Hi Blogger Insiders,
Vatican II had put forward the guidelines for the New Mass. Now it fell to Archbishop Annibale Bugnini (a suspected freemason), to devise a new Mass. He, with the help of his modernist collaborators, concocted the new rite of Mass. The New Order of Mass (or Novus Ordo Missae) was then promulgated by Pope Paul VI on April 3, 1969 (Good Friday, of all days). Our Lord was crucified on Good Friday and now His Holy (Latin Tridentine) Mass was crucified on the same day. Today, the New Order Mass is the Mass that the majority of Catholics in the West attend.
The New Order Mass eliminated 28 Catholic prayers from the Latin Tridentine Mass. The objective here was to eliminate Catholic elements from the Mass making it more acceptable to the protestants. Six protestant observers were even on hand to ensure protestant sensibilities were respected (as well, they had influence and input on the contents of the New Mass). Hannibal (Bugs) Bugnini was in his glory day.

The New Order Mass has been a disaster for the Catholic Church. The Catholic theology of the Mass is altered substantially. Catholics don't know the Faith. Mass attendance is disappearing. Catholics today contracept, abort, and divorce at the same rate as the secular culture. The old Catholic saying, "lex orandi, lex credendi" (law of praying, law of believing), always proves true. How you pray is what you will believe. The New Order Mass has produced New Order Catholics.
New Order Catholics are Catholics who attend the New Order Mass. They are the conservative Catholics (aka Neo-Catholics). They are similar to modernist (liberal) Catholics in that they do great harm to the Catholic Church. New Order Catholics accept every novelty foisted upon them. Instead of kissing the Pope's ring, they kiss the Pope's butt, so to speak. Meanwhile Catholic teaching says to call the Pope out whenever he does or says something wrong. New Order Catholics have a taste for the New Mass and reject the Latin Tridentine Mass. Today's Catholics who have heard of the Latin Tridentine Mass are threatened by it. Some Catholics are vociferous in their opposition against the ancient Latin Mass. Yet the Latin Tridentine Mass is needed for the restoration of Catholicism. Here me now and believe me later. There will be no Catholic restoration of any kind without the restoration of the Latin Tridentine Mass. Period. The New Order of Mass has been extremely damaging for the Catholic Church. There has been a major collapse of Catholic belief and practice. The New Order Mass experiment is a failure. It is high time to jettison the New Order Mass before the Church becomes just a stain on the landscape.
Pope Benedict XVI called the New Order Mass a fabrication. He said it was a banal, on the spot product (which of course it is). Who wants to attend a banal, on the spot fabrication ever again, let alone every Sunday? I am a traditional Catholic. I no longer attend the 1969 New Order Mass of Paul VI, a Mass that isn't even as old as I am. Catholic tradition didn't start in the 1960's. It is 2000 years old. Catholics are to stand fast and hold the traditions (2Thess2:14). Traditional Catholics do this. Traditional Catholics keep the Faith.
I invite all people to become traditional Catholics. Traditional Catholics (the good ones, that is) have love in their hearts for God and for all souls. They defend the truth of Christ and are not intimidated by their opponents. Traditional Catholics are the modern-day Crusaders.
God Bless you,
In Christ the King,
