    10-Year Anniversary of the Death of Patrick Henry Omlor (1931-2013)
    May 2, 2023

    Sedevacantist pioneer died 10 years ago today…

    In Memory of Patrick Henry Omlor
    (June 13, 1931 – May 2, 2013)
    Ten years ago today saw the passing of Mr. Patrick Henry Omlor, one of the earliest pioneers of Traditional Catholicism in the 1960s. A Texan by birth, Mr. Omlor died peacefully in Perth, Australia, quite appropriately on the feast of St. Athanasius, May 2, 2013. Like the great bishop, confessor, and doctor St. Athanasius, Mr. Omlor was not afraid to stand up for the true and perennial Catholic Faith at a time when the Vatican II Church was just beginning to take shape, eclipsing the true Catholic Church with its Modernist teachings and false new sacramental rites. Omlor was a devout and valiant Sedevacantist — or, as he preferred to call himself, an “Interregnumite” — who has bequeathed to the Church a rich treasure of sound and orthodox theological argumentation to refute the errors of the false magisterium of the Vatican II religion.
    “The Robber Church” by Patrick Henry OmlorFrom the very beginning, Omlor understood that the English vernacular version of the Canon of the Mass (introduced in the United States on “Black Sunday”, October 22, 1967) rendered the sacrament invalid, and he was the first to compose a competent study on the issue, entitled Questioning the Validity of the Masses using the New, All-English Canon (1968), with a foreword by Fr. Lawrence S. Brey. It stands unrefuted to this day. Other articles, studies, and monographs followed, including rejoinders to Mgr. John F. McCarthy, who quarreled with him about the validity of the New Mass. Omlor wrote 21 booklets and articles in total, including Has the Church the Right?, The Ventriloquists, The Ecuмenism Heresy, Questioning the Validity of McCarthy’s Case, The Robber Church, and The Sky Grows Darker Yet.
    Thankfully, all 21 of Omlor’s writings are still available in a single 392-page volume, entitled The Robber Church: The Collected Writings (1968-1997). Please see below.

    Biography and Background
    The back cover of Omlor’s Robber Church collection is graced with an abridged version of this beautiful quote of St. Pius X:
    Quote
    Quote These moderns, forever prattling about culture and civilization, are undermining the Church’s doctrine, laws, and practices. They are not concerned very much about culture and civilization. By using such high-sounding words they think they can conceal the wickedness of their schemes. All of you know their purpose, subterfuges, and methods. On Our part We have denounced and condemned their scheming. They are proposing a universal apostasy even worse than the one that threatened the age of Charles [Borromeo]. It is worse, We say, because it stealthily creeps into the very veins of the Church, hides there, and cunningly pushes erroneous principles to their ultimate conclusions.
    (Pope St. Pius X, Encyclical Editae Saepe, nn. 17-18)
    Mr. Omlor remained faithful to the True Faith until the end and was survived by his wife Mary Victoria, their ten children, and numerous grandchildren.
    Eternal rest grant unto him, O Lord, and may perpetual light shine upon him. May he rest in peace. Amen.

  • Thank you for the interesting post on Mr. Omlor! 

    It took the collective Church remnant decades to realize the authenticity of his claims.
    And yet many still view him as  a far right extremist. 

    I wonder how his Church militancy compares to that of Hutton Gibson? 
    "Some preachers will keep silence about the truth, and others will trample it underfoot and deny it. Sanctity of life will be held in derision even by those who outwardly profess it, for in those days Our Lord Jesus Christ will send them not a true Pastor but a destroyer."  St. Francis of Assisi

    I think with the passage of time, most Catholics have never heard of Patrick Henry Omlor.  Louie Verrecchio did a series of interviews with John Lane @ 2020, and he happened to mention his father-in-law was named Patrick Henry Omlor.  That was all he said about him.  That is how I first heard about him.

  • I read his work on the invalidity of the NOM, and it was quite well done.  Yet even there, he made no mention whatsoever of the Offertory.  I have a hard time undestanding why so many Traditional Catholics, even he, miss this absolutely crucial point.

    That's actually the greatest crime of the reformers and IMO clearly invalidates the NOM, even in Latin (without the faulty translation of the consecration of wine).  While the NOM removed most references to "sacrifice", if you look at Eucharistic Prayer I, almost entirely the Roman Canon, there are references to sacrifice and gifts.

    But even then those terms are somewhat broad and general.  WHAT is being sacrificed and offered as a gift? (gifts here is the Latin munera, the same as in the Bennyvacantist controversy)?  What are you doing by reciting the Canon?  Are you merely performing a dramatic re-enactment, making the Lord present by the "where two or more are gathered" criterion, and the bread symbolizes that presence of His?  Or are you actually PERFORMING the sacrifice?  It's not clear even from the Tridentine Canon alone.  Stopping there one might agree with the "ambiguous intention" argument from SSPX et al.

    But the Traditional Catholic Offertory explicitly stated that in the Canon which follows, the priest is offering / sacrificing the Spotless Victim (Latin Hostia).  Hostia is a technical Latin term that means a blood/animal sacrifice.  Alas it's sometimes watered down in translation to "Host" which people unfortunately came to call the unconsecrated wafer, by extension.  But, no, the Tridentine Offertory is quite explicit that the priest is offering the Spotless Victim in repration for his sins, the sins of the congregation, and the sins of the entire Church.

