FIDELIS MILES MILITIS: What We Have Lost

THE FAITHFUL KNIGHT

I am a convert to the One, True Faith. I am also what is called a Traditional Roman Catholic (or prior to 1965, just a regular, every day Catholic). But contrary to what you may have been taught, I, like most Traditionalists, am not a sedevacantist. I am loyal to the Magisterium and to the Holy Father; I believe that the Second Vatican Council was a true Church council and that the Novus Ordo Missae (Mass of Paul VI) can confect a true Eucharist when the rubrics are followed by a properly ordained Catholic priest. However, I believe that the massive destruction over the past fifty-one years has NOT been due to a misinterpretation of the Council’s documents, but is due to the documents themselves. I also believe that the Novus Ordo is grossly inferior to the Traditional Latin Mass (the True Mass, "the most beautiful thing this side of Heaven"), is Protestant in its orientation, and is grievously harmful to the Faith.

I support all Traditional Latin Mass orders (non-Sedevacantists), to include the SSPX, FSSP, ICKSP, and all diocesan priests who struggle to celebrate the True Mass under often terrible conditions.

Lastly, I hope all Roman Catholics who believe, as Holy Mother Church has taught these past 2,000 years, that there is Extra Ecclesiam nulla salus, take up the Cross & the Sword, and claim the title of “Faithful Knight.”

--I believe that Christ founded One Church, and that there is NO salvation outside Her.

--I believe that Irish monks saved Western civilization.

--I believe that the Crusades were a good thing.

--I believe that Islam is still the greatest threat to Western civilization.

--I will never apologize for the Catholic Church and Her mandate by Christ to spread the Gospel.

--I believe that at the Second Vatican Council (1962-1965), Luther won.

--I believe that homosexuality has devastated the Catholic priesthood.

--I believe that many Novus Ordo bishops are direct successors to only one Apostle, Judas Iscariot.

--I believe that Dante was correct: The floor of Hell is littered with the skulls of bishops.

--I believe the "Reform of the Reform" is a toothless dog.

--I believe that Communion in the hand, Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion, removal of the altar rails, and removal of our tabernacles from the altar of sacrifice, has destroyed Catholic belief in the Real Presence.

--I believe that Traditional Catholics are at war with Roman-Protestants for the very soul of Holy Mother Church....and We will win!

--I believe that Russia has not been consecrated to Our Lady’s Immaculate Heart by any Pope, and that parts of the Third Secret are still hidden by Rome.

--I believe that Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre will be raised to the altar as a Saint.

--I believe that if it were not for the Society of St. Pius X, Tradition would have died long ago.

--I believe that the Society of St. Pius X is the Marine Corps of Catholicism.

--I believe that the term "in full communion" is a sham. After all, per Rome, heretics like Cardinal Mahony and sodomites like Archbishop Weakland are "in full communion."

--I believe that the Republican Party is no different from the Democrat Party...and that they deserve each other.

--I believe that the U.S. Military produces the finest young men and women on the face of the earth.

--I believe that America has done more good for others around the world than any nation in history.

--I believe that our current Commander in Chief is a Marxist.

--I believe in the 2nd Amendment, just as the Fathers of our Nation did.

--I believe that the Death Penalty is a good thing.

--I believe in restoring all things in Christ.

What We Have Lost

Yesterday, The Feast of Christ the King, was celebrated throughout the traditional Catholic world (or before the late 1960s, simply everywhere). The Mass we attended was a Solemn High Mass, in all its magnificence and glory. The celebrant, and two other priests acting as deacon and sub-deacon, moved perfectly around the sanctuary, providing the faithful with the beauty of the faith rarely, if ever, seen by millions of modern (Novus Ordo) Catholics.

The celebrant gave one of the finest sermons I’ve ever heard. He discussed the meaning of the sovereignty of Christ’s Kingship over all, and how the Council (in Dignitatis Humanae) stripped away that sovereignty into one of religious relativism. He also discussed our current Holy Father, and emphasized the fact that this man on the Chair of Peter is, by his very statements, a flat out modernist, plain and simple. He illustrated the point with the Holy Father’s recent public remark that “…who was he to judge” when it came to sins such as homosexuality.

Our celebrant reminded the faithful that the Holy Father was the successor to St. Peter, and therefore God’s representative here on earth. It was his JOB to judge!

Following the Mass, the entire congregation had a procession for a few miles around the parish neighborhood, with Our Lord held high in the monstrance. This procession of clergy, choir and the faithful made its way down the main streets, in front of numerous houses on that Sunday morning.

But the saddest part of that spectacle, once so common in all Catholic communities, is that this city of almost one million people, with over 70% Hispanic Roman Catholics is this: Not one single person in front of their homes acknowledged Our Lord, and hit their knees in adoration and thanks.

And this, ladies & gentlemen, is what the Council and the “new springtime” has given us. Catholics who haven’t a clue who they are, or what their faith is. The Novus Ordo world is falling apart, and her bishops haven’t a clue as to why.

So what must we, the Traditionalists, do in such times? Continue doing what we’ve done for 2,000 years. Remain true to the Faith, to the Mass, and True to Catholic Rome.

“We hold firmly with all our heart and with all our mind to Catholic Rome, Guardian of the Catholic Faith and of the traditions necessary to the maintenance of this faith, to the eternal Rome, mistress of wisdom and truth. We refuse on the other hand, and have always refused, to follow the Rome of Neo-Modernist and Neo-Protestant tendencies which became clearly manifest during the Second Vatican Council, and after the Council, in all the reforms which issued from it.” -Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre
