From a canonical perspective, Traditionis custodes has never been true law. The entire document sloppily alternates between speaking of the 1962 Missal and the Missal “antecedent to the reform of 1970.” The Missal antecedent to 1970 (and on that point, wasn’t the Novus Ordo introduced in 1969?) is in fact that 1965 Missal, which no one seems to be interested in using. Do we know what Pope Francis meant? Yes, as an person, we do. But the mens legislatoris doesn’t refer to a single person or his subjective intent, but the objective intent of the lawgiver as an institutional figure according to sound jurisprudence. And keeping in mind that laws restricting the free exercise of rights are subject to strict interpretation (c. 18), it becomes pretty obvious that TC is an absolutely meaningless document and should be totally ignored. It deserves an award for most poorly written Church document ever.

If you include bishops conferences as vying for the award, the USCCB has issued some documents that are right up there.

BTW, I have received the honor of being blocked on X by the antipope respecter, whom I wouldn't be surprised if he were paid by someone to defend every word & deed of John XXIII thru Leo.

So, Pope Francis committed a sin against synodality. "I want people to choose, unless they choose what I don't like!" It's just like what he did with the Youth Synod, picking only young representatives who favored liberal positions while ignoring the many, many young Catholics who prefer the traditional Latin Mass. I'm aware of an entire young adults' association that, to my knowledge, hosts the TLM exclusively at their official gatherings.

Paul 6 nuked the Mass and put his hybrid Prot-Cathoidal Happy Meal in its place, permitting only agèd priests to continue to celebrate it, all the while shedding crocodile tears about being obliged for the good of souls to surrender the “noble ancient prayers”, because how could the poor ignorant slobs be reached except with a butchered liturgy designed not to offend heretics? So Bergoglio just went the same route in order to rid himself of the annoyance of real Catholicism. “Pope Respecter” is just one of the slimier wormtongues that swarm to protect the pervy-prelates of the abomination of the VatiTwovian sect.

So who, exactly, was Francis “constrained” by? I don't think it was by a number of anti-TLM bishops. I think it was probably by those from whom he took orders, i.e. by either a representative of international Jewry such as B'nai B'rith, or else by one of their "buffer" Masonic assets sent as their messenger.

I'm reminded of Marlon Brando in Apocalypse Now telling Martin Sheen, who was sent to kill him, "You're an errand boy sent by a grocery clerk to collect a bill."

Bishops' survey my foot. My theory is that Traditiones Custodes happened because they saw the Tree they cut down in 1969 shooting up saplings from the still living roots of the Church.

Nip it. Nip it in the bud....

As a side note, Michael Matt made a video a couple of months ago (not sure if this is the one, but I think it is "CHRISTOPHOBIA: Ideological Warfare Against Christ’s Church") that showed clips of the American Jewish Council demanding the Vatican enforce the new mass of Vatican II, because the old Mass is antisemitic and Catholic laity needs to be forced to conform to the changes that were made in 1969. No foolin'.

"widened the gaps, reinforced divergences, and encouraged disagreements"

When did 'unity' get elevated to a be commandment? Does the New Testament even mention 'unity'?

What's so wrong with disagreements?

Christianity used to be about taking up your cross, embracing conflict, not avoiding conflict or seeking 'unity'

Unity in itself is not something good, it depends on what is united. Talmudic Jews & Freemasons are united under Satan - not good. Same goes for unity in the counterfeit V2 church - not good. But unity in the true faith, traditional sacramental rites, worship, laws & discipline is good.

KATECHON - The End Times.

On Monday, June 30th 2025, an announcement has been made by the agents of satan from the Vatican about the advacement of the evil work for the Katechon [Papacy|Pope - 2 Thessalonians 2:6,7] to be taken out of the way via the diabolical "synodality" [satanodality] which will make way for the Antichrist to manifest himself & begin his evil manifest reign which is not far from now.

