Cardinal Eijk: Clergy Skilfully Strangled the Once Strong Faith after the 1960s

Cardinal Willem Eijk of Utrecht celebrated his first public Mass in the Roman rite on Sunday at the Church of the Immaculate Conception (known as the Grote Kerk) in Oss, the Netherlands. In his homily (video below), he spoke about the Gospel of the multiplication of the loaves and fishes.
Cardinal Eijk recounted an example from the 1950s in the Netherlands. A priest teaching religion at a Catholic school told students that the multiplication of the loaves should not be taken literally, since such a miracle would be impossible. Instead, he explained it as a moral story: people shared the food they already had because they were inspired by Jesus’ preaching about love.
Eijk added that this kind of denial destroyed the faith of many Catholics.
He recalled that in the 1950s and 1960s the once-strong Church in the Netherlands collapsed, identifying one of the causes as poor preaching by clergy who themselves undermined belief.
According to him, the faith of once-convinced Catholics was “…More

A historic moment in the Netherlands: Pontifical Mass by Cardinal Willem Jacobus Eijk according to the ancient Roman rite
In a time when there is often talk of a crisis of identity and memory within Western civilization, there are moments that strongly remind us that the heart of the Catholic Church still beats to the rhythm of its two thousand years of tradition, which we call Tradition. One such extremely important moment in the history of the Church occurred yesterday, on Laetare Sunday, March 15, 2026, in the city of Oss, where His Eminence Willem Jacobus Eijk presided over a solemn Pontifical Mass according to the traditional Roman rite (Vetus Ordo).
The liturgical celebration was held in the historic Grote Kerk (Great Church), dedicated to Our Lady of the Immaculate Conception, and this event represented for many believers a historic moment in contemporary Catholic life in the Netherlands. Namely, this is the first Pontifical Solemn Mass celebrated in this country by a Dutch bishop …More

U vremenu kada se često govori o krizi identiteta i pamćenja unutar zapadne civilizacije, postoje trenutci koji snažno podsjećaju da srce Katoličke Crkve i dalje kuca u ritmu njezine dvotisućljetne predaje, što nazivamo Tradicijom. Jedan takav iznimno važan trenutak u povijesti Crkve dogodio se jučer, na Laetare nedjelju, 15. ožujka 2026., u gradu Oss, gdje je Njegova Eminencija Willem Jacobus Eijk predvodio svečanu Pontifikalnu Misu prema tradicionalnom rimskom obredu (Usus Antiquior).
Liturgijsko slavlje održano je u povijesnoj crkvi Grote Kerk (Velika crkva), posvećenoj Gospi od Bezgrešnog Začeća, a ovaj je događaj za mnoge vjernike predstavljao povijesni trenutak u suvremenom katoličkom životu Nizozemske.

The SSPX has effectively said: Rome will not provide what the crisis demands, so we must. Will Leo XIV try to punish that act of survival while continuing to tolerate, validate, and even canonically absorb acts that would have been treated as genuine schism in any sane Catholic century?"

(LifeSiteNews) — In an interview with Diane Montagna on January 20, 2026, Bishop Athanasius Schneider draws attention to some historical facts about the liturgical reform after the Second Vatican Council, which most bishops and cardinals ignore or are no longer aware of:
The liturgical constitution Sacrosanctum concilium was adopted on December 4, 1963, and provided guidelines for the reform of the Mass and other liturgical rites. It contained theological and pastoral principles. The actual implementation was entrusted to the Pontifical Commission (Consilium ad exsequendam Constitutionem de Sacra Liturgia). On January 27, 1965, a revised form of the order of Mass was published under the direction of the Consilium: Ordo Missae. Ritus servandus in celebratione missae … Editio typica 1965. This Ordo Missae legally replaced parts of the Missale Romanum of 1962 and introduced the first changes.

The infamous theologian of the Communist church of Liberation Theology, Queiruga, says: "The resurrection is not only not a miracle, but it is not even an empirical event." - and he remains alive!?
In addition, this communist theologian will hold a "lecture" in Spain's largest seminary in Santiago de Compostela.
And Bishop Francisco José Prieto Fernández, presumably of the same Church of Liberation Theology, will lead the "mass celebration" (of course "celebration"!) immediately before the conference of that heretic communist theologian.
But they are not the only ones. Many others, who once were probably more than just "CINO's" (Catholics in name only), fell as victims of the great masonic-communist hoax of the century, the so-called Liberation Theology. This could be clearly seen from the example of Jorge Mario Bergoglio, as well as his successor Roberto Prevost Rigittano.

Mass of Ages is a holy Sacrifice to the Holy Vader in Heaven! Amen.

