Editor’s Note: I agree with what Nugent says about obedience, but since there is a lot of corruption in the Church, I will add an important note: that yes, we are obliged to obey the bishop of our Diocese, but if we have not professed a vow of obedience to him, we are also not obliged to live in his diocese. So the amicable solution when there is true injustice is to move to another diocese, but the problem of personal reflection and the need to be humble, recognizing that Jesus alone is the savior of His Church, remains.

I find it very troubling that he is Irish and the faith is all but dead in Ireland! They are lucky if they ordain 1 priest a year! He Catholic Faith is dying in Ireland!
My family attends a beautiful FSSP parish in Sacramento ! 4 priest , over a hundred altar boys, and filled with large young families! The children out number the adults! It is vibrant and alive! The Mass is beautiful ! Sure, we are no better tgen our Novus Ordo Catholics! We are sinners and we know it! We have confessions daily and the lines are long! I do not think we look down on Novus Ordo Catholics! We were all once in those parishes too! We feel sorrow for what they are missing ! Their patrimony! Their beautiful heritage! I find it curious that in these days of moral decay and perversion and confusion from a lack of true authentic catechesis the FBI, the Pope, Bishops, and individuals are attacking catholics who love the Latin Mass and have large beautiful families that they are protecting from the onslaughts of the Woke World with all its demonic evil! And instead of support we get criticized ! We are a minority! Father Jackson is one priest in the FSSP and because of his horrible sins we need to tear everything beautiful down???? Talk about destroying the church!!! I see the FSSP building up the church and the faith and producing many wonderfully holy priest! Pray for all priest! Satan wants them all destroyed!
I do not think anyone is calling for tearing the beautiful things of the Church down. But these things wont save us if they are divorced from faith in Jesus and sincere repentance. If you want to preserve these things, encourage the families to speak out against pedophilia.
We are living in a world where false humility is prevalent, even inside the dioceses. It must have been because of the education system for the past decades.
False humility is pride to the fullest extent.
Five miles apart in a small American town there are 2 Catholic Churches….one is Pro gay, no No TLM…priests late for Mass, no confessional, ….in general , a parish which is woke with a protocath faith. Did away with the LatinMass a young priest tried to start.
On the other hand there is a 40 yr old Latin Mass which is identical to my Catholic Church of my early years in a breakaway so called schematic mass.
..a Mass whose words are the very same as Quo Primam, which states this Mass is byorder of the Holy Father is NEVER TO BE CHANGED ONE IOTA whose Priests travel each weekend hundreds of miles to pray the LatinMass in obedience to Quo Primum ( which , by the way, St Catherine of Siena declared to the Pope at the time, ” If you change the Mass, even one word, you will go to Hell, and so will all those who follow you”
I recently began going to the old Mass in a chapel targeted by the new protocatholic Mass libs which run the Diocese from the woke Chancery..I’m not leaving the One Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church, but following Quo Primam… Ihave fought until my 80s to accept the Novus Ordo Mass .It preaches a Mass which has “changed”,. accepts a view of sexuality which is a mortal sin , and leaves me I’ll at ease… On the other hand, I leave the SSPX Mass at peace with my soul. Do you understand what it’s like to go in obedience to a Novus Ordo Mass when your whole being cries out to you that it is in total opposition to QuoPrimam ????? ..
So… this is a proof that Pope Paul VI is indeed in Hell?
