A word about tradition, well, a few

In the last few days, I have been observing some "chat rooms" supposedly that are "catholic," and to my dismay, there are pastors, (you know diocesan priests, friars, etc.) that actually are arguing that Apostolic Bulls are disciplinary. What do you know! The Holy Ghost inspires a Pope, and after he is dead, they can discard whatever he said like the trash! Then there is the argument of greater and lesser bulls but you know, if they are anathematized, and perpetuized, then you have a greater bull that remains in force. Which brings me to Quo Primum. The Newchurch conveniently sites the Council of Trent that the Church had the right to make the Masses the way they want, and when St. Pius V canonized the Mass (etched in stone), they site the very council that told him to canonize the Mass so that these novelities would NOT come to pass, as a creative license to do what Trent supposedly allowed them to do, and ignore what Saint Pius V said directly after the Great Council of Trent. I see it very clearly, and I hope you do as well, that the people in the Newchurch, take the Church documents that they like, and get rid of the ones that they do not. When they are called on the carpet, they accuse you of portraying yourself as an "expert," but really you are a caring Catholic that really wants to share the truth with the misled. To everyone whom I have spoken with about Quo Primum, I sincerely hope that you accept it, and love and admire Peter's loving successor, Pius V, that gave us the ability to be obliged to hear no Mass other than the one contained in the 1570 a.d. Missal.

Here is your quote for today:

(Incarnation, Book II, Chapter XII, #503.)

O sons of vanity! What examples are not here given to you for your enlightenment! Great is the lesson, which the humility of Christ, our Teacher and our highest Good, teaches and urges upon us: but if this does not move us, let the pride of Lucifer at least deter and frighten us. O vise, o sin, dreadful beyond human imagination! since it confused an angelof such high intellect so much, that he could judge of the infinite bounty by no other standard than that by which he judged himself and of his own malicious disposition! How far then does not man proceed in malice, if to his ignorance he joins guilt and pride? O unhappy and most foolish Lucifer!
