Miss Happy Catholic Whistles Past The Graveyard
What Is She Putting In Her Coffee?
Every Once in a While, this Wolf does a survey of Clown Church. He finds it uncanny that people still see a bright happy future. With the Lavender Mafia taking to the streets (they already conquered the Schools and Libraries) and the Churches (Remember the debacle in St Patrick's in New York City some months ago... nah, nothing to see here... move along... move along...) and WW3 threatening to erupt at any moment, you might think people would be on a dung hill fasting.
But no, here comes Fluffy Miss Happy Catholic, skipping across Montana...
... "(T)here's a lot of good from previous times but all the good didn't stop in 1962... There's been a lot of good developments although ... Vatican 2 was a general counsel of the church; it did a lot of good for the church..."
(Hold My Beer) Miss Happy Catholic, please name ONE GOOD THING Vatican II has done for the Church. Just one. This Wolf will wait patiently...
She continues: "(T)time passes kind of slowly in the church. There's always craziness out after a council if you study the history following the other ecumenical councils of the church it doesn't all just calmly click in and go along like every implemented and for people to accept it and that's what we're seeing now so you gotta maintain that historical perspective.
She goes on to list some of the bad fruits following Vatican II: "Liturgical abuse, drop in numbers of priests and nuns, poor catechesis..."
But she informs us that: "(The) Council of Trent was pretty much ignored for like 50 years. People did not want to implement it. They weren't really excited about it. I mean, obviously, there were some that were but others that weren't. In France it took almost 250 years for the liturgical reforms of Trent to really be implemented..."
Some Church History, quick review:
The Council of Trent was held between 1545 and 1563. Quo Primum promulgating the reformed liturgy was issued in July, 1570. The pertinent paragraph: "It is Our will, therefore, and by the same authority, We decree that, after We publish this constitution and the edition of the Missal, the priests of the Roman Curia are, after thirty days, obliged to chant or read the Mass according to it; all others south of the Alps, after three months; and those beyond the Alps either within six months or whenever the Missal is available for sale." That does not sound like 250 years to me.
She continues: "I mean in Montana for one thing I mean it's we had a pretty liberal diocese for a while and there were some weird things that went on that I can remember but I haven't seen any of that since I was a kid. It's been gone for a long time and the priests that are coming out of the seminaries now tare excited about liturgy. They're reverent, really applying themselves, pious and better formed than in years past. I think the seminaries kicked things up a notch too so there's a lot of reason to be hopeful. And to just look around and give credit to the progress that's been made on that front..."
Yes, in retrospect, the Clown Shows and Dancing Girls of the 1970's were just psychological warfare so that when things "settled down" the "New Mass" would be reverent, and theology can just be damned...
"They really did freak out a lot of just normal faithful Catholics that were trying to make sense of why all of a sudden our churches were getting ripped apart and their priests were doing all kinds of weird things. I mean people definitely waylaid the council and they used it to further their own agendas, like liturgists that would go to parishes and say 'Oh now the church wants us to do this' and it's like things that the church never did decree but they were already kind of coming into vogue. I mean you'll see churches from the 50s that were built with weird architecture..." -Hold the proverbial phone. She is correct. The Liturgical Anarchy darned well predated the Council, but the Council was definitely a catalyst.- " and ugly designs and you're like where did that come from I mean if everything like that was the fault of the council why is it showing up in the 50s I mean I have a friend who said her communion rail was ripped out of their Church in like 1955. and so it's like somebody was already moving that way there was already a direction and then it was like when an opportunity comes and there's a change people just jumped on it and then it confused everyone they didn't know what the church actually said we didn't have access to the internet like we do now so we can go check sources and documents as easily and and a lot of people don't do that research for themselves and they just kind of take hearsay or what what their experience was even if that never and now we have a pope who's a lot different"- YOU AIN'T WHISTLIN' DIXIE, MISS- "from his predecessors... he has a way of rolling that doesn't sit well with everyone... " YOU CAN SAY THAT AGAIN, AND UNDERLINE IT. um so that is unsettling to them there's you know some prelates that go around I mean saying vague things about the homosexual agenda..." This Wolf wants to know what was vague about the recent proclamation concerning "Gay Blessings". "... and married clergy or you know even talking about legitimate changes.. " Such as??? Do tell. " ...that could really happen in the church but that Trads just don't like and so they kind of dig in they're like oh no we don't they don't trust the change because they are living it I mean it's it's hard to be in the middle of that you can look back at something with enough dust on it to go that's safe that's reliable it's in the books it happened it's the upheaval is over and I can trust that I can trust the previous decrees of the church but now it feels a little scary for some people to be on the cusp of that."
Thank you, SSPX for this piece of wreckage that was raised in your chapels but fled your dystopian psychological warfare, your lies, and your distortions. Thank you for making Traditional Catholicism a Battleground, when we should be able to rest placidly in the cenacle of Our Lady. Thank you for twisting a mind to the point where all it wants is Peace at Any Price, and cannot handle the Truth. Thank you, Archbishop Lefebvre, O Bearded One. Mission accomplished.
In the meantime, enjoy Armageddon, Miss Happy Catholic.
Our Lady of Fatima, pray for us. You are our only hope.
