In other words, the allowance of the Mass of All Time is merely a nicotine patch to help trads like us slowly but surely cure our addiction to traditional Catholicism (a.k.a. Catholicism).

While the Mass is still allowed (for now), Pope Francis was clear that this is being done “to provide for the good of those who are rooted in the previous form of celebration and need to return in due time to the Roman Rite promulgated by Saints Paul VI and John Paul II.” In other words, the allowance of the Mass of All Time is merely a nicotine patch to help trads like us slowly but surely cure our addiction to traditional Catholicism (a.k.a. Catholicism). It’s not to obey Pope St. Pius V’s Quo Primum, which granted all priests the right to say the Tridentine Mass “without any scruple of conscience or fear of incurring any penalty, judgment, or censure.” Francis’s plan is to eventually ban all of the 1962 sacramental rites. 

Therefore, if this report is true, and the only place to receive the same sacraments as all our ancestors is the catacombs, then to the catacombs we will go.

We return the favor to His Holiness: our goal is that one day, the entire Roman Catholic Church will forever return to Her sacramental rites, doctrine and practice as it was before the Second Vatican Council and the revolution it came with. Therefore, if this report is true, and the only place to receive the same sacraments as all our ancestors is the catacombs, then to the catacombs we will go. We will stop at nothing to pass on the faith of all time through the Mass and Sacraments of All Time. Whichever priests are willing to suffer to feed us, those shepherds will have our support, regardless of their geographical distance or canonical irregularity.

We will follow the faith that the Holy See is charged with passing on, even if the current occupant has failed miserably at doing so. 

We will not be intimidated by charges of disobedience, rigidity, or “(doubting) the Holy Spirit.” In resisting Francis, we manifest our obedience to his predecessors, Our Lord, and nearly 2,000 years of Church teaching and tradition. We will follow the faith that the Holy See is charged with passing on, even if the current occupant has failed miserably at doing so. 

Francis’s fellow Jesuit St. Robert Bellarmine instructs us that “it is lawful to resist him (the pope), if he assaulted souls, or troubled the state, and much more if he strove to destroy the Church. It is lawful, I say, to resist him, by not doing what he commands, and hindering the execution of his will…” Therefore, rest assured that no matter what happens next week, traditional Catholicism is not going anywhere. We did not back down to the Arians, to the Eastern Schismatics, to the Protestants, to the French Revolution, or to anyone else, and we will not back down to the modernists.

Faith of our Fathers! Holy Faith!

We will be true to thee till death.
