Secrets

You demand proof of the secrecy of the reforms that led to the new Mass of 1969?

I lived through the 1960s, and no one knew what was going on in Rome. What Annibale Bugnini was doing was a secret, and the information was withheld from the average Catholic. I defy anyone who lived through the 1960s to tell me you knew what was going on.

​If the changes were legal and justified, why the secrecy? If they were based on what Christ taught, why the secrecy? Now that I know what happened, I feel tricked and lied to. Now you know what I mean when I say I was denied a vocation. It occurred in 1969, and my better sense told me to stay out.

I have two high school friends who entered the Jesuits and are still in. They would not even consort with me now. Leftists set their standards for others too high. I do not. If you like me, you’re my friend. That is all it takes.

We now know that the enemies wanted to take away everything Catholic, things I did not take for granted and loved but which they hated.

Also, I would have laughed at you if you said there was sexual abuse going on. More trickery that passed by me.

I had one teacher in high school, my senior English class, and only one such, who was an instigator and did not belong in a high school teaching 17-year-old boys and displaying his rebelliousness to us. Even as an immature boy, I knew that all he wanted was trouble.

Dishonest manipulators were they all.

That is why I will not budge an inch when it comes to tradition, not one inch.
