Five Concise Reasons Not To Attend
the New Mass
By:
Eric Gajewski
Archbishop Lefebvre speaking on the
New Mass, “"It does not oblige for the fulfillment of the
Sunday duty."
Can a Catholic attend the “New Mass” based upon the
argument that “it is valid’? Can
Catholics attend churches where heresy is taught? What would be some reasons to avoid, altogether,
not only, the New Mass but churches teaching the Vatican II New Religion? These questions and others shall be examined
and answered in the following article. “And we have the precise conviction
that this new rite of Mass expresses a new faith, a faith which is not ours, a
faith which is not the Catholic Faith. This New Mass is a symbol, is an expression,
is an image of a new faith, of a Modernist faith. ….Now it is evident that the
new rite, if I may say so, supposes another conception of the Catholic
religion-another religion.”
Archbishop Lefebvre, summed up, the crisis, in the
Church (specifically the Liturgy), quite well, some decades ago. Yet more and more “traditionalist’s” do not
see clearly in our times. They are
falling into the trap the New Mass is valid therefore I can go. They do not consider that the New Mass is
illicit and the New Rites are schismatic.
They do not consider that the Vatican II buildings do not house the
Catholic Faith but a “counterfeit” version thereof. Let me discuss further.
Reason #1. Those saying the New Mass teach heresy. Who says the New Mass? Those who say the New Mass are material
heretics in the very least. Some of
these priests may very well be formal heretics.
It is up to you to first know your Faith and then speak to each priest
beforehand to see where they stand on doctrine.
On the basis that these poor priests are not keeping the Faith we must
do as the Church teaches us and avoid those buildings altogether. There need not be any formal sentence
beforehand on these priests from the Church as the Arian Crisis proves. Modernist’s are not going to condemn other
modernist’s. Vatican II has shoved down
the throats of men and entirely new man centered religion which Pope St. Pius X
warned us of long before this illicit/invalid “council”. The heretics (FreeMason Bugnini being one of
them) behind the New Mass needed to water down the Faith and Liturgy so that
the Protestants could feel more invited to the Conciliar “table”. In addition, this New Mess now has a presidor
over it, who, faces the “audience” and merely “celebrates” rather than “offers”
a Sacrifice unto God. The priests of
Vatican II (Novus Ordo) are not being faithful (objectively speaking),
therefore, why would you displease Jesus by communing with them?
Fr Hesse: Vatican II in Two Minutes
Reason #2. The New Rites are illicit
and schismatic materially. As Father
Hesse points out in the video below the new rites are evil and Paul 6th
had no authority to change them. Says who? Says the dogmatic council of Trent (canon 7,
session 13). By doing so, Paul the 6th
put himself outside the Church and those embracing the same do so as well. What is now being taught as “Catholic” is not
at all Catholic. As Father Hesse points
out in the second video Vatican II is an unacceptable “council” for Catholics
to accept and you cannot satisfy your Sunday obligation in those churches
teaching heresy. You can also see the
related section down below for Archbishop Lefebvre’s further analysis. The New Mass is a bastardized, protestant “rite”.
Fr Hesse Know your Rites!
13 min mark is where he talks about avoiding the Conciliar Church
Reason #3 Cannot approach “doubtful”
Sacraments (in general). Although
sedevacantist’s and “hardline traditionalist’s disagree that the New Mass is
altogether invalid (in general) we still arrive at the same conclusion (no
matter how you analyze it) that you must avoid it. We agree that you cannot approach “doubtful”
Sacraments in the very least. It is a basic
principle in Sacramental Theology that if a Sacrament has a certain level of
doubt, even if it has other things in favor of its validity, that it is a
mortal sin to attempt to receive or dispense it. You can look this book up online to read
further on the matter (Nicholas Halligan, OP, The Administration of the Sacraments)
https://books.google.com/books/about/The_Sacraments_and_Their_Celebration.html?id=eTVLAwAAQBAJ
Please
see Fr. Hesse further explanation on the matter below. FYI, In emergency situations (i,e death)
Canon Law does state we could receive the Sacraments from heretics/schsimatics
as Fr. Hesse points out in this video.
