The Traditional Latin Mass, “The Mass of All Ages” is making a great comeback among Catholics of all ages.

Do not depart by one iota from traditional Catholic doctrine: Roman Catholicism is pure and unadulterated – as practiced from the time of Our Lord. In these turbulent times of sodomite and masonic invasion with the intent of destroying Christ’s Church from within, Catholics should always remain faithful to Christ and His Church, the true Catholic Church.

In the view of authentic Catholics, Archbishop Viganò masterfully expressed our current situation: “The Church of Christ has nothing to do with those who, for the past sixty years, have executed a plan to occupy her”.

According to Quo Primum: Nobody needs “permission” to use the Tridentine Mass … It’s already been given!

So, Keep close to the Catholic Church at all times, for the Church alone can give you true peace, since she alone possesses Jesus, the true Prince of Peace, in the Blessed Sacrament. ~St. Padre Pio of Pietrelcina.

What is the Traditional Latin Mass?

“Our Mass goes back, without essential change, to the age when it first developed out of the oldest liturgy of all. It is still redolent of that liturgy, of the days when Cæsar ruled the world and thought he could stamp out the faith of Christ, when our fathers met together before dawn and sang a hymn to Christ as to a God. The final result of our enquiry is that, in spite of unsolved problems, in spite of later changes, there is not in Christendom another rite so venerable as ours.” ~Fr. Adrian Fortescue.

The Traditional Latin Mass is also called the the Tridentine Mass of Pope St. Pius V;  it is the liturgical expression of Roman Catholicism. The Traditional Latin Mass has the power of conversion from paganism to Christianity, and radically different from the Novus Ordo Mass!

If you have not yet seen the Traditional Mass, you have definitely deprived yourself of experiencing the greatest Jewel of our Catholic Faith. The beauty, dignity and mystery that surrounds the Tridentine Mass leaves it standing alone as what has been described by the Saints as “The most beautiful thing this side of Heaven”.  Saint Teresa of Avila said: “I am struck by the greatness of the ceremonies of the Church”.

The Extraordinary Form of the Roman Rite

The liturgy of the 1962 Daily Missal is better known as the “Traditional Latin Rite” or “Traditional Roman Rite”, and since 2007 as the “Extraordinary Form of the Roman Rite”, a phrase used in Pope Benedict XVI’s 2007 Motu Proprio Summorum Pontificum to describe the liturgy of the 1962 Roman Missal.

“The Motu Proprio Summorum Pontificum itself, for example, while granting the celebration in the extraordinary form, demands saltem impliciter [at least implicitly] that we accept the Council and recognize the lawfulness of the reformed liturgy. This ploy prevents those who benefit from the Motu Proprio from raising any objection, or they risk the dissolution of the Ecclesia Dei communities. And it instills in the Christian people the dangerous idea that a good thing, in order to have legitimacy in the Church and society, must necessarily be accompanied by a bad thing or at least something less good. However, only a misguided mind would seek to afford equal rights to both good and evil.” ~ Archbishop Viganò addressing the Catholic Identity Conference 2020.

The “Extraordinary Form” is often described as the “Traditional Latin Mass”, which follows Pius XII’s reform of the Roman Calendar, after eliminating more than half of the Church’s Vigils, and almost all of the traditional Octaves. Annibale Bugnini, a Freemasonic member, was instrumental in the 1955 reforms of Holy Week promulgated during the papacy of Pius XII. Novus Ordo Church has gone so far that it cannot be taken seriously in its attempts to claim being the Roman Catholic Church founded by the Lord and His Apostles.

Since 2021, the use of the Traditional Latin Mass has been severely restricted by the “Guardians of the Tradition” – the Novus Ordo heretics, – and their document “Traditionis Custodes” is built on deception and lies, its content is incoherent, and it is aimed at the destruction of the greatest good on earth. In some places, they have banned the celebration of the the Easter Triduum — from Maundy Thursday to Easter Sunday, as well as celebration of all other sacraments and sacramentals — including the sacrament of confession — according to the ancient form.

