What is this aburd insistence on requiring a solution of human making? Both in this video, and from Bishop Roy? God is teaching us a lesson with this fragmentation about how critical the Papacy is to the Church. There's much prophecy about how it's only when everything appears (naturally speaking) to be lost that God will miraculously turn the Church around. Apostles all thought that all was lost after Our Lord's Crucifixion. So, because we need a solution, should they have gone to the tomb and started CPR? Even though, for all practical intents and purposes, you know it wouldn't work? Should they have gone to the tomb and try to raise Our Lord back to life themselves? Well, if they had to do that, then Our Lord's claims to be God would have been undermined, if He couldn't rise again under His own power. So, too, with this Crisis, it will be PRECISELY the fact that this turnaround will be UNDENIABLY MIRACULOUS that the entire world will be converted to the One True Faith, as much Catholic prophecy has foretold.
Yeah, OK ... we're not quietists where we lay back and do nothing, but we also don't start jumping up and down and stomping our feet about how we need a solution and then think by doing that we're going to get one either.
There's absolutely NOTHING WRONG with ADMITTING that A SOLUTION TO THIS IS BEYOND US. That's called HUMILITY, where we realized that we suck, that we're idiots, that we're sinners, bickering like a bunch of spoiled kids amongst ourselves, pathetic, losers ... and it's when we realize this and entrust ourselves to God that God will reach down and give us a hand. "Help us, Lord, we perish."
There's almost a hubris in believing we can work this thing out.
AND, finally ... so is praying, sacrificing, and becoming holy ... is that doing nothing? Isn't that the solution? Isn't that what Our Lady told us would be the solution ... prayer and penance, and not Imperfect Councils and garage popes that just make us look like the morons that we are. In fact, the Pope Michael and Pius XIII and Linus II, I welcome those debacles for making us look like the idiots that we are.
So, then, given how we preach constantly about the Tradtional faith and the Tridentine Mass being the keys to holiness ... where are the Saints among the Trad clergy? Oh, perhaps there are some religious or contemplatives or even lay faithful who are saints, but hidden to the world. But where's a Padre Pio or St. John Vianney (3 of whom the devil said would have destroyed his Kingdom).
So enough of the polemics and talk and theologizing and conclaves and stupidity ... we need saints. THAT is the "SOLUTION", and Our Lady handed it to us, along with the Holy Rosary in particular in these last days. God will take care of the details about whom to get a white cassock onto.
Yes, among many, many, many ironies of modern life is the notion that Trads can fix the crisis. It was this same notion that modernists used on 1960s Catholics, to usher in V2, which was supposed to “fix” the deepening divide between the Church and the world. As if a council can fix any of that.
Councils are good things and necessary but declarations of dogma and of theological truth can’t fix spiritual problems (which is why Trent didn’t “fix” Protestantism). So even if V2 wasn’t hijacked by modernists, the problems of the modern world would still exist.
So now, we have Trads using the modern/day “committee fix” which is the “answer” to most problems nowadays. Committees never fix anything. Neither do arguments. Prayer does.
I wish all these Trad groups would start preaching simple stuff, like 1) say 3 rosaries a day, 2) go to first Saturday, etc. Only Our Lady will solve this. I thought Fatima was clear??
