When we had the Tridentine Latin mass worldwide, one could go to any country anywhere and follow and take part in the mass. Since it was stopped, that ability to take part totally has also stopped.
Why has no one noticed the biggest and most dramatic change brought about by discarding this form of traditional mass though – the very obvious and biggest outcome seen everywhere? The loss of people going to church.
Churches that were packed to the gills are now almost empty. When it changed, they tried to pander to people’s whims with all sorts of different style masses causing friction and division within what was once united parishes.
The ongoing results have caused disaster to the Church as a body. People have walked away from religion and sadly, those unable to recognise God and religion as being two separate things, walked away from God too. There has been constant in-fighting and division ever since where none was seen before.
It’s bad enough that what was once a Universal Church (Catholic) was divided and thereby weakened by so many schisms as the Protestant Church kept causing more and more divisions due to protesting about God’s laws preferring to pander to mankind’s instead.
They refused to acknowledge or accept Christ’s teachings in so many ways and still do. They are a mockery of all God asks of us, denying Christ, His holy mother and so much more, but now those within the Catholic faith are following suit albeit in a different way.
Since Vatican II we have seen much in fighting, disregard for God, Christ and works of the Holy Spirit in favour of bending to man’s demands and those of too many weak leaders.
Saints appointed in their hundreds yearly that aren’t actual saints in order to try and appeal to the masses and attract people back into the fold. Fake visionaries accepted and encouraged in an attempt to increase numbers with no real guidance, teaching or loyalty to God seen in any of it. It’s more about money, drama, false ways, division, superiority and desperation than anything of goodness, true reverence or worth.
Churches have been, and still are, sold off everywhere we look. Priests run off their feet as they try to run several parishes at once with no curates or help. There is a dreadful lack of priests and nuns everywhere. Since Vatican II, we’ve increasingly seen declining numbers of vocations plus empty abbeys and convents. Vatican II with its changes has basically caused us to see a failing Church that’s dying slowly year after year after year. What was once united and doing God’s will is now divided and doing man’s instead.
The results are easy to see with weak leaders and even weaker followers, but no one cares to look or notice. I said as a young child that Vatican II was going to be the start of the decline and death of the Church. I had no idea what made me say it as it wasn’t anything I even understood at such a young age.
It seems that comment was me being guided by heaven just as I have been all my life. Sadly, those words have been shown to be correct. All of the adults around me at the time laughed in a mocking way saying I was a mere child and understood nothing. My words were then discarded and ignored – just as all else has been ever since.
All one has to do is open their eyes to see this truth. My words have been shown to be correct as is easy to see for those prepared to look at the facts and what’s happening. It’s been happening for many, many years. So sad, but due to so much infighting and demands being pandered to, the glaring truth staring everyone in the face is being ignored and unseen.
The Church is dying and no one seems to care. People are walking away from God in their droves, but no one is recognising why. What is going on in the Church that so few recognise the problems, the in fighting, the many different warring faiths within Christianity all fighting for superiority when each should be fighting only for God and His glorification?
Each should be united as one, not divided and all teaching different things as they do right now. Every Christian should be obeying God and God alone, not following man’s rules set to divide and take away from Christ’s teachings. If people walk away from and choose to discard all God’s/Christ’s teachings to make up their own, then they cannot rightfully still call themselves Christians – so why are they?
The Tridentine mass was one that united people worldwide. It was one where everyone came together as one no matter what country they came from, lived in or visited. It was a time when God’s laws were upheld and followed before they were gradually discarded and replaced in favour of modern day demands. Churches were packed, people understood what was expected of them, they followed God and His laws, His wishes and were united in their obedience to and love of God very unlike today’s world.
Leaders are to blame, followers no better, as many used these changes to demand more and more be changed to suit modern whims, trends and wants no matter most of them being in the minority. I always said that by pandering to the minority, the majority would end up being lost. Yet again I was laughed at and mocked. Yet again those words seem to be being proved right. Heaven is trying to guide us all, but so few bother to listen.
People KEEP being told we are in a spiritual battle right now. A battle that’s been getting stronger and stronger. Good versus evil, right versus wrong. Unity versus division, God versus Satan, God’s holy angels versus dark angels of Satan.
We are in a mighty battle so few recognise let alone intend fighting in. Their very complacency is why Satan is presently winning. His fruits are being displayed everywhere we look. He is mocking every Christian today as he succeeds in dividing more and more people daily, in emptying churches, losing priests and religious as vocations are low in number despite the pretensions and false claims of Medjugorje and similar.
We are on a very slippery slope, but the majority of leaders don’t seem to recognise we are while those few who do and who try to warn us are being ignored, mocked and ridiculed. Satan is playing a blinder right now and all because those meant to be united and fighting him are divided, weak and care little about it.
It’s time every person claiming to love and serve God got down off their fences, opened their eyes, listened to the warnings, observed the huge changes very obvious and easy to see, started to question and changed their whole life and ways to start serving Him properly, loving Him properly, obeying Him and only Him. Do as God asks of us not man. Listen to HIS teachings and observe them all rather than throw out the pieces we don’t like.
If any of you, whether leader or follower is not prepared to do these things, if you prefer to make up your own ways, ignore what Christ asked of you, of us all, then it’s time you stopped pretending you are a Christian. It’s time you admitted you are helping us lose the spiritual battle and fight against Satan and all that’s bad. You need to accept by ignoring God and His laws you are instead helping Satan.
When you choose to walk away, do your own thing, protest at Christ’s teachings, when the Church as a body does the same pandering to whims of leaders or those professing to be followers, but who protest and demand changes, each is helping Satan win. Stop closing your eyes to what’s happening, stop pretending, stop being weak, stand up, be counted, speak out, stand up for God, fight for God, have courage to fight the greater fight.
Unless each and every single one of you does these things, the Church will continue to die, world disasters will continue to escalate and the badness we’re seeing infiltrate our world will continue to grow more and more and more. It’s time for leaders and followers to decide which side they’re on and if they’re prepared to truly love and fight for God with strength and determination, or if they’re weak, just say they are, but do absolutely nothing. Which are you – strong and loyal or weak and worthless?
