Arlington's Burbidge Quashes The Traditional Latin Mass

Today Bishop Burbidge of the Diocese of Arlington published this edict in the Arlington Catholic Herald.  The 21 locations where the Traditional Latin Mass was celebrated have been reduced to 8; that's about 1/3 of the locations.  They are simply implementing the hatred that Pope Francis has for the Mass of the Ages - a Mass where true worship is offered to God and that shows the so-called "conciliar reforms" to be an utter travesty.  I think that last point irks the progressives the most, for the graces from that Mass are a more formidable bulwark against the new-world-order great reset.  At least they understand that last point, and that's more than can be said for the otherwise-goodhearted folks attending the Novus Ordo.  They remain blithely oblivious to the spiritual battle raging about them, often blinding themselves deliberately.

No more can we content ourselves with offering wimpy, whiney little pleas to these bishops.  We must resist them and do so now.  Let's take example from this incident of 30 years ago in France.

Plenary Indulgence For Attending 2018 March For Life

Cardinal Wuerl of the Archdiocese of Washington and Bishop Burbidge of the neighboring Diocese of Arlington announced today that Catholics who attend the March for Life in Washington DC next month will be able to gain a plenary indulgence for doing so, providing all other requisite conditions are met.

I've often thought that it would be appropriate to attach indulgences to various pro-life outreaches.  Many of these involve multiple works of mercy, both spiritual and corporal, and are undertaken with varying degrees of hardships to the participants.  I commend both Cardinal Wuerl and Bishop Burbidge for taking this step.  I pray it continues.
