The Vatican II Church explained from Mattias Desmet's psychological terms

A friend wrote me not long ago, saying,

I am reminded of the fact that without a rock to cling to, one becomes wreckage the ship of state upon the waters. The church is the answer, but certainly not certain members of the hierarchy to be sure. We still have to listen to who has the truth.

Indeed. The "modern world" is by definition an idea in which rocks, foundations, psychological safe harbors of all sorts are eschewed. The modern world doesn't want "rocky people" who are – as the notorious Bergoglio says – "rigid". Rocks are rigid. That's why we harvest them, carve them, and use them when we want to build solid, such as enduring solid architecture or solid sacred altars. Rocks endure. But "Modernism", the Church heresy, is all about "evolution", how we are so smart and so sophisticated we are that we don't need a solid foundation, or a dogmatic faith, and certainly no traditional morality or worship.

The result is a nearly dead Church, the Mainstream Church of empty churches we are all so familiar with; nearly empty except for old folks who "came of age" in the frothy 1960s. The 1960s were like the 1920s and the "Gay '90s" of the end of the 19th century, the original fin-de-siecle era Mark Twain so adroitly titled "The Gilded Age". WWI put paid to the "Gay '90s" and the Great Depression put paid to the Roaring '20s. The 1960s were more successful in polluting our souls, however, precisely because the radicals had invaded and polluted the Church herself. Before the '60s, the Church had stood as "the Rock" and foundation of sanity, the bastion of psychological certainty. But with Vatican II, all that went kaput. We were all cast adrift without an enduring social bond, without the sense-making ability when life gets tough, with all of us drowning in free-floating anxiety and an ever-present, uneasy free-floating psychological discontent.

The changes in the 1960s and 1970s Church left us adrift on psychological free-floating anxiety. But we're not supposed to be zombies, still less slaves to cheap passions and lusts and passing fancies, but instead we were to be true servants of God; thus, we are at daggers drawn with ourselves now – and our useless CEO-style bishops, who have replaced metaphysics with politics (I didn't think that up, BTW) are absolutely, truly, and most sincerely incapable of dealing with our civilizational crisis! They consult neither Holy Writ nor the Church Fathers, but they consult polls, because for them it is all politics.

One would do well to reread St. John's Gospel Chapter 10, all of it (it's long), a number of times, to the end. Notice how Our Lord plainly says there He knows His sheep and His sheep know Him. Notice how He expects us to recognize Him. The social bond He offers is strong. He expects us to respond to that. And He inspires us in that social bond. He says He leads them and dies for them, but the hired shepherds don't do that. Then the Jews, properly translated "Judeans" in St. John, harass Him and then try to kill Him via stoning. They embody the rejection of a solid social bond; they certainly reject Christ as "sense-maker" of life, as does so much of the modern world, obviously, itself so much shaped as it is by non-believers in entertainment, law, and banking.

The world Christ offers is different than that. Psychological anxiety and discontent do not exist in such an environment as He offers, but much of the Church has distanced itself (major elements of it have, not all of it by any means) from Christ the King. Tomorrow* is the Feast of Christ the King in the TLM. Search out such a Mass and "enter in" to the narthex of Christ's Kingdom, the TLM. Otherwise, try to worship in the modern Church that the descendants of those unbelievers in St. John 10 approve for us.

In the meantime, most of the modern world will be following the Beasts of Revelation, worshiping these monsters as gods because they no longer know God, do not recognize His Kingship and are alien to our Heavenly Fatherland, either spiritual or temporal.


Grim times, indeed.

Μόχθων δ’ ουκ άλλος ύπερθεν ή γας πατρίας στέρεσθαι.

There is no greater grief that the loss of one’s fatherland.

—  Euripides, 480-406 BC, Ancient Greek tragedian ‐ Medea

(Euripides knew all about free-floating psychological anxiety.)

