False Traditionalist Fixation With “Buildings”
By:

“They have the buildings we have the
Faith”
So you have finally come to understand that Vatican II is not Catholic and that the New Mass is illicit/schismatic and must be avoided. Now what? It is the same as it always has been. It is time to keep the Faith. How many of you have run into these false traditionalist types who keep trying to portray you as having “left the Church” (for not going into Vatican II buildings) when in the very least these people are abominable compromisers? Do not let your heart be troubled is heard from on high. St Athanasius and the Saints of all time are with you and not these false traditionalists. I have come to the conclusion that these types are so “fundamentalist” that “wherever” there is a building marked Catholic (they would say) is a building in good favor with God. They would have you believe that this is a building you “could or ought” be attending. It is of such people you ought avoid as Archbishop Lefebvre truly taught. Sadly the Neo-SSPX and its false traditionalist apologists do not follow the principles of Archbishop Lefebvre. Heck, Bishop Fellay within this past year could not even get basic doctrine down on the Jews. It seems to get worse and worse every day in the so called “traditionalist” movement. However, my good friends, let us take a look again at what St. Athanasius has to say and apply it to our times. We cannot approach doubtful Sacraments (per canon law) and we certainly cannot go into buildings teaching the Vatican II New Religion. Our modernist crisis is worse than the Arian crisis yet why do these false traditionalists persist in their fundamentalist ways?
The "Conciliar Church is heretical and schismatic already (materially)
False Trads Equate Faith with “Buildings” marked as “Catholic”. Rome has lost the Faith cried Archbishop Lefebvre in the late 1980’s yet why do these false traditionalists still see the Faith being there (generally speaking)? They will argue in such simpleton fashion that “because these individuals were baptized Catholic” this is a place one can attend (to commune with). This is beyond ludcaris. Just because the building says it is Catholic on the outside does not mean that the Faith is being kept on the inside. Since Vatican II does not represent our faith and since the false traditionalists including the NeoSSPX now accept it (formally) what is a Catholic to do? We have given up altogether it seems and now have labeled Cardinal Burke as the “measure of orthodoxy”. Have you seen these false traditionalists sites like the official SSPX page, the Remnant, Onepeterfive and the rest? Clearly they do not see with the eyes of an eagle. They are not calling for any kind of conversion of the neo-conservative Cardinals (because they are neo cons themselves) but rather have joined in on the novel pseudo trad ecumenical movement. Catholics cannot do this. What good are the buildings if they do not espouse the Faith? The problem with these groups and their apologists is that they are blind and cannot see. Many of them have eyes pulled by economics. Do not let fear overtake you the Faith resides in your heart and Jesus has chosen it to be a Temple to keep His Faith.

You are not being nice. This is a question of Faith I don’t care
what label you give me. Perhaps you are
so lukewarm you hide behind this argument.
Quit the act of saying this priest or Cardinal is “holy” when they are
openly teaching Vatican II and in some cases persistently denouncing the true
Resistance. Your niceness has a good
possibility of you losing your own soul.
Only the proper norm of Faith pleases God and this does not describe
Vatican II’s new man centered Faith. Our
Lord is not interested in “niceness” He is interested in faithfulness. I would rather have on my side a “pit bull”
Catholic not willing to compromise than a sugary coated “Catholic” who
consistently does not want to keep this fight on the level of doctrine.
True Resistance types not welcomed on websites like Onepeterfive, the Remnant and others
We wont lose sleep over it:)
Socially acceptable? Social media plays a large role in the continued destruction of the Faith. I have already mentioned several false traditionalist sites and apologists but the list goes on and on. They keep people trapped in this “cyclone of compromise and error” because they believe they have a suitable social media clique. The same lam arguments keep coming in in discussion with them and I can easily point them out as having come from this group. Trust me I have been doing this for many years so I know how they operate and how deceptive they are. Archbishop Lefebvres true position is not welcomed and its replaced by the incompetent apologists who continually try to make it appear they are following Lefebvre or they were a true friend of his. It is complete rubbish. Lefebvre, if still alive, would have booted most of the priesthood out of the Society for the new direction it has taken. Be ye encourage the trend is homes, dens and barns not buildings. So what, if you are “banned” from the Remnant’s or OnePeterfive’s page, for trying to speak some sense into them, because you shouldn’t be on their page in the first place. They are the ones who need to get their act together not us.
TradCatKnight Radio: "Get Out Of The Van While You Can"
"May God console you! ... What
saddens you ... is the fact that others have occupied the churches by violence,
while during this time you are on the outside. It is a fact that they
have the premises – but you have the Apostolic Faith. They can occupy our churches, but they are
outside the true Faith. You remain outside the places of worship, but the Faith
dwells within you. Let us consider: what is more important, the place or the
Faith? The true Faith, obviously. Who has lost and who has won in the
struggle – the one who keeps the premises or the one who keeps the Faith? True,
the premises are good when the Apostolic Faith is preached there; they are holy
if everything takes place there in a holy way ...
"You are the ones who are
happy; you who remain within the Church by your Faith, who hold firmly
to the foundations of the Faith which has come down to you from Apostolic
Tradition. And if an execrable jealousy has tried to shake it on a number of
occasions, it has not succeeded. They are the ones who have broken away from
it in the present crisis. No one, ever, will prevail against your Faith,
beloved Brothers. And we believe that God will give us our churches back some
day.
"Thus, the more violently they try to occupy the places of worship, the
more they separate themselves from the Church. They claim that they represent the Church;
but in reality, they are the ones who are expelling themselves from it and
going astray.
Who are the others? Answer those following Vatican II
(modernists)
Who is really on the “outside”
Answer: Those following Vatican II
When will God give us back our
churches? Answer: when people quit compromising that includes
these false traditionalists
Does the fact that they are baptized
Catholic have anything to do with us trying to be in those churches? Answer: No they continue on teaching the New
Religion and supporting its new mass they are objectively speaking displeasing
to God

