From an article written in 2005
More on the Life of Patrick Henry Omlor
"Storm warnings were everywhere and yet few saw what Patrick so clearly perceived. While he continued to work as Total Consultant and Operations Research Practitioner at the Western Australia Division of the Pittsburgh-based Aluminum Company - a position he retained until his retirement in 1993 - he realized why God had guided him towards the religious life in his younger years. He had a vocation to inform others of the dangers to the Holy Faith. He embraced this mission with fervor, editing the newsletter Interdum and contributing to other newsletters such as the Society of Traditional Roman Catholics and Father Kevin Vaillancourt's The Catholic Voice.

Preparing a compilation of his articles, he produced a book that is must-reading for every concerned Catholic. He called it The Robber Church and it has become his signature work. Patrick was one of the first to identify the elimination of "pro multis" and the removal of "mysterium fidei" from the mandatory and necessary words for confection of the sacrament. This also was emphasized in his work No Mystery of Faith, No Mass. He was one of the first to cite the Saints, Doctors and Popes of the Church as condemning the actions of those who had commandeered the faith and now sat on the throne in modern Rome.

Eternal Rome had been abandoned and Patrick, like the Crusaders did in attempting to recover the Holy City of Jerusalem, launched his own crusade to restore Eternal Rome. As early as 1969 he became at once both notorious to the New Order proponents and invaluable to those determined to cling to the Faith of their fathers. He released that very year his work Questioning the Validity of the Masses using the New, All-English Canon by Athanasius Press out of Reno, Nevada. Before Father James F. Wathen issued his irrefutable book The Great Sacrilege, Patrick's was one of the first voices to shout from the rooftops. Like so many of the early pioneers of Traditional Catholicism, Patrick knew he could not just sit back and wait, but resist from the beginning for the longer one waited, the more the enemy could dig in and become entrenched.

In retrospect we can see this and it should be a wake-up call to those calling for a "cease-fire" with the election of Benedict XVI. They say, "give it time and things may change." Meanwhile the devil in the details anesthetizes the lukewarm, conquering more souls because so many of the faithful are lulled into a false belief that Joseph Ratzinger is going to right the ship. It had no effect on persuading Paul VI to abandon his course toward perdition; it did no good during Karol Wojtyla's 26 years in charge of the demolition of the True Faith. So why would they think it will be any different under the fifth man to occupy the chair since the death of Pope Pius XII? This is all the more highly improbable considering Ratzinger was one of the original periti and he is the very one who introduced the infamous and deadly "subsistit in" in the Lumen Gentium Vatican II docuмent which, in effect and fact, signaled the formulation of a new church and the abandonment of the One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church.

Patrick has also shown how the United States government - long before the chaos of the 20th century exploded - undermined the Faith. He presents in his book The Phantom Fourteenth the rock-solid facts that the Fourteenth Amendment is unconstitutional and has been the portal which has paved the way for the legalization of abortion, same-sex marriages, violation of States' rights and other machinations that has produced the judicial tyranny we have today. Omlor presented an interesting review of the historical purpose of this amendment which dovetails the same reasons Hertz brought up for the underlying reasons of the cινιℓ ωαr. The anti-Catholic bias is evident and the legally impotent "right of privacy" has been maneuvered to protect every aberration possible with one exception - Catholic truth.

And Catholic truth is what Patrick has always endeavored to convey with as much clarity as possible, fulfilling his second vocation to be a beacon for generations to come in upholding the infrangible Truths and Traditions of Holy Mother Church as handed down and preserved from Saint Peter through Pius XII.

While another Patrick Henry may not have been committed to the Catholic cause, this Patrick Henry Omlor would say regarding the True Faith in resisting the oppression of the conciliar church, "Is life so dear or peace so sweet as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take, but as for me, give me liberty, or give me death!" Patrick has fought for "the freedom and exaltation of Holy Mother Church" and would willingly give his life for his Lord and Savior and the salvation of souls which has turned into his life's work. From the sparce necessities of the depression to the opulence of these modern times, Patrick has remained steady and focused on the true goal: eternal life for himself, his family and so many souls trapped in the labryinth of lies and deception that have clouded hearts and minds over the past 40 years. In describing the feats of Patrick Omlor, we would also echo what the 1776 statesman Henry said, "We are not weak if we make proper use of those means which the God of Nature has placed in our power...the battle, sir, is not to the strong alone, it is to the vigilant, the active, the brave." Patrick Henry Omlor has been just that vigilant, active and brave for he has used his God-given talents and the weapons of Faith placed in his power."

