I will agree that Pope Francis has been a disaster as pope. I agree that Pope Francis is no theologian. But Pope Francis has not been the only pope in history who was a total disaster, nor the only pope in history who was not the sharpest knife in the drawer theologically speaking.Bergoglio is not teaching the Faith or defending the Faith, and he's certainly not refuting any error. He is destroying the Faith and spreading error and heresy. He is trying to snuff out the last remaining vestiges of any Catholicism that is left in his Novus Ordo religion.
A high-ranking Vatican Cardinal, Arthur Roche – who leads the Vatican’s Congregation Dicastery for Divine Worship and Discipline of the Sacraments, and who was appointed to his current position by your fake apostate "pope", Jorge Bergoglio, has said out loud what traditionalists have been saying for decades.
He acknowledged that Vatican II changed the theology of the Catholic Church and that the Traditional Latin Mass does not correspond to this new theology and teaching of the Novus Ordo sect in regard to the Novus Ordo Missae.
There is an axiom in the Catholic Church, which is Lex orandi, lex credendi, which is "the law of praying is the law of believing." This means that prayer and belief are integral to each other, and that liturgy is not distinct from theology. It refers to the relationship between worship and belief. You believe as you pray. The two cannot be separated.
The Novus Ordo Missae is an illegitimate, intrinsically defective, Protestantized rite that departs from Catholic belief and tradition and, as such, it is a danger to the faith.
In 1969, after the introduction of the Novus Ordo "mass", Cardinals Ottaviani and Bacci, along with several other Catholic theologians, created a document that came to be known as the "Ottaviani Intervention." They presented this document to Montini (Paul VI). This document stated, in part, that the Novus Ordo Missae: "represents both as a whole, and in its details, a striking departure from the Catholic theology of the Mass as it was formulated in Session 22 of the Council of Trent".
This statement was in reference to the purest version of the Novus Ordo "mass", without any guitars or balloons or clowns or liturgical dancing girls or lady eucharistic ministers or altar girls or lay lectors or LGBT masses or any other of the endless novelties that you may see at any given Novus Ordo "mass."
I truly hope that your fake "pope", Mr. Bergoglio, is successful in his quest to totally rid his Novus Ordo religion of the Traditional Latin Mass. I completely agree with "Cardinal" Roche that the Traditional Latin Mass does not correspond to the new theology of the new religion of Vatican II and doesn't belong there.
But I believe you commit idolatry of form. You miss the forest for the trees. You seem to think the purpose of high Church Roman ceremony----is------an end itself rather than a means to an end. You seem to think that the Church does not have the authority to change the form of Sacramental celebrations as needs arise.
Did you know that in some of the Eastern Rite liturgies, there is no institution narrative in the consecration? Despite this, the Church has declared those prayers in full accord with Tradition. Why? Because what matters is whether the prayers reflect the Tradition. Our celebrations are not magic. It isn't the recitation of magic words that is the point. The point is whether the prayers accurately hand on the Faith and reflect the Faith the Church professes.
The Vatican II Mass accurately reflects what the Church believes and professes. It may not be to your personal liturgical tastes, but it is the Mass. It isn't Latin and high Church Roman ceremony that make the Mass. You seem to think the more Latin, the more ceremony, the more chant---the holier and more superior the Mass is.
Let me be clear: I have no problem with the rad trads wanting to have the Tridentine Mass. I have a problem with rad trads who want to force the Tridentine mass on ME. We both agree that what Pope Francis has done in restricting the celebration of the Rite is bad. But rad trads need to grapple with the fact that one of the reasons he did that was precisely because they developed a spiritual arrogance around the rite, acting as if they are superior Catholics because they attend what they see as the "real" Mass.
