On May 10, 1904, Our Lady describes the new clergy and its liturgy:
"They will not stop on this hateful and sacrilegious road. They will go
further to compromise all at once, and in one blow, the Holy Church, the
clergy, and the Faith of my children."
She announces the "dispersion of the pastors" by the Church herself; true
pastors, who will be replaced by others formed by Hell: "...new preachers of
new sacraments, new temples, new baptisms, new confraternities."
The second chosen soul, whom Our Lord called His Portavoz (messenger) is a
Mexican nun who has given universal messages from Our Lord. He commanded her
to make these messages known to the whole world. The Portavoz was a nun
belonging to the community of the Franciscan Minims of the Perpetual Help of
Mary, located in the Villa de Guadalupe in Mexico City, near the Shrine of Our
Lady of Guadalupe. The Franciscan Minim nuns were founded in Zamora, Mexico,
in 1942, and moved to Mexico City in 1967.
When the messages were first published in 1969, the Portavoz's identity was
kept secret, but it was revealed in 1974: she was the foundress, Maria
Concepcion Zuniga Lopez (1914-1979). Since the age of twelve she received
revelations from Heaven. In 1931 they were investigated and approved by
Archbishop Pascual Diaz Barreto, Primate of Mexico, and in 1941 by Bishop
Fulcheri.
Here are the messages she received from Our Lord about the traditional Mass:
December 21, 1975: "Insist, our little daughter...about this very important
point: that the modifications of desacralized worship are the profanation of
the holy, prophesied for these times."
May 24, 1970: "The Holy Mass must return to the rites that My Spirit has given
many centuries ago, by means of My upright Vicars."
June 7, 1970: "The Canon of the Mass should be said by the priest alone, in
silence and in Latin, without diminishing even a single iota. The faithful
should remain in silence, adoring the Eucharist, which is the Ineffable
Mystery of My Divine and Human Love, which you will not be able to understand
except in Eternity."
August 5, 1971: "I ask and I order immediately two things: Let the modern
'masses' cease at once and let them return to the Canon ordained by the
Tridentine Council of Pius V. Let them return to the primitive sources of the
Church, the religious and Christian customs in seculars and religious; and
repent, all of you members of the hierarchy of My Church, who have apostatized
and have been traitors. Repent and return to the good path at once and
immediately." (Emphases added.)
June 22, 1973: "My most holy Mother at present is nowhere but here on earth,
crying with Me and adoring the Eucharist, for all the sacrileges that are made
in the Holy Mass and the profanations of the great Sacrament of My Love."
October 29, 1974: "Make known, on My behalf and on behalf of all the Divine
Trinity of Heaven and of the Trinity of earth, that they avoid concelebrations
of Masses and the distribution of Communion standing, according to the modern
custom. Tell them that I order such profanations prohibited! Let their
services be to atone to My Justice, and not to offend It.""Let the Holy Mass
be in Latin and in the manner that the Council of Trent left it defined
forever."
Some other considerations:
Pope St. Pius V, who codified the traditional Latin Mass, fully realized that
the way we worship is the way we believe (lex orandis, lex credendi). This
holy Pope, in order to protect forever the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass and the
dogma it embodies, issued in the sixteenth century the proclamation Quo
Primum. It says in part:
"We specifically command each and every patriarch, administrator and all other
persons of whatsoever ecclesiastical dignity, be they even Cardinals of the
Holy Roman Church or possessed of any other rank or preeminence, and We order
them by virtue of holy obedience to sing or to read the Mass according to the
rite and manner and norm herein laid down by Us, and henceforward to
discontinue and utterly discard all other rubrics and rites of other missals,
howsoever ancient, which they have been accustomed to follow, and not to
presume in celebrating Mass to introduce any ceremonies or recite any prayers
other than those contained in this Missal."
"At no time in the future can a priest, whether secular or order priest, ever
be forced to use any other way of saying Mass. And in order once and for all
to preclude any scruples of conscience and fear of ecclesiastical penalties
and censures, we declare herewith that it is by virtue of our Apostolic
authority that we decree and prescribe that this present order and decree of
ours is to last in perpetuity, and never at a future date can it be revoked or
amended legally. . . .
"And if, nevertheless, anyone would dare attempt any action contrary to this
order of ours, handed down for all times, let him know that he has incurred
the wrath of Almighty God, and of the Blessed Apostles Peter and Paul."
Pope St. Pius V did not initiate a new Mass; a uniform editing was undertaken
on the Missal and the occasion was used to get rid of certain innovations that
had crept in over the centuries. In effect therefore, "there is no Tridentine
Mass, in the strict sense, because a new order of the Mass was now promulgated
as a follow-up to the Council of Trent. It was a matter of extending to the
Universal Church "that rite of the Mass that all the popes had always said and
declared as dating to the Apostolic tradition." St. Pius V, therefore,
"invented" nothing.
Who could possibly claim that there is not a terrible crisis of Faith in the
Catholic Church when polls and surveys show that only 15% of Catholics believe
they should always obey Church teaching, when nearly as many Catholics think
abortion is permissible as non-Catholics, and when 75% of Catholics disagree
with Church teaching forbidding divorce and contraception? Another study
revealed that only 30% of Catholics now believe in the Real Presence and only
50% of the priests.
The crisis in the Church will continue to worsen until we return to orthodoxy
and discipline. The first order in this process is to follow the instructions
of Our Lord given to Sr. Maria Concepcion Zuniga Lopez as mentioned above.
"The Holy Mass must return to the rites that My Spirit has given many
centuries ago, by means of My upright Vicars. Let the Holy Mass be in Latin
and in the manner that the Council of Trent left it defined forever." Please
pray that our dear Savior will grant to our holy Father the pope and the
bishops of the Church the grace to restore the traditional Latin Mass fully
throughout the entire Church.
If we deny one article of our Faith, we are on the road to hell. In order to
maintain the Faith in its fullness, it is imperative that we associate with a
Traditional Mass center - at least until the storm is over and our traditions
are restored. There is a precedence in this form of action in the life of St.
Athanasius, Confessor and Doctor of the Church.
