This is the second part of a document written by a priest named Fr. Morrison around the turn of this century. Fr. Morrison appraises the well-known book, AA-1025: The Memoirs of an Anti-Apostle, comparing the goals of Communism with the observable fruits of Vatican II – the Church’s ‘auto-demolition’ . See part I here.
Republished from ‘Catholic Apologetics‘
PART II – Plan for the auto-destruction of the Catholic Church, specifically as they relate to the destruction of the Mass and Sacraments.
The author prefaces her narrative by observing:
No, the very virtue of obedience is today the extremely powerful weapon that our enemies, who pretend to be our friends, make use of against what we were, to put up in its stead what they have decided to have us become.
The Anti-Apostle makes clear the basis of his plan to effect the auto-destruction of the Church. His seminary career started before well before Vatican II, so the elements of his plan now bear chilling fulfillment in our time.
Here are some extensive excerpts from the Communist-Liberalist-Modernist plan for the auto-destruction of the Catholic Church, specifically as they relate to the destruction of the Mass and Sacraments, together with our commentary on how they have come true in less than fifty years:
The Modernist plan of 1940
“The professor also taught me a reasonable way to say Mass, since in six years I would be obliged to say it. While waiting for a profound modification of the whole ceremony [how did he know about this in 1940?], he never pronounced the words of the Consecration.
But so as not to be suspected, he pronounced words almost similar, at least according to the ending of the words. He advised me to do the same. All that made this ceremony look like a sacrifice should, little by little, be suppressed. The whole ceremony should represent only a common meal, as among Protestants.”
Mission accomplished by the Vatican II New Order
The “profound modification of the whole ceremony,” as predicted, became the Novus Ordo service, which defines itself as a “common meal,” not a Sacrifice.”
The Modernist plan of 1940
“He even assured me that it should never have been otherwise. He also worked at the elaboration of a new Ordinary of the Mass and advised me also to do the same, because it appeared to him to be altogether desirable to present to people a large number of diversified Masses.
There must be some, very short, for families and small groups, some longer ones, for Feast Days, although, according to him, the real feast for the working classes is a walk in Nature. He thought that he could easily arrive at a point of considering Sunday as a day consecrated to Nature.”
Mission accomplished by the Vatican II New Order
There are many variations of the New Order service. One traditional apostolic Canon became three man-made “Eucharistic prayers,” which have now proliferated well beyond that number.
There are so many options for the form of the New Order service that most Novus Ordo churches don’t use an official missal, but a pastiche of xeroxed pages contained in a three-ring binder at the altar, so that the service can be changed on a moment’s notice, or be improvised “as the spirit moves.”
Moreover, Nature has become the modern-day Earth Goddess, Gaia1, the green pagan goddess of the environmental movement, in which it is more morally reprehensible to kill a dog than to murder a child.
The Modernist plan of 1940
“Afterwards come the Seven Sacraments, which are all to be revised.”
Mission accomplished by the Vatican II New Order
Not a single one of the seven Sacraments has been left untouched in the Novus Ordo.
The Modernist plan of 1940
“As for the Sacrament called Penance, it would be replaced by a community ceremony, which will only be an examination of conscience directed by a well-trained priest, all of which would be followed by a general absolution, as in some Protestant Churches. God will not be mentioned in this ceremony, which will not be called a Sacrament anymore (because this word must also disappear from the vocabulary).”
Mission accomplished by the Vatican II New Order
Already this pseudo-sacrament has replaced the Sacrament of Penance in most churches.
The Modernist plan of 1940
“As for the Sacrament of Extreme Unction, we will have to find another word for it…. We will have to see to it that the notion of eternal life, judgment, Heaven, Purgatory, or Hell be replaced by the sole desire to be cured….. I would willingly choose the expression “Sacrament of the sick.”
Mission accomplished by the Vatican II New Order
Just as the Anti-Apostle planned in 1940, the Sacrament of Extreme Unction, so powerful to reconcile to eternity the soul in its last hour, has been obliterated and in its place a mere “blessing of the sick” substituted with the very name that the Anti-Apostle suggested, the “sacrament of the sick.”
I have been called in at the last minute to attend a soul when it realises that Church of the New Order has not the power to absolve it or to prepare it for eternity. Believe me, the vapid Church of the New Order looks quite different to a soul when faced with the seriousness of eternity!
The Modernist plan of 1940
“It is of prime necessity completely to reform the words of the Mass, and it will be well even to suppress the word itself and to replace it by “The Lord’s Supper” or by “Eucharist” (for example). The Renovation of the Mass must minimize the importance of what they call “Consecration” and must give to the Communion a much more trivial appearance.”
Mission accomplished by the Vatican II New Order
You might call it a “Mass,” but that is not what they call it. Just as the Anti-Apostle planned in 1940, the terms Lord’s Supper or Eucharist have become much more common. The “consecration” of the Novus Ordo service has in fact been minimised2: not even the Catholic and Apostolic words, confirmed as dogma by the Council of Trent, have been left untampered.