*The priests of the TLM celebrate this feast on the last Sunday of October, and on the last Sunday before Advent in the Novus Ordo. In the Vetus Ordo, it immediately precedes the Feast of All Saints on November 1, which itself immediately precedes All Souls on November 2. 
PS November was sacred to the Ancient Celts, as Samhain, the seam on the iron tire of the year, when the old year bends around to meet the new year, and the dead and living could intermingle. The Irish kept strong remnants of this and eventually it gave rise to Halloween in English-speaking countries, a secular "Day of the Dead", as it were. As if it could not be made more shallow by commercializing it, modern "pagans" actually use it for their "religion", which cretinizes it profoundly.

Prof Matthias Desmet explains Mass Psychology

 Amici,


This below is an essential interview for all of us. A Belgian professor of clinical psychology explains what is going on with the Covid "scamdemic" or "plandemic" and why so many people are acting the way they do, while the rest of us look on in horror as freedoms, civil rights, and the Western way of life is cast down and discarded.

I took the trouble to transcribe it because that helps me understand it, yet having done so, then I can forward it to you-all. (I cannot claim it is a perfect transcript, but I went through it a few times so it ought to be pretty close.)

In a subsequent email, I write an essay on why our society should be so beaten down by lack of social bond, lack of meaning, and anxiety, free-floating and otherwise, and why the Church is the one institution that exists to counter that, but obviously, it is now part of the problem. LifesiteNews reported Bergoglio has publicly said he wants Big Tech to crush vaccination opposition. The man is absolutely evil.

Pathetic: Vatican II Church, Columbus Diocese Edition: Drying Up and Blowing Away

 Amici,

I came across this Columbus Church article by chance. Check it out.

Being the utterly ridiculous, shallow, and "fake news" outlet it is, The Dispatch asked no important questions whatsoever.

The pathetic Catholic Vatican II de-incarnation Columbus diocese-style Church, is drying up all over the place, drying up and blowing away, certainly in Scioto County and everywhere in general. Three parishes there are now closed, leaving four in the entire county. The three were "cancelled" (just like so many priests) and are "being shuttered as a result of a Catholic priest shortage, demographic changes and other reasons," the paper reports.

Eejits! Other reasons? The priest shortage is an intentional creation of the American bishops! Read the book, "Good-by Good Men" (Michael S. Rose, 2015). "Rose uncovers how radical liberalism, like that found on many college campuses, has infiltrated the Catholic Church and tried to overthrow traditional beliefs, standards, and disciplines—especially Church teachings on sexuality."

I myself seem to remember the story of a cancelled priest Brennan sent to a detox gulag because that priest was doing great work in (you guessed it) Scioto County! But then he preached full Church teaching on homosexuals and also on abortion. That made him anathema to Brennan.

Damn Brennan and the horse he rode in on! Or how about about there being no sort of Pauline "preaching Christ and Him crucified" to all and sundry, bringing in more and more converts? How 'bout a full restoration of the ancient TLM, which WHEREVER that TRUE Catholic liturgy is allowed to exist, it draws in new converts galore and boatloads of reverts!?! How about that, Bishop Brennan, you idiot?

Or how about this idea? Get Brennan off his butt and move his residence to one of the parishes he's closing down along the Ohio. Let him preach Christ and Baptize and Confirm down there in God's country. How about that, hmmm? Oh, wait. Brennan spent the last two years kissing ecclesiastical ass so he could get promoted to the plumb Brooklyn diocese. They appoint this S.O.B., an obviously incompetent bishop and member-in-good-standing of the Church of Laodicea, to one of plum U.S. bishoprics, right next to the Long Island bishopric his crony from PA days is currently at. That'd be Bishop John O. Barres of Rockville Centre. Clearly, "the fix is in".

Do NONE of these drones read either the New Testament or the Church Fathers? OT or the Fatima Revelations? I started on the Apocalypse the other night and got to chapter 11. Jumpin' Ju-Ju Bones! I'd rather be strapped to a nuke and dumped out of a B52 than be an American bishop on Judgement Day. (Slim Pickens played a Klingon here!)

