The Lies of Ratzinger - Fr. Michael DeSaye 06-30-24

1. Main SummaryFr. Michael DeSaye warns that the Vatican’s anticipated further suppression of the Traditional Latin Mass is a deliberate effort to dismantle the growing rejection of Vatican II and the Novus Ordo among diocesan traditional Mass attendees. While these groups outwardly claim loyalty to Vatican II, the Novus Ordo, and Bergoglio, he asserts that in reality they despise them—feigning submission only to preserve access to the old Mass.Tracing the roots of the Novus Ordo, Fr. DeSaye recounts the “People’s Mass” experiments of Fr. Pius Parsch in 1922 Austria, which featured many novelties later codified in 1969: vernacular language, versus populum orientation, table altars, congregational singing, popular music, handshakes, and lay processions. He explains how this experimental liturgy spread through Europe, fostering division in parishes and eroding reverence, until it was embraced by John XXIII and Paul VI.The “Ottaviani Intervention” of 1969 condemned the Novus Ordo as a “most serious deviation” from Catholic theology and implied it was invalid. Paul VI ignored the warnings, explicitly abrogated the Traditional Mass, and persecuted priests who celebrated it. Later, Benedict XVI (Ratzinger) fabricated the idea that the old Mass was never abrogated—purely to comfort older Catholics and facilitate a smoother transition to the Novus Ordo. This deception, along with John Paul II’s and Benedict’s “pastoral concessions,” unintentionally fueled a worldwide revival of the Traditional Mass that is now undermining the Vatican II establishment.Fr. DeSaye insists that the Traditional Mass and the Novus Ordo cannot coexist peacefully—just as Christ and Satan cannot coexist. He warns against the SSPX’s claim to be “in communion with Rome” while waging war against it, calling it a lie. The only faithful path is total separation from the Vatican II sect and its clergy, seeking worship, doctrine, and morals free from ambiguity and deception.2. Doctrinal ContextIncompatibility of True and False Worship – Catholic teaching holds that the Church’s worship must be pure and free from error. The Novus Ordo’s Protestant and modernist elements render it harmful and opposed to the Catholic Faith.Historical Continuity of the Mass – The Traditional Latin Mass is not merely a preference but an unbroken expression of the Catholic Faith; replacing it with a fabricated rite is an attack on the Church’s unity and indefectibility.Moral Theology: Sedition – While not outright schism, actions fostering rebellion against lawful Catholic authority (real authority, not counterfeit) are morally grave—yet rejecting false claimants and a counterfeit religion is a duty.Papal Authority and Heresy – A true pope cannot promulgate harmful worship; the promulgation of the Novus Ordo is proof that its authors were not true popes.Separation from Error – The faithful must avoid not only false rites but also clergy and institutions that promote or compromise with them.3. Key Quotes“They are practically sedevacantists in everything but name.”“They have dedicated their entire lives to a lie—the lie that they are Catholic.”“The People’s Mass became a symbol of dissent, rebellion, and protest… everyone who wanted change gravitated to it.”“A most serious deviation from the theology of the Catholic Mass… teeming with errors against the integrity of the Catholic religion.” (Ottaviani Intervention)“Clearly, he did not promulgate the Novus Ordo by accident—he knew exactly what he was doing.”“The Traditional Mass can never exist peacefully alongside the Novus Ordo any more than Christ can exist peacefully alongside Satan.”“It is impossible to be fighting against someone and in communion with them at the same time.”4. Key Points & TakeawaysSuppression of the Traditional Mass Is Deliberate – The Vatican sees it as a threat to Vatican II and the Novus Ordo.Pre–Vatican II Roots of the Novus Ordo – Liturgical experimentation began decades before 1969.The Ottaviani Intervention – Condemned the Novus Ordo as doctrinally corrupt and implied it was invalid.Paul VI’s Direct Responsibility – He explicitly abrogated the Traditional Mass and punished priests who celebrated it.Benedict XVI’s Historical Revisionism – Fabricated the claim that the Mass was never abrogated as a pastoral tactic, not a defense of tradition.Coexistence Is Impossible – The Traditional Mass and Novus Ordo represent two opposing religions.Reject False “Communion” Claims – Groups like the SSPX contradict themselves by claiming communion with Rome while operating in defiance of it.True Catholic Worship Exists Outside the Vatican II Sect – The faithful must seek it without compromise.5. ConclusionFr. DeSaye dismantles the illusion that the Traditional Mass can survive indefinitely within the structures of the Vatican II religion. The history of liturgical experimentation, the documented theological corruption of the Novus Ordo, and the deliberate suppression of the Traditional Mass prove that the post–Vatican II hierarchy is consciously advancing a counterfeit religion. “Reconciliation” efforts like those of John Paul II and Benedict XVI were never about restoring tradition, but about phasing it out.The faithful must face the reality that the Traditional Mass and the Novus Ordo are irreconcilable—one is Catholic, the other is not. This demands not half-measures or “resistance” within the system, but total separation from it, seeking the Catholic Faith in its fullness and purity.6. Commentary from a Sedevacantist Pre–Vatican II PerspectiveThis homily makes explicit what many traditionalists have felt for decades: the Novus Ordo is not a legitimate development but a rupture—a deliberate replacement of Catholic worship with a man-made construct designed to advance modernism. Fr. DeSaye’s historical account shows that this revolution was decades in the making and that its authors, from Paul VI onward, acted knowingly.By exposing the falsity of Benedict XVI’s “never abrogated” narrative, he removes a key psychological crutch that has allowed many to remain attached to diocesan traditional Masses under the illusion that they are safe. His assertion that the SSPX’s “in communion” claim is inherently contradictory further challenges half-measures that leave the faithful spiritually compromised.From a traditional Catholic standpoint, the only coherent conclusion is that the post–Vatican II Church is a counterfeit religion and its rites, ministers, and doctrines must be rejected entirely. The true Mass cannot be tolerated by this system because it exposes the falsity of its reforms; therefore, it must be sought and preserved outside its control.TrueCatholicFaith.com
