Traditional Mass

Two Great Witnesses

DVRodriguez2025-07-31T14:13:51-04:00

The Holy Ghost is the Spirit of divine Love and Truth. Two of His greatest witnesses are St. Peter and St. Paul. The Church brings God’s Love and Truth to the world, especially through the Mass. The Mass presents the true faith, love, devotion and reverence with which man is to worship God. We show our love for Christ by spreading His truth to the ends of the world and always remaining faithful to the Mass. He who remains faithful to God’s truth and true worship will be persecuted. May the holy Apostles help us be willing to suffer for Christ.

Great Pearl and Irrelevance of Novelty

DVRodriguez2023-11-20T08:46:34-05:00

False religions deny Christ and thus have the spirit of anitchrist. Modern Jews are defined by their rejection of Christ. Protestants identify themselves by their denial of the Church. This same pattern, of finding one's identity by denial or rejection, is found in the novus ordo liturgy. Many of its advocates harbor a virulent animus against Tradition, wishing to sentence the traditional liturgy to death. Revolutionaries long for the complete destruction of the old order, otherwise their revolution can't fully succeed. Traditional Catholics should not fall prey to identification by being against the new order for they have the most beautiful thing [...]

Resist the Cultural Genocide in Our Church

DVRodriguez2023-09-24T05:57:19-04:00

Ireland, the land of saints and scholars, suffered under Britain terrible persecution meant to destroy their culture. The main aim of the French Revolution was to de-Christianize the nation. Cultural genocide is the effort to eradicate a people by destroying their culture. The modernists did not want another Church, they wanted a different Church. Catholic tradition was destroyed not by an invading army but from within. Now, we must rediscover and reestablish tradition. Abhor innovation and have a holy stubbornness. Show you will not surrender Catholic Tradition (in liturgy, spirituality, morality, catechesis, etc.). We must be willing to fight for our [...]

Unchanging Faith and Mass

DVRodriguez2023-05-22T10:20:45-04:00

God commands us to believe an unchangeable faith. Our Mass reflects this. Any developments must always be truly organic, leaving the essence unchanged. It is absurd to say we can "never go back" because when you make a wrong turn you must go back and correct it; otherwise you only get further lost. Catholics who love the Mass of Ages do not suffer from a nostalgic disease. Most of them are young and never saw the Mass for it was stolen from us. The best way to live in the moment – and prepare for the future – is by holding [...]

The True Roman Rite

DVRodriguez2023-04-17T07:55:55-04:00

The Roman Empire's Fall sent shockwaves throughout the world. The unthinkable had occurred. Then God sent a holy man - St. Benedict - to revitalize a continent in darkness. The Benedictines most important work was true divine worship. Today another great fall threatens: the collapse of the Roman Liturgy. No one should dare touch its essentials, for fidelity to the liturgy is fidelity to Christ and confession of the True Faith. But we have witnessed a liturgical rupture. Tradition is the guiding principle for all Christian Liturgy. It is handed down, not artificially constructed. It originates from Christ and is guided [...]

Guardians of Tradition or Traitors

DVRodriguez2022-10-06T10:10:25-04:00

Divide and conquer is an age old strategy. It is frequently used in politics and now we see it in our beloved Church. The goal is to make groups disagree and fight with one another so they don't unite against the real enemy. A fictional reality is propagandized to vilify part of the group, a 'crusade' is launched against them, and people are forced to choose. As the president seeks to divide a political party, so certain hierarchs strive to divide traditional Catholics from the general Catholic population and against each other. Yet to advance forward, under God's providence, one must [...]

New Mass Amtrak and Coke

DVRodriguez2022-09-06T09:28:27-04:00

Why do we not learn from two colossal business failures (new coke and Amtrak)? The New Mass is not a "change" rooted in any apostolic tradition but an utterly new man-made rite of a committee's innovation. Despite hierarchical subsidies and elimination of 'competition,' churches with the New Mass continue emptying. The New Mass does not interest the youth or generate vocations. The Traditional Mass is the most significant area of growth in the Church, yet ecclesial leaders are now seeking to contain and eliminate it. We must persevere in the True Faith!

A Formless Liturgy is Unacceptable

DVRodriguez2022-02-21T05:16:53-05:00

Who could be so barbarous as to destroy his own past? I am angry at those who seek to destroy the Traditional Mass. They have not been satisfied by an iconoclasm in which ugliness reigns. Now they insist that their formless liturgy is the unique and only liturgical expression of the Latin Rite. I say a liturgical revolution is unacceptable. Yet a righteous anger is not easily controlled. We must have charity. We can be thankful for the clarity this has yielded: they are two different Rites which can't coexist for long. Heed the example of St. Francis de Sales, who [...]

Our Response Must Be True Catholic Obedience

DVRodriguez2022-02-05T08:06:25-05:00

How are we to respond to Epiphany - to this great manifestation of Jesus' divinity? We must [1] believe, [2] adore and [3] obey. This is the example of Mary and Joseph, the angels, the shepherds and the Three Kings. Obedience is first given to God. The star represents Faith, the light that comes from God. Then obedience is given to the human authorities God places on earth. This priority must be respected. Human authority can be abused; yet the virtue of obedience exists to conform our will to God's holy will.

American Kulaks and Catholic Kulaks

DVRodriguez2022-01-02T12:23:05-05:00

Communist Soviets vilified and destroyed the Kulaks. They made them the scapegoats for everything going wrong in the Bolshevik Revolution. History is now being repeated. In the American landscape, the powers that be vilify all those who yearn for what made this country great. These 'American Kulaks' and must be destroyed. Similarly, in the ecclesial landscape, modernists who hold power vilify all Catholics who love the Faith and Tradition. These 'Catholic Kulaks' are made scapegoats for the failed spirit of Vatican II. Reasoning with the revolutionaries' hatred and suicidal tendencies is not possible. This only ends with the destruction of the [...]