We need this guy below to rise up and "call down fire from Heaven".

Are we such "suckers"? Get ready for the "Marburg" virus!

 Friends,


A friend forwarded this to me. Maybe it's a hoax of a sort, a "tall tale" in some fashion, or maybe not. We'll see in the next few months how this develops, if it turns out to be anything at all. But "never let a crisis go to waste", as a Democrat mayor once said. This is perfect for that. What to do with all those Covid vaccine recipients coughing up blood? Well, in the spirit of the "crisis" quote, here's the email I received.

An P again: Okay, I don't know if this is a hoax but the WHO site link above takes you to a WHO news article on it. A certain kind of fruit bat is the vector to humans, apparently. Doesn't that sound oh so familiar?

And it does sound plausible to use Marburg to cover up all the people coughing up blood from their Vaccine Adverse Event Reactions. Of course they can't blame the vaccines, now, can they? Related to that, here's an interesting "whistleblower" story here. It's about a woman named Deborah Conrad who blows the whistle on the number of people in the hospital because of adverse vaccine reactions and how the hospital tried to shut her up about it and prohibit her reporting these sick people to VAERS.
An excerpt:
As Ms. Conrad has detailed, her hospital serves a community in which less than 50% of the individuals were vaccinated for Covid-19 but yet, during the same time period, approximately 90% of the individuals admitted to her hospital were documented to have received this vaccine.
Wisonsin Senator Ron Johnson on a Sunday Talk show yesterday said we've had 16,744 VAERS-reported deaths in the last 10 months. I know some estimates (based on calculations of info from the Centers for Medicare and Medicade) place it as high as 40,000 deaths.

In 1976, they started this same spiel about the "Swine Flu", and began injections, but as Dr. Peter McCullough recently said, "After the emergence of 25 deaths and 550 cases of Guillain-Barre Syndrome, the government shut it down. Although it was debated whether or not the vaccine caused the damage, it didn’t matter,” the physician recalled. 

I guess Americans were not so much "suckers" as they have since become. ("Sucker" is an old and unique American slang for someone easily fooled and taken advantage of.)

This Covid "vaccine" death rate is being replicated around the world. I'll be sending around an article on the disaster occurring in Ireland, in County Waterford, which had the highest vaccination rate in Ireland; of course its medical centers are now flooded with hordes of idiots suffering extreme vaccine reactions. (Sorry if I can't work up much sympathy; the Irish seem to have a death wish. They wanted to give up freedom for safety and now have neither. Their lust for their own putative "safety" turned a relatively bad flu into The Black Death.)

Anyway, I believe in the old adage: To be forewarned is to be forearmed.

And of course I can't forget my old friend, Aristophanes:
Νοείν, οράν, ξυνιέναι, στρέφειν έδραν, τεχνάζειν, κάχ’ υποτοπείσθαι, περινοείν άπαντα.
To think, to see, to understand, to show the arse, to trick, to suspect the worst, to question everything.
—  Aristophanes, 445-386 BC, Ancient Greek comic playwright ‐ Frogs (referring to what Euripides taught to Athenians, according to Aristophanes)

Or closer to our own times, how about Mark Twain?
It ain't what you don't know that gets you into trouble. It's what you know for sure that just ain't so. – Mark Twain

An absolute must-read: The Non-existent Virus

 Friends,

This is one of those absolute must-reads: The Non-existent virus at Jon Rappoport's blog.

A researcher over the past year, using Freedom of Information acts in various countries, has found no country has an actual SARS-CoV-2 virus in a government or (apparently) private lab, even when a nation's laws require that. And in the interview this researcher, Christine Massey, shows that this sort of lying by Canadian government health agencies about public healthcare goes back decades, specifically about fluoride in the drinking water. That's what proved to her that governments won't hesitate to lie about public health.