The Modernist plan of 1940
“We will suggest the possibility of abandoning the high altar and of replacing it by a small table, completely bare, where the priest will stand facing the people.”
Mission accomplished by the Vatican II New Order
First the “turned-around” T.V. table was optional; then it was recommended. Now, according to the 2000 third edition of the Novus Ordo missal, it is required.
The Modernist plan of 1940
“Each text forming the Ordinary of the Mass will be carefully compared with the texts used by the Anglicans and Lutherans, in order to promote a single text of varying texts apt to be accepted by these three religions.”
Mission accomplished by the Vatican II New Order
It is well known that the Masonic Grand Architect of the Novus Ordo service used six Protestants to help him write the new service, with the full approval of Paul VI, who gladly posed for an historic photograph with the six, which was published by the Vatican Press Office.
The six publicly attested to the fact that the Novus Ordo service had been so changed in comparison to the Traditional Latin Mass that they had no problem whatsoever using it as their own Protestant worship service from then on.
The Modernist plan of 1940
“To weaken further the notion of ‘Real Presence’ of Christ, all decorum will have to be set aside. No more costly embroidered vestments, no more sacred music, especially no more Gregorian chant, but a music in jazz style.”
Mission accomplished by the Vatican II New Order
In fact, the traditional vestments of the Church have been replaced by an all-purpose slip-over alb. What passes for “music” in the Novus Ordo service is a cacophony of electronic pianos, drums, and rock-based rhythms and tunes.
The pipe organ, the Church’s only authentic instrument, has been relegated to oblivion — or sold to nearby Protestant churches. The Church whose music was once the envy of the world and all its cultures now panders the “junk culture” to the world, with the pope personally attending rock concerts and expressing his preference for them over anything religious.
The Modernist plan of 1940
“Moreover, the faithful will have to break themselves of the habit of kneeling, and this will be absolutely forbidden when receiving Communion.”
Mission accomplished by the Vatican II New Order
This plank from the 1940 plan has been fulfilled before our very eyes! Just this month the U.S. bishops have banned kneeling for “communion” at Novus Ordo services. Many dioceses already prevent kneeling during the most sacred part of the service, the Canon. And because many Novus Ordinarians still insist on kneeling, many churches have removed the kneelers!
The Modernist plan of 1940
“In order to destroy all sacredness in the worship, the priest will be invited to say the whole Mass in the vernacular.”
Mission accomplished by the Vatican II New Order
Although the use of vernacular in the Mass was condemned with the censure of excommunication by the dogmatic Council of Trent, and even though Vatican II confirmed this dogma, the reality of the Church of the Novus Ordo is quite different.
A virtual babble (Babel) of vulgar tongues has intruded into what is supposed to be the Sacred Liturgy. It is interesting that the word vernacular comes from the Latin word for slave, vernaculus, and indeed the Church of the New Order has enslaved its congregations to a phony “mass” and a a phoney “communion,” which, far from being able to impart any graces, has admitted, in the words of Pope Paul VI, “Satan around the altar.”
So, do we traditional Catholics sink into despair and hopelessness, even into distrust of God, knowing that the New Order has been executed exactly according to the plan of atheistic Modernists as early as 1940?
No! I end this commentary by quoting from the truly Catholic woman whom the Anti-Apostle met — sent by God to save him if that were possible, who knows? God gives even atheistic Modernists a chance at grace, if they will but accept it and convert.
“Many souls, my Dear, will yield to the temptation of joining a completely human Church, which will mix up all beliefs so as to render them unrecognisable, but the [true] Catholic Church will continue to stand.
If you persecute it, it will go into hiding, but its soul will always remain standing. For the mark of this Church is the submission to a Revelation which comes from Heaven….
You might win a certain number of souls to your perverse doctrines, maybe even a part of the Clergy (although I do not believe it), but you will never win all the souls; on the contrary, you will fortify the Saints.
Yes, my poor dear friend, by attacking the Church of God you are but a toy in the hands of the All-Powerful. You believe yourself to be strong, but you are only strong insofar as God permits.
Fear the day when the Lord will say: “It is enough, I have heard the prayers of those who suffer, and I have decided to comfort them by destroying My enemies.”
And that, my fellow traditional Catholics, is the explanation of what is going on in the Church today. It is a great test of our souls and of our sanctity. The magnitude of the forces against true Catholicism, even if it be within the Church, even if it be to the papacy itself, is but nothing against the All-Powerful.
It is up to us merely to keep the traditional Faith, to keep praying for the restoration of the Church, and one day the enemies of the Church will be destroyed as Marie Carré says — maybe sooner, maybe later, but the Faith teaches us that the question is not if, but when.
