ST PIO AND THE NOVUS ORDO MISSAE

Padre Pio and the Novus Ordo Missae
He was a model of respect and submission
towards his religious and ecclesiastical
superiors, especially during the time when
he was persecuted. Nonetheless, he could
not remain silent over a deviation that was
baneful to the Church. Even before the end
of the Council, in February 1965, someone
announced to him that soon he would have
to celebrate the Mass according to a new
rite, ad experimentum, in the vernacular,
which had been devised by a conciliar
liturgical commission in order to respond to
the aspirations of modern man.
Immediately, even before seeing the text, he
wrote to Paul VI to ask him to be dispensed
from the liturgical experiment, and to be
able to continue to celebrate the Mass of St.
Pius V. When Cardinal Bacci came to see
him in order to bring the authorization,
Padre Pio let a complaint escape in the
presence of the Pope's messenger: "For
pity sake, end the Council quickly. "
The same year, during the conciliar euphoria that was promising a new
springtime to the Church, he confided to one of his spiritual sons: "In this
time of darkness, let us prey: Let us do penance for the elect"; and especially for the one who has to be their shepherd here below. All his life he immolated himself for the reigning pope, whose photograph was among the rare images that decorated his cell.

He had shown that this experiment of Norvus Ordo Missae, which the liberal leaning Bishops are falling over themselves to implement, to appease
the crowd, rather than to protect our religion as it had been practiced for over 2000 years. When you appease man, rather than GOD, is what you are doing is the will of GOD? I don't think so. The SSPX appears to have the right teachings, as our
beloved St Pio has shown in his actions. Something for all catholics to think about. Satisfying your urgings rather than your soul, will lead to HELL, not heaven.JMHO
