Sister Lucy spent the last three decades of her life in a Novus Ordo convent and presumably attended the Novus Ordo Mass every day. Why don't we follow her example?
Because, Traditionalists reject Vatican II and its liturgical and doctrinal changes. But Sister Lucy obviously didn't reject Vatican II. Not once did she speak out against it. I have just watched a recording of the beatification ceremony for Jacinta and Franciso. And there is Sister Lucy, adoring JPII. Do Trads adore JPII?
Whenever I ask this question, Traditionalists always say that Sister Lucy was under a vow of obedience. But if Vatican II was as disastrous for the Church as Trads maintain, then surely Sister Lucy should have discerned this and walked out of her convent, which she could have done at any time. What a message that would have sent to the Conciliarists.
Instead she remained and didn't once speak out against the disastrous changes introduced by the Council. And if obedience to her Vatican II embracing superiors was such a virtue, why aren't Trads obedient to Vatican II embracing bishops and priests.
If Our Lady did indeed choose Sister Lucy to be her messenger - and to announce the 'miracle of the sun', the greatest public miracle since biblical times - does this mean that Our Lady approved of Sister Lucy's silence on the disaster of Vatican II? If so, should Trads also remain silent? And if not, why not?
Some will say that Sister Lucy was a simple peasant girl who could not have fully understood the havoc that Vatican II was causing. But if she was as simple as that, and too simple to appreciate the devastation Vatican II was causing inside her convent, then why listen to anything she had to say?
Something isn't right about Fatima.