An P Rant: The fact the CDCs and FDAs of many countries do not have an actual material sample of the SARS-CoV-2 virus on file, a sample "isolated" or "purified" (since "isolated" is so compromised a term, being used of the ridiculous "cell culture" "isolation") from multiple sources "in the wild" has been known for some time; for instance, I remember researchers in Ireland finding this out about the Irish government last year.

But now in this interview, we learn about Canadian researcher Christine Massey, who has been quietly collecting responses from her Freedom of Information Requests she sent around the world and the answers she has received corroborate what I've been hearing. This is crucial news for EVERYONE to know about. Please understand this: The genome sequence fed into PCRs to test for Covid was extracted from a single pneumonia patient in Wuhan in 2019, and the "isolation" was via cell culture (if you don't know what that is after all my writing about it, read the interview); the Chinese then provided it to the rest of the world via computer. But no government agency actually has the physical virus itself for study. No one has it.

Now, supposedly, only two physical copies of the Smallpox virus remain in existence, both in secure labs in the U.S. and the Russian Federation. They are kept for study. The Herpes Varicella-zoster virus that supposedly causes chickenpox and shingles is kept widely on file, so far as I know, having been isolated before the rise of the cell-culture isolation method in the middle 1950s. (Attempts to experiment on these to "prove" this herpes virus causes chickenpox have not been very successful, by the way. Inject this supposedly hyper-contagious virus in to people and only sometimes do they develop symptoms: it could be equally true that the presence of this virus stimulates the bodies of some individuals to automatically develop the condition, and others not.)

So now we have the greatest epidemic in a full century, in a full 100 years, with our medical technology far beyond what we had in 1918, yet nobody has even one sample of the actual virus? A world thrown into turmoil and chaos, with civil rights destroyed and jobs lost and psychological nightmares and suicides and paranoia on an international scale and a brutal wrecking of national healthcare systems everywhere – even the military is being eviscerated! – and yet no one has a copy of the bug supposedly responsible?

No, this is not right. We've been lied to. And everyone of you who took a "vaccine" for this non-existent bug ought to be supremely angry. And scared. Just what did they give you? The know. You do not. Remember, Big Pharma knows all of this. They knew there was no virus. Whether it was a biological weapon of some sort developed by China, or that Fauci used the Chinese to develop, or whatever the truth is: they knew it wasn't what they said it was.

If you've never been scared of anything in your life, be scared of governments that, working as extensions of the big pharmaceutical companies and secretive agencies within government, are able to lie to you, deprive you of your rights, sicken you and maybe kill you. That's where we're at today.

The interview:
"With a background in biostatistics, Christine Massey has been using Freedom of Information (FOIA) requests as a research tool, as a diamond drill, to unearth the truth about SARS-CoV-2. As in: Does the virus exist?

"Her approach has yielded shocking results."

An excerpt:

Q: You and your colleagues have made many FOIA requests to public health agencies around the world. You’ve been asking for records that show the SARS-CoV-2 virus exists. How did you develop this approach?

A: In 2014, a lady in Edmonton submitted a freedom of information request to Health Canada asking for studies relating to the addition of hydrofluorosilisic acid (industrial waste fluoride acid) to public drinking water (water fluoridation). Health Canada’s response indicated that they had no studies whatsoever to back up their claims that the practice is safe or effective.

A few years later, some high quality government-funded studies showed that common fluoride exposure levels during pregnancy are associated with lower IQs and increased ADHD symptoms in offspring. Nevertheless, dentists and the public health community continued to promote and defend the so-called “great public health achievement” of forcing this controversial preventative dental treatment onto entire communities, and were dismissive of those studies. So I used freedom of information requests to show that various institutions promoting and defending water fluoridation in Ontario, Alberta and Washington State could not provide or cite even one primary study indicating safety with respect to those outcomes.

So once I learned from people like David Crowe, Dr. Andrew Kaufman, Dr. Stefan Lanka and Dr. Thomas Cowan that the alleged [COVID] virus had never been isolated (purified) from a patient sample and then characterized, sequenced and studied with controlled experiments, and thus had never been shown to exist, I realized that freedom of information (FOI) requests could be used to verify their claims.

