THE RETURN OF THE IMMORTAL LATIN MASS

Thanks to the SSPX and THE PAPAL MOTU PROPRIO OF JULY 2007

IS THERE A CRISIS IN THE CHURCH TODAY?

Thousands of priests have abandoned their office, and thousands of monks and religious have returned to secular life. There are very few vocations in Europe and not many in North America either; countless seminaries, convents, and religious houses have closed their doors. Many parishes lack priests, and religious congregations are obliged to abandon schools, hospitals, and homes for the aged.

WHAT THE POPES HAVE SAID CONCERNING THE CRISIS IN THE CHURCH

POPE ST. PIUS X

"There is no part of Catholic truth which they leave untouched, none that they do not strive to corrupt." (Pascendi)

POPE PIUS XI

"The one Church of Christ is visible to all and will remain, according to the Will of its Author, exactly the same as He instituted it." (Mortalium Animos, §15).

POPE PIUS XII

 The persistence of Mary about the dangers which menace the Church is a divine warning against the suicide of altering the Faith, in Her liturgy, Her theology and Her soul. … (in reference to the Third Secret of Fatima.)

A day will come when the civilized world will deny its God, when the Church will doubt as Peter doubted. In our churches, Christians will search in vain for the red lamp where God awaits them.

POPE PAUL VI

“Through some crack the smoke of Satan has entered into the Church of God.”

Papal address of June 30, 1972

“The opening to the world has become a veritable invasion of the Church by worldly thinking. “The Church is in a disturbed period of self-criticism, or what could better be called self-demolition.”

POPE JOHN PAUL II

European culture gives the impression of “Silent Apostasy" on the part of people who have all that they need and who live as if God does not exist.

POPE BENEDICT XVI

"I am convinced that the crisis in the Church that we are experiencing today is to a large extent due to the disintegration of the liturgy.”

"I was dismayed by the banning of the old Missal seeing that a similar thing had never happened in the entire history of the liturgy....”

POPE FRANCIS:

Be mindful of those saints...of the Church's rich bi-millenial tradition, without pretending to come up with a system of thought detached from this treasury.

The “crisis of priestly identity threatens us all, and adds to the broader cultural crisis”

THE CRISIS IN THE CATHOLIC CHURCH TODAY

ITS CAUSES

VATICAN II ? Why ?

THE NEW TEACHINGS OF VATICAN II

RELIGIOUS LIBERTY

MAN IS FREE (…) TO CHOOSE HIS OWN RELIGION SINCE ALL RELIGIONS ARE GOOD

OPPOSED to “There is but one universal Church of the faithful, outside which no one at all is saved.”

Pope Innocent III, Fourth Lateran Council, 1215.

THE NEW TEACHINGS OF VATICAN II

ECUMENISM

THE SEEKING OF UNITY WITH FALSE RELIGIONS WITH NO AIM TO BRING THEM TO THE TRUTH AND CONVERT THEM.

OPPOSED TO OUR LORD’S LAST COMMAND “GO INTO THE WHOLE WORLD AND PREACH THE GOSPEL TO EVERY

CREATURE. HE WHO BELIEVES AND IS BAPTIZED SHALL BE SAVED, BUT HE WHO DOES NOT BELIEVE SHALL BE CONDEMNED.” (MK. 16, 15)

THE NEW TEACHINGS OF VATICAN II

COLLEGIALITY - THE THEORY THAT ALL OF THE BISHOPS IN THE CHURCH CONSTITUTE A SEPARATE GOVERNING BODY IN THE CHURCH

OPPOSED TO DOGMATIC VATICAN COUNCIL I:

“We teach and declare that, according to the gospel evidence, a primacy of jurisdiction over the whole Church of God was immediately and directly promised to the blessed apostle Peter and conferred on him by Christ the Lord.” (PASTOR AETERNUS)

THE EFFECTS OF VATICAN II “And there was Darkness over the whole

the Land …”

“BY THEIR FRUITS YOU WILL KNOW THEM” Mt 7:16

This is a novelty and a legal fiction There is only ONE Roman Rite, that

The Ritus Modernus. The Document of 7/7/07 tells us that the

Old Rite was NEVER ABROGATED
