COMMUNIQUÉ of the Superiors-General of the "Ecclesia Dei" Communities [on Traditionis Custodes] ift.tt/3DD4IvE
"We beg for a humane, personal, trusting dialogue, far from ideologies or the coldness of administrative decrees. We would like to be able to meet a person who will be for us the face of the Motherhood of the Church. We would like to be able to tell him about the suffering,...
"...the tragedies, the sadness of so many lay faithful around the world, but also of priests, men and women religious who gave their lives trusting on the word of Popes John Paul II and Benedict XVI."
"Pope Francis, 'encourage[s] the Church’s pastors to listen to them with sensitivity and serenity, with a sincere desire to understand their plight and their point of view, in order to help them live better lives and to recognize their proper place in the Church.'(Amoris...
"...Laetitia, 312). We are eager to entrust the tragedies we are living to a father's heart. We need listening and goodwill, not condemnation without prior dialogue."
"We must, 'avoid judgements which do not take into account the complexity of various situations … It is a matter of reaching out to everyone, of needing to help each person find his or her proper way of participating in the ecclesial community and thus to experience being...
"...touched by an 'unmerited, unconditional and gratuitous' mercy.' (Amoris Laetitia, n ° 296-297)."

But the most serious problem, for Fr. Freinademetz, is the moral decay of the West. “The greatest scourge for us and for the poor Chinese is beginning to be the many faithless and perfectly corrupt Europeans who are now beginning to flood all of China. They may be Christians... Image
...but they are worse than the pagans; they care about nothing but making money in order to pursue all worldly pleasures ”(May 28 1902). “The times are sad,” and “irreligion is assailing the whole world,” he writes on June 25 1905. On the eve of his death, on January 23 1907,...
...he again writes: “The Chinese are not enemies of religion, and if Europe were Christian nowadays as it could and should be, I certainly believe all of China would become Christian. What a triumph for the Holy Church! But the wind that is blowing from Europe is very cold...

Highlights of the masterful lecture given by our contributor Prof. Peter Kwasniewski on the "Pope's boundenness to Tradition as a Legislative limit":

"Catholic apologists have done a lot of great work over the decades. ... But the same apologists do not perform so well when they turn their sights to intraecclesial affairs, particularly when it comes to explaining the nature, purpose, and limits of papal infallibility. ...
"I want to explain how we reached a point of such absurdity that a Roman Pontiff can dare, with the stroke of a pen, to consign to the margins and to eventual oblivion an unbroken liturgical patrimony of millennia and to claim that the new rites created by committee under...

We wish to unburden ourselves.

The central crisis of the Church is the extremely high prevalence of homosexuality, active & widely present in the clergy.

Benedict XVI resigned because he was overwhelmed by it.

Every single "crisis" manufactured... 1/
...by Francis has been a smokescreen to avoid addressing this grave matter, that has destroyed the Church from the inside, transformed much of the hierarchy into a factory of blackmail,& made the Priesthood of the New Testament, in much of the West, seen as a "Gay Profession". 2/
From "communion to divorcees" to now this brutal attack on the Mass (caused in great measure by the immeasurable anger Francis and his minions felt against them because Trad-friendly and conservative Cardinals and bishops blocked "gay-friendly" texts in every Synod)... 3/

"Is it really necessary for the Holy Father to write in such a blunt and authoritarian manner? "
"People are passionate about what they love, sometimes to a fault, but for the majority, this is human and generally kept within a tolerable range of sparring and bluster rather than disgust and deep division. I fear the Pope is using a cannon to kill a fly."
"This is not the language of mercy. ... Pope Francis has seldom addressed any other group this harshly. To others such as unbelievers, dissenters and wayward politicians there is to be mercy, understanding and tolerance."

Strengthened with all might,
according to the power of his glory,
in all patience and longsuffering with joy,
giving thanks to God the Father,
who hath made us worthy to be
partakers of the lot of the saints in light:
who hath delivered us from the power of darkness,
and hath translated us into the kingdom
of the Son of his love,
in whom we have redemption
through his blood, the remission of sins;
who is the image of the invisible God,
the Firstborn of every creature:
For in him were all things created
in heaven and on earth,
visible and invisible,
whether thrones, or dominations,
or principalities, or powers:
all things were created by him and in him.
