Would that that were true. But a look at what evil the current occupant of the Throne of St. Peter has done to the Franciscan Friars of the Immaculate shows that there is a great deal of resistance to the return of Tradition, and at the very highest echelons. It's going to get much worse before it gets better. My closest friend is an FSSP priest, and I get the distinct impression from him that he and his brothers feel the Sword of Damacles (read: Bergoglio) hanging over their heads.

A very close family friend lives in an area where only one independent trad chapel was available until recently, and he has attended this chapel for close to 20 years. He began making the Chartres pilgrimage 6 years ago, and every year since, and has come to know the FSSP priests who travel from many areas for this pilgrimage. He holds them in the highest regard, which is remarkable considering his background. To the excerpt above, he has stated repeatedly that the Fraternity are very concerned about their future since the election.

Cosmos, it would be very interesting to hear your thoughts on this work.

Cosmos, let this sink in real good...

First off: Welcome to the forum, sir.

Would that that were true. But a look at what evil the current occupant of the Throne of St. Peter has done to the Franciscan Friars of the Immaculate shows that there is a great deal of resistance to the return of Tradition, and at the very highest echelons. It's going to get much worse before it gets better. My closest friend is an FSSP priest, and I get the distinct impression from him that he and his brothers feel the Sword of Damacles (read: Bergoglio) hanging over their heads.

And, as an aside, I think one of the worst things wrought by Summorum Pontificuм (perhaps worse than any good that was done) was the introduction of the phrase "Extraordinary form" to describe what is, in fact, the Mass of Ages; the true and only Rite of Mass of the Latin Church, as codified in perpetuity by Pope St. Pius V in Quo Primum. The notion that a scripted, Protestantized liturgy, fabricated by a Freemason with the help of Protestant heretics, and never legally promulgated, could ever be an "ordinary" or "normative" form of Mass is utterly absurd and, frankly, repugnant.

A book I would strongly recommend hunting down (if you're able) would be The Great Sacrilege by Fr. James Wathen. It's the first critique of the Novus Ordo ever published (at least in English), and shows an insightfulness and prescience that, considering it was written all the way back in 1971, is all but prophetic.

Lighthouse, I believe 'EF' refers to 'extraordinary form', is that correct Cosmos?

Thanks for giving me credit for being that stupid.

(Just in case sarcasm eludes you completely you might want to consider taking a less literal approach to life).

When it comes to matters concerning God and the Holy Faith, I do tend towards a shoot-between-the-eyes approach.

(By the way, I don't see that the OP has deigned to answer my questions).