Fr Hesse. Can One Confess to a heretical/Schismatic Priest
Reason #4. Jesus and Mary forewarned us of the “New Mass”
which displeases Him. Through a faithful
servant of God, Marie Julie Jahenny (approved), we have been forewarned of this
apostasy. In her writings we can see how
angry God is with the Novus ordo and all its “newness”. One of the specific things that was
forewarned about was the New Mass. This
was back in 1902 and 1904! On November 27,
1902 and May 10, 1904, Our Lord and Our Lady announced the conspiracy to invent
the "New Mass": "I give you a WARNING. The disciples who are not
of My Gospel are now working hard to remake according to their ideas and under
the influence of the enemy of souls a MASS that contains words that are ODIOUS
in My sight. When the fatal hour arrives when the faith of my priests is put to
the test, it will be (these texts) that will be celebrated in this SECOND
period ... The FIRST period is (the one) of my priesthood which exists since
Me. The SECOND is (the one) of the persecution when the ENEMIES of the Faith
and of Holy Religion (will impose their formulas) in the book of the second
celebration ... These infamous spirits are those who crucified Me and are
awaiting the kingdom of THE NEW MESSIAH."
As I have been pointing out for years Vatican II is leading souls into
the formal Apostate Church of Darkness or Harlot mentioned in the
Apocalypse.
The enemy is watering down
the Faith and liturgy to appease heretics and even pagans.
Soon there will be an “ecumenical rite”
(perhaps 2018) to further prepare the way for common “worship” of the coming Antichrist
(the Beast). Anyone who idenitifes as a Christian heretic or not must be
clumped together. This is their
plan.
Then they will get people from any
false religion” involved.
Prophesy from the mystic Marie Julie Jahenny
Reason #5 No grace! I have heard the counter argument from the
Novus ordites that they are receiving grace from the New rites themselves and this
is pure hogwash. The mere fact that they
cannot see what they are following isn’t Catholic is proof enough they are not
getting what they think they are. In general,
any grace that would be coming to individual souls in the Conciliar Church (due
to invincible ignorance) would be from the Church herself or the Blessed Virgin
Mary not the Rite or New Mass itself.
Something intrinsically evil does not do as such. Fr. Martin talks about how God is largely “cutting
off men” from grace due to their pride.
The people in the Conciliar Church just don’t want to hear about any
apostasy, therefore, God is tightening up the valve of grace.
Fr. Malachi Martin: "God Withdrew His Grace"
In the end, there are definitely big
differences between what sedevacantists and hardline traditionalist’s have to
say in this Vatican II crisis but we both say the same, that is, avoid the New
Mass and those buildings teaching the Vatican II New Religion. I answer those following Vatican II, who
argue back, “you are a heretic and schsimatic” for resisting Vatican II and the
New Mass, that, “you are a modernist and are following a new religion with
principles already previously condemned by the Church”.
You
are the heretic in reality.
In the end,
Vatican II goes away and is nullified. Thank God! To those who would argue the New Mass is
giving us “eucharistic miracles” I respond Our Lord and Lady warned us of
endtime “false prodigy signs and wonders” trying to “rationalize” the acceptance
of something intrinsically evil. It is
similar to the Medjugorje situation. To
those who argue the New Mass is valid, therefore, I can go! I answer the Russian and Greek Orthodox
churches have a valid priesthood and Sacraments as well yet does the Church
teach we can go there? The answer is no,
of course. The Conciliar Church is
loaded with heresy and must be avoided.
You cannot mix a small portion of poison with any drink and think you
will be unaffected.
In short, the
poisoned do not think they are poisoned and they are slowly being killed
spiritually. It is too dangerous for
your soul to be in the Conciliar Church and it displeases Jesus to do so in
full knowledge (mortal sin) of knowing Vatican II and New Mass are evil (which
they are). The Apostate Church of the
False Prophet and Antichrist are close and sadly “many” will apostasize and
take the “mark”.
If you compromise NOW
you stand NO CHANCE THEN!
Get out of the
Conciliar Church while you can. By doing
so you are remaining faithful To Jesus and Tradition and not acting cowardly.

