liberal Protestantism and the "Novus Ordo Missae" liturgy with communion in the hand. This is so very basic to any notion of false charity and how these two heretical views of Christianity share in their so-called worship of God.
The betrayal of Christ by Judas Priest is threefold and the second tier of this disgraceful sacrilege, which we will consider now, is the missing presence of Judas Iscariot when all the rest of the apostles and Christ were deep in prayer in the Garden of Olives. This was the second biblically noted event in Judas Iscariot’s life: his absence from Christ’s side with the other apostles when Our Lord was so deep in the contemplation and prayers of His Passion, just before His Way of the Cross and Crucifixion. This again, was a remarkable event in the life of Judas Iscariot, this willful and voluntary absence from the side of Christ, His Savior, when Our Lord and Savior was deep in the prayers of His Passion.
This cold calculating indifference towards Our Divine Lord and His Holy Presence Read More...

BETRAYAL AND COMMUNION IN THE HAND AND THE NOVUS ORDO MISSAE
07/11/07 09:20 Filed in: Communion in The hand
Liberal Catholicism like liberal Protestantism makes light of the Presence of Christ in its worship as did Judas Priest, the master of false charity and the devil’s coconspirator, most especially is this obvious in the liturgical innovation of communion in the hand and with it all the ignorance of disrespect, sacrilege, and irreverence that goes on virtually everywhere it is celebrated.
It was just this same cold ignorance in the Presence of Our Divine Lord Himself that characterized Judas’ every action, for example his boldness of challenging the way Mary Magdalen had used up the precious nard, which cost so much money, to anoint Jesus before His Passion and Death. This aggravated Judas’ false charity for he complained that this precious nard, worth over 300 denarii, could have been better spent on the poor. However, Our Divine Lord so strongly countered: "the poor you will always have with you but you will not have Me always."
Certainly, this same downgrading of liturgical matters in the "Novus Ordo Missae" is extraordinarily evident in the same lack
of respect that Judas’ false charity wanted to show Christ by saving the precious nard for profit, or more selfishly for his own personal worldly wealth. It should be noted that St. John the Evangelist in Holy Scriptures also clarified this same point regarding Judas’ false charity in that he was treasurer for the apostles but he often stole from their money for the poor for himself.
Thus the same theft goes on today, glaringly so, in the "Novus Ordo Missae" when all the examples of exterior piety, like Mary’s use of the precious nard on Our Lord’s feet, have been ignorantly eliminated from the "Novus Ordo Missae" i.e. patens used for serving communion, communion rails and communion cloths to protect the Sacred Species, genuflecting at communion time, un-ordained clergy distributing communion or extraordinary ministers of the Eucharist everywhere, removal of kneelers, tabernacles, and golden vesseled ciboria.
To cite these precious examples of exterior piety, created through centuries of orthodox Roman Catholicism and the reverential worship of God, as being archaic and superfluous is the very same as Judas priest’s adamancy in not wanting to exhibit the most reverential obeisance and care of Christ before His Passion and Death that Mary Magdalen wanted. And Judas Priest’s attitude– to deny the very worship and reverence due Our Divine Lord, is the very essence of Liberal Protestantism, which is to say all Protestantism because it is to the left of Roman Catholicism, especially in all things liturgical. Nevertheless, this betrayal, whether within the Church or without, smacks of the same despicable insolence to Our Divine Lord and God that Judas Priest exhibited just before Our Lord’s Passion and Death.
This attitude of diminishing the worship of God for which all men are obligated by the First Commandment, is the very nature of Liberal Protestantism with its liturgy-free worship and its rebellious "sola scriptura" or "scripture alone" is sufficient for salvation mentality. As a matter of fact, Protestantism is literally devoid of all exterior piety that the Catholic faith for centuries has prided itself upon in reverencing Our Divine Lord until, that is, the influx of the "Novus Ordo" and its watered down version of the liturgy and Mass.
