Crisis Series #24 w/ Fr. Franks: The New Mass: Proclaiming a New Theology

We’ll continue our discussion of the Novus Ordo Mass today with Fr. Paul-Isaac Franks, professor of Theology at Saint Marys College. Last time, we looked at the New Mass’s Ecumenical intent. Today, we’ll see how the New Mass is a direct expression of the New Theology that was condemned by Pope Pius XII. But this problematic theology came back in full force during the second Vatican council, and when the New Mass was developed, it drew on this new theology, putting aside much of the traditional theology contained in the Church’s Magisterium.

This series is one of the best histories of the evolution of the current attack on the Church ever compiled. It is concise, it is reliably constructed, and it is in a medium that makes it very accessible and sharable. Thank you Andrew and SSPX Fathers. God bless you.

This explains SO MUCH! As a Protestant who has been "peeking through the windows" of the Catholic Church for while, this has been a helpful explaination of everything that is wrong with the world. For so long I have been wondering why everything about the modern world seems to be in a state of total collapse...even Christianity itself. This is the reason seeking political solutions to the world's problems will NEVER work! The old saying that politics is downstream from culture is literally true. Why? The heart of the culture is the 'cultus' of the people. If you change the way people worship (the liturgy), you change the way they behave in life and the world. The communists and the modernists understood this. You must change the theology so you can change the liturgy, thereby changing the 'cultus' of the the people and their culture. When you change the culture, that changes everything about the world including politics and the state.

Thank you Andrew and to all SSPX Priests for your time to share crises in the church. I attend a SSPX in DFW, TX and I stopped going to Novus Ordos near my house which is 7 mins away and I travel 45 mins to attend SSPX. I see and witness a difference and I will not go back to know to the new mass.

After attending the TLM for 2 years, I find the NO Mass a mockery.

Thank you Father for reassuring us traditionalists. It's so true that children love justice!! My grandson is 6 years old and he sure loves Justice! May God bless you Fr and the SSPX .

Thank you SSPX for this wonderful series!

This is frightening as there must be many people who do not know how irreverent the New Mass is and go along with it.

Fr. Franks has the rare quality to balance lightness and sacred. Love to hear him speaking.

[donaldmorgan]

Another excellent episode. Thank you Andrew, and thank you Father Franks for educating us about the real intentions of the "reformers".

[billyork]

Nice to hear from Fr Franks! He is an excellent theologian. Seems only a second since I last saw him in Nottingham! Learned so much about the Trinity that day!!

[ElkArrow]

Brilliant. Not too complex. Very, very good

[jenniferbrannon]

Father is on fire 🔥! So good! Thank you!!

[greyhoundmama]

Awesome summary of the "vandalism" of the Novus Ordo Mass.

[JamesBond-qdrc]

Very informative. Seems there are two religions in one church. The truth and an ape of the truth.

[mirajimenez]

By God's grace, may SSPX grow in number of good and devout Catholics....

Thank you SSPX for this series and innumerable services provided to the faithful since your inception. May the Holy Ghost guide your apostolate and persevere in preserving the faith of our forefathers.

Putting aside his ecclesiology, I have found the late Fr. Cekada’s “Work of Human Hands” incredibly insightful, accessible, and witty (one must laugh in order not to cry). The book is a worthwhile consideration for those without a theology background that are looking to understand the history and impact of the liturgical “reform.”

This Crisis in the Church series, nonetheless, has been both broad and deep, always accessible, and more importantly: clear!

Keep up the good work.
