I wonder how many Catholics & especially those on this Forum, know that during the Mass there are two distinct places where we pray for unity in the Church.
 
At the beginning of the Canon, right after Holy, Holy, Holy, we ask in the first place for unity; then after the Consecration and the Lord's Prayer we ask again just before preparing for Communion for unity.  In my mind, perfect placement for these prayers.  Also, we pray at least three times to Christ 'who lives with God the Father in the unity of the Holy Spirit,...'

How many people just gloss over these words without really praying them?  I honestly believe that most people at Mass are just reading words & not letting them soak in & really praying, if they're even following along at all.  Could this be the reason why God is not giving us unity?  We're not asking for it!  We're just glossing over the words with absolutely no heart.

We have the deposit of faith in the Creed.  Sedevacantism, Fatima, and other visions are all personal opinions and should have no bearing where we go to Mass.  So we now have the spectacle of Catholics fighting Catholics instead of the enemy.  The SSPX is in one corner, the CMRI in another, with the Indults in yet another and on and on it goes.  Many people have had their faith sorely tried and some have even lost the faith because of all this nonsense.  

We all need to pray those prayers of unity with all our heart and soul and maybe then God will hear and answer our prayers.

I cannot be so careless as to say that NONE of these issues (sede, indult, etc) matter, but I WILL most definitely agree that the solution to the problems we face is NOT figuring out doctrines.

Let me repeat that: The solution we seek is NOT figuring out doctrines.

The ONLY, ONLY, ONLY, ONLY (I can't say it enough) way for the Church to regain Her rightful place in the order of things is for Her children to become the saints we are called and commanded to be.

There is NOTHING in world more powerful than Our Lord Jesus Christ and His Church. Nothing.

There are no weapons that can fell the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, there are no soldiers who can be more valiant than the foot-soldiers of Our Lady, who war against the enemy of souls with Her most holy Rosary.

I insist that the man pretending to be the Bishop of Rome is apostate from the Faith and has been since his ordination as a priest, which never should have taken place.

I insist that the Novus Ordo Missae is a travesty of false ecuмenism and is harmful to souls no matter how 'reverently' it is used.

No matter WHAT I or anyone else insists, however, there are things which CANNOT be controverted. There are FACTS which cannot be spoken against.

They are:

That there is ONE, HOLY, CATHOLIC and APOSTOLIC CHURCH on Earth, founded by Our Lord Jesus Christ the King Himself.

That this Church is immutable, irreformable and immaculate; and that She ALONE is the repository of the Christian Faith and all that is pertinent to salvation and the duties of man to that end.

That this Church, inviolate and alone the benefactress of the protection of Our Lord and His Mother, is being slandered, persecuted and victimized by calumny and every sort of base and evil whim of wicked, sinful men.

That those who have held to Her Traditions before are sworn to do so now and always, and that we shall sanctify ourselves ONLY to THIS CHURCH, and NOT to the pretended ordinances of those who would gainsay Her infallible decrees.

So help us Almighty God, we WILL maintain the Faith of our fathers and ancestors inviolate, whole and entire until the day that Our Lord's judgment of the heretic pretenders to the See of Rome is rendered and there is once again a shaking of the nations, as Almighty God prophesied.

O Mary, conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to thee.

St. Anthony of Padua, hammer of heretics, terror of Hell, pray for us.

Immaculate Heart of Mary, triumph soon.

Sacred Heart of Jesus, have mercy on us.

Good point, Thorn.

I completely agree with you. So does Archbishop LeFebvre, as you can see in my signature.
