  • Out of curiosity, I checked on Google Street View, and it appeared to be apartments.  In these times, we don't always have the luxury of free-standing edifices clearly dedicated to the Faith.  I would sooner assist at the Traditional Latin Mass in a simple apartment, than a dubious modern liturgy in the grandest cathedral.
    Amen! If I can track it down I will. Of course any Latin mass performed in Knoxville will be in defiance of the bishops orders. I would go if it was offered.

  • So recently I heard beckman go on about “ our creation” Our creation? I don’t know about any of you but I am a good steward of God’s creation and his concerns do not seem to be with the souls entrusted to him but temporal and worldly concerns straight from the green agenda. As the movement dies politically I guess it has been handed over to the Norvos ordos to be rekindled. Our creation! Loose language, dangerous theology. The rhetoric of the green ideologues has crept into the pulpit.
    But Catholics have always known: the earth is the Lord’s. We were given dominion, not ownership. We are stewards, not creators. To call the planet “our creation” is to blur the line between creature and Creator — a hallmark of modernist ideology.

    🕯️ The Vineyard Parable
    Christ told us of the vineyard (Matthew 21:33–41):
    • The vineyard belongs to the Owner.
    • The tenants are entrusted to care for it.
    • When the Owner returns, He demands accountability.
    How can one entrusted with the vineyard of the Church — the liturgy, the Mass, the supernatural faith — fail to preserve it, and then presume to speak of preserving the vineyard of creation? If stewardship of the liturgy collapses, stewardship of the land is hollow.

    🌍 The Green Agenda’s Language
    The “green agenda” often:
    • Deifies nature while denying the supernatural.
    • Speaks of “our creation” as if man is god.
    • Uses ecological rhetoric to mask political control.
    But Catholic stewardship has always been real: monasteries preserved forests, saints lived simply, farmers tilled responsibly. We did not need slogans. We had sacrament.

    The vineyard is not ours. The Mass is not ours. The planet is not ours.
    All belong to God. We are stewards, not creators.
    When the Owner returns, He will ask:
    • Did you preserve My liturgy?
    • Did you guard My creation?
    • Did you honor My Son?
    Loose language betrays loose theology. And loose theology betrays loose stewardship.
    The vineyard is betrayed. The Mass is silenced. The agenda is exposed. . And in light of all of this I just left Boston Massachusetts 6 months ago because I saw Knoxville had a Latin mass and because I now had to start my life over at 40 because I was replaced at my job by “migrants” I’m absolutely broken hearted about this and I don’t know what to do. I have just turned my life around, got off countless drugs, beat Protestantism, Americanism, and modernism after praying and reading and hitting rock bottom just to be kicked in the teeth by this change. 🤦🏼‍♂️ I suppose the answer is to fall in line. I still have not been to confession in 20 years. I’m hoping you guys can give me some encouragement and advice. I can’t move again I was all in on this move! I have to get back to the sacraments. I’m just completely discouraged by all of this.
    Welcome to the Faith!  My husband's family love in TN near Knoxville.  So, we have been in your shoes while visiting them...  The SSPX in Franklin, TN is the closest reliable option.  The only other option which I am aware of is a CMRI chapel near Franklin, TN:

    If you aren't able to make the trip to Franklin in general, perhaps you could at least make it for Midnight Mass or Christmas and go to confession to at least be in a better place with God?  And then watching a live Mass when you can't make it to Mass might be a good option. We do that when we visit my husband's family or are sick.

    Maybe I’m just picking too much. How can I miss what I’ve never experienced. I suppose a reverent Latin mass is not so bad right? I should just go and stop whining. 🤷‍♂️ I appreciate the encouragement either way. Doing nothing but worry is worse than anything. This was a kick in the teeth because Boston has a beautiful Latin mass and very good priest like the one in Lawrence. I thought I could get that here and beckman kicked me and the others square in the face.

  • Could be, but while trads are thinking they can influence the powers that be, they hold the line and keep marching forward as they have done for the last 60 years, into the pit.

    Did you happen to see the video from this thread? I used to serve Mass for Fr. now Bishop Ward when he was fresh out of seminary and what he says is true. It should give you some idea that they do not care one iota about the faithful.

    Also a great read is The Great Sacrilege, it's about the take over of the new "mass." A must read for trads, especially those who are relatively new trads.
    Ugh I’m scared to hear it stubborn. Haha I will take a look thank you!

    Have courage and just make the jump to go the Franklin if you can even if just occasionally.   I have a good friend who goes there (her husband directs the schola).  I don't think that you will regret it.  :pray:
