A Parish Priest: Tradition must be completely legitimized in order to wipe out the confusion which now reigns supreme

RORATE CÆLI: A Parish Priest: Tradition must be completely legitimized in order to wipe out the confusion which now reigns supreme:





“I went to Confession in my parish. The priest who was about 60
years old, said to me “I have been here almost five years and it seems to me
that I have never seen you before”.

“That’s true Father. You have
never seen me because every Sunday I go to the […….] Shrine where Holy Mass in
the Old Rite is celebrated.” (Editor’s note: following the liturgical
indications of the Motu Proprio, Summorum Pontificum).

I expected the usual lecture as
had happened when I spoke about it to the Rector of a very famous Marian
Shrine. Instead this priest very kindly said to me: “Keep going my son: that is
the real future of the Church!” The liturgy of our fathers will save the
Church! Keep going and never give up!”

“Father – I replied – why don’t
you celebrate the Mass in the Old Rite which you praise so highly?”

The priest: “After
my first public celebration I experienced disparagement on the part of my
order,  but most of all  I’m concerned that they will send a Protestant
pastor here [in the parish] – be patient for a little while longer: Tradition
is going be completely legitimized and the
pestilent confusion which is reigning supreme now will be wiped out.
Have faith: Our Lady will help us!”
