Caraffa, no offense, but THIS is what you think is impeding the traditional movement?
Those who correct the priest are usually those who think Rock Music is OK, no need for modesty/skirts/decent dress, think they can disagree on doctrinal points,
That our dress code isn't strict enough? If anything traditionalists put people off with their emphasis on dress at the expense of so many more important truths. It makes them come off like Mennonites and Jansenists.
What people need to wake up is the truth about the cօռspιʀαcιҽs of the last several hundred years and of the forces of Anti-Christ vs. God's Church. They do not need ankle-length skirts as much as they need the BIG PICTURE that will allow them to make sense of what they think are their random, meaningless lives. But the big picture is so grim and horrible that almost no one wants to face it.
This has the effect of a snowball turning into an avalanche; the more people decide to ignore reality, the more they all decide en masse, like lemmings, that they can reject God and get away with it, that it can't be wrong if EVERYONE is doing it. The few people left who remain in the faith then come off as absolute madmen, and this makes it even harder for them to convert anyone.
No, rock-music-listening sedevacantists are not the problem. The problem is simply that the devil has tapped into a vein of lies that have put the world into a trance.
Look at what we have against us -- competing anti-Christ systems of government, communism from the East and Church-state separation in the West; TV and rock music blitzing the brains of the populace; nonstop propaganda in Jєωιѕн owned newspapers and films putting the spirit of mockery and irreverence into the masses; an entire drugged, hedonistic culture for whom concepts of penance and sacrifice are so foreign you might as well be speaking Swahili.
What are we supposed to do to make people understand? If you are too tepid, or don't tell the full truth, you are a compromiser. I am someone who tells the full truth, or as much as I know of it, in all its detail and come off as incensed, which maybe I need to work on. My mom, my only convert so far, told me that I am like a jackhammer and cruel and that I broke her down, but then again, she DID get herself baptised and comes with me to Church... She does now see all the lies she has been fed all her life. My theory is that when someone is sleeping on a train track, and you hear the choo-choo whistling, you don't tap them on the shoulder gently; you scream.
Not everyone is meant to understand. If they wouldn't even listen to Christ how many will listen to us? I am not going to blame myself for this; I am not going to blame myself for not speaking as well as Christ, or for not combining humility, truth and justice as well as Him, because I am only a human and servant doing my best. I do not have the magical formula of parables in order to bring the elect to repentance. My "jackhammer" personality is all I have so it's what I use.
I have sought the kingdom of God and I genuinely try to bring people to the truth. I am no Pharisee and am squeaky clean. Well, they don't want it. In fact it is precisely the fact that I do try to live up to these principles that makes people uncomfortable.
They just make excuses; if you are Mel Gibson, you are a hypocrite, and if you are squeaky-clean and saintly, you're a prig. There's no winning with those who have rejected God, whatever you do is wrong, at least until they receive the grace of faith. I understand it very well. I once scoffed at religion myself, having been brainwahed that way. It takes a true miracle to save anyone these days.
