This is Appalling, Not Surprising

No two ways about it-- the purge by Pope Francis of bishops with a sense of the necessity of the worship of God in the Liturgy is a ruthless move against the Mass itself.  No more nuance, the Mass-- so attacked by the Church that should be its guardian-- is now under the "care" of a cabal of liturgical modernists.May I take this moment to say something I have said for a long, long time?  Not in the "Look at me, I'm right!" sense, and not for my own justification.  I say the following because it is true, and because we all need to realize it. It is the key to the restoration of the Church:The only thing that matters in all of the doctrinal and political machinations that have abounded for the last fifty-plus years is the Mass. The Traditional Mass.And Francis knows this.The Traditional Latin Mass, in the Roman Rite, is the absolute bulwark of the faith.  It is the guardian of the faith; it is the result of the faith, it is the embodiment of the faith. It is Tradition handed down.In case of emergency, break glass and read Quo Primum. Study it. Be ready to use it. And pray.And the Lord said: Simon, Simon, behold Satan hath desired to have you, that he may sift you as wheat: But I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not: and thou, being once converted, confirm thy brethren.  Luke 22:31-32
