QuoteA German Catholic website reported that, according to its sources, the Vatican is planning a crackdown soon on the traditional Ecclesia Dei communities, going so far as to implement "papal delegates" for them and suppressing the use of the traditional Roman missal and its sacraments.

LifeSiteNews found a source who confirmed that Rome is preparing for visitations of the three largest communities to take place in February 2022. These are the Priestly Fraternity of St. Peter, the Institute of Christ the King Sovereign Priest, and the Institute of the Good Shepherd.

Apparently, Rome is of the opinion that the status of the communities as "societies of pontifical right" opens up immediate possibilities of access. For this purpose, "papal delegates" could be appointed who, although they would not replace the existing superior as would a commissioner appointed by the Congregation for Religious Orders, would nevertheless be superior to him. These papal delegates would instruct superiors to take all necessary measures to "reconcile their communities with the spirit of the Council" and, as a fundamental first step toward this, to order the general celebration of the reformed liturgy. On this basis, plans for its inclusion in pastoral care could then be developed in collaboration with local bishops.

You can't have a bunch of True Blue Catholics growing like mad in the visible Church and have the Church join the world at the same time. Something has got to break. It looks like FSSP, ICKSP, and IGS are going to see the bottom of Francis's boot right in the face. All that money and time spent just to end up Novus Ordo. What a shame.

The Priestly Fraternity of St. Peter is in for some real hurt since they have the name of "St. Peter" right in the name of their society. They will have (or so they will believe) to obey everything that comes down from on high. This is really going to hurt. Ouch!

Sad but that's what they get. If you lie down with dogs you get up with fleas.

As I said before, TC is the best thing to have ever happened to SSPX. The question is how many of these ED priest will cuck further and become 100% Novus Ordo versus how many will flee to the SSPX. Also, will the SSPX mandate conditional re-ordinations and have other measures to white these trad-lite priests into shape (for example: must renounce the NO, V2, and cease referring to NO "Popes" as "Saints")?

If attending Mass, the ordinary form as celebrated everyday around the world be sinful, then the Church no longer exists. Period.
Rather, if the NOM were the lex credendi of the Church, then the Church would no longer exist. However, the true mass and the true sacraments still exist and will hold the candle of faith until Our Lord steps in to restore His Bride to her glory.
We could compare ourselves to the Catholics in England at the time of the Reformation. Was it sinful for them to attend Cranmer's service?
We have to remind ourselves that all the machinery of the "Church" continued in place. They had priests, bishops, churches, cathedrals. But all of them were using the new "Book of Common Prayer" instead of the Catholic Mass. Ordinary lay people could see with their own eyes an enormous entity that called itself the "Church," but did the true Church still exist in that situation? Meanwhile, in small hiding places in certain homes were a handful of true priests offering the true Mass at the risk of imprisonment, torture and death.

I think the analogy is different, it's more like trying to fight a fungus that takes over the host's brain and kills it.

While the SSPX is necessary to continue the fight, you shouldn't lie down while the Body of Christ is being destroyed like the parasite in the above video. Carinal Burke, Cardinal Schneider, and many of the good Cardinals and Bishops of the Church like Archbishop Cordileone need to continue the fight, even if they go down dying.

Didn't they say something like this was going to happen this past September?
Schaff Recht mir Gott und führe meine Sache gegen ein unheiliges Volk . . .   .                          
Lex Orandi, lex credendi, lex vivendi.
"Die Welt sucht nach Ehre, Ansehen, Reichtum, Vergnügen; die Heiligen aber suchen Demütigung, Verachtung, Armut, Abtötung und Buße." --Ausschnitt von der Geschichte des Lebens St. Bennos.

When their entire schtick (or "charism") is to do the TLM with the permission of Francis, they better lie down. If they don't lie down, they will become ABL 2.0 except also hypocrites for attacking the SSPX for doing the same thing.
