We have no possible dialogue with a Church like this...

Amici,

In some uplifting Catholic news (for once, so, may I not die of the shock – well, it was too good to last: see below), actor Shia LaBeouf has converted to the Catholic Faith, but more than that, LaBeouf has praised the Traditional Latin Mass! Great stuff! And he's insightful about it. See "Shia LaBeouf stuns Bishop Barron with love of Latin Mass: ‘They’re not selling me a car’". Naturally, Satan, the ensconced ruler of this world (we don't have to put up with him, but we do) will now attack LaBeouf, as Mel Gibson was attacked spiritually after The Passion of the Christ. Expect it. Pray for the guy.

At the bottom of the LifeSite article linked to above, please note, LifeSiteNews contributor Kennedy Hall presents a short embedded video wherein he ponders the scene: LaBeouf, the actor, and Bishop Robert Barron, the mainstream Novus Ordo impresario and multimedia producer, discuss the attraction to the Latin Mass on Barron's show, wherein LaBeouf clearly "gets it" whereas Barron remains clueless. Barron isn't trying to play it coy or dissemble, either. He just doesn't get it. Honestly, my friends, this short video is a must-see, and Hall's comments are excellent.

Meanwhile, German novelist and author extraordinaire (außerordentlich?) Martin Mosebach, has an interview Rorate Caeli carries, and translates to English: https://rorate-caeli.blogspot.com/2022/08/a-traditionalist-should-long-for-schism.html. Mosebach is absolutely the best, and I mean absolutely the best, writer on the Traditional Latin Mass and why it is so important and essential for Catholics in particular and Christians in general, and just how depraved the Modernist Bergoglian Church is. I have his book: The Heresy of Formlessness. Worth its weight in gold.

An excerpt from the Rorate interview (highlight mine):

We must accept the sad fact that a great part of the believers who have remained in the Church have been in the meantime reeducated. Goethe calls attention to the anthropological fact that reverence is not a natural characteristic of man, but that he must acquire it. In the formlessness of modern society, the old liturgy is really a foreign body. She attracts those who have an internal readiness for resistance. These will always only be a small elite, not in the sense of academic titles or economic power but of spiritual force and independence of mind. It is to be found at all levels of the society.

The catastrophe in the faith has created a paradox. The old liturgy lives from reverence for hierarchy and order, but her defenders have an anarchistic temperament. They distrust every institution and authority that is not willing to subject itself to the Tradition and that means most representatives of Church and state. The ruling pontifex, whose stated goal is, after fifty years of post-conciliar developments, to wipe out those remnants of the Tradition of the Church that are still present, has correctly recognized that his work will remain incomplete as long as the old rite is successfully transmitted to future generations. The old liturgy contains everything that a Catholic needs to be Catholic. It is even capable of replacing for a while a pope who doesn't understand his mission. The current pope understands this very clearly and this thought is unendurable to him.

AnP again:

Now, everyone, consider this Mosebach extract; doesn't this apply perfectly to the American Catholic Church (just watch Bishop Barron's reaction to Shia LaBeouf's praise of the TLM):

Like many, I am convinced that the official German Church is right at the point of total collapse. It is as hollow as a nest of termites. The stupidity and tastelessness of its representatives are not even attractive for modernist liberals, at least insofar as they are intelligent. A small remnant will remain, and orthodox Traditional Catholics will gain influence among these. What is critical in my view is that the official Church with its myriad lay employees finally disappears.

A Traditionalist shouldn't be afraid of the schism of the German Church. Rather, he should long for it, especially since it's in no way a schism but the public apostasy of the official Church. There's no basis anymore for the acclaimed “dialogue.”  Also, whether Tradition one day could be victorious doesn’t concern me anymore.  It must be sufficient to us that Tradition most closely approximates the religion founded by Christ.

AnP aríst:

Doesn't that apply to the Irish Church? The American? And so on? We should long for schism with the Mainstream Church because it would get us out from Begoglio's neo-Modernist/full Fascist boot, and it would not, truly, be a schism, since the Mainstream Church itself is in apostasy, and under a pope yearning, aching, drooling and twitching to bury the TLM because the "old liturgy contains everything that a Catholic needs to be Catholic", because the mainstream Church itself "is even incapable of replacing for a while a pope who doesn't understand his mission." There's no basis for dialogue with such a thing as that, Mosebach says. Indeed, there isn't.

We've reached, at long last, the point of no return in the Church. Little reason exists for "dialogue", as Bergoglio's recent efforts to just shut down the TLM plainly demonstrate. Another angle on this: it has come to my attention via Fr. James Altman that the priestly faculties of that abomination, the putrid Rembert Weakland, were never suspended or removed, whereas such has been done to hundreds of faithful, orthodox priests, like Altman himself. In fact, Weakland was to be given a full funeral from the Cathedral he ruined. (He hated the old liturgy so badly that he had the sanctuary torn out and a ridiculously titanic pipe organ installed so that it filled the space!)

In a Church where that is true, we have no possible "dialogue".
