What is the SSPX fighting for?

JMJ

I've seen star wars and one line uttered by Rose (you probably know which ...) resonated with me:

You don't kill what you hate, you save what you love.

This line reminded me of the article on Gratitude.

Pope Francis and his minions are so aggravating in their hubris that it is sometimes maddening.

The damage they are doing beggars the imagination. Even Non-Trad (nt)Catholics are starting to seriously ask:

Is the Pope Catholic?

So what's the link to Rose's line?

Simple, we can't be bitter, we can't compromise, we know what we are doing - we are saving the priesthood because that is how you save souls.

No priesthood, no Church. It is that simple.

Corrupt a priest and Satan knows that he gets a bonanza of souls for that investment.

That's why ...

The Society’s purpose is the priesthood and all that pertains to it and nothing but what concerns it

That's why there is such an effort to stamp out the Tridentine Mass, when an ntCatholic Priest starts to say that Mass, it gradually changes him. As his change become apparent, he will be attacked by his confreres and bishop.

This is the way it is.

That's why ntCatholic need to help their priests live up to the exalted position to which they have been raised.

Make them be priests. Beg them to say the Tridentine Mass.

When that happens, if they persist, they will eventually become the realization of what the SSPX seeks. To form good priests.

There are very few orders that are not a result of the path the SSPX has beaten for the last 50 years.

Setting aside all the canonical arguments for and against the SSPX, ask yourself:

Who has compromised their principles in this fight for the soul of the Catholic Church?

For ntCatholics, I challenge you to ask yourself:

What have I done to help the Church emerge from this crisis? Have I helped a priest be a Catholic Priest today and not a 'presider'?

For Trad (t)Catholics, I challenge you to ask yourself:

What have I done to help my SSPX priest in this fight? Have I prayed for him? Have I supported him in other ways?

To my fellow tCatholics, don't give into bitterness and anger because of the length of this fight. Be grateful and share the treasures that you've been given by Our Lord Jesus Christ.

By sharing them, they will multiply - and then you will be a good and faithful servant. (Matthew 25:23)

P^3

Auctorem Fidei

Can the SSPX be right about the Novus Ordo? Revision: Feb 11, 2013 On another web forum, I was engaged in a rather heated discussion about the documents of Vatican II.

Morning and Evening and other sundry Prayers

+ JMJ Along the theme of P^3 (Prayer, Penance, Patience), and for my own reference ... here is a collection of Morning and Evening prayers from the Ideal Daily Missal along with some additional prayers. In this crisis of the Church, I do not think it is possible to do too much prayer, penance and have patience. P^3

What the heck is a congregation of "Pontifical Right"

+ JMJ In a discussion with a friend the question occurred to me that I didn't actually know was is involved in being a religious order of 'pontifical right'. I had a vague notion that this meant they reported to Rome as opposed to the local diocese. I'm also aware that, according to the accounts I have heard, the Archbishop received 'praise' and the written direction to incardinate priests directly into the SSPX. This is interesting because it implies that the SSPX priests were no longer required to incardinate in the local diocese but in the SSPX. This is something that belongs to an order of 'pontifical right'. Anyway here's some definitions: Di diritto pontificio is the Italian term for “of pontifical right” . It is given to the ecclesiastical institutions (the religious and secular institutes, societies of apostolic life) either created by the Holy See or approved by it with the formal decree, known by its Latin name, Decretu

Comparision of the Tridentine, Cranmer and Novus Ordo Masses

+ JMJ I downloaded the comparison that was linked in the previous article on the mass (here) . ... a very good reference! P^3 From: Whispers of Restoration (available at this link) . CHARTING LITURGICAL CHANGE Comparing the 1962 Ordinary of the Roman Mass to changes made during the Anglican Schism; Compared in turn to changes adopted in the creation of Pope Paul VI’s Mass in 1969 The chart on the reverse is a concise comparison of certain ritual differences between three historical rites for the celebration of the Catholic Mass Vetus Ordo: “Old Order,” the Roman Rite of Mass as contained in the 1962 Missal, often referred to as the “Traditional Latin Mass.”The Ordinary of this Mass is that of Pope St. Pius V (1570) following the Council of Trent (1545-63), hence the occasional moniker “Tridentine Mass.” However, Trent only consolidated and codified the Roman Rite already in use at that time; its essential form dates to Pope St. Gregory the Great (+604), in whose time the R

Catholic Culture - The Edgar Schein Model Analysis of the Pre and Post Conciliar Culture

+ JMJ So ... I was thinking ... I've used Edgar Schein's (RIP) organizational cultural model (link ) in my research ... why not apply it in a comparison between the Catholic Organizational Culture - PRE and POST Second Vatican Culture? Of course, this will be from my own perspective, I'm certain that others will think differently. 😁 Also, apologies for a rather long article. Graphic: https://mutomorro.com/edgar-scheins-culture-model/ Below is a quick mapping of the cultural factors that I could think of. Since the Church is vast and composed of millions of Souls, it is necessarily a limited cultural map. Yet, I think it will still be useful to assess what has changed since the Second Vatican Council.