Ad Orientem: Why the Mass Is a Sacrifice, Not a Performance
This video is part of TAN Books’ Year of the Latin Mass, a year-long initiative to restore reverence, clarity, and continuity in Catholic worship. Question: Why does the direction of the priest matter at Mass? In this reflection, Conor Gallagher explores ad orientem, the ancient practice of priest and people facing east together, and why this single outward gesture reveals the true nature of the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. The Mass is not first a communal meal or a performance for the congregation. It is the offering of the Lamb of God to the Father for the remission of sins. When worship turns inward, something subtle but devastating shifts in the soul of the liturgy and in the soul of man. Ad orientem restores the original axis of worship. It reorients the heart away from what is convenient, comfortable, or entertaining, and back toward what is worthy, beautiful, and true. Facing east teaches us to ask the right question, …More

A Sect Born of Vatican II’s Spirit
The Neo-Catechumenal Way (NCW) was born in 1964 in the wake of Vatican II, founded by layman Francisco “Kiko” Argüello and Carmen Hernández. It bills itself as an “itinerary of Christian formation” for lapsed Catholics, but it resembles a sect within the conciliar Church. Even its name – “the Way” – betrays an exclusive self-concept, as if it alone were the path to true faith. Indeed, critics note that NCW members historically referred to ordinary (non-NCW) Catholics as “pagans” in their internal jargon. This shocking label makes twisted sense once one grasps Kiko’s heterodox theology: since “pagans…offer sacrifices” at Mass, any Catholic attending the traditional Eucharistic sacrifice was deemed a “pagan” by the NCW’s founders.

Something feels off. The Church we grew up in, or at least the one we read about in history books, feels and looks very different from the institution we see today.
It isn’t just the liturgy. We can feel a fundamental shift in the Church’s mission.
Many historians of the church will usually tell us it was just the “Spirit of the Sixties.” They say this spirit drifted in through the open windows of Vatican II like a fresh spring time breeze. We are told it was organic. Spontaneous change.
I never bought that.
I wanted to know the mechanics. How does an institution that stood firm for 2,000 years pivot in a single decade? My research led me away from theology and into the cold realities of intelligence history. I started connecting dots between sources most Catholics never look at.
I traced the political blueprint for a post nation-state global fabian socialist society through books like H.G. Wells' The Open Conspiracy and Iona Ratiu’s The Milner-Fabian Conspiracy. But the psychological …

"We love the TLM because we are duty bound- at the very core of our Catholic being- to hand it on. It does not just make us happy- it makes us Catholic. Handing on the TLM (and the entirety of the Tradition) is what makes us right with God, because it is what fulfills His command to hand on everything He taught us. To be a traditionalist then, is not just about where you go to Mass on Sunday; it means to have made up your mind about what must be handed on to future generations."

A Disagreement with Phil Lawler

So, it is with not a little hesitation I begin this article by announcing a rather firm disagreement I have with one of his recent pieces: Why I am not (quite, yet) a Traditionalist: Part II (see article here). To be entirely honest, my objection is not to his article alone, rather my target is also the somewhat dismal account of what traditionalism really is that has been given by traditionalists. This statement is more confession than condemnation.
I would argue that Mr Lawler’s point that what ultimately matters is that the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass be celebrated reverently and that this celebration produce a salvific effect on the human soul, is entirely correct. But correct only in so far as it is the tradition that determines what ‘reverence’ actually means and what effects it has on the soul. Reverence is neither a feeling nor an impression- something I imagine Mr Lawler would firmly accept. Reverence is a conclusion to a process that is ultimately defined by what has been …

As has been mentioned by others, the Marxist ruse to fragment and splinter wholeness is something which should be considered an anathema in the Church. Our Lord has One Body, One Church. It's members are either part of the Body/Church or they are not. Anything which contradicts Church doctrine and teaching is not of that One Body/One Church. Vatican II has been grossly (and likely purposely) misapplied and misrepresented, and I say that as someone who finds much of what came out of it guided by double-speak chicanery and certainly not of the Holy Spirit. Our Faith remains the Faith taught by our Lord. It stems from the rich sources of Divine revelation and Tradition. All Catholics, by the nature of their universal Faith, are, if the term needs to be applied at all, de facto 'traditionalists'. Protestantism has a place for any who think otherwise.

🕯️ Antiphon of Saint Nicholas Against the Errant Doctrine
O lumen veritatis,
Shone Nicholas in council hall;
The heretic raised trembling voice,
And shadows gather’d round them all.
O pastor fidelissimus,
Nick rose with righteous, solemn fire:
“Let not the Son be counted less
Than He who births the heavenly choir.”
O verbum aeternae lucis,
He struck with creed, not flesh nor spear—
A blow of truth, a liturgy
That drove the errant teaching clear.
O sancte Nicolae, quick,
Rose steadfast Nick against the heretic;
Not flesh he struck, but error thick—
A truth-born slap, austere and mystic._
O defensor fidei,
Thus did the saint his vigil keep:
By doctrine’s light the night was torn,
And error sank in humbled sleep.

Leo’s jubilee of inclusion, synodality, and “Mother Earth” has room for everyone — except the Catholic Faith.
In Leo’s Church of permanent emergency, the priest is no longer the man who offers sacrifice; he is a logistics problem.
Josef Grünwidl, Leo’s new archbishop of Vienna, told Austrian state TV that we should stop thinking of the Church “in terms of priests” and focus instead on parishes “remaining alive locally – even if there is no priest present every Sunday.” His plan is to “empower” lay men and women to support and organize parish life when the priest is absent.
The crisis is not framed as apostasy, collapsing vocations, or decades of liturgical abuse. The crisis is that Catholics might need to drive farther to get to an actual Mass. Better, says the new logic, to keep every village “alive” with a lay-led Sunday celebration than to admit that the sacramental life of the Church cannot be reduced to a community gathering with …
