They put the “NO!” in “Novus Ordo.” An Inside Look at St. Silly’s Parish!

You may have heard of Traditionis Custodes (TC) which ironically translates as “Guardians of the Tradition.” It’s a Motu Proprio (a diktat, really) intended to be the first of several brutal steps intended to wipe the Traditional Latin Mass from the face of the Earth.

The Vatican’s plan is proceeding apace. Part of the plan, of course, involves a…shall we say…re-education of Traditional Catholics as they are forcibly repatriated with nearby Novus Ordo parishes. To help that effort along, we’ve instituted a new series of informative training videos called “TC-101.”

Our animated series takes place at a parish called Saint Silly’s. And believe you me, the good folks at St. Silly’s are as Novie as they can possibly be! Why, they even have built their own charming “Synodal Path” on the parish grounds! Click the video below and take the tour! At the end, you’ll agree that St. Silly’s is indeed a Vatican II architectural triumph!

See our entire series of videos (some of them humorous; some of them just tedious) at the Catholic Cyber-Militia YouTube Channel. If you like what you see, subscribe!

Did Pope Francis Wreck the Mass? No!

Three priests at altar performing New Mass. One has clown makeup.

The problems which plague the Catholic Church predate the rise of Bergoglio to the Chair of Peter by a generation at least.  Is the Latin Mass under threat?  Yes.  Is the Novus Ordo Mass beset with flaws and subject to all manner of abuse?  Yes.

Is it the fault of Pope Francis?  Nope.

Check out this very informative video by Michael J. Matt.  He lays out the problem very well…

Liturgical Gimmickry

Balloon masses.

Clown masses.

Hootenanny/Rock Band/Jazz Band masses.

Liturgical dancing.

Not exactly the same image as the description of King David dancing before the Ark of the Covenant, is it?

And, unfortunately, guess who was presiding at the Mass?

Hey!  Liturgical “Innovators!”  Know what might be fun?  How ’bout doing a Mass where it is a supernatural event wherein God Himself is made present (Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity) among us?  And everyone actually behaves as if that’s really happening?  Wouldn’t that be a novelty?  Whadd’ya think?
