Spelling again:
Fr. Paul SchoonbroodtIt is clear that a warfare is going-on within the SSPX, as well as within the rest of the church. It is clear that Father Arnault Rostand is not a non-partisan. The mask is taken out and since he conducted in the name calling game during this last Sunday's Mass at Carson City in falsely labeling "sedevacantists" the opponents to the regime of Menzingen could continue to up the antes. I would not be a part of such a game, because I am no saint to cast a first stone, however, I'd like to publicly ask the Superior General of the SSPX of the United States what he exactly means by "novelties". Father Rostand used this particular word to criticize the post Vatican church during his homely, however as a priest he seemed to have used "novelties" himself during this Mass of last Sunday, because he had skipped the Epistle, in going directly to the Gradual. Then after the homely, during the Offertory's silent prayer of Psalm 25, there must have been a sudden "speed-up" in his delivery of the prayers: It take almost a minute to go from the "Lavabo inter innocentes manus meas" to the last words of "Suscipe sancta Trinitas" 's last words, prior to the loudly said "Orate frates, etc.". Father Arnault Rostand said such silent prayers in just a few seconds... I am only a layman, but it appeared that our District Superior took short-cuts in the delivery of the Tridentine Mass. Perhaps priests may explain..., of may be Father Rostand was engaging in novelties by truncating the Mass of All Time. A sign, that the modernists within the Society intend to use novelties after their anricipated attachement to the conciliars.
One of the key differences in everything
Novus Ordo compared to the
Canonized Traditional Latin Mass, is the truncation of material. They provide
numerous "options" for the pres-byter to use, and in practice, it most usually
comes down to taking the shortest route.
This practice is quite offensive to God. Our Lady came to the shepherd children at
Fatima and told them they should not abbreviate their prayers. The Angel of Portugal
had also instructed them about that. The children had been shortening their Rosary
to saying "Hail Mary; Holy Mary. Hail Mary; Holy Mary..." Certainly, their intentions
were not evil, for they were saying what they thought to be the Rosary, only more
quickly so they could get to their anticipated games they wanted to play.
Our Lady also told them to not pray the prayers too quickly. How many even today
pay no attention to this, but rush through their prayers? This causes a loss of grace,
and tends to dissipate devotion. When said in a group, it causes tensions, for the
ones who have habitually done their prayers too quickly get upset with those who
are "praying too slowly!" And in other languages, it causes division, for example,
it's practically impossible to say the
Dios te salve Maria as quickly (in Spanish) as it is
to say the Hail Mary in English. So the Hispanics who say their Rosary in their own
language (because they don't know English) find themselves always behind, which
makes them feel marginalized or "not up to speed." To remedy this, some of them
take to rapid-fire words, which is possible, but it fairly evacuates the prayers of
their piety and devotion.
To hear that Fr. Rostand is making such a scandalous example, it can only be from
a spirit of subversion. He is not immune from knowledge. He knows exactly what
he is doing. I could most easily speculate on his intentions, but I don't have to. We
all know what they are.
He is using example as a means of effecting a transition. We have been here
before. How many worldly churchgoers praise any priest who "gets through the
Mass" more quickly than another one? These same worldlings would be entirely
miserable assisting at the Mass of any of the Saints of the Church! We are not
there to "get it out of the way" so we can get on to something more fun. The time
we have at Mass is an ETERNAL BLESSING, for those in Purgatory have no such
time any more, and only regrets for not having used the time they were given
more wisely.
And those in hell, as it were, regret ever having been to Mass at all!
(...It is only with deep repugnance and unspeakable disgust that I write words such as pray, Mass, holy water, and church. I profoundly detest those who go to church, as well as everyone and everything in general. For us, everything is a torment. Everything we come to understand at death, every recollection of life and of what we know, becomes a burning flame.4... -- 4. Saint Thomas Aquinas, Summa Theologica, Supplement (New York: Benzinger Brothers, Inc., 1948), Q.98, art. 7 – “in the damned there will be actual consideration of the things they knew heretofore as matters of sorrow, but not as a cause of pleasure. For they will consider both the evil they have done, and for which they were damned, and the delightful goods they have lost, and on both counts they will suffer torments.” [back to text]
