"We grant and permit this forever."

When the Catholic Church introduced the official Traditional Latin Mass in 1570, they sent out a decree ahead of it, warning everyone what was coming.   Here's just part of their "warning": 

"But in order that what has been handed down by the most holy Roman Church, the Mother and Teacher of the rest of the churches, may be accepted and observed by all everywhere, We forbid [translation of We] that henceforth for all future times in all the patriarchal [churches] of the provinces of the entire Christian world, in all cathedrals, in all secular collegiate and parish churches, and in the churches of any orders, in the churches of monasteries of both men and women, and also regulars of military orders, and both chapels and churches without any care of souls, in which the conventual Mass is sung aloud with the choir or is said silently and is said regularly or is required to be said according to the rite of the Roman Church, [We forbid] that Mass be sung or recited in any other way than according to the formula of the Missal issued by Us; [this prohibition holds] even though these churches are exempt in any way whatever, whether by an apostolic indult, by custom, by privilege, also [if exempt] by oath, by apostolic confirmation or if they are protected by other faculties of any kind whatesoever; unless [this faculty or exemption] was approved by the Apostolic See from the very beginning of the institution, either by custom, or which very institution of celebrating Mass has been faithfully observed in the same churches for more than two hundred years; from these We in no way, by no means, take away the constitution or custom of celebrating as in the above-mentioned constitution. We make this provision so that if this Missal which We have had issued should please these more, they could with the consent of the Bishop, or of their Prelate, or of a General Chapter, all things to the contrary notwithstanding, celebrate Mass according to this Missal; this We permit. But from all other churches above mentioned We remove [condemn] the use of their Missals, and wholly and entirely reject them, and We decree under penalty of Our indignation that never at any time is anything to be added, subtracted or changed; this We determine and ordain to hold in perpetuity by virtue of this constitution. We strictly command, and We issue this command by virtue of holy obedience, that they set aside wholly and entirely in the future all other observances [rationibus] and rites and Missals, no matter how ancient they may be that they have been accustomed to use, that they reject them entirely, and that they sing and read Mass according to the rite, the mode and the norm of this Missal which is now being issued by Us; and let them not presume to add or recite other ceremonies and prayers in the celebration of Mass than those that are contained in this Missal.

"And in perpetuity We grant and permit that they may by all means use this Missal in singing or reciting Mass in any church whatsoever without any scruple of conscience, without incurring any penalties, sentences, or censures; in order that they may be able to do this and be able to use this Missal freely and lawfully, We by virtue of Our Apostolic Office, and by virtue of this present document, We grant and permit this forever.

.....

"No one is allowed to go contrary to this letter [paginam] which expresses Our permission, statute, regulation, mandate, precept, grant, indult declaration, or will and Our decree and prohibition; no one is allowed to act against it with rashness or temerity. But if anyone would presume to attempt this, let him know that he will incur the wrath [indignation] of Almighty God and of Saints Peter and Paul, His Apostles."


"The Plan to Wreck America"

This is the end of the world as we know it:

"I was reading a document that was authored by George Soros over 10 years ago in which he talks specifically about this all-out war that would ultimately come against Russia because he said this ‘was the last nationalist state that rests on a foundation of orthodox christian culture with Russian identity at its core. That has to be removed.

"So I think that the people who are in charge in the west and the people in charge in Washington think they have successfully destroyed the identities of the European and American peoples, that we have no sense of ourselves, our borders are undefended, we present no resistance to the incoming migrants from the developing world who essentially roll over us as though we owe them a living and that our laws do not count. Thus, far I would say that is an accurate evaluation of what we’ve been doing. And I think that’s a great victory for George Soros and the globalists, the anti-nationalists; those who want open borders what they call it an “Open Society” because you end up with nothing, an amorphous mass of people struggling to survive who are reduced to the lowest levels of subsistence … (Soros) even goes so far as to talk about how useful it would be if it was east Europeans whose lives were expended in this process and not west Europeans who simply won’t take the casualties."

Visionary Marija Pavlovic-Lunetti

“Dear children! Keep converting and clothe yourselves in penitential garments and in personal, deep prayer; and in humility, seek peace from the Most High. 