Patristic Testimony To The Abysmal State of the Church at the Time Of The Arian
Heresy
A.D. 360: Saint Gregory Nazianzen
says about this date: "Surely the pastors have done foolishly; for
excepting a very few, who either on account of their insignificance were passed
over, or who by reason of their virtue resisted,
and who were to be left as a seed and root for the springing up again and
revival of Israel (the Church. ed.) by the influence of the Spirit, all
temporized, only differing from each other in this, that some succumbed
earlier, and others later; some were foremost champions and leaders in the
impiety, and others joined the second rank of the battle, being overcome by
fear, or by interests, or by flattery, or, what was the most excusable, by
their own ignorance.
Cappodocia: Saint Basil says about the year 372: "Religious people
keep silence, but every blaspheming tongue is let loose. Sacred things are
profaned; those of the laity who are sound in the
Faith avoid the places of worship as schools of impiety, and raise
their hands in solitude, with groans and tears to the Lord in Heaven."
Four years after he writes: "Matters have come
to this pass: the people have left their houses of prayer, and assembled in the
deserts, – a pitiable sight; women and children, old men, and men otherwise
infirm, wretchedly faring in the open air, amid most profuse rains and
snowstorms and winds and frosts of winter; and again in summer under a
scorching sun. To this they submit, because they will have no part of the
wicked Arian leaven." Again: "Only one offense is now
vigorously punished an accurate observance of our fathers' traditions. For
this cause the pious are driven from their countries and transported into
deserts."
In our time when impious novelties,
liberalism and modernism are ravishing the Church under the pretext of "aggiornamento"
(update!), and infidelity to Catholic Tradition is the order of the day, the
above statements cannot help but strike the reader as a parallel of our time.
As it was then so it is today.
Today we see the loss of faith among
many Catholics occasioned by compromises in the Faith, both great and small,
which have touched on the very essence of our Faith. Recent surveys and polls
show that only 15% of Catholics believe that they have to accept all of the
Church's teachings.
The majority of Church leaders have
succumbed to the "spirit of the age", new doctrines and faithful
Catholics now suffer at the hands of those who should be their protectors.
The Catholic Church survived the
Arian crisis, and so it will survive the present one. For our part, it is our
duty to remain faithful to the unchangeable teaching and Sacred Tradition of
our Holy Catholic Church, and to not compromise our Faith in any way with the
present trend of liberalism and modernism sweeping the Catholic Church
worldwide.
If the Arian crisis proves anything,
if this historical lesson of the fourth century teaches us anything in the
twentieth century it is this: Falsehood cannot become truth no matter how many
accept it but rather the truth of doctrinal teaching is to be judged by its
conformity to Tradition and not by the number or even the authority of those
teaching it. It shows to us that a pope can err as a private teacher and so
much more the bishops. Another point the Arian
crisis brings out is that Catholics true to the traditional faith had to
worship outside the official Churches, their parish churches and even to
avoid them as schools of impiety. It proves that Catholics
may even have to suffer false denunciation and excommunication for their
beliefs as St. Athanasius suffered: today as always we must pray for the
Church, the clergy and especially the bishops and our Holy Father the Pope.
Only the good Lord knows how long this crisis will last but Our Blessed Mother
has given us hope in Her prophecy at Fatima. "In the end my Immaculate
Heart will triumph and there will be peace in the world".
