An Eastern Newchurch Presbyter
Simulates the East Syriac Rite
In the Traditional Way
Facing away from the Congregation
Francis-Bergoglio Is Trying to Force
The Newchurch Eastern Rite
To Face the Congregation
Following the Heretic Vatican II Anti-council
The Easterners Are Revolting against Bergoglio
And May Reject Bergoglio Entirely
And Go Indpendent
Just as So Many Pseudo-traditionalist Newchurchers
In the West Have Done
Since the Heretic Vatican II Anti-council
Far more virulent than the uprising in the Western Newchurch of the New Order about the Half New Order "Extraordinary" New Latin Mess of 1962 is that going on in the East, where the Eastern Newchurchers are in fierce revolt against Francis-Bergoglio over the Eastern Newchurch rites. It should, however, be pointed out that the Eastern rites in Newchurch are just as invalid as the Western rites. For further information on this topic, click on
FAQ10: How Do You Explain These Traditional Catholic Beliefs? in the TRADITIO Network's Library of Files (FAQs and Traditional Apologetics) department in the section "Eastern Rite 'Option.'"
From the Church?s earliest days, Syro-Malabar (East Syriac) priests celebrated the Eucharistic liturgy facing east (ad orientem), away from the congregation. They continued to do so during the period of Latinization, an era in which Western clergy also celebrated Mass ad orientem. When after the heretic Vatican II Anti-council (1962-1965), Newchurch attempted to turn around its altars -- now called "eucaristic dinner tables" -- many of the Easterners refused to change their traditional liturgy. Even when Bergoglio himself tried to intervene and impose a new liturgy upon the ancient Syro-Mabars, with the presbyter facing toward the congregation, the more traditionalist Easterners rejected his intervention and took their rejection into the streets.
In August 2021, when Bergoglio tried to enforce the non-traditionalist Eastern liturgy, the esteemed Newarchbishop of Ernakulam-Angamaly, six other Newbishops, and a growing number of presbyters refused to yield to Bergoglio, stating that his decision to impose the new liturgy "was not reached through proper, mandatory consultations, and transparent procedures" and was therefore "a cause of disunity in the Church." They then went onto a very public hunger strike against Bergoglio.
Yet on March 25, 2022, Bergoglio doubled down and ordered the implementation of the new liturgy. As a result, a melee broke out at the Newarchbishop's house and spilled out into the streets. When on April 10, 2022, an attempt was made to impose Bergoglio's new liturgy at the Syro-Malabar Newcathedral Basilica, 62 police officers and a commando force of 12 had to be called in to restore order.

Traditional Catholics, Francis-Bergoglio has attempted to intervene in the Eastern Rite revolt by acting as a dictator. He has put his "authority" on the line and been rejected by a large part of the Eastern Newchurch. He has brought the matter literally to fisticuffs. No end is in sight. The traditionalist Easterners may now reject Bergoglio entirely and go independent, just as so many Traditional Catholics in the West have already done since the heretic Vatican II Anti-council.
