Why NOT to attend the New Mass

Mach 1:[57] On the fifteenth day of the month Casleu, in the hundred and forty-fifth year, king Antiochus set up the abominable idol of desolation upon the altar of God, and they built altars throughout all the cities of Juda round about: Mach 1: [62] And on the five and twentieth day of the month they sacrificed upon the altar of the idol that was over against the altar of God.

1) St. Augustine said: "He who devoutly hears Holy Mass will receive a great vigor to enable him to resist mortal sin, and there shall be pardoned to him all venial sins which he may have committed up to that hour."

 

2) St. John Fisher said: "He who goes about to take the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass from the Church plots no less a calamity than if he tried to snatch the sun from the universe."

 

3) St. Alphonsus said: "The devil has always attempted, by means of heretics, to deprive the world of the Mass, making them precursors of the antichrist, who before anything else, will try to abolish and will actually abolish the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, as a punishment for the sins of men, according to the prediction of Daniel, 'And strength was given him against the continual Sacrifice.' " (Daniel 8:12)

4) St. Robert Bellarmine said: "When we enter ornate and clean Basilicas, adorned with crosses, sacred images, altars and burning lamps, we most easily conceive devotion. But on the other hand, when we enter the temples of the heretics, where there is nothing except a chair for preaching and a table for making a meal, we feel ourselves to be entering a profane hall and not the Hours of God.

5) Martin Luther's slogan was: "Take away the Mass, destroy the Church."

6) St. John Vianney said: "All the good works together are not of equal value with the Sacrifice of the Mass because they are the works of man, and the Holy Mass is the work of God."

 

But A Sacrifice: Martin Luther said, "The Mass is not a sacrifice ... call it Benediction, Eucharist, the Lord's Table, the Lord's Supper, Memory of the Lord or whatever you like, just so long as you do not dirty it with the name of a Sacrifice."   16th century Protestant reformer, Thomas Cranmer said: "The use of an altar is to make sacrifice upon; the use of a table to serve men to eat upon."  When you line up the New Mass with the Anglican schismatic Book of Common Prayer (1549), they are almost identical; in fact, the Book of Common Prayer is more reverent than the New Mass.

 

Binding Peter's Successor: But, can one Pope change what another Pope has done? In pastoral matters, yes; in matters of Faith, No! When we talk about the Liturgy we are talking about the Faith. Quo Primum was not a discipline. It dealt directly with Faith and morals

 

Faith and Morals:

Faith: What you must believe to be saved.

Social Morals: How man behaves towards other men.

Liturgical Morals: How man behaves towards God

Liturgy is not arbitrary or dispensable. The Liturgy is the essence of Catholic Faith.