In this time of grace, Satan wants to seduce you; but you, little children, keep looking at my Son and follow Him towards Calvary  in renunciation and fasting. 

I am with you because the Most High permits me to love you and lead you towards the joy of the heart, in faith which grows for all those who love God above all. 

Thank you for having responded to my call. ”

Pope Francis is trying to make the Latin Mass extinct.

This is one of the most significant episodes of the "Papal Posse" to ever appear on the ETWN show "World Over." 

It seems that the Vatican, now that Benedict XVI has gone to his great reward, and working as fast as possible to undo all that he did, and the Traditional Latin Mass is now their biggest target.


"10 Things to Know Before Attending a Traditional Latin Mass"

For those who want to know a little more about the Traditional Latin Mass:

"In July 2007, Pope Benedict XVI restored the Traditional Latin Mass as one of the two forms of the Mass in the Roman Rite of the Catholic Church. In Summorum Pontificum, the Pope Emeritus declared that the Traditional Latin Mass, in use in the Western Church for 1,500 years, would henceforth be known as the "Extraordinary Form" of the Mass. Consequently, the Mass commonly known as the Novus Ordo—short for Novus Ordo Missae, the "New Order of the Mass."—would now be called the "Ordinary Form" of the Mass. "

"The Catholic Church Has Lost Its Sense of the Sacred"

The following text is an excerpt from the National Catholic Register, September 23, 2019.   Here, Cardinal Sarah says the prohibiting of the "extraordinary form" of mass is demonic.  The "extraordinary form" is also known more popularly as "The Traditional Latin Mass".

A strange thing has started happening around the world, Catholics in all nations are finding that the Traditional Latin Mass to be a superior form of worship than the Vatican II "Novus Ordo", or "ordinary form" of mass.  These are not just a bunch of old people who have grown tired of Vatican II reforms, but this movement is made up mostly of younger people who have never known the Latin Mass before Vatican II.   But when they are exposed to it, they find it to be a far superior form of worship.   

The reason for this is rather simple: there is a beauty and solemness to the Traditional Latin Mass that the ordinary form greatly lacks.  

Pope Benedict XVI, seeing how popular it was becoming, made it so that any parish, worldwide, could go back to the Traditional Latin Mass if they wanted to, no questions asked.   

But Pope Francis has been on a ruthless quest to destroy the Traditional Latin Mass where-ever it may be found.   

Cardinal Sarah’s Cri de Coeur: The Catholic Church Has Lost Its Sense of the Sacred

Exclusive interview with the prefect of the Congregation for Divine Worship and the Discipline of the Sacraments.

EXCERPT: 

NATIONAL CATHOLIC REGISTER: "Why do you think more and more young people are attracted to traditional liturgy / the extraordinary form?"

CARDINAL SARAH:  "I do not think so. I see it; I am a witness to it. And young people have entrusted me with their absolute preference for the extraordinary form, more educative and more insistent on the primacy and centrality of God, silence and on the meaning of the sacred and divine transcendence. But, above all, how can we understand, how can we not be surprised and deeply shocked that what was the rule yesterday is prohibited today? Is it not true that prohibiting or suspecting the extraordinary form can only be inspired by the demon who desires our suffocation and spiritual death?

"When the extraordinary form is celebrated in the spirit of the Second Vatican Council, it reveals its full fruitfulness: How can we be surprised that a liturgy that has carried so many saints continues to smile at young souls thirsty for God?

"Like Benedict XVI, I hope that the two forms of the Roman Rite will be mutually enriching. This implies getting out of a hermeneutic of rupture. Both forms have the same faith and the same theology. To oppose them is a profound ecclesiological error. It means destroying the Church by tearing it out of its Tradition and making it believe that what the Church considered holy in the past is now wrong and unacceptable. What a deception and insult to all the saints who have gone before us! What a vision of the Church.

"We must move away from dialectical oppositions. The Council did not wish to break with the liturgical forms inherited from Tradition, but, on the contrary, to better enter and participate more fully in them."
