THE RETURN OF THE
IMMORTAL LATIN MASS
AND THE PAPAL MOTU PROPRIO OF JULY 2007
IS THERE A CRISIS IN THE
CHURCH TODAY?
 Thousands of priests have
abandoned their office, and
thousands of monks and religious
have returned to secular life. There
are very few vocations in Europe and
not many in North America either;
countless seminaries, convents, and
religious houses have closed their
doors. Many parishes lack priests,
and religious congregations are
WHAT THE POPES HAVE SAID
CONCERNING THE CRISIS IN THE
CHURCH
 POPE ST. PIUS X

 "There is no part of Catholic

truth which they leave
untouched, none that they do
not strive to corrupt." (Pascendi)
POPE PIUS XI

"The one Church of Christ is

visible to all and will remain,
according to the Will of its
Author, exactly the same as
He instituted it." (Mortalium
Animos, §15).
POPE PIUS XII
  The persistence of Mary about
the dangers which menace the
Church is a divine warning
against the suicide of altering the
Faith, in Her liturgy, Her theology
and Her soul. … (in reference to the
Third Secret of Fatima.)

 A day will come when the

civilized world will deny its God,
when the Church will doubt as
Peter doubted. In our churches,
POPE PAUL VI
 “Through some crack the smoke
of satan has entered into the
Church of God.”
 Papal address of June 30, 1972

 “The opening to the world has

become a veritable invasion of
the Church by worldly thinking.
“The Church is in a disturbed
period of self-criticism, or what
could better be called self-
POPE JOHN PAUL II

 European culture gives the

impression of “Silent Apostasy"
on the part of people who have all
that they need and who live as if
God does not exist.
POPE BENEDICT XVI
 "I am convinced that the crisis in
the Church that we are
experiencing today is to a large
extent due to the disintegration of
the liturgy.”

 "I was dismayed by the banning

of the old Missal seeing that a
similar thing had never happened
in the entire history of the
liturgy....”
THE CRISIS IN THE CATHOLIC
CHURCH TODAY

ITS
CAUSES
VATICAN II ??? Why ???
THE NEW TEACHINGS OF
VATICAN II
 RELIGIOUS LIBERTY
 MAN IS FREE TO CHOOSE HIS OWN
RELIGION SINCE ALL RELIGIONS ARE GOOD

 OPPOSED to “There is but one

universal Church of the faithful, outside
which no one at all is saved.”
 Pope Innocent III, Fourth Lateran Council,
1215.
THE NEW TEACHINGS OF
VATICAN II
 ECUMENISM
 THE SEEKING OF UNITY WITH FALSE
RELIGIONS WITH NO AIM TO BRING THEM
TO THE TRUTH AND CONVERT THEM.
 OPPOSED TO OUR LORD’S LAST
COMMAND
 “GO INTO THE WHOLE WORLD AND PREACH

THE GOSPEL TO EVERY CREATURE. HE

WHO BELIEVES AND IS BAPTIZED SHALL BE
SAVED, BUT HE WHO DOES NOT BELIEVE
SHALL BE CONDEMNED.” (MK. 16, 15)
THE NEW TEACHINGS OF
VATICAN II
 COLLEGIALITY - THE THEORY THAT ALL OF
THE BISHOPS IN THE CHURCH CONSTITUTE A
SEPARATE GOVERNING BODY IN THE CHURCH

 OPPOSED TO DOGMATIC VATICAN COUNCIL

I:
“We teach and declare that, according to
the gospel evidence, a primacy of
jurisdiction over the whole Church of God
was immediately and directly promised to
the blessed apostle Peter and conferred on
him by Christ the Lord.” (PASTOR
AETERNUS)

there was Darkness over the
whole the Land …”