2 Thessalonians 2: 6 And now you know what [Papacy (nueter)] withholdeth, that he [Antichrist] may be revealed in his time. 7 For the mystery of iniquity already worketh: only that he [Pope (he)] who now holdeth do hold, until he [Pope] be taken out of the way. 8 And then that wicked one [Antichrist] shall be revealed: whom the Lord Jesus shall kill with the spirit of his mouth and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming .

The Papacy|Pope the highest earthly authority established by GOD is the Katechon/Restrainer (2 Thessalonias 2:6,7). The Katechon is an absolute block for the Antichrist to manifest himself & begin His evil reign. The Katechon has to be taken out of the way for the Antichrist to manifest himself & begin his manifest evil reign of three & a half years which will continue from his hidden reign of three & a half years. The total reign of the Antichrist is 7 years, 3.5 hidden + 3.5 manifest (Daniel 9:27). Note: Taken out of the way & not taken away because the papacy/pope cannot be taken away until the end of the world. The evil work of the diabolical synodality permitted by GOD which includes in its agenda the false decentralisation of the Papacy (false concepts of "first among equals" & "bishop of rome" & not Vicar of CHRIST & the visible head of the Church) is the work of satan via his False Prophet Prevost (P. Leo XIV) to take the Katechon out of the way for the Antichrist to manifest himself & begin his manifest evil global reign. From the start of the Church the "deep" anti-Church & "deep" anti-state evil combination exists on earth, for the mystery of iniquity already worketh (2 Thessalonias 2:7). It is restrained by the Katechon [Papacy|Pope] (2 Thessalonias 2,3)]. The coming out of the "deep" anti-Church & "deep" anti-state evil combination will begin once the Antichrist manifests himself and begins his short manifest reign. Along with the manifestation of the Antichrist will simulatneously take place the loosening of satan who has been chained in hell (Apocalypse 20:3), which took place from the moment GOD JESUS CHRIST died on the Cross. Apocalypse 17:8 The beast [satan] which thou sawest, was, and is not, and shall come up out of the bottomless pit and go into destruction. GOD JESUS CHRIST will kill the Antichrist, destroy the satanic new world disorder and end the world by fire on His final coming.

On 27 June 2025 the agents of satan from Vatican starting with the current Pope of the Catholic Church P. Leo XIV (Prevost the False Prophet of the end times) "approved" pathways for the implementation phase of the synod. The text, structured around four chapters, aims first & foremost to provide an interpretive key for understanding the implementation phase of the synodal process. From the introductory letter: “the synodal form of the church [false church (anti-church) of satan infiltrated inside the Catholic Church in the end times] is at the service of its mission [mission for the new world -dis-order reign of the Antichrist to offend GOD & lead souls to hell], and any change [revolt against GOD] in the life of the church [anti-church] is intended to make it more capable of proclaiming the kingdom of God [in reality the kingdom of satan via the Antichrist] and bearing witness to the Gospel of the Lord [false gospel of the Antichrist via the False Prophet Prevost (Current Pope P. Leo XIV] to the men and women of our time.” The evil pathways for the implementation phase of the evil synod will be available on Monday, 7 July 2025.

For there shall be then great tribulation, such as hath not been from the beginning of the world until now, neither shall be. (St. Matthew 24:21). This period will be permitted by GOD as a trial, purification & salvation for the elect & a punishment in this life & for all eternity in the torments hell for the reprobates. GOD wants total fidelity to Him which is only possible by His grace which comes only through His only Church the Catholic Church, which He gives ONLY & ONLY to the truly humble (not the false humility of the apostasy). The Catholic Church is perpetual in her existence & indefectible in her essential form. The Catholic Church is perpetually indefectible in HER ESSENTIAL FORM. THE CATHOLIC CHURCH WILL STAY IN HER ESSENTIAL FORM TILL THE END, NO MATTER WHAT. Catholic = According to the whole (not parts) - Catholic Doctrine, Worship | Holy Mass; Sacraments & Hierarchy. Acts of the Apostles 2:42 And they were persevering in the doctrine of the apostles and in the communication of the breaking of bread and in prayers. It is a sin of grave matter to partake in the sacrileges & other evils that have been & are rampantly going on in the legal structures of the Catholic Church. It is a sin of grave matter to offer & assist at masses & to administer & receive sacarments outside the legal structures of the Catholic Church.