novus ordo= not catholic
ReplyDeleteI agree! But I have a question, why did Bishop Williamson say that you can go to a novus ordo mass ?
DeleteANSWER: HE SHOULDNT HAVE
Delete
DeleteHe Did not say you can go to the New Mass! He told a Woman who was just starting out in tradition ( who was quite emotional) that if she was getting anything out of it to continue going. The Bishop has openly said he made a mistake and that he should of spoken to her in private. The Bishop in the same conference had already said at least 5 times not to go the New Mass.
Also in and on the building are encoded signs and symbols that are both freemanson and satanic. Its not just the invalid sacraments.
DeleteAnd I might add on their vestments and vessels.are encoded signs and symbols that are both freemanson and satanic. Its not just the invalid sacraments. So much for the " things of matter, form, minster and intent."

DeleteThanks much for this Eric.Many,just as I was,need to know this for our souls well being.
ReplyDeleteIt is important to know:)
DeleteAMEN Eric and Frank! I am so much more now at peace with the decision to leave the N.O. churches and never return again without feeling my soul is in danger. And GOD KNOWS my diligent search for a Traditional Catholic Latin Mass church within 1.5 hrs. of my home has not been without struggle and strife. And, when available, I will attend those masses with LOVE AND JOY IN MY HEART AND CHRIST'S BLESSING!

DeleteThe whole edifice has already fallen to the ground years ago.
DeleteThank you, Eric, through this article more people can know the truth about the Novus Ordo. Very concise. I pray that Novus Ordites who read this are given Grace from the Holy Trinity to come to the realization of the Truth.
ReplyDeleteAVE MARIA, KAREN!
DeleteUntil Rome has the intention of ending the Revolution there is nothing a faithful Catholic can do. we must avoid these buildings and pray for them.

DeleteAnd I might add on their vestments and vessels.are encoded signs and symbols that are both freemanson and satanic. Its not just the invalid sacraments.
There are well more than 5 reasons to avoid the new mass
ReplyDeleteFOR SURE
DeleteIt is a long and heart wrenching decision to make. It took me years to finally make the decision. Being a Catholic I knew what it meant if I left and the consequences of a wrong decision. Because I was born after the N.O. mass was all that was said and because I was only taught the V2 catechism, it took me a long time. God promises He will not foresake us if we truly, humbly seek Him. He led me to understanding. For those still undecided, have fortitude. Trust. Pray. Read. Nobody in the N.O. church will lead you to the Truth. Thank you so much Eric. You do a great service.
ReplyDeleteWELL SAID JEN!
DeletePax et Bonum! I appreciate your story, because I am experiencing for quite sometime, the more I take on Tradition, and express it openly, the more friends I am losing. Not that I am forceful or arrogant about my beliefs, but that I make it politely clear where I stand and where I worship now. There is nothing I can do to "convince" another to do this with me - it is a calling and a mission at the same time. There is much more to it than the nice chant music and a nice change here and there as some N.O.'s may think. They are not at that place, they are not knowing the history and they aren't really committed. I will hang in there though, because as more is revealed and made known, as well as reading Scriptures, it is becoming more apparent it is TRUTH. Tks again Jen! God bless.....
DeleteOnly an enemy of the faith would say they were trying to appease Protestants with the new liturgy. God have mercy on these destroyers. They will have to answer before God!

DeleteShort and sweet article. Fr. Hesse makes it all so clear. Stay out of the Conciliar Church!
ReplyDeleteI have so many friends and family who do not see what should be an obvious apostasy. I pray they wake up soon with all that is about to happen. I pray God is merciful.
ReplyDeleteI SHALL

ReplyDeleteThe conservative’s do not understand the difference between validity and licit. Just because something “takes place” doesn’t mean a faithful Catholic can partake in. Good analogy with the Orthodox churches.
ReplyDeleteAVE MARIA
DeleteYou will never catch me at a Novus Ordo mass again. I have learned my lesson. Everyone ought read the writings of Archbishop Lefebvre. The Conciliar Church is a landmine of heresy.
ReplyDeleteGOOD TO HEAR
DeleteKeep up the good work, Eric. Another great article. You should do a summary on the heresies of the Vatican II Church as well. My apologies in advance if you have already. Kip