OBITUARY - PATRICK HENRY OMLOR:
A TRIBUTE
By Patricius Anthony

It is fitting that one of the great traditional Catholic apologists should pass from this life on the feastday of St. Athanasius. For like the indomitable 4th century defender of the true nature of Christ, Patrick Omlor courageously fought the modern-day Arians who are just as, if not more, wicked in their designs than were their heretical predecessors.
While most of the Catholic "intellectuals" both lay and clerical at the time of the wretched Second Vatican Council went along (although some grudgingly) with the abominable changes which took place and those in its aftermath, Patrick Omlor among others such as Frs. Gommar DePauw, James Wathen, and Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre spoke out, wrote, and took action against the neo-Modernist juggernaut that would engulf and sweep away nearly all of two thousand years of Sacred Tradition. While their resistance to the apostasy, heresy, and errors of the Conciliar Church were treated with scorn, ridicule, and, in some cases, violence by family, friends, and the Novus Ordo establishment, in all likelihood, these men, like St. Athanasius and those who fought Church corruption in the past, will receive eternal rewards for their fidelity to the Truth.

As a gifted writer and analyst, it would have been considerably easier for Patrick Omlor if he had stayed within the Novus Ordo structure and wrote in its praise or justified its validity where he would surely have received pecuniary gain and accolades from the Establishment which is so bereft and desperate for first-rate apologists. Or, he could have become a neoconservative "critic" of the New Order like so many contemporary bloggers who criticize, but accept the Conciliar Church as legitimate despite the mountain of evidence to the contrary. Omlor's refusal to accommodate his views with the Conciliar Church certainly explains why there has been virtually no mention of his passing by these publications and blog sites.

Patrick Omlor, like so many of his fellow traditional Catholics, chose the more difficult and less popular road paved by the Divine Savior and followed by the saints and martyrs. For Omlor could not betray Truth and its corruption and abandoment by the den of thieves, apostates, and rapists which populate the Novus Ordo sect. Unlike the semi-traditional publications, bloggers, and Bernie Fellay's Neo-SSPX who equivocate about the validity of the Novus Ordo Sakraments, Omlor, from the very beginning, maintained their illegitimacy as can be plainly seen in this fiery passage from his must have compilation of essays entitled, The Robber Church:

Quote

Quote Let no one delude himself any longer. That ecuмenical organization out there with its lying propaganda organs all over the world, called euphemistically the "diocesan press" or the "Catholic press," or the "Vatican Guidelines" for this and that; that new Church with its cardinals and bishops dedicated to "interfaith," and with its faithless priests who think of themselves as nothing more than "presiders of the assembly" or "ministers of the word," and with its craven and bamboozled "People of God" robbed of their birthright. All that is simply not the true Catholic Church. No, that ecuмenical nightmare, mired in chaos, is Satan's own Ark of Perdition. Just as Pope St. Leo I rightfully referred to a certain bogus "ecuмenical council" as the Robber Council Latrocinium, so likewise what now confronts us is nothing more nor less than a Robber Church (p. 164).

Omlor will always be remembered for his most important and still highly relevant monograph, Questioning the Validity of the Masses Using the New, All-English Canon. It appeared in 1968 before Paul VI/Montini's New Mass was officially promulgated in 1970. Like Fr. Depauw, who saw the heretical writings on the wall even before the conclusion of the Second Vatican Council, Omlor anticipated and showed the invalidity of the "English Mass" before its final heretical version was thrust upon the Catholic laity.

In short, precise, and irrefutable argumentation based on Scholastic philosophy most notably that of the Angelic Doctor, Omlor clearly demonstrated the invalidity of the Canon of the English Mass. The monograph still stands as an irrefutable dissection of the New Mass which no Conciliar Church authority has attempted to answer. Moreover, its brevity made it all the more devastating and allowed for a wider readership (if only later authors' critiques of the New Mass had adopted Omlor's concise style they may have found wider audiences).

Nor has the neoconservative Catholic crowd come to grips with Omlor's thesis. Most still accept the validity of the New Mass, but cop-out personally by attending "Indult" or Motu Mess knock offs. Yet, even here there is no safety, for most of the celebrants of these pseudo Masses are not really priests, but presbyters ordained in the invalid new rite of ordination.
Not surprisingly, Bernie Fellay has been unclear on the issue of the New Mass. If said "reverently" and with the "right intention" it may be valid is the usual response from the Most Reverend Bernie. It is amazing how this autocrat could not only "negotiate," but be in the same room with the monsters who have been responsible for allowing this abomination to continue. It looks like in Bernie's case, "pride surely blinds."

Patrick Omlor's life was an inspiring example for those committed to the traditional Catholic cause. There can be no accommodation, nor recognition of the New Order only the goal of its complete annihilation and the subsequent condemnation of its creators, practioners, and those who have sought to compromise or "negotiate" with it. By following the heroic life led by Patrick Omlor and his uncompromising writings, traditional Catholics, with the assistance of Almighty God, will accomplish their sacred mission.