Walk into a "Novus Ordo Missae" Church and walk into a Protestant one after that and note the similarities in the absolute void of pious memorabilia: no kneelers, no altars, no crucifixes, no tabernacles, no Eucharistic Presence of Our Lord and God. No uplifting reminders of God’s Holy Presence can be found in either worship space: no stained glass windows, statues or pictures of saints–especially the Blessed Virgin Mary and St. Joseph–no pulpits, no stations of the Cross, no holy water fountains, and finally no vigil lights. Finally, one cannot forget the vanishing of the large red tabernacle vigil light, so gloriously indicative of Our Divine Lord’s dear Presence in the Eucharist, always missing in Protestant worship space but now, sadly, the fate of almost all "Novus Ordo Missae" Catholic Churches.
In light of this litany of seemingly endless disrespect and sacrilege can one any longer doubt the denial of Jesus Christ and His Divine Presence as being total and complete by the Judas Priests of the "Novus Ordo Missae" and communion in the hand along with its boon ally, Liberal Protestantism?

“BETRAYAL OF CHRIST AND COMMUNION IN THE HAND”

"Betrayal and Communion in the Hand and the Novus Ordo Missae"
In the past forty years with the reformed liturgy known as the “Novus Ordo Missae” (New Order of the Mass), nothing eclipses the endless abominations in the Temple of God like communion in the hand, an innovation promulgated by Pope Paul VI’s reign and magnified exponentially throughout the Church universal under Pope John Paul II.
It is not an exaggeration to say this is the most widespread abuse of the “Novus Ordo Missae” or reformed liturgy of the Mass, for it has contributed everywhere it has been introduced to the exterior and interior collapse of personal piety and the reverence due to the Sacred Species and, nowhere is this more obvious, than in the rite of the “Novus Ordo Missae” itself. Moreover, here it is necessary to refer, particularly, to the very arrogance of human touch so presumptuously reaching out to touch what is so untouchable by human flesh, the Infinite Spirit of God. What can be more unimaginable and arrogant than to touch what is so utterly unapproachable by fallen human nature, the Infinite Perfection of the Godhead, and to reach out boldly with hands so soiled and impure from a lifetime of sinning for Infinite Purity Itself?
For the profane to defile the Most Holy, for the mundane to belittle the Celestial or the finite to be arrogant before the Infinite is the worst form of detraction of the Glory of God because this sacrilege is perpetrated by creatures visibly more audacious than the rebellious angels themselves, since it has been effected by beings created not from pure spirit as the angels, but from mere dust-- and that makes the offense more hideous.
What is being advanced in the “Novus Ordo” reformed liturgy of communion in the hand is one of the most egregious attacks upon all Sacred Tradition in Catholic teaching, the liturgy, and the faith by everything the nether regions has to offer sinful human pride since the very foundation of Christendom itself in the Upper Room; for all the Catholic faith and its worship of God comes down to its belief and practice: its teachings, preachings and doctrine of the Most Holy Eucharist.
No ploy of Satan has been more effective and had more impact than utilizing human pride to achieve his nefarious ends and purposes since the fall of the angelic hosts, for this tactic likewise brought down our first parents in what was the second most precipitous fall in the war between the celestial realm and the infernal. It is this poisonous pride of self-worth that has manifested itself in a plethora of disguises of satanical false charity, most of which are extraordinarily subtle, seemingly transparent but, nevertheless, most lethal to souls. And where does this attack by Satan and his fallen angels strive for its greatest triumph than against the Most Holy Eucharist Itself. Some aspects of this false charity of self-esteem out-of-control may be more recognizable and overt in secular society today with the endless barrage of infernal enticements to the human ego for gratification of every capital sin, justifying by endless specious arguments why the human ego ought to be gratified with every kind of human lust be it gluttony of food or drink or sexual excess of every kind, a so-called right to vent one’s anger at one’s neighbor, reasons why one ought to receive a wage for doing absolutely nothing, and envious arguments aplenty why one ought to have more than one’s neighbor by inundating oneself with material possessions. All of these offenses, while serious enough against God from the perspective of self-adulation, pale in respect to Satan’s ultimate attack of false charity on the Church, the liturgy, and the Holy Eucharist in particular-- his most subtle and pernicious assault of them all.
