Pray for the Conclave

Pope Francis has passed to his judgment. Whilst he was in the hospital, my Latin Mass community prayed that he would be delivered from sudden and unprovided for death. I hope you did the same.

Pope Francis was an unremarkable product of the post-conciliar church. Like most seminarians approved for ordination in 1969, he got through the process precisely because he wrongly believed that the pre-conciliar rites of holy Church had no remaining value for “modern man,” and that the Church is somehow obliged to alter everything that she is and does to accommodate “modern man.” At no point, do contemporary churchpersons feel the need to explain who modern man is or why s/he deserves accommodation. Like most Jesuits, he had no appreciation for high liturgy.

 

Pope Francis has now been judged. Pray and fast for the Cardinal electors that they may exercise their right to vote wisely.

 

This is our chance; the conciliar church is mostly dead. Pray and fast.

The Conciliar Church might be mostly dead, but they still control the money.
And he who has the cash makes the rules.
That fact might not be the pious tone that you are trying to set, but it is the truth.

The Church is by nature 'Conciliar' beginning with the gathering of the disciples at Pentecost. St Augustine, bishop of Hippo in Nth Africa, was involved in coucils of bishops all the time. That's how they did business. St John Chrysostom saind the Council/Synod is synomomous with 'Church'.
The 'Conciliar' Church is not dead; it is alive and well and. furthermore, it has nothing to do with money and a great deal to do with Christ and the Gospel.
