There Is Something Worse Than A Black Mass
The imagery that is being circulated of the confrontation with the diabolical at the black mass in Oklahoma city is truly moving. But there is something worse than a black mass. It is the abuse of God's Mercy.
I have seen the images of the Society of +Marcel Lefevbre in a full demonstration against the black mass that took place on September 21, 2014. They look every bit Catholic ... yet they are not submissive to the Vicar of Christ. They are Catholic protestants.
And while they decry the attack on Christ in the black mass, do they not realize that they are compounding the wound in the Heart of Christ, by attacking the Body of Christ? How can any Catholic not feel indignant as he sees this tragedy in front of him.
And what is to be said of all those who participate in a Mass said by a priest who does not have the faculties to say Mass? They promote and assist at a Mass in which the priest objectively offers Mass in the state of mortal sin. How horrible!
The abuse of God's Mercy is compatible to an attack on the Blessed Sacrament. It is to take the most stunning attribute of God, His Mercy, and to abuse it. By resisting the call of grace to be converted and return to the Church, to remain intransigent, and stubborn to the workings of grace, the Society of +Marcel attack the Mercy of God! He has given all of us grace, and time to make a sincere conversion.
By pretending you don't need conversion ... but everybody else does ... reveals your spiritual tepidity.
The demonstration on Sunday doesn't reveal the sanctity or good faith of the followers of +Marcel but only further reveals the catastrophe that has befallen the Church. Instead of circulating images of the Society of +Marcel and praising their witness, we should pray and do penance for these Catholic-protestants to return to the Church's bosoom.
