Benedict XVI Read Traditionis Custodes "With Pain in His Heart"

@John Fritz Logan -I don't know. Just turning to the SSPX or sedevacantist, somehow I'd feel like I was just "play acting", in a drama that wasn't real. If Pope Francis destroys the Latin Mass, or tries to now that Benedict XVI is gone, I am sure he will be gravely ill within weeks of that act, and have to stand before God to answer for such evil. Even though I am young (and no offense to anyone, but I feel sorry for people who are elderly having to suffer wiith a Church like this), I don't want to spend 50 years (I'd be nearly 80), in a church constantly at battle. I don't envy our family early ancestors in Japan, who were persecuted by the Tokugawa Shogunate for being Catholics, and two were executed. But they did die for the True Mass and Church. I would never suffer and die for the sake of Bergoglio's "church" .
I would like to think that Bergoglio and his people are not such filth that they would take advantage of the death of good Pope Benedict XVI to basically spit on his memory and legacy and destroy his efforts which actually brough much Grace and a small resurgence o the Church. I try to have good Catholic Faith, but if they were do something that low, as to degrade the memory of a good man, then they are TRUELY EVIL, and I don't want to be in a church like that. Greek Orthodox have their faults, but I don't think they are that low. And the very much do have respect for their sacraments. We don't.
Take a look at St. Peter's dome as it looks now. I saw it yesterday. I don't remember it looking black like that. It wasn't the lighting. Something evil is happening in the Church, that even the building is turning ugly. Remember when the two thunderbolts hit St.Peter's the day Benedict XVI annonced that he quit. That wasn't God's anger. THat was the doors opening to Satan.

@Kenjiro M. Yoshimori Well were John the Baptist and the Essenes play acting while living in the desert away from the corrupt second temple while preserving the faith?

You don't wanna spend life in a Church constantly at battle? But that's Christ Church, especially during the end times. If a church does not face immese persecution and infiltration, that's cause the world doesn't hate it enough.

They indeed die for the true Churcj, not for the Greek schism. The Greeks don´t respect the sacrament of marriage. But also, Bergoglio and the group much prefer people going schismatic over going further Trad. They love ecumenics with the Eastern schismatics.

Bishop Schneider, Cardinal Burke, Eijk, Pell, Erdo, Sarah all have done far more for the faith than any Greek bishop.

@Clement Jaeho Chung -Happy New Year Clement, to you and your family. I always wanted to ask you a question about South Korea. Even though our family is Catholic, and nearly all of my family both Mom and dad's side have been Catholic for 350+ years (in Japan and USA), we do have Buddhist ancestors 400+ years ago before our family converted. You probably know that Japan is mostly a Buddhist and Shinto country (but most people in Japan these days are very secular and don't practice any religion, except at festivals). I was wondering, what percentage of South Korea is still Buddhist? I know about 15% or so is Catholic. But I am a history teacher, and I love history, and I respect the Buddhist traditions, so I was just wondering if South Korea still has a big Buddhist population. I hope so. I also read that South Korea has a lot of fundamentalist Protestant groups. That's not a good thing. I respect the Buddhist tradition much more than fundamental Protestants, even though they are "christian". One of our neighbors are fundamentalist Bible Christians.....but they are very prejudiced. I know that fundamentalist "Christians" hate Catholics. I hope that does not happen in South Korea. It does in the USA sometimes.
Sorry to ask what maybe is a stupid question. I just am interested in Buddhism...not to convert of course, just the history of it. Some of the temples in Japan I've seen are beautiful, and I am sure they are also beautiful in South Korea as well.
Happy New Year to you and your family !

@Kenjiro M. Yoshimori thanks for telling me..Kenjiro....first...in Korea..maybe 21% is Buddhist person...yes..I respect Buddhist too...they have their rules..and have long history...and korea have some temples too..it's nice....and maybe 17% are Protestant....Catholic people are maybe 11%!!! in korean protestant....hmm...I can't explain deeply...not everybody bad...but have many problems!! you are 100% correct!!!! and in Korean catholic church...after Bergoglio got Papacy...going to lost way....decrease population....attend to mass are low....very difficult situation!!! and I told you....my now Archbishop..Archbishop Peter Cheong...following to LGBT Ideologies...totally difference than former Archbishop...Cardinal Andrew Yeom...hmm....and Kenjiro....you told..if, if Bergoglio's church will change, destroying to our Orthodox teachings..join to Orthodox, or just be Christian....totally understand!! but I hope tell....please staying in here....me...even though have many sins..have so many fault...but, but if changing...I am going to go to Underground church....Japan and Korea have a lot of great Martyrs....but yes...I totally agree....that time..both countries Martyrs died for Our Lord...that time...Vatican many effort Protect to our Orthodox teachings.....but if, if Bergoglio will change...ah...but I hope see the Lord!!! so tell this..many talking sorry...always really happy to see your opinions...I learning a lot....Happy New Year Again....and much pray..Lord will send us real Pope too...God bless always you and all your family, lovely people!!!! Holy Father Pope Benedict XVI gone....so hard time...

@Clement Jaeho Chung -Thank you Clement for answering my question! I've never been to Korea, but me and my family go back to Japan to visit relatives every two years....last time I was there was 2019 though, because of COVID-19 we didn't go 2020 or 2022. Hopefully maybe this year!!
Thanks for telling me the percentages of Buddhists and Protestants and Catholics in Korea. I'm a history teacher, so I'm always interested in the history of different countries. I am always proud of my ancestry, and I also am interested in Korea and China.
I'm sorry that your new Archbishop supports the LGBTQ agenda. He is a Bergoglio appointment, so I am not surprised.
I hope you are watching the coverage of th ceremonies in Rome for Pope Benedict XVI. God bless our late great Holy Father. Apparently, close to 100,000 people have already come to view Pope Benedict's body as it rests in St. Peter's Basilica. The liberals in the Vatican are very surprised, and not happy, than so many people are coming to pray for and visit Benedict XVI 1 last time. His funeral is on Thursday. I hope they get 250,000+ in St. Peter's Square for his funeral. He was a great Pope.
I am always impressed by your comments here. You have great faith! I am not as holy!
I think Bergoglio is going to resign very soon. This might be a blessing. I think his plans will fail, because so many people in Rome and elsewhere hate him, that I think he will just quit. I hope so.
Happy New Year again to you! Thanks for answering my question. I was always curious about religion in Korea. We have alot of fundamentalist Protestants here too. Some are not that bad, but some groups are fanatics and that's bad.

@Sator 369 I agree they should have strongly been supporting him!
Unfortunately the Church is in such a sad state, even good men struggle with hard decisions.
All above orders I'm sure worried, and worry about their flock and preservation of Catholic worship. We fear our shepherds

God Help us
