Amici,
Fr. Chad Ripperger read through Bergoglio's Traditionis Custodes (aka "Tradition's Gaolers") with Steve Cunningham and Ryan Grant here online. It is over an hour and a half long, but obviously it is very thorough. I
transcribed Fr. R's summation. (It's amazing they're still on YouTube,
of course.)
Resistance Podcast #194: Thoughts on Traditionis Custodes w/ Fr. Ripperger & Ryan Grant
(1:39:00 in) Fr. Ripperger: "God will not allow the Traditional Latin Mass to be stamped out. The theologians in the past said the primary reason God created man is to have rightly ordered worship. That's the why He created us, so we would worship Him in a rightly ordered way. So that's what the Old Mass is, and so He's not going to allow this thing to be stamped out. We just have to be willing to stay the course and realize this is where our salvation is worked out in fear and trembling. This is wear the rubber meets the road. We have to be willing to suffer and grind this thing out. And this is where we win our crown of glory in Heaven, is by fighting for what is right, by fighting for what is just and good. And we just maintain it and don't allow ourselves to get sucked in to the negativity of it. (1:40:00)(1:46:34) Historically, they always said that the longer a liturgical part of the Mass was part of the rite, the more it was indicating, indicates, that that's God's will that it be there. So in relationship to the Old Rite, we know that the essential structure of this thing has been there for 1400 or 1500 years, and even longer. So, that tells us that we know this thing is the will of God; we know it because He's had it around for so long. And if He didn't want what we're going through now, He would have brought this about a long time ago. But He didn't; okay, so, this indicates this is what He wants.Now, one last thing to put together with that. We just read, on the Feast of St. Martha, where Martha says, "Tell her to come help me," Christ says something very important, which Trads have to keep in mind, and that's this: That she (Mary) has chosen the greater part, and it will not be taken from her. If we are worthy of the Traditional Mass, by being being holy, God will not take it from us. He might make it difficult, but He's not going to take it from us. So, our job is to be worthy of the Mass. (1:47:42)
Among other comments, Ryan Grant observed:
1:43:47 The fact that this document came out, (Traditionis Custodes) I think it shows we're getting to – like Fr. Ripperger said – it's coming because we're doing something and all the players that are applauding this document, or all the people that we've noted for years do not exhibit that they have the Catholic Faith, okay, or whatever faith they have is not ours. And so it is a good sign, I think, silver lining too is that the whole problem of ordinary form and extraordinary form is really problematic, because they're really not part of the same rite, and now that's been wiped away for good. 1:44:17 The reform of the reform is dead. We're going to have tradition, or we're going to have Fr. Billy-Bob Masses. If you take stock in that and embrace that you know God is setting up, I think you know, a great victory for us in the future. And we just need to persevere like St. John Capistrano and Saint Bernardine of Sienna in the 15th century, trying to reform the Church, trying to perform their Franciscan order...and all these reforms – they got some moderate reforms but none of it was really taken until 130 years after they were dead. ... You may not see it in your lifetime, but what matters is are you faithful. ... Are you becoming a better Catholic in response to this document, or are you becoming a worse Catholic? That's the question I think you should ask with some very serious spiritual introspection.
An P again:
A
good number of important point are made throughout this discussion. The
most important come at the end and regard our own spiritual welfare.
One of the earlier observations I note is that the haste of producing
and publishing Tradition's Gaolers indicate that Globalist
powers-that-be, who now fund (to some extent) the Vatican, might well
have told Bergoglio to stamp down on the one section of the Church that
is resisting the "vaccines". I myself had brought up some time ago the
"curious" timing of Tradition's Gaolers during this Covid Crazy Time. Interesting. Also, Fr. Z reports that Mount St. Mary Seminary, a part of St. Mary's University, in Emmitsburg, PA,
one of the most prestigious seminaries in the US, is demanding students
and seminarians to be vaccinated.
We
live in truly evil times, and that is demonstrated best, perhaps, by
the agonies the Catholic Church is going through. However, we need to
"chose the better part", do we not?
Also...
St. Mark's Gospel 13, excerpt:
6 For many shall come in my name, saying, I am he; and they shall deceive many.
7 And when you shall hear of wars and rumours of wars, fear ye not. For such things must needs be, but the end is not yet.
8 For nation shall rise against nation and kingdom against kingdom, and there shall be earthquakes in divers places, and famines. These things are the beginning of sorrows.
9 But look to yourselves. For they shall deliver you up to councils, and in the synagogues you shall be beaten, and you shall stand before governors and kings for my sake, for a testimony unto them.
10 And unto all nations the gospel must first be preached.
11 And when they shall lead you and deliver you up, be not thoughtful beforehand what you shall speak; but whatsoever shall be given you in that hour, that speak ye. For it is not you that speak, but the Holy Ghost.
12 And the brother shall betray his brother unto death, and the father his son; and children shall rise up against the parents, and shall work their death.
13 And you shall be hated by all men for my name's sake. But he that shall endure unto the end, he shall be saved.
