Is Your Novus Ordo Mass the One Described by Bishop Schneider? I'm Betting Not!

I don't go to daily Mass these days. One of the things that impacted my decision was a description of a wedding a priest friend attended at a very conservative Lutheran parish. The groom, a widower and a Catholic was marrying a Lutheran woman whose branch of Lutheranism is the most conservative, even more than the Missouri Synod Lutherans. She wanted to be married in her church by her minister. They got permission from the bishop so all was in order.

A Letter to a Friend about the TLM Massacre in Knoxville

SSPX Chapel in Linden, Virginia decorated for Christmas 2024

I wrote a letter to a friend today, and I offer it for all my brothers and sisters who attend the traditional Latin Mass and desire all the sacraments in the traditional form. We are not rebels, we are faithful Catholics who desire nothing but to worship God the same way Catholics did for over a millennium which, according to Pope Benedict XVI, cannot be abrogated. Let us remain faithful and never despair despite the abuse from our shepherds. Scripture is clear. "Woe to the pastors, that destroy and tear the sheep of my pasture, saith the Lord. Therefore thus saith the Lord the God of Israel to the pastors that feed my people: You have scattered my flock, and driven them away, and have not visited them: behold I will visit upon you for the evil of your doings, saith the Lord." Jeremiah 23:1-2 Pray for the pope and the bishops. They have much for which to answer!
