Jesuit Refused His Dying Wish

Father Hugh Thwaites SJ

Edit: the beloved Traditional priest, Father Hugh Thwaites SJ has requested in his will that his Requiem Mass be in the Immemorial Mass of All Ages, or the Tridentine Mass as it's popularly known.

It's unfortunate, it's terrible and demoralizing, but not entirely shocking that the Jesuits are choosing not to fulfill their brother's dying wish by burying him in the Rite he loved and embodied as a priestly victim. It's just the sort of thing that the Jesuits are known for these days.

Father is to be buried tomorrow, and he certainly needs our prayers for his good and our own, for we don't know wither he is now.

Here is a copy from Linen on the Hedgerow, with a person to contact regarding this injustice:

A number of you have responded to my message (below) expressing 'disquiet' about the fact that Father Thwaites' wish will be frustrated. I would suggest that you send a 'nice' message to the Jesuit Provincial at curia@gbsj.org His name is Father Dermot Preston SJ

There's also a petition at Juventutem London which you can sign.

Also taken from Hermeneutic of Continuity.

They have no fear of the Almighty. Heaven will visit His wrath upon them all for this.

What else would you expect from these petty, officious little bastards?

I'm not sure what year the Jesuits ceased to be a Catholic order - some time about 1968, I'd guess.

Please someone moderate this comment from "Dan", which is so out of line with the gentlemanly qualities of the late priest in question.

I share Dan's outrage at these frauds, sorry.