The Great Imitator sallies forth in disguises most appalling, alluring, and enticingly pointed to make what is profane in liturgical matters appear holy. His invasion of the sanctuary of God has become more deleterious now in salvation history than ever before, for he has opted to capture the ultimate gift of grace to mankind from God Himself, the very cult of His worship: the pinnacle of all sacramental love on earth, the Most Holy Eucharist Itself. This, undoubtedly, is the most insidious and pernicious attack of them all, one that even Pope Paul VI, after allowing this innovation of communion in the hand came to vociferously regret only a few years later: “The smoke of Satan has entered the sanctuary of the Church.”
So the love of self through the ruse of false charity, the very cult of Satan himself, has brought the battle for souls to a boil with an attack on the heart of man’s salvation, the Most Holy Eucharist. By advancing his philosophy of false charity and self love and by attacking the Holy Eucharist, God’s throne of grace for mankind in this world, Satan launches his worst battle for souls conceivable. Anyone with the least spiritual vision can verify the lethal results on souls of this vicious attack by Satan, most notably in the decline of exterior piety and reverence of those receiving Holy Communion as well as the precipitous drop in numbers of worthy communicants and, finally, the rise of unworthy ones. Clearly, this all stems from the catastrophic innovation of Communion in the hand out of the reformed rite of the “Novus Ordo Missae.”
Love of self, self adulation, and self-esteem are the wicked tools of false charity used by Satan to attack reverence due the Holy Eucharist caused by the “Novus Ordo” innovation of communion in the hand, a veritable reversal of the traditional teaching of ‘holiness of demeanor and humility and unworthiness’ advocated by the Church for centuries in approaching the Holy Eucharist.
Nothing exhibits one’s love of Christ in the Eucharist more or less than one’s exterior piety and comportment towards this sacrament, especially in the very receiving of Our Divine Lord Himself. Because of the suppressed sense of one’s unworthiness and sinfulness in the “Novus Ordo Missae” as compared to the “Missa Latina Tridentina” (Tridentine Latin Mass) which is so evident even at first glance from the single streamlined “Confiteor” in the “Novus Ordo Missae” to the much longer and more supplicatory “Confiteor” repeated three times over during the “Missa Tridentina Latina”, one sees how the door has been opened wide to all kinds of errant rationalizations of false charity in the face of sin before Almighty God.
The most egregious example of false charity is the very notion of communion in the hand itself --an outgrowth of the “Novus Ordo”-- where a false sense of priestly self-worth pervades the laity, alluring the unordained to take up Christ’s Body and Blood for oneself in Communion just like a priest at the altar. Self pride and a failed sense of sinfulness feed all kinds of other egalitarian liturgical improprieties of exterior demeanor too: casual dress, shorts, t-shirts, unfolded hands, distracted and unprayerful expressions of the face, standing posture instead of kneeling before the Lord, lack of thanksgiving after Mass for the Holy Eucharist in silent prayer, dropped particles of the Sacred Host, everywhere; all because of the very liturgical aberration of communion in the hand itself. Any of these abominations of the Most Holy Presence could, clearly, be venial or mortal sins of disrespect--reckless violations of the First Commandment. All of these sins deprive the Trinity of the adorations He so rightly deserves.
Each and every one of these liturgical aberrations derives from an inflated pride of one’s self-worth and moral equivalency with God and the fallacious notion: ‘I am really worthy for You to enter under my roof, O Lord, because you love me no matter what I do’ --truly a Protestant notion that is now enshrined in the hearts and minds of the vast majority of “Novus Ordo” Catholics; notwithstanding clergy, be it bishops, priests, or deacons.
It is this philosophy of false charity that is essential to the survival of Protestant worship and that has now become the very life of the “Novus Ordo” liturgy and Mass since Vatican II. In fact, this false charity of Protestant worship has become the very heart and soul of the “Novus Ordo Missae”, especially with communion in the hand. This false charity not only pervades liberal Protestantism (all Protestantism being liberal vis-a-vis Roman Catholicism) and the “Novus Ordo Missae”, but also consumed the very heart and soul of Judas Iscariot, Christ’s betrayer. Modern day Protestantism and the Liberal Catholicism of the “Novus Ordo Missae”, just like Judas Iscariot in Christ’s own day, have diminished, downplayed, and degraded the divine and supernatural of Christ's Infinite Presence in this world to the humanistic and mundane, a fact that has had the most deleterious consequences upon personal piety since Vatican II.