ReplyDeleteWELCOME NEWBIE:)
DeleteThe semi trads you speak of don’t see Vatican II as the basis for a new man centered religion therein is the problem. They don’t want to see all the heresies unfortunately.
ReplyDeleteEXACTLY
DeleteMost go to the new mass because they are ill informed or simply are scared thinking thy are sinning by not going to Mass Sunday. Fr. Hesse properly addresses this question in one of the videos. It helped me to understand why I ough rather stay home than attend heretical churches. Kerry
ReplyDeleteYES.....THE NEW MASS IS DISPLEASING TO GOD
DeleteIt is every Catholic’s duty to know their faith! How do people go to Mass Sunday and not even know the basic doctrines the Church teaches? Why do people even bother if it just “routine”?
ReplyDeleteWELL SAID
DeleteI have to order that book you mentioned in the article. I never heard of it until today, thanks
ReplyDeleteSHOULD HAVE IT ON AMAZON
DeleteYou think you know better than the Pope? Answer yes we do. Hold on to Tradition friends and do not let these wayward Popes drag your soul into hell with their false doctrines.
ReplyDeleteVatican II was definitely not Catholic. How do some “traddies” argue there can be error in the council and still be a work of the Church? They don’t make sense at all.
ReplyDeleteCORRECT, DOESNT MAKE SENSE
DeleteThis comment has been removed by a blog administrator.
ReplyDeleteOne Catholic seer said a false religion would appear shortly before the arrival of the Antichrist. This explains Vatican 2.
ReplyDeleteYES DID A VIDEO ON IT
DeleteYou are right people in the Conciliar Church simply shut down when trying to speak to them about an apostasy in the church. Most wont even give it a second thought. They think what they are doing is Catholic when it is not. There is so much confusion it is hard to see how this crisis gets corrected, at least, not in our lifetime. Samatha

ReplyDeleteDOUBTFUL NOT INVALID
DeleteDo you think Francis and friends will try to sucker the Neo-SSPX back into an agreement again in 2018?
ReplyDeleteOF COURSE THE CAT AND MOUSE GAME WILL CONTINUE
DeleteWhat is the best book available in regards to the Holy Mass to learn it inside and out? What about on Catholic doctrine? Any comprehensive source?
ReplyDeleteLET ME GET BACK TO YOU...
DeleteFr. Gomer Depauw is another good traditionalist to listen too. Some of his talks are still online. Fr. Sommerville as well. There were others besides Lefebvr.
ReplyDeleteBOTH ARE GREAT
DeleteThe N.O gets a BIG NO from me. Stay Catholic reject Vatican Deuce.
ReplyDelete:)
DeleteIt is fundamentally simple: Where there is poison you avoid. It does not matter if it 10 percent 5 percent, whatever percent. Both Vatican II and the New Mass are poisonous.
ReplyDeleteDo you have a timeframe in mind for a future Pope/Council to nullify Vatican II? Have I missed you indicating when?
ReplyDeleteAFTER THE TRIBULATION
DeleteI just noticed we can comment once again. I don’t have a google plus account. I have been away from your site for awhile. Keep me in prayer as I have been sick as of late. Gary
ReplyDeletesure thing!
DeleteWe sadly miss the Archbishop’s leadership in these times. The SSPX becomes more liberal with each day passing. I am afraid we have come to the end of the Divine Justice’s thread.
ReplyDeleteagreed....
DeleteIs Francis a formal heretic now? Is this your position? It seems a number of other websites are suggesting this now.
ReplyDeleteyes he is...hes a true antipope for a number of reasons
DeleteYou're an impostor Eric. I will go on exposing you. You're a liar and a scammer. You are not working for Christ - You are working for the devil. You are one of the end time false prophets that Jesus Christ warned us about. Repent or perish.