    So what did the NOM replace it with?  ... a Jєωιѕн table prayer, where what the priest (and people) are offering now is the "bread and wine", "fruit of the earth" and "work of human hands", so that they might become our spiritual drink.  There's no ambiguity here as per SSPX.  Here the NO Offertory is declaring that what's taking place in this "Mass" is an offering by us of bread and wine, from our work and our efforts, and hoping that in return God will give us some kind of "spiritual food and drink".

    1000% Invalid.  Zero room at all for ambiguity.

    Recall that any Sacramental Rite, for validity, must declare unequivocally the Sacramental effect, the intention of what it is that you're doing there.  This positively declares a non-Catholic intention.  God's response:  "Well, thanks for that bread and stuff, but it hardly suffices to satisfy for your sins.  Cf. St. Anselm's work Cur Deus Homo."

    Also, no amount of personal intention by the priest can override or supply for a non-Catholic intention in the Rite, and Leo XIII stated that the Anglicans, even after they had rectified the invalid form, still had invalid Orders since the intention of the RITE was to wipe away the Catholic intention and meaning of the Sacrament, so even with a correct form the intention of the Rite invalidates the entire thing, as Omlor rightly calls out in his reference to invalidity ex adjunctis ... though he inexplicably misses the Offertory, as do most Traditional Catholics.

    So, then, to make matters worse, if you recall the story of Cain and Abel, Cain is said to have made his offerings, munera in the Vulgate, exactly the term in the Roman Canon, but his are rejected, while Abel's are accepted and please God.  Why?  Well, one answer is that Abel had more faith?  I think there's more to it, as Cain's dejection sounds like he had enough faith.  What did Sacred Scripture say that Cain had offered?  Well, the "fruit of the earth".  Sound familiar?  Yes, the same thing the NOM offers, the fruit of the earth, the break.  NOM is in fact the Sacrifice of Cain.  It's replacing the (pleasing) Sacrifice of Abel, the Blood Sacrifice of a Spotless Victim (the Tridentine Canon) with Cain's "fruit of the earth" offering.  Coincidence?  I think not.  Done' on purpose.

    Now take a step back to Genesis, right after Adam's fall.  What was Adam's punishment for Original Sin?  God proclaimed that "cursed is the earth in thy work".  So the EARTH is cursed in his WORK.  So then why does NOM offer the fruit of the EARTH, the WORK of human hands ... that which God had cursed as the punishment for Original Sin.  How can something cursed by God as a punishment for sin suffice to make satisfaction for a transgression that we know that only sacrificing the Spotless Victim could atone for?

    Marie-Julie Jahenny said that Our Lord appeared to her and stated that those "who crucified Me" were planning a Mass that is odious in His sight and contains "words from the abyss".  Well, those who crucified Him are the Jews.  So could those words from the abyss be the words inserted by the Jews, being as they are Jєωιѕн table prayers, be those "words from the abyss"?  Almost certainly.

    Anne Catherine Emmerich spoke of the AntiChurch set up by the evil sect where they had bread but it was not valid, and those who received with good intentions received graces in proportion to their disposition, i.e. ex opere operantis vs. from a valid Sacrament, ex opere operato.

    Those who keep running cover for the NOM as valid, or possibly just "ambiguous", and badly implemented, etc. etc. ... please wake up.  AN ENEMY HATH DONE THIS.  Jews who via Communism and Masonry had infiltrated the Church planned Vatican II and the NOM.  This is their work and it's done deliberately to blaspheme and to mock God.

    You can put lipstick on this sacrilegous pig all you want, where like at St. John Cantius they have the chant, communion rail, veild ladies modestly dressed, priest facing the atlar, etc. ... but even with all that lipstick it's still a blasphemous non-Catholic pig introduced by the Jews to replace the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass.

  • Ann Catherine Emmerich ...
    Quote
    They were building a great, strange, and extravagant Church. Everyone was to be admitted in it in order to be united and have equal rights: Evangelicals, Catholics, sects of every description. Such was to be the new Church ... But God had other designs. ... I saw again the new and odd-looking church which they were trying to build. There was nothing holy about it ... People were kneading  bread in the crypt below ... but it would not rise, nor did they receive the body of our Lord, but only bread. Those who were in error, through no fault of their own, and who piously and ardently longed for the Body of Jesus were spiritually consoled, but not by their communion. ... I saw deplorable things: they were gambling, drinking, and talking in church; they were also courting women. All sorts of abominations were perpetrated there. Priests allowed everything and said Mass with much irreverence. I saw that few of them were still godly.

    Interestingly, this time around this particular phrase caught my attention in the above passave:  "People were kneading bread in the crypt below."

    Kneading bread sure sounds the "work of human hands" turning the flour into bread.

    I give you a WARNING. The disciples who are not of My Gospel are now working hard to remake according to their ideas and under the influence of the enemy of souls a MASS that contains words that are ODIOUS in My sight. When the fatal hour arrives when the faith of my priests is put to the test, it will be (these texts) that will be celebrated in this SECOND period ... The FIRST period is (the one) of my priesthood which exists since Me. The SECOND is (the one) of the persecution when the ENEMIES of the Faith and of Holy Religion (will impose their formulas) in the book of the second celebration ... These infamous spirits are those who crucified Me and are awaiting the kingdom of THE NEW MESSIAH.
    ...
    Many of My holy priests will refuse this book sealed with the words of the abyss.  Unfortunately amongst them are those who will accept, it will be used.