THE MOST IMPORTANT about traditional – that is, authentic Catholicism … not just the mass one attends, but the theology embraced by the celebrant. For example, the Priestly Fraternity of St. Peter (FSSP) accept the legitimacy and “doctrinal rectitude” of the Novus Ordo, and consequently, must accept ecumenism with non-Catholic religions (condemned in Mortalium animos), religious liberty and indifferentism (condemned in Mirari Vos and Quanta Cura), conciliarism (condemned in Execrabilis),  modernism (condemned in Pascendi dominici gregis and Lamentabili Sane), communion in the hand (condemned as an abuse), patently phony annulments, the new catechism, and subjection to heretical bishops. “FSSP priests cannot condemn any of these things; Fraternity members purchase “official approval” with the coin of their silence” ref: www.traditionalmass.org.

“Is It Tradition? Ask No More.” ~ St John Chrysostom

Fr. Gregory Hesse, Canon Lawyer, Doctor of Thomistic Theology, Lifelong Friend and Personal Secretary of Cardinal Stickler at the Vatican from 1986-1988 gives a no-nonsense, intelligent, learned, and witty exposition and further explanation of relevant topics facing contemporary faithful Catholics in the following video.

About “UNA CUM”

The “una cum” phrase is a declaration of ecclesial communion with the reigning Roman Pontiff and local diocesan bishop. It is necessary for the Catholic priest to mention the name of the reigning pontiff as a sign of his communion with him and the Catholic Church as a whole, it is equally necessary for him to avoid mentioning the name of anyone who is not in communion with the Catholic Church.

“..which in the first place we offer up to Thee for
Thy holy Catholic Church, that it may please Thee
to grant her peace, to protect, unite and govern her
throughout the world, together with Thy servant
N. our Pope, N. our Bishop, and all true believers
and professors of the Catholic and Apostolic Faith.”

“Do not allow your tongue to give utterance to what your heart knows is not true.… To say Amen is to subscribe to the truth.” — St. Augustine, on the Canon.

“God is a spirit; and they that adore Him, must adore Him in spirit and in truth.” — John 4:24.

A Violation of Church Law Decrees of the Holy See such as “EX QUO” Encyclical of Pope Benedict XIV, repeatedly forbade naming heretical or schismatic clergy in liturgical prayers.

If they are the orthodox, and the true maintainers of the Catholic and Apostolic Faith, then by God, let us be with them and not against them. But if they are not the orthodox, and the true maintainers of the Catholic and Apostolic Faith, then by God, let us be against them, and not with them.

To lie in the Canon of the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass and actively participate in a sacrilegious lie that affirms the legitimacy of the false hierarchy, cannot be pleasing to God. According to the Catechism of the Council of Trent, this is a mortal sin against Faith by Apostasy, heresy, and indifferentism. 2-Thessalonians 2:12 teaches that believing a lie can cost men their souls.

It is not just the TLM that makes one more faithful, more holy, but it is the whole Truth of the FAITH.

Therefore, seek out exclusively the fully Traditional Catholic Latin Mass, Sacraments, Doctrine, and Morality.

“Now, therefore, in order that all everywhere may adopt and observe what has been delivered to them by the Holy Roman Church, Mother and Mistress of the other churches, it shall be unlawful henceforth and forever throughout the Christian world to sing or to read Masses according to any formula other than this Missal published by Us… Accordingly, no one whosoever is permitted to infringe or rashly contravene this notice of Our permission, statute, ordinance, command, direction, grant, indult, declaration, will, decree, and prohibition. Should any venture to do so, let him understand that he will incur the wrath of Almighty God and of the blessed Apostles Peter and Paul.” Pope St. Pius V, Quo Primum Tempore, July 14, 1570.

That was the true voice of Catholic tradition. Let us remain faithful to it no matter who asks us to do otherwise. Moreover, “Be careful. These are dangerous times. The devil would like you to believe that the battle for the ancient Mass has been all but won. But have no doubt. He hates the ancient Mass and anyone who has devotion to it, and in particular those who offer the Holy Sacrifice. Now is the time for watchfulness, for he will try to trick us. The time when success can be measured is the most dangerous time of all.” — Alice von Hildebrand, Latin Mass, (VIII:4, Fall 1999), p. 15.

O God, who for the overthrowing of the enemies of Thy Church, and for the restoring of the beauty of Thy worship, didst choose blessed Pius as supreme Pontiff: grant that we may so cleave unto Thy service, that overcoming all the snares of our enemies, we may rejoice in Thy eternal peace. (Collect for the Feast of St. Pius V )
