WHY THE "LATIN" MASS?

​

Let's first revise the page, "Biblia", the Bible. It's clear the first complete Bible, including both the Old and New Testaments were compiled as one volume translated into Latin by St. Jerome in 382 A.D.

 

Latin is the most unique language in all history because it's a "dead language", which means that remains globally active, unchangeable. Since it no longer evolves, it provides a permanent, "universal foundation" for scientific, legal, and theological terminology. Its highly structured, puzzle-like grammar trains the brain in logical problem-solving anchoring English from the ancient language.

​

During the first three centuries, the Church celebrated Christ's sacrifice as "the Eucharist" (meaning "thanksgiving"), the Breaking of the Bread, or "the Liturgy" (communal, and divine worship). Even as early as  Pope Victor I, the 14th Pope in Rome began replacing the language of the liturgy from Greek (which Jesus and the apostles used), into the new Latin language emerging by the 2nd and 3rd centuries. St. Justin Martyr in 150 A.D., during Pope Victor I reign, recorded that early Christians were gathering to celebrate and offer the holy sacrifice, not just once per year as ancient Israel did at passover, but as Jesus commanded, ~ "...as often as they met together..." (1 Corinthians 11:25)

​

By the 4th century, the entire Roman Empire including many lands spoke Latin, including all the Church the bishops established around the known world of the empire.

 

It was therefore, in the 4th century that the bishops around the known world, "universally", adapted Pope Victor I's directive to refer to the liturgy as "the Mass", (the central act of worship, consisting of prayers, scripture readings, and the celebration of the Eucharist (Holy Communion) in Latin only.

 

Though languages existed in many lands around the world, and evolved, the language of the Church and its liturgy remained unchanged universally in the Latin liturgy, the Latin Mass, to this day.

​

Did the "Latin" Mass change when the Latin Vulgate was translated into English in 1582 A.D.?

​

Pope "Saint" Pius V, Quo Primum Tempore, July 14, 1570: “Now, therefore, in order that all everywhere may adopt and observe what has been delivered to them by the Catholic Church, it shall be unlawful henceforth and forever throughout the Christian world to sing or to read Masses according to any formula other than this Missal, (the Latin) no one whosoever is permitted to infringe or rashly contravene this notice of Our permission, statute, grant, ordinance, command, direction, indult, declaration, will, decree, and prohibition.  Should any venture to do so, let him understand that he will incur the wrath of Almighty God and of the blessed Apostles St Peter and St Paul."

​

A study of the propers and orations of the Traditional Latin Mass (TLM) versus the New Mass reveals a massive departure of the Traditional Faith. The traditional Missal contains 1182 orations (Prayers over the offerings (prayers), the priest says "Oremus" (Latin for "Let us pray").

                                                     

About 760 orations were dropped entirely from the Novus Ordo Mass.  Of the 36% which remained, the revisers altered over half of them before introducing them into the new Missal.  Thus, only some 17% of the orations from the TLM made it untouched into the New Mass. 

 

The New Mass abolished the following orations from the original Traditional (TLM) Orations:

• the depravity of sin

• the snares of wickedness

• the grave offense of sin

• the way to perdition

• terror in the face of God’s fury

• God’s indignation

• the blows of His wrath

• the burden of evil

• temptations

• wicked thoughts

• dangers to the soul

• enemies of soul and body  

                           

Also eliminated from the New Mass;

• the hour of death

• the loss of heaven

• everlasting death

• eternal punishment

• the pains of Hell and its fire

                               

Finally, the New Mass described detachment from the world

• prayers for the departed

• the true Faith and the existence of heresy

• the references to the Church militant

• the merits of the saints

• miracles

• Hell 

​

The Novus Ordo (Mass of Paul VI) Included offertory prayers were revised to mirror "Jewish seder prayers" (berakhot) over the bread and wine. The Talmud prayers emphasize creation, "the work of human hands", rather than the sacrificial, expiatory focus on God, the body of Christ.  Clearly, beyond the shadow of doubt, since implementation of the new mass in 1969, the new conciliar religion in modern Rome has, "crossed the Rubicon", as Matthew pointed out in Daniel's prophecy, that this Novus Ordo Missae is, in fact, "the abomination causing desolation".  (Matthew 24:15)

