From Conservative Novus Ordo Parishes to Sedevacantist Enclaves the chatter is about a letter Conciliar Rainbow Brite Cardinal Blaise Cupich addressed to his flock, suggesting that the "Communion Line" at the typical Novus Ordo Parish is a "Liturgical Procession" that should not be "interrupted" by people kneeling to receive the "Blessed Sacrament". Hey guys, , Mr Cupich is just taking the Spirit of Vatican II and The Great Renewal to its logical conclusion. Decades ago, Pope Paul VI reduced the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass to a Protestant Narration of the Last Supper and invalidated the sacraments of Holy Orders, because one certainly does not need an Ordained Minister to preside over the Conciliar Incarnation of Cramner's (Un)Godly Order. This Wolf has already seen the Clickbait from Taylor Marshall, Timothy Gordon, Patrick Coffin, and Anthony Stein, and expects all the usual suspects, from Anne Barnhardt and Michael Matt, to Bishop Schnieder and Archbishop Vigano, to eventually weigh in. At any rate, "Cardinal Cupich's" predecessors, such as Cardinal Bernardin, succeeded in demolishing all the bastions of the Faith and reducing the House of God to smoking rubble decades ago. In most dioceses not a stone remains upon a stone. Timothy Gordon was talking about the legions who will shame a person for daring to kneel for "Communion" at one of the Conciliar Abominations. Many people still want to desperately pretend these venues are Catholic, when in many places they would be better off attending the local Fundie Congregation down the street, where at least they might get some whiff of authentic Christendom, rather than being bombarded with the Social Gospel.
Even many of the partisans of Fatima, sadly, are beginning to lose the proverbial plot, because they underestimate the sublimity of Our Lady and her apparition. Rather than comprehend the Apocalyptical Winds that are now reaching gale force, under the aegis of expanding orchestrated wars, digital currencies, a morbid Smartphone culture, rampant Sodomy which parades in the light of day, institutional violence perpetrated by "Law Enforcement", and, as Gemma O'Dougherty gives witness, the abysmal and obvious corruption of the courts, they seek for consolation in the idea that Our Lady of Fatima was just foretelling a "Minor Chastisement", where we can light our Blessed Candles and huddle for Three Days of Darkness and then the sun will shine again, even as Protestants prepare to be "Raptured" so they can enjoy the show from on high. Such people would do well to contemplate these words of the Advent Hymn, "Rorate Coeli", taken from the Lamentations of Jeremiah: "Be not angry, O Lord, and remember no longer our iniquity: behold the city of the Holy One is become a desert: Sion is become a desert: Jerusalem is desolate: the house of thy sanctification and of thy glory, where our fathers praised thee. We have sinned and are become as one that is unclean: and we have all fallen as a leaf, and our iniquities like the wind have carried us away: thou hast hidden thy face from us, and hast crushed us in the hold of our iniquity. Behold, O Lord, the affliction of thy people, and send forth Him Who is to come: send forth the Lamb, the ruler of the earth, from the Rock of the desert, to the mount of daughter Sion: that he may take away the yoke of our captivity. Be comforted, be comforted, my people: thy salvation cometh quickly: why art thou consumed with grief: for sorrow hath estranged thee: I will save thee: fear not, for I am the Lord thy God, the Holy One of Israel, thy Redeemer."
Jerimiah walked the streets of Jerusalem saying: "Trust not in lying words, saying: 'The temple of the Lord, the temple of the Lord, it is the temple of the Lord!'" Just a little farther on, God says through Jeremiah: "Is this house then, in which my name hath been called upon, in your eyes become a den of robbers? I, I am he: I have seen it, saith the Lord. Go ye to my place in Silo, where my name dwelt from the beginning: and see what I did to it for the wickedness of my people Israel. And now, because you have done all these works, saith the Lord: and I have spoken to you rising up early, and speaking, and you have not heard: and I have called you, and you have not answered. I will do to this house, in which my name is called upon, and in which you trust, and to the places which I have given you and your fathers, as I did to Silo. And I will cast you away from before my face, as I have cast away all your brethren, the whole seed of Ephraim."
