Author Topic: Do the Young Families Care About Doctrine? (Read 731 times)

I've noticed for years now, that the young people who were brought up in the SSPX (and in tradition), have not the ferver of their parents. I'm affraid that they no longer know why we have separated ourselves from conciliar Rome. Even in SSPX families get togethers, I hardly ever saw anyone talking about the faith. I don't think the the traditionalist of today, will be the traditionalists of tomorrow. I believe they will be replaced by others who will flee from the Novus Ordo in the future, that only those with a fresh experience of the horrors of the Novus Ordo world, will keep tradition alive.

That's a fascinating perspective. I hope that it's only a myopic view, though,
that is, describing a local phenomenon rather than a systemic one.

Since I can't speak from experience, I'll have to wait and see if others in
SSPX extended families elsewhere in the world can give their own testimony.
The world might be changing in more ways than I had anticipated before..........

I don't believe that is true in the parish I attend. I see many of the grown, married children with their own children attending weekly mass. Of course, there are going to be exceptions, and I don't know lots of people at my parish, but I do think many of the children are staying with tradition. It depends on how well they were parented, and taught the faith, I suppose.

Make no mistake; there are many, many people in traditional Roman Catholic churches and chapels who are little more than lukewarm about the daily practice of their faith.

The fact is that there are many people, both religious and lay, who have simply breathed a sigh of relief that they are out of the Bogus Ordo. That's as far as they ran; everything now is fine as long as it doesn't savor of Newrome's false ecuмenism.

Saints, true and living and real ones, have always been hard to come by; the problem we are facing now is that the pool of people from which saints can or will come is SO much smaller than almost ever in history.

'Staying with tradition' is one thing. Sanctity, in the truest and deepest sense of the word, is another thing altogether. The big stumbling block for so many people is that 'God has not called us to uncleanness, but to SANCTIFICATION." (The First Epistle of St. Paul the Apostle to the Thessalonians).

We are living in a time where separation from the things of this world and sanctification unto Our Lord Jesus through the example of the Virgin Mary and the saints has NEVER been more necessary and critical, and yet we are in a time where it seems that hasn't been happening very much.

So-called 'religious liberty' is definitely one of the culprits here. People are so used to being able to attend 'services' of their 'religion' anywhere and any time they choose. That means that as long as the younger generation of traditional Catholics are able to practice their Faith, they just want to be left alone to do so and will seemingly leave everyone else alone, too.

Unfortunately, that doesn't make for a very Militant Church, now, does it?

St. Anthony of Padua, hammer of heretics, terror of Hell, pray for us.

Immaculate Heart of Mary, triumph soon!

Sacred Heart of Jesus, have mercy on us.

You are so right. Our generation now, do not know conviction. They are used to toleration. We have to admit it, that toleration, not religious liberty, will not last. We need Monarchy and the Catholic church. I still see Chapter 12 of Daniel, that we are nearly without the true Mass.
