CARDINAL CUPICH'S BACKWARD DIRECTION TO THE 1970'S AND GASLIGHTING TRADITIONAL CATHOLICS OVER SO-CALLED LITURGICAL RENEWAL

 

 

You know you are being gaslighted when you are being told that everything you believed as a Catholic prior to Vatican II was wrong and that you are the problem for not accepting everything that the discontinuity implementation of Vatican II has wrought as being good. 

In the 1970's and well into the 1980's, for a Catholic to call another Catholic pre-Vatican II, was the greatest insult that could be hurled! It was like the "n" word but acceptable in ecclesial circles of that time and in some places still today!

Liturgically, but also in other ways, Catholics were being gaslighted when they heard:

1. They were so pre-Vatican II if they liked Latin

2. They were so pre-Vatican II if they liked the Traditional Latin Mass

3. They were so pre-Vatican II if they liked to kneel to receive Holy Communion, on the tongue and from a priest

4. They were so pre-Vatican II if they would not chew the Host because our Lord is food that must be chewed!

There are others, of course, but if you preferred any of the four things I listed, you were marginalized, mocked and ridiculed by the clericalism of the clergy, religious and laity of that period. 

And now, the dying breed of 1970's Catholics, dinosaurs of this age, are longing for this 1970's liturgical gaslighting once again. They are nostalgic to say the least!

For anyone to receive Holy Communion by kneeling, they are drawing attention to themselves, disrupting the liturgical flow and unity of receiving Holy Communion. This is what Cardinal Cupich, with the utmost hubris, is promoting in the Year of our Lord 2024!!!!! Is he serious???,

If all the evidence points to the disaster that the "discontinuity" implementation of Vatican II has been for the Church over the past 60 years and you still have popes, bishops, priests, deacons, religious and laity saying it has been a grand success, despite the actual evidence that it hasn't been, you are being gaslighted by these clericalist, backwardist Catholics. 

They either believe what they are saying or prefer a different church than what Jesus' founded! And you are the problem if you don't go along with their proselytizing! 

The Deacon's Bench has a very insightful article on the silliness and hubris of Cardinal Cupich and his 1970's liturgical agenda:

When it comes to receiving Holy Communion, kneeling isn’t the problem

It's time to go backwards but not as far at the 1970's. We need to listen again to Pope Benedict's Christmas speech to the Curia about "Renewal in Continuity" not discontinuity. That is the common sense forward!
