The Opposition
A man of goodwill principle must understand that he is up against. To some, trampling on our Lord s a necessary evil, to push their modernist agenda. To many, our Lord being trampled on, has become an acceptable collateral damage, this cannot get in their way of how they want to worship, and their attachments to their worship.
The Opposition is NOT interested in the goodwill towards the Eucharist. Their goodwill is towards how they want to worship. In truth, it is a man-centric worship; man's way, and not God's way. Instead of worthily worshiping God at a traditional Latin Mass church, many will refuse. They will refuse and simply ignore the truth.
Silence to Truth
Silence is the best tactic that is been used, it is simply not to talk about the truth.
- Ignore the fact that Communion in the hand causes Eucharistic particles to fall on the floor and is trampled on.
- Don't ever speak about tradition. Many Catholics don't even know of the Traditional Latin Mass or even the Mass they go to, is called a Novus Ordo (New Order) Mass.
Deny the truth
If asked about Eucharistic particles falling on the floor, it will be quickly brushed off as a non issue. Deny the truth and shutdown the conversation. It doesn't fit the agenda of modernism,
Lack of Reverence
The goal is not to outrightly deny the truth, but to break it down. To diminish the belief in the Real Presence, while at the same time celebrating the Eucharist.
- Genuflections are not encouraged.
- Modesty in clothing is not encouraged.
- Silence in the church is not encouraged.
- Things of beauty and awe in the Mass are discouraged.
- Communion on the tongue while kneeling is discouraged.
- Communion in the hand is encouraged.
Deception
The most important deception to push onto the faithful, is the Real Presence is real, but treat how we receive Communion as normal, not supernatural. In this way the truth is not denied directly, but indirectly. Communion in the hand has become so affective that when we talk about Our Lord being trampled on, almost no one raises an eyebrow.
How can the faithful continue to worship God worthily if they lack in truth?
"God is spirit, and his worshipers must worship in the Spirit and in truth." ~ John 4:24
"For the time will come when people will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear." ~ 2 Timothy 4:3
"Watch out for false prophets. They come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves. ~ Matthew 7:15
"I know that after my departure fierce wolves will come in among you, not sparing the flock;" ~ Acts 20:29
"The hired hand is not the shepherd and does not own the sheep. So when he sees the wolf coming, he abandons the sheep and runs away. Then the wolf attacks the flock and scatters it." ~ John 10:12
Lack of Principles - Lack of Goodwill
Lack of principles, means lack of adherence to truth. The hard truths are almost never preached and when it is, it is never meant to be taken seriously. Modernism is about going with the flow, not about standing steadfast to the truth. If there are no truth, there are no principles, and if there are no principles, how can there be goodwill? Could this be the result of Our Lord being trampled on without any concern, throughout the Novus Ordo churches?
Pretence of supporting traditionalism
Instead of practicing tradition to encourage traditional worship, it is instead used as a buffer against committing to true traditional worship. If Catholics want the Traditional Latin Mass, it made it difficult for them to access it. They will be told the Novus Ordo Mass is a perfectly fine alternative, which allows Our Lord to be trampled on yet again.
The scare tactic regarding Sunday Obligation
Using Sunday Obligation as a scare tactic and totally ignoring a legitimate excuse for not attending Mass.
Just see the following scenarios:
- When Catholics who do not attend Mass out of indifference, nothing is really said, but to thank them for going, when they do. (Illegitimate)
- When Catholics are seriously ill and do not attend Mass, nothing is said. (Legitimate)
- When Catholics have to stay home to look after the young for elderly, nothing is said. (Legitimate) - However when Catholics stay home to avoid sacrilege from the Novus Ordo church, and because they cannot always attend the Traditional Latin Mass church due to the long distance, oh the outrage!!! (Legitimate)
Do Catholics really think it is ok to attend a Mass, where they partake in the trampling on of Our Lord? Some traditional Catholics are the really trying to make the effort to get to a reverent Mass, and if they cannot, they can still keep their Sunday holy by praying, reading Scripture, and doing penance. Please remember there are legitimate reasons to miss Mass, avoiding sacrilege, along with long distance, is perfectly a legitimate excuses. For more information click on the Excuses page.