ReplyDeleteWhat great sorrow for Jesus and Mary! Let us make reparation to the Sacred Heart and obey the message of Fatima without delay. My question for you is what do you think of Garabnadal?
ReplyDeleteI STAY AWAY FROM GARABANDAL
DeleteWhile no one can be dogmatic about Garabandal, until all is fulfilled that was predicted, there are numerous reliable sources who support and believe in Garabandal. Mother Teresa was a believer and good friend of the principal seer, Conchita. Fr. Malachi Martin believed in Garabandal. Servant of God Fr. John Hardon believed in Garabandal, while condemning Medjugorge. And lastly, and most importantly, Padre Pio was a believer in Garabandal. He met with Conchita, corresponded with her, and had personal items sent to her after his death. Before he died, he gave word that one of his death masks be sent to Conchita. Here's a good section from the link added at the bottom of my post:
Delete"When Conchita found out Padre Pio died in Sept. 1968, she met his close friend, Father Bernardino Cennamo, at Lourdes, and asked him, "How is it that Our Lady told me Padre Pio would see the Miracle and he has died?" Father Cenammo responded, "Padre Pio saw the Miracle before he died. He told me himself." The priest gave Conchita one of the three veils that covered Padre Pio's face during his wake, saying that the stigmatist had requested this before he died. He told her truthfully that he personally did not believe in the authenticity of Garabandal until Padre Pio requested this of him. Conchita also was given Padre Pio's rosary, and one of the gloves he wore, stained by his stigmata. ...
Padre Pio never ceased recommending pilgrims who asked him about Garabandal, to make a visit there."
Garabandal is well worth investigating, following, and believing.
http://whatisgarabandal.blogspot.com/2009/07/padre-pio-and-garabandal.html
like i said id stay away from it
DeleteI'm with you, Faithful Catholic. Of course, we can't be 100 percent sure until the prophecies are fulfilled, but I see no cause to believe Garabandal is a false apparition. And it's really pretty simple: it was either a demonic hoax and those girls were duped by a smooth-talking demon, or Our Lady actually appeared there, and it is, in fact, genuine. It's one or the other.
DeleteSorry, I didn't read the part about Mother Teresa. Don't support her. She was a Huge fan of Pope John Paul II's ecumenical movement. Maybe her heart was in the right place, but the heresy of ecumenism should have been condemned, and she was one of its biggest cheerleaders.
DeleteMother Teresa may not have been perfect -- and no holy person is ever perfect -- but there is no denying that God was with her, worked through her, spoke through her, and grew her Missionaries of Charity with such largesse that only the Finger of God could have been at work and responsible.
DeleteFaithful Catholics today have to be very careful not to throw the baby out with the bath water. We live in a fallen and imperfect world. To deny the holiness of Mother Teresa is too narrow of a vantage point. She was clearly an instrument of God. Traditional Catholics have to be very careful not to over-reach in their criticisms in a world (and Church) that do need criticizing. It is Satan whose other name is "Accuser."
MOTHER TERESA WAS ECUMENICAL AND EVEN SAID BUDDHISTS SHOULD BECOME BETTER BUDDHISTS SHE IS THE PROTYPE NEWCHURCH "SAINT"...
DeleteYup, and after her death there was an article from a novus ordo website (crux, I believe) which detailed a new "Mother Teresa" who ran an orphanage or something, alongside a Muslim Imam. The NO are all about ecumenism, and she was their type of "Saint"
DeleteI think mother Teresa often gets a bad rap. She was also ironically accused in India of converting people against their will, having ulterior motives of service to convert and of attempting to Christianitze India. I think the eccumenical things she said were often a response to being accused of converting. She wasn't perfect, who is? Who knows how many people she converted through her works. She took the love of Christ to the needy every single day and LIVED the message of Christ. There are many who are only concerned with arguing this doctrine or that and critising others for this or that but when was the last time they helped a homeless, poor, sick or dying person. The truth is that you can talk someone's ear off to convert for years and not convert them. If you've done missionary work you'll know this. You can also convert someone through fear and guilt and create Catholics who don't fully reconcile themselves to the gospel, who have no love or humility and many other virtues - like someone who only has partial contrition for sins, they do not fully follow Jesus. She prayed for hours everyday and served in the name of Jesus and in her strong faith, left the work of conversion to God.
DeleteI agree she did accomplish a lot because she believed more in God's love than in her own weakness. She allowed God to use her through her work. When I see some of her critics, It's funny how so many people today think that they are saints walking among men they talk a lot but have very little virtue. Try converting a Muslim or Hindu and not just a Protestant or Novus Ordo catholic, not easy! You can plant a seed and pray for God to do the rest. Conversion is the work of the Holy Spirit.
DeleteI live in Little Rock Arkansas...where can I go to Mass?
ReplyDeleteHere's the link where I finally found a real Mass to attend. Hope there's a real Catholic Mass near you! I would exhort all to be understanding of the plight of those who do not have the blessing of the Traditional Mass anywhere nearby. This is a huge cross and there's not any simple answer. Hope this link will help you and many, many others. I know what it's like after decades in the desert.