Patrick Henry Omlor: The Robber Church – Book Review
by Theresa · December 5, 2018
THE ROBBER CHU RCH
by Patrick Henry Omlor
The Collected Writings 1968-1997

THE ROBBER CHURCH
by Patrick Henry Omlor
The Collected Writings 1968-1997

"From the words of Father Lawrence S. Brey in the Foreword:
“In my Foreword (dated March 12, 1968) to Patrick Henry Omlor’s Questioning The Validity of the Masses Using the New, All-English Canon (commonly abbreviated as 'QTV') I spoke of a new era of darkness launched on Sunday, October 22, 1967. On that 'Black Sunday' the new, all-English canon -- produced by the International Committee on English in the Liturgy (ICEL) -- made its debut in the United States. It was, as it were, the 'et tenebrae facta sunt' of Calvary once again. It is now 1997, the 30th Year of Darkness, truly an unhappy anniversary, a tragic milestone.”
“In QTV the author demonstrated the ICEL’s destructive mutilation of the sacramental form by rendering “for you and for many unto the remission of sins” as “for you and for all men so that sins may be forgiven.” It was the 'pro multis' argument that is now so well known."

"Within a short time after the initial appearance of Questioning The Validity..., it would be found in the hands of priests and laymen, families and youths, all of whom, by the way, went through a great re-learning process at the time. Previously many of us hardly ever thought about or even knew about Quo Primum, the Catechism of the Council of Trent, De Defectibus, or St. Thomas’s Summa Theologica and its discussion of the sacramental form of the Holy Eucharist. QTV became a handbook, a vade mecuм, for those who now hoped to expose and inform others about the ICEL’s forgery of Christ’s Words in the wine-consecration.”

“It should be kept in mind that QTV, Omlor’s early pamphlet Has The Church The Right?, and the majority of the issues of his journal Interdum dealt with the 'pro multis' invalidity problem in the all-English Canon of October 1967. It was not until about eighteen months later (April 1969) that Paul VI promulgated his Novus Ordo Missae (New Order of the Mass).”

“In his subsequent writings Mr. Omlor addressed the invalidating defect of intention of the FRAMERS of the Novus Ordo Missae, based on principles laid down by Pope Leo XIII in his Bull Apostolicae Curae (1896). And in his recent short book. No 'Mystery of Faith' : No Mass, he demonstrated the invalidating effect of Paul VI’s deletion of the words 'the mystery of faith' from the wine-consecration form, simultaneously pointing out the inescapable corollary that a true, bona fide successor of St. Peter could not possibly promulgate and officially approve a 'Mass' that is patently invalid.”

“Perusing the pages of this Opera Omnia will enable the reader to trace through and analyze the assault upon the Mass and the concomitant tide of destruction wreaked upon Catholicism by the agents of the Robber Church. Doubtless this golden handbook of ad rem theological hammering will serve as an antidote against the damage already inflicted and continuing to be inflicted daily by the onslaughts of the Modernist Innovators. May it also serve as a beacon of light and hope by opening many more eyes to the brutal realities of the bogus 'New Mass' and the other crimes of the Robber Church.”

"More than twenty years later, we are now past the 50th Year of Darkness - an even more tragic anniversary and milestone has come and gone! Though Patrick Henry Omlor has passed into the next life, let the light of his research and writings shine through once again to a new generation of Catholics to pierce the veil and break the spell, for once and for all, of this unspeakable tenebrosity!"

Well, Mr. Omlor was definitely wrong about that, since "mystery of faith" is not found in the words of consecration of most approved rites of the Church. In fact, I don't believe it is in any of the Eastern Rites. It was in the Gallican Rite (which some consider to be of Eastern origin), but that was suppressed by Pius V in 1570.

https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/The_Catechism_of_the_Council_of_Trent/Part_2:_The_Holy_Eucharist
The Catechism of the Council of Trent clearly states the following about the Mystery of Faith:
#153
"The form of the consecration of the wine, the other element of this Sacrament, is, for the reasons assigned with regard to the bread, necessary to be accurately known, and clearly understood by the priest. It is firmly to be believed that the form of consecrating the chalice is comprehended in these words: " THIS IS THE CHALICE OF MY BLOOD OF THE NEW AND ETERNAL TESTAMENT: THE MYSTERY OF FAITH: WHICH SHALL BE SHED FOR YOU, AND FOR MANY TO THE REMISSION OF SINS." ^[48] These words are for the most part taken from Scripture. Some of them, however, have been preserved in the Church by apostolic tradition. The words "this is the chalice" are taken from St. Luke, ^[49] and are also mentioned by the Apostle. ^[50] The words that immediately follow. " of my blood, or my blood of the new testament, which shall be shed for you, and for many to the remission of sins," are taken in part from St. Luke, ^[51] and in part from St. Matthew. ^[52] The words " and eternal," and also the words "the mystery of faith," have been transmitted to us by holy tradition, the interpreter and guardian of Catholic unity. Of the legitimacy of this form we cannot entertain a shadow of doubt, if we attend to what has been already said of the form used in the consecration of the bread. The form to be used in the consecration of this element, should, confessedly, consist of words signifying that the substance of the wine is changed into the blood of our Lord: this the words already cited clearly declare; and therefore, they alone exclusively constitute the form."
