Sorry to sound like a Resistance lad, Kennedy, but the Latin Mass is not priority number 1. I’m surprised that was your opinion. The Faith is first, preserving the integrity of the Church and promulgating the Kingship of Christ. He needs to uphold the perennial dogmas and doctrines of the Catholic Church. The TLM expresses the Faith, but the Faith comes first.

Lefebvre himself said the battle is primarily doctrinal. The old mass is just the embodiment. Of course we must absolutely reject the new mass as Lefebvre did, but we can’t accept having the old mass while being silent about doctrine

Faith does come first but that faith is only through the TLM which truly acknowledges the Kingship of Jesus Christ 🙏

The TLM (or the traditional liturgy at least to not exclude Eastern Catholics) is the highest expression of the Faith, but the priority needs to be teaching the Faith. Yes the Latin Mass is a massive catalyst for doing so, but the Mass is a means, not an end in itself. Catholic Truth on the other hand, or really just Truth (Catholic is obvious) is and an end in Himself.

The NO does not teach Catholic Truth. It teaches Protestant theology

I agree. Never go to the Novus Ordo as it does not express the Catholic Faith. Where do we disagree? Or what problem do you have?

Faith will follow with the worship in the Latin Mass

Lex Orandi Lex Credendi. Worship shapes belief.

Liturgical prayer conforms to and perfectly expresses the authentic deposit of faith, according to the ancient expression: lex orandi, lex credendi, lex vivendi. The law of prayer is the law of faith: the Church believes as she prays. Liturgy is a constitutive element of the holy and living Tradition. Cf. CCC 1124

"Our thought is in full accord with the Eucharist, and Eucharist, in its turn, confirms our thought." -- Iraeneus of Lyon

It is therefore impossible to separate faith (what we believe) from our worship of Almighty God and the prayers of the Church (the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass).

Preserve the TLM. Do that and everything else will be alright.

I really needed this video, Kennedy, so thank you. Sure, I have a bad feeling about this, but the name does give me hope that he might have a conversion. And even if he doesn't, the Church is the Church of Christ and the "gates of hell will not prevail".

I learned that he covered cases of sexual abuse. This is troubling me.

Today it is the Historical Apparition of St Michael the Archangel - year 525.

He was an Augustinian Friar (not sure if that technically remains in place after his elevation). We know that.

He will always be an Augustinian Friar.
