I have been observing for some time now that many of the new (since the late 1990’s) parents that go to my SSPX chapel, do so because of their children and not because they are seeking the faith and truth. They believe that exposing their children to “religion” will make them good children (and teenagers).  In my long experience it does not work that way. The parents have to lead by example, really living the faith. Just going to mass for the children will eventually be seen by the children for the hypocrisy that it is. I saw the same exact thing in the 1960’s when the Latin Mass was the only mass and all the sacraments were undoubtable real. It was not long after that time that the children left the Church and took up the cult of free-love, contraceptives, abortion, divorce, and a life of being passed from one man to another.

It is happening again in my SSPX chapel. It is also happening in the SSPX community in St. Mary’s Kansas, the icon of all SSPX communities with schools from K-12 to college. It is happening in the SSPX schools in Syracuse, NY. All the girls from my chapel  that were sent away to SSPX schools in St. Mary’s and Syracuse, all came back wearing immodest clothing (pencil skirts, short shorts, bathing suits, tight jeans) and boy crazy, seeking or having “boyfriends” and “dating”. Setting a bad example for all the younger girls.

The signs are all there for the loss of the faith and the downhill slide to the misery of the 1960’s (“It was not long after that time that the children left the Church and took up the cult of free-love, contraceptives, abortion, divorce and a life of being passed from one man to another”.) It is already happening at a fast pace, three unwed pregnancies, and more to come.
Unless parents and especially priests wake up on see, the downhill slide will continue, it will be the 1960’s all over again.

Smacks of Donatism. Is everything only good and perfect among Resistance folk? Why pick out the Society only, Last Tradhican? (I wonder if the audience thought that the saints in those quotes were picking on their particular church when the saints said those quotes to them? And what does it matter if the SSPX is doing better or worse than the Novus Ordo, or sedevacantes, or the Resistance? I just happen to attend an SSPX chapel and I am writing about what I see happening and how it is the same as the 1960's. I can't write about the the Missouri Lutherans,  the Anglicans, Novus Ordo,  sedevacantes, or the Resistance because I do not go there.)

Everything written below was taught and practiced in the 1960's when the only mass was the Latin Mass, and yet like 90% of Catholics left the Church and lost the faith. Read again what I wrote. If one is not sincere, if one is indifferent to the faith, they will fall. I know many families that go to mass, and do many of the practices below, yet they allow their daughters to dress immodestly, go to the beach in bikinis, wear short shorts.... .  Those all are big signs that something is terrible wrong. "Not every one that saith to me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven: but he that doth the will of my Father who is in heaven, he shall enter into the kingdom of heaven" (Mat7:21). The reason why they will not enter the kingdom of is because they are playing games with God.
It is the 1960's all over again.

Who on earth told you only 1% of baptized Catholics will be saved? You made that up. And if you thought there was a danger of it, why not hand out Our Lady's Scapular, to which She promised the Grace of Final Perseverance, to fellow chapel-goers?

Why not preach, as St. Montfort did, that the solution to some of the legitimate problems you describe, is to pray the Holy Rosary every day, especially 15 decades if we can? As that great Saint taught, we cannot continue always praying the Rosary and always continuing in attachment to grave sin. One will drive out the other. Either we will stop praying the Rosary, or we will give up our sin.

Why not speak about the Eucharistic Jesus, His Precious Blood, His Holy Wounds, the importance of meditation upon His Passion, on devout participation in the Holy Sacrifice, on God's Infinite Love in remaining with us always in the Blessed Sacrament, and of how we injure His Sacred Heart every time we sin, and must be moved to contrition and sorrow for our sins in having offended so gravely His Infinite Goodness? I see a lot of blaming and finger-pointing, but no actual spiritual guidance or helpful solutions from some.

If we wish to be holy, we should frequent the Sacraments, weekly or at least monthly Confession, daily or at least weekly Holy Mass and Holy Communion, a burning love for the Blessed Sacrament and Eucharistic Adoration, and a deep love for God and neighbor. Love for Jesus Christ Our Lord, for His Holy Church, and for the Souls which He redeemed at the cost of His Precious Blood, must be the guiding principle of everything we do. As Our Lady of Fatima told, many poor sinners go to hell because there is no one to pray and sacrifice for them. So what we must do is Consecrate ourselves and all our actions to Our Lord through Our Lady, and strive to do all the actions of our lives for the Glory of God and the Salvation of Souls alone. We ought to say "Jesus, Mary, Joseph! I love You! Save Souls!" very often.

St. Louis Marie Montfort concludes, in explaining True Devotion to Jesus through Mary, “To appreciate the excellence of this motive we must understand what a wonderful thing it is to convert a sinner or to deliver a soul from Purgatory. It is an infinite good, greater than the creation of heaven and earth, since it gives a soul the possession of God... It may well be that at the hour of death a person who has been faithful to this devotion will find that he has freed many souls from Purgatory and converted many sinners, even though he performed only the ordinary actions of his state of life. Great will be his joy at the judgement. Great will be his glory throughout eternity.” (all
