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…
This venerable old warrior for the Faith turns 78 this week. Please continue to support Abp. Viganò in your prayers.
And, while you’re at it…why not write your local bishop and let him know that you support Abp.

Balloon masses.
Clown masses.
Hootenanny/Rock Band/Jazz Band masses.
Liturgical dancing.
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?
