Schneider says Let My People Go
Just this week, Bp. Schneider stated that for the pope’s sake, Catholics, bishops, priests, and laypeople, are to disobey “Pope Francis” and continue offering and assisting at the Traditional Latin Mass.
God bless Bp. Schneider for saying something. He misses the point though. In his interview, he never made the point that the TLM exists as right worship of God. That is why we assist at it. Teh Francis, and three of the four popes before him sought to replace this right worship of God with something as Protestant as possible (even if it is done reverently) according to a “hermeneutic of unity”* with non-Catholics. {I spit}
This is the primary end of the TLM: Right Worship of God. All other reasons (smells/bells, peace, ability to pray, the order of it, the reverence, personal holiness) are secondary reasons, features, or byproducts of the Right Worship of God. That’s what this fight needs to be about, and what these prelates trained in modernist seminaries continue to miss. God demands right worship as he demanded right worship from the Israelites in Egypt. He told Moses, the man with the stutter, to go tell Pharaoh, TELL, not ask, their slaveowner that they were going to engage in right worship of God.
Of course, it’s much easier to complete the logic of this situation when you understand that Teh Francis is truly an antipope and his every command is impotent.