This period of great tribulation [the manifest reign of the Antichrist] is close, but not from this year. The Catholic Church will be almost desolate during those three & a half years, but she will remain invincible and unconquered, for GOD, who is faith­ful to His word, has said that the gates of hell shall not prevail against her. (St. Matthew 16:19). It is at this juncture that grace will appear in all its grandeur and efficacy. GOD will not leave His Church a disarmed prey to such a formidable enemy. He will assist Her by invisible and visible means. The elect aided by GOD's never failing all powefull grace, will receive from GOD His Victory in this life and forever in Heaven. What a sublime spectacle !

The final coming of GOD JESUS CHRIST gets nearer; the end of the world gets nearer; the final victory of GOD who is Victory Himself & that which He communicates to His Saints gets nearer.

Apocalypse 3: 10 Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I will also keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon the whole world to try them that dwell upon the earth. 11 Behold, I come quickly: hold fast that which thou hast, that no man take thy crown.

tick, tick .. tick, tick .. tick, tick - END & an eternal beginning in Heaven or hell. The choice is ones to make.

Blessed be the one and only true GOD now and forever !

So you're saying, we're not to assist at any Mass then, we need to worship from home?

Leo is not the only precursor of the Antichrist, we had John XXIII thru Benedict too. And who really knows who is the foretold false prophet of the Antichrist?

Also, your comment could have been less than half as long & still said the same thing.

Considering how Trad Inc is taking to this like a Sharks to Blood in the water, I think what we have here is yet another Deep Church Deep Fake. Given his 20 years experience in the belly of the Conciliar Church, this Wolf finds it hard to believe that any in the episcopate- who are essentially the rabid revolutionary picks of Paul VI, JP2, and Pope Frantic humself- have any love for Tradition whatsoever. Now, they might have warned Pope Frantic that shutting down Tradition was going to have a massive impact on the Bottom Line, because a lot of well-to-do "Traditional" donors give massive bribes... er, donations so that they can have their bell and smells. I suppose that Pope Frantic decided the Satanic Pederasts are so well subsidized by the secular governments around the world that they could afford to give this portion of their income the heave ho.

At this point, 99.99% of the blather fueling the dumpster fires of Social Media is fueled by various levels of dis-info agents, because operation Mockingbird has many layers, like an onion.

The simple truth is that not one of these bishops have any love for Tradition. They are all sinister men with one aim, to destroy, were it possible, the very Gospels themselves. They play their various roles- some flaming liberal, others "conservative", in order to attract followings and then pit them against one another. And most of the time it works swimmingly.

Many good souls are alllowing themselves to be useful idiots for the establishment, because they think Bishop Schneider, Bishop Strickland, Archbishop Vigano, Bishop Felley, or Fr (insert YouTube Blogger of the Week) has the truth or is going to save them.

The Truth is only Our Lady of Fatima is going to save us from the Wrath to Come.

It is as we suspected from the Bishops who spoke out at the time, but with the evidence. Will Leo XIV do anything? Let’s see, and pray.

"Let your communication be, 'Yea, Yea; Nay, Nay', for whatsoever is more than this cometh of the evil one."

That's an injunction that goes to every one of us in every interaction and communication. If the very top has a problem with speaking the truth, that's a big deal.

When a revolution gathers sufficient powers, patriots are labeled "Nationalists" and suppressed by whatever means. In this V2 ecclesial revolution, the faithful are labeled "Traditionalists" to the same ends. "Principalities and Powers" are the engine behind TC, not the puppet popes who do their bidding.
