TRADITIO, in Latin,
means to give. Tradition is a gift from one generation to the next. For over two
thousand years, our fathers have passed down the greatest gift that we could
ever ask for. What can we do as Catholics to make sure our children and future
generations will receive the same gift?
We must not settle with being content and knowing that one day our
children may have no mass to attend!
We are aware of Saint Jude's
Shrine in Stafford, Texas. Father Campbell, who resides there, is a remarkable
priest and the Church is full of faithful Catholics. There is no doubt that
Father Campbell is a true Priest who offers the True Mass. And yes, Saint
Jude’s Shrine is an excellent Church to attend.
HOWEVER, we are
openly sedevacantists. This blog
exists, because we are concerned with the future of Traditional Catholicism in
Houston. Although, it is a blessing to have one or two Priests, it would be a
blessing to channel our attention to the severe
issue. It is time to start thinking
about not only our generation but for our children and the future of Catholics.
We no longer want to worry about what will become of our Mass if
something were to happen to our current Priests, such as an illness, a death,
or even a possible conversion to SSPX or Novus Ordo (New Church).
There have been incidences where this has occurred before. One specific
example would be: Christ the King Church in Alabama. Fr. Giardina, the head of the
Abbey, died, and a couple of Priests under him were planning to give
away that Holy Church of God to the deceitful Novus Ordo (New Church) and they
almost had their way, but right before the Church could be taken
over, Bishop Pivaranus (a true traditional Bishop) sent a Priest
there to perform Mass. Those Catholics almost lost their Mass and were
nearly left for dead in spiritual desert, but thanks to His Excellency, that
did not occur.
Our goal is to find enough families
who would be willing to have Mass at least once a month from a Priest sent by
one of these Sedevacantist Bishops (Bishop Pivaranus, Bishop Dolan, or Bishop
Sanborn). If something were to happen to our Priest, another would immediately
be sent by the Bishop. We will no longer need to worry about losing our Mass.
Eventually, if we get enough
people over time, our plan is to have Mass at a permanent location. We believe
it is possible to have a Church headed by true Bishops, with true Priests, and
filled with true Catholics right here in Houston!
Faithful Catholics, the need for
Priests is becoming greater every day. By being under a Bishop, we will have
what we need in order to have a permanent Mass. We know this will take time,
but remember how much time passed before our Church was brought down into ruins.
Let us reverse this and rebuild what we once had!