Most people are not going to take the time to check all of the so-called “virus isolation” studies for themselves, so FOIs were a way to 1) ensure that nothing had been overlooked, and 2) cut to the chase and back up what these gentlemen [Kaufman, Cowan, Crowe, Lanka] were saying, if they were indeed correct.

So in May 2020 I began submitting FOI requests for any record held by the respective institution that describes the isolation/purification of the alleged “COVID-19 virus” from an unadulterated sample taken from a diseased patient, by anyone, anywhere on the planet.

Q: How many public health and government agencies have you queried with FOIA requests?

A: I have personally queried and received responses from 22 Canadian institutions. These are public health institutions, universities that claim to have “isolated the virus”, and 3 police services – due to their enforcement of “COVID-19” restrictions. I have also personally received responses from several institutions outside of Canada including the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and Anthony Fauci’s National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID). I await responses from a number of additional institutions.

Many people around the world have obtained responses to the same/similar, or related, [FOIA] requests, from institutions in their own countries. One person who has done a lot of work on this in New Zealand and other countries is my colleague Michael S. Also a fellow named Marc Horn obtained many in the UK. A handful of other people obtained several responses, and lots of people have obtained 1 or 2.

I have been compiling all of the responses that are sent to me on my FOI page, and as I type this (October 4, 2021) we have FOI responses from 104 institutions in well over 20 countries all relating to the purification/existence of the alleged virus. Additionally, there are court documents from South Africa and Portugal. In total, 110 instructions are represented at this moment on my website. There are FOI responses from more institutions that I haven’t had a chance to upload yet.

Q: How would you characterize the replies you’ve gotten from these agencies?

A: Every institution without exception has failed to provide or cite even 1 record describing purification of the alleged virus from even 1 patient sample.

Twenty-one of the 22 Canadian institutions admitted flat out that they have no such records (as required by the Canadian legislation). Many institutions outside Canada have admitted the same, including the CDC (November 2, 2020), Australia’s Department of Health, New Zealand’s Ministry of Health, the UK Department of Health and Social Care…

And in some cases, silly excuses were provided. For example, the Norwegian Directorate of Health’s response was that they do not own, store or control documents with information about patients. Public Health Wales told Dr. Janet Menage that they have not produced any such records, and that while they would normally be willing to point her towards records that are in the public domain it would be too difficult in this case.

Brazil’s FDA-like injection-approver, the Health Regulatory Agency (Anvisa), told Marcella Picone that they have no record of virus purification and are not required to by law, thus it is (in their minds) not their obligation to make sure that the virus actually exists.

End of excerpt.
Read the whole interview. There's a tremendous amount of information in it, and it is not very long.

As we approach the denouement...

 Friends,


As we approach the denouement of the cascading chaotic events of the past half century, we ought to take stock. Why now? The end isn't far off, that's why.

A few days ago it looked like World War III – the shooting version – was about to start as China inundated Taiwan with military intrusions into Taiwan's airspace on a scale never seen before. (This is fitting as WWII began with Japan invading China before Hitler invaded Poland.)

Then the Chinese seemed to back off, for the nonce. We have no clue if that's temporary or what. We have NO IDEA what's going on because our intelligence assets (our spies) have recently been decimated by Chinese and Russian and Iranian Intel operations (i.e. our spies murdered, vanished, or turned). So, we're blind. But Communist China is led by a nut named Xi who has seized total power and made himself a dictator for life (gee, who does that remind us of? A guy with a funny mustache? Hmm?). So, what could go wrong? After all, the current "pResident" of the U.S. is an addled moron who let Afghani Muslim fanatics take over billions of dollars of U.S. military hardware. So, if Xi is going to attack Taiwan, now would be the time.

