I agree with Michael Matt that..."Vatican ll was a coming out party for the Modernists."

But.... I'm not sure that I agree with his view (in the video) that the pontificate of Francis is over, or that the revolution has failed, or that people are done with the revolution. From what he says in the video, it does seem that some of the people there, that he has talked to, have caused him to see the situation this way. But those people that he has talked to, who seem to give him hope, have no control over the situation of modernism in the conciliar church.

It seems obvious to me that Modernism is just as strong as ever, and even more so than it was under Benedict. At the supposed "Abuse Synod," it's obvious that the Bishops and Cardinals there do not care at all about the real problem, and they are not going to change their view. Modernists who wallow in the ɧoɱosɛҳųαƖ subculture do not care about anything except their cushy lifestyle, and supporting others of their inclination. They are not going to change.

That's why it's ridiculous for the SSPX to even consider reconciling with Modernists who don't care about true Catholicism at all. Modernists are NOT going to change. Especially the ɧoɱosɛҳųαƖ Modernists, of which there are so many in the conciliar church.

Meh.  He still thinks being a "Traditional Catholic" is just about going to the Latin Mass.  He still has a long way to go.

I'm a bit startled at this remark.  Did you view the video?  Matt was actually decrying the moral disaster that has come to define V2, and he is utterly fed up with it.  Rarely do I go to bat for Michael Matt.  But your disappointing post maligns the man unfairly, and misrepresents his presentation on this video.  We can point to a lot of trads who are totally preoccupied with the LM. And most of them are not followers of Matt.  No, many of them, I would say, are tied to groups like the SSPX

Interesting how he said they could not find a single TLM on their trip, whereas under Ratzinger's pontificate he said you could find some TLM's on side altars in the Churches.

I do not agree with Matt's assessment that the VII revolution has failed, and that people are becoming Trads in droves in response to Bergoglio. That is not happening.

What is happening is an unveiling (The Apocalypse) of the truth. God is allowing the world to see the truth about Bergoglio and the rot in the Church.