In like manner, many Catholics go about proclaiming: "This is the One Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church, and the Papacy is the Rock of Peter, against which the Gates of Hell cannot prevail!" But the Lord is obviously very angry with us first of all for trying to worship God and Mammon. We wish to partake of the Holy Sacrifice on Sunday, but when Monday morning dawns, partake of all the delights of the new Sodom, and lose ourselves in its bustle. But even more so, Our Lord is angry with his ministers for not only ignoring, but distorting, Our Lady's Holy and Solemn Warning at Fatima. The Great Reformers, especially Pius XII and Paul VI, have bleated that Our Lady of Fatima is a "Private Revelation" and "optional" while meanwhile trying to meld the Secular Workers' Paradise with the Kingdom of God, an endeavor doomed to failure. As the Psalmist writes: "Unless the Lord build the house, they labour in vain that build it. Unless the Lord keep the city, he watcheth in vain that keepeth it. It is vain for you to rise before light, rise ye after you have sitten, you that eat the bread of sorrow." Yet, with dogged determination, all manner of useful idiots refuse to acknowledge the obvious and toil vainly to build a House of God upon the shifting sands of the documents of Vatican II. They continue to pretend that all the vile fruits of the Conciliar Church, the New Mass and Sacraments, the Devotion of the Divine Mercy, the Luminous Mysteries of the Rosary, the endless commissions, study groups, planning sessions, committee meetings, and political action are somehow Catholic because they are sanctioned by what remains of the Magisterium.
Yes, this Wolf understands the importance for a Cleric to have an Apostolic Mandate. No bishop or priest can presume to administer the sacraments independently of the Holy Chair of Peter, seat of unity and cohesion for Holy Mother Church. St Paul insists that every preacher be "sent". Fortunately, Archbishop Lefebvre did have an Apostolic Mandate, and operated within the framework that was even foreseen by Canon Law, imperfect though that is. Alas that some priests thought the "crisis in the church" empowered them to establish a parallel magisterium, where they could conduct "marriage tribunals" and perform exorcisms. Alas also that the organization that Archbishop Lefebvre, the Bearded One, founded, seems well nigh determined to trample underfoot their legacy and inheritance, and succumb to the same hyper-obedience their founder condemned.
Recently, this Wolf was listening to an interview David Rodriguez had with Fr James Mawdsley, who was persecuted for not following Plandemic protocols, in the Spring of the year 2022. Fr Mawdsley had obviously meditated long and hard on various aspects of the present apostasy and was familiar with Our Lady of Fatima. But he too refuses to admit the obvious. He is cognizant of the changes to the Holy Sacrament of Ordination, but he blithely says these priests are still valid, but the imperfect form deranges them, especially the episcopacy. Anything but the obvious truth.
No, the days are swiftly coming where we have neither priest, nor Mass. The day is coming when the churches will lay in ruins, neglected, with the sanctuary light smashed, and the veil to the Tabernacle torn. (Well, in the Novus Ordo Churches, most do not believe in tabernacle veils, which seems to be a prophetic indication that the place is a Desolation, and the presence of Our Lord has fled.)
We will be left only with Rosary and Scapular, Baptism without the Exorcisms, and Holy Matrimony.
And, as Our Lady promised St Dominic, it is she, and not priests and popes, who will save the world.
I believe Fra Alexis Bugnolo strikes exactly the right note. He faults the 1968 rites as deficient in quantity and quality of graces bestowed within broadly valid sacraments:

The Roman Catholic Church does not frequently alter the Catechism of the Catholic Church. However, alterations can and do occur under specific circumstances, primarily when there is a significant development or clarification in Church doctrine or teaching. Here are some key points based on available information:
- **Major Revisions**: The Catechism has seen two major editions. The first was published in 1992 under Pope John Paul II, and a second edition was published in 1997 with corrections to align the English text with the official Latin version.
- **Significant Changes**: Notable changes include:
- **1997 Corrections**: These were primarily to harmonize the English translation with the Latin text. The changes were minor and involved corrections rather than doctrinal alterations.
- **2018 Update on Death Penalty**: In 2018, Pope Francis approved a change to paragraph 2267 of the Catechism, stating that "the death penalty is inadmissible because it is an attack on the inviolability and dignity of the person." This was a significant doctrinal shift and was widely noted in various sources including posts on X.
- **Process of Change**: Changes to the Catechism typically involve:
- Papal approval after consultation with various Church bodies like the Synod of Bishops or the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith.
- A response to significant theological, moral, or pastoral developments within the Church.
- **Frequency**: Given the nature of these changes, alterations are not routine. They occur when there's a need to clarify or adapt teaching in light of contemporary issues or deeper theological understanding. The rarity of these changes underscores their significance when they do occur.
Thus, while the Catechism is not altered on a regular basis, when changes are made, they are deliberate, reflecting a development in Church doctrine or a response to new insights or societal challenges.

So are we speaking of changes in doctrine or changes in pastoral practices?