After all, he has America's top general giving him early warning of what U.S. military actions might be. (That despicable general, Mark Milley, needs stood against the wall and shot, forthwith, along with a good portion of U.S. senior military personnel locked up and the key thrown away. And all the politicians who let the bad guys steal the last election, including both Democrats and Republicans and maybe even Trump himself, need the same treatment, for the U.S. elections are a complete fraud.)

So, Xi, now would be the time, ya know?

Meanwhile...

We've spent now almost two years in destroying our Western national economies, along with our international and local supply chains (of food and goods of all types) being about to crash and burn. For now, at least, the price of food is skyrocketing but just wait till the 'shelves are bare'. People will go absolutely feral.

Oh, and we've also been turning our populations into paranoid zombies wearing flimsy cloth masks and injecting themselves with hastily cooked up potions created by mega-corporations who have reaped unimaginable profits from the scam.

And all over a "virus" that no one has an actual specimen of – i.e. from nature, derived from an ill person, properly isolated. What we have instead is sheer cooked up junk in a tortured cell culture goop, from which computers find gene sequences they're told to find. Truly, all we have is a computer generated genome that the Chinese gave us. No, I'm not making this up! And the genome itself is supposedly from one sick guy in Wuhan – the city itself being a first-line candidate for standing out as the most polluted city on this planet! The original patient had a bad pneumonia. In a city where it is next to impossible to breathe!

On top of that, we know this so-called novel super-virus (of which the U.S. Patent Office has patents for dating back a couple of decades! And no, I'm not making that up, either) "infects" us only because a machine says so – when the inventor of the machine (I'm talking about Kary Mullis and his PCR, of course) said it shouldn't be ever used for infection diagnostics. Then we find out Big Pharma and Big Medicine love this gadget so much they're going to use it to diagnose whatever anyone is sick with – this is being openly discussed and planned for. Human diagnosticians like Dr. House can go to the out-house and jump in. They'll all about to be replaced.

My friends, when I put it like this, the utter imbecility of both Covid and the world situation is manifest. But it is imbecilic everywhere. Someone here in Hungary sent me a comment by the Hungarian prime minister on the radio in which he spews a bunch of boilerplate about how important vaccination is, quoting Bela Merkely, a Hungarian medical big shot who is appearing on posters all over Budapest with the caption "The Vaccine Works / Hungary Works", which my wife says she hasn't seen propaganda like that since the Communist regime. Merkely says "'That everyone who does not vaccinate can find the virus.' A serious man knows he's in danger and can make the decision on whether to vaccinate himself." A "serious man"? And in the same radio interview, Orbán disingenuously states: – "No one knows anything for sure because it's a young virus." Prime Minister, no one knows for sure because the damned thing is "made up as they go along"! The Prime Minister continued, "... all that is certain is that the vaccination works and that the third vaccination is better than not," adding that from the figures he sees, it's better if he gets vaccinated the third time.

I mean, this has to be the most brilliantly stupid thing I've ever seen. He directly says: "The vaccine works so well, I'm going to get vaccinated the third time!" Yeah, with a "success" record like that, we can conjure up the supposed Einstein quote that the definition of madness being to do the same thing over and over, expecting a different result.

In Israel they're finally experiencing street riots from people having take a third vaccine (or is it a fourth one now? A fifth?). Video from Australia shoes thick-necked, pin-headed police just beating the excrement out of people who left their homes to shop for food. In New Zealand, people are locked up for going to KFC! In the U.S., the CMS, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services has a whistleblower "outing" the evidence that 50,000-some Americans have died from the vaccine, while even the CDC's VAERS system has over 10,000 now dead from the vaccines. And the investigative news people at Project Veritas, who have lately revealed all sorts of outrages of every description involving the vaccines, now has a whistleblower from the Big Pharma corp Pfizer revealing that gee, after all, Pfizer DID use aborted baby parts in their vaccine. Wow, Pfizer lied? You'd better believe it. They have a history of lying, in fact. And LifeSiteNews has a story here about selling 750 aborted baby livers. This is a story straight out of Hell. (I could post links here and to all my observations above, but all this stuff can be found on the Internet by anyone willing to click for it.)

