Can a Traditional Catholic Worship at a Novus Ordo TLM?
Some should-be traditional Catholics, who know that Modernism is not Catholicism, say they must attend the Latin Mass within the modern Church today in order to stay within the “official” Church (as if the one Church founded by Christ has now split into two, the Modernist “official” Church and the other “non-official” Church with the traditional Faith). The question should be: Can he worship in good conscience at a Latin Mass in the Novus Ordo church? No, he can’t worship there in good conscience. If he understands that the official belief of the New Order is the Modernism that Saint Pius X condemned as the “synthesis of all heresies” against the Catholic Faith. If he understands the “new order religion" that came out of Vatican II is the practice of Modernism. If he understands that Modernism is not the Catholic Faith and that the New Order is not the Catholic religion. If he understands that there cannot be two opposite faiths and two opposing religions in Christ’s one true Church: then NO, he cannot worship there in good conscience, because by worshiping there he is pretending that there can be two opposed faiths in the true Catholic Church. That is exactly ecumenism, the basic error of the Modernists: within one and the same church of Christ there can be multiple different and opposed faiths, each with its own religion. Francis teaches that God wills all religions and that all of them lead to God. “Trads” who think that Modernism and Catholicism can coexist are really just conservative Modernists, who think one can mix the two. But it is impossible to mix Catholicism and Modernism without sacrilege.
