Bishop Sanborn: Our fight is not just for the Latin Mass

 


"The last bastion of absolute and unchanging truth in the world was the Roman Catholic Church before Vatican II. The main poison which that council injected into the institutions of the Church is the very poison of Protestant liberalism. That there is not one, true church of Christ, but that---as the [Second Vatican] council says---all who look with faith to Jesus may be considered to belong to His Church [cf. Lumen Gentium, Ch. 2; Unitatis Redintegratio, Ch. 1, n. 3]. This Satanic doctrine stripped from the institutions of the Catholic Church their finest and essential quality, their unerring proposition of and adherence to a single set of unchanging dogmas and moral laws based on Divine Revelation. The Church before Vatican II was 'the rock' that was not moved by any of the currents of the world. The very use of Latin in the liturgy and in the sacred documents of the Church is a beautiful symbol of the changelessness, the universality, and the antiquity of the truths of the Church of Rome. A changeless language for a changeless Church.

It is therefore meaningless and absurd and a useless endeavor to seek the Latin Mass in a religion which professes dogmatic pluralism and relativism and I'm talking about the Novus Ordo. There are those who think that the solution to our problems is to obtain permission from this Modernist hierarchy to have the Latin Mass. That is absurd. Our fight is not a fight for Latin or even the Traditional Mass. It is a fight to restore to our Catholic institutions the sacred quality of ironclad adherence to the absolute truths revealed by God and promulgated by the Church since Her inception. It is the truth that must come back, not merely Latin or a set of ceremonies. It is the truth: an absolute truth. Our fight is to banish forever from our Catholic buildings that leprosy of liberalism, ecumenism and relativism, which stinks of the stench of the heresy of Protestantism."