​

NOTICE WHAT ALL PREVIOUS POPES "BEFORE" PAUL VI (6) TAUGHT ON THIS

   

​

Pope Eugene IV, Council of Florence, 1439: “All these sacraments are made up of three elements: namely, things as the matter, words as the form, and the person of the minister who confers the sacrament with the intention of doing what the Church does.  If any of these is lacking, the sacrament is not effected.”

  

Pope Eugene IV, Council of Florence, Cantate Domino, 1441: “…the holy Roman Church, relying on the teaching and authority of the apostles Peter and Paul… uses this form of words in the consecration of the Lord’s Body: FOR THIS IS MY BODY. And of His blood: FOR THIS IS THE CHALICE OF MY BLOOD, OF THE NEW AND ETERNAL TESTAMENT: THE MYSTERY OF FAITH, WHICH SHALL BE SHED FOR YOU AND FOR MANY UNTO THE REMISSION OF SINS.“

   

In Pope St. Pius V’s Decree De Defectibus, we find the same words repeated:

Pope St. Pius V, De Defectibus, chapter 5, Part 1: “The words of Consecration, which are the FORM of this Sacrament, are these: FOR THIS IS MY BODY.  And: FOR THIS IS THE CHALICE OF MY BLOOD, OF THE NEW AND ETERNAL TESTAMENT: THE MYSTERY OF FAITH, WHICH SHALL BE SHED FOR YOU AND FOR MANY UNTO THE REMISSION OF SINS.  Now if one were to remove, or change anything in the FORM of the consecration of the Body and Blood, and in that very change of words the [new] wording would fail to mean the same thing, he would not consecrate the sacrament.”

​

Bybcontrast to:

​

Paul VI, who changed the very words of Christ in his new Novus Ordo Missae. 

“For this is my body. It shall be shed for you and for ALL for the forgiveness of sin."  

​

What Christ said recorded in Matthew 26:28, Mark 14:22-25, Luke 22:14-20, is this;

“For this is my body. It shall be shed for you and for MANY for the forgiveness of sin."

                        

Cunning and subtle are the ways of Satan and his diabolical seed to mislead. (Genesis 3:15)

​

Changing Jesus words invalidates the entire Mass, by adding, deleting or changing any words in His prayers, which is what thesen Freemasonic Talmudic Jewish influenced heretics did. Jesus’s blood is effective for the salvation of the MANY (who put their faith in Him and obey His commands, ) and not for ALL men. ALL would mean there is salvation outside the Catholic Church, which is what the new Novus Ordo religion in modern Rome teaches. Novus Ordo teaches "universalism", the theological belief that all human souls will ultimately be saved and reconciled with God, negating the concept of eternal, unremitting punishment. Jesus made it abundantly clear, 

"No man cometh to the Father, but by me." ~ John 14:6, and Matthew 7:21, 

"Not every one that saith to me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven: but he that doth the will of my Father who is in heaven, he shall enter into the kingdom of heaven."

 

The Catechism of the Council of Trent, on the Form of the Eucharist, p. 227: “The additional words for you and for many, are taken, from Matthew and from Luke, but were joined together by the Catholic Church under the guidance of the Holy Ghost. They serve to declare the fruit and advantage of His Passion. For if we look to its value, we must confess that the Redeemer (Jesus) shed His Blood for the salvation for MANY, He meant those who were present, His disciples, chosen from among the Jewish people, with the exception of Judas, with whom He was speaking to the elect, not everyone, ALL .

   

St. Alphonsus De Liguori, Treatise on the Holy Eucharist: “The words for you and for many are used to distinguish the virtue of the Blood of Christ from its fruits: for the Blood of Our Savior is of sufficient value to save all men (of good will) but its fruits are applied only to many, not to all, and this is their own fault…”
