Monsignor Strickland: "Banning the Latin Mass Would Be an Unjust Law"

Catholics should "resist anything" that they "know isn't true to Christ and His Church," says Bishop Joseph Strickland in a LifeSiteNews.com video (June 30).

If Francis "forbids" the celebration of the Roman Rite Mass, "many will not be able to obey him," the bishop predicts: "I believe it is an unjust law. People have come to a deeper faith in Jesus Christ and His Church through the Traditional Latin Mass".

For Strickland, the term "schismatic" is not appropriate to describe the faithful of the Mass: "Who is separating from Christ here?" he asks. Technically, the term schism refers to a separation from the Pope, not from Christ.

The bishop adds: "The schism, if it is coming, is coming from those who are trying to kill the tradition of the Church."