Meanwhile, Joe Biden is have the U.S. Attorney General use the FBI to declare parents to be domestic terrorists who protest the teaching their kids are getting. That is pure police-state usurpation of all civil rights. In America. Now, today. And while that is going on, thousands of health-care professionals are being fired or quitting, throwing the national heath system into chaos. Read Dr. Jennifer Daniels if you want to know what a shambles the U.S. healthcare system already is. Or read Death by Medicine – published back on October 16, 2011, by Gary Null (Author), Martin Feldman and Debora Rasio (Contributors). The info on the book explains:
"The medical environment has become a labyrinth of interlocking corporate, hospital, and governmental boards of directors, infiltrated by the drug companies. Drug company representatives write glowing articles about pharmaceuticals, which are then signed by physicians paid handsomely for their cooperation, though they may not know the adverse side effects of the drugs they promote. The most toxic substances are often approved first, while milder and more natural alternatives are ignored for financial reasons. It's death by medicine."

In a subsequent email I'll look back at the last half-century of history, from JFK's assassination on about the historical events we all knew about but didn't know the truth about. All of the above misery, stupidity, evil and criminality has a long history. This all has been coming along, gathering speed, for most of our lives. And parallel to the politics, so is the religion. Catholicism survives, the Church survives, but the official Church, the Vatican II Church, is about to end, and I'll discuss that as well.

In the meantime, c'mon Chairman Xi, when are you going to "press the button"? We are now at the stage they were in 1914, when in German-speaking lands the saying was, "Better a terrible end than an endless terror". They also said, "The situation in Berlin is serious, but not hopeless; the situation in Vienna, however, is hopeless, but not serious". We can paraphrase that with "The situation in Beijing is serious, and they're ready; the situation in Washington is neither".

The Babel Mass vs The Mass of the Ages

Amici,

Here in Budapest, they're having on the morrow (October 2) a "Mass of the Nations" in the huge basilica. I'm sure it will be a cacaphony on meretricious exhibitionism in the classic Novus Ordo style of polyester inanity. I wrote the folks who informed me of it the following observations:


Thanks for forwarding this. I see it is already happening tomorrow.

But in the spirit of Christian charity, I must point out that the "Mass of the Nations" can only be the Traditional Latin Mass – the true Mass of the nations both in age and extent. Along with the various Gallican rites, which it absorbed early on in the West of Europe, the TLM was the Mass in all of Western Europe, and by itself in Central Europe and Northern Europe and even North Africa west of Egypt before the Muslim Conquest, and of North and South American countries – the latter continents for 500 years; it was certainly the only Mass in many places in Asia from the time of the Counter-Reformation till the 1960s. It is the Western Liturgy of the the ages, coming down to us from the early days of the Church in Rome, and exhibiting a very specific Roman character (as opposed to the great Liturgies of the cultural East, for example), and held in all that time in the sacred language of the West, Latin, which itself was made sacred by appearing on the Cross on which Our Lord suffered and died. Along with Greek and Hebrew, it was written on the placard Pontius Pilot had placed on the Cross: Iesvs Nazarenvs Rex Ivdaeorvm. ("INRI")

The Cardinal-Archbishop here locally has shut down all the TLMs in BP except for the one at St. Michael's on Vaci út. It is up for a formal permission for re-approval about the end of this year, I believe, and we don't know if the Cardinal-Archbishop will approve it again in light of Traditionis Custodes (as "Custodes" is used in Latin for prison guards as well as general "custodians", it can be truly translated "Jailers of Tradition"). However, the Cardinal-Archbishop has no say over the SSPX Mass in town, Deo grátias.

Tomorrow's "Mass of the Nations" promises to be a complete Babel. But perhaps its intention – as is so often true of the Novus Ordo – is to "affirm" and "celebrate" human identities rather than offer a coherent worship the transcendent God? In any case, I'm sure it will be packed. It'll be a true spectacle. 

In Christ,

An P
