You see, readers, there's High Mass and there's Low Mass. The High can be very high indeed, and the Low can scrape the depths.
It's a thing. The Western world had a liturgy, a rite, a way of worshiping God which stood for at least 1000 years, maybe more. This was disrupted at the end of the Middle Ages, "smash it up" shouted the reformers and so they did.
Fast forward to today. We've had, what, 50 years of liturgical reform in which the "experts" dismantled, defaced and deformed the worship of the Western Church. And all in the name of making it more popular. But guess what, nobody came, and who can blame them.
It's a bit like wymmyn priest figures in the Anglican church, "If you don't ordain wymmyn no one will go to your churches!" shrieked the deformers and lo and behold, no one has even though the deformers did it anyway.
Here endeth the Lesson,

While not having a dog in this fight, so to speak, I admire those who hold steady in their beliefs and history.
What is a church service without fat lesbians in comfortable shoes doing an interpretive liturgical dance in the aisles? Who would want to worship without sodomites being honored as oracles?
Of course, it would be better if the admiral, whose name is dick, and still has one, showed up in drag to add to the festivities.
I'm still waiting for Francis to drop the other shoe: If Traditionis Custodes wasn't bad enough will he suppress the FSSP? Cuz....you know we who prefer the old mass are "disruptive."
Amen.
I agree with LL, I won't get on a plane unless I know that the pilot is a non binary BIPOC furry with ADHD, and I definitely would not have a Doctor perform a surgery on me if they are a cisgender straight white Christian man.
LL for the win!!
@Indidel de Manahatta: Follow the money, Infidel. Our FSSP parish takes in approximately 4 times (sometimes more) the $$ than the Novus Ordo parishes in Post Falls and Coeur d' Alene, ID. Since a part of that money goes to the diocese, it would be financial suicide to kick them to the curb. So far our bishop likes us, but there is always another bishop coming along - sort of like a bus. I'll worry about it when it happens.
Worse thing Mother Church ever did was take the Mysteries out of the worship. So much greatness in the power of God, so much evil in the humanizing and dumbing down of His power.
