The Latin Mass is symbolic of everything wrong within the Catholic Church .
It is the foundation stone upon which those who reek of ‘the odor of the devil ‘ have built their temple of opposition to Vatican 11 and the reforms of Pope Francis .
It is the weapon of choice of a self serving power hungry clerical elite who revel in the indulgent pomp and ceremony of a service spoken in a language that taunted and ridiculed Our Saviour on the Cross. It is the chosen narrative of peacock Clerics who choose lavish garments and pompous theatre over humility and servitude.

It is intrinsically linked to the systemic world wide sexual abuse of children by a minority of clerics whose lust for power has no immoral limits .
“Sexual abuse has only one origin, [and it is] in the wrong use of power in our church,” (Bishop Franz-Josef Overbeck of Essen, Germany )
It is the heart breaking call to arms of those who believe that spreading the Word of God is best fulfilled by vilifying the ‘other’ and demonising the marginalised .
It fuels the fires of Hate, Intolerance and contempt of its fanatics in the Catholic Church who deny women their rightful place at the altar
and who crucify any of Christ’s beloved who do not kneel to their base, narrowminded, Loveless notion of human sexuality.
It is the cold shrill battle cry of a corpse bound Christless tradition that further empowers elites and disempowers the weak and vulnerable . It is the life blood of scoundrels whose determined soulless intent is to Tear the Catholic Church in two. It is the Liturgy of choice for those who lust after Schism within Mother Church .
It is indeed as Pope Francis tells us ” The Odor of the Devil ”
Peace and Love
The Lay Pope
“I may speak in tongues of men or of angels but if I am without Love I am a sounding gong or a clanging cymbal. I may have the gift of prophesy and know every hidden truth; I may have Faith strong enough to move mountains but if I have no Love I am nothing. I may dole out all I possess or even give my body to be burnt but if I have no Love I am none the better. Love is patient; Love is kind and envies no one. Love is never boastful nor conceited nor rude; never selfish, not quick to take offence. Love takes no score of wrongs; does not gloat over others men’s sins but delights in the Truth. There is nothing Love cannot face; there is no limit to its Faith, its Hope and its Endurance.”
1 Corinthians 13: 1-7
Manifesto for a Lay Pope 
👏 great article, really well written and extremely thought provoking. Having stumbled across a Latin mass whilst we in Dubrovnik I didn’t give this a second thought. I was taken aback by the sounds of an almost extinct language and one I hadn’t heard spoken in full before. Whilst the ‘sound’ of the language may have been awe inspiring I was blindly unaware of the schism happening in the background. The fact that something so poetic could be used as a weapon within the church is truly saddening.

I think it’s quite clear that the author is speaking with no knowledge of the subject. If the Latin rite is so evil, why did it bring forth thousands of saints and holy people. To hate the origin and roots of the Catholic church is to hate the truth and unchanged faith. It’s clear that the author is either not Catholic or holds hate for Catholicism and the traditions of the faith or worse…a modern Catholic who is all for changing the faith to be modern and accepting of sin. No Pope is free of sin or infallible unless speaking in ex cathedra. Pope’s have been wrong in the past, and yes, Francis is wrong about his stance on many things such as accepting idolitry and persecuting his sheep entrusted to his care. Pope’s and Cardinals are mortal men and are not free of sin.

The Latin rite did not bring forth thousands of saints and holy people Courtney , Gods Love did that 😊 Please tell me that you don’t believe that the Latin Mass is the origin and routes of the Catholic Church . It was the resurrection of our Saviour Jesus Christ that is the origin of the Catholic Church . You question my ‘type’ of Catholicism . It is a faith based on Love forgiveness and service to others . God Bless you. Peace and Love
