Latin Mass at Effingham on First Sunday of the month. Next one Sunday 5th October @ Noon

 After much struggles I have finally stopped going to the SSPX masses. I believe they have lost their way and are caving into the woke Vatican 2 agenda. The other worry is they no longer conditionally re-ordain priests who come from the Novos Ordo, which makes some masses doubtful now.

I now go to a Sedevacantist Mass which takes place at the Drift golf club, in Effingham. The priest is Fr Aedan Gilchrist. There are confessions from 11.15am, followed by Old Rite Mass at noon. After mass there are teas and coffees. In the golf club downstairs there are wonderful sandwiches and snacks for sale , which you can eat in or outside.

The Latin Mass/Old Rite Mass is the only valid Mass in the UK. And that's if the priest is validly ordained in the first place!

 I was baptised in Blackheath in the Old Rite Latin Mass.

 It was during a time of growing upheaval in the Catholic Church - when the Second Vatican Council was underway, and the  conciliar eruption was simmering like a volcano, waiting to explode onto the world - the eruption began in earnest after the close of the Council on 8th December 1965, 3 years after it started. The church had been well and truly infiltrated by freemasons right up to the highest levels of the church, including pope John 23rd. Freemasonry was always banned in the Church - under pain of excommunication. The nuns at my mother's school in Shaftesbury told the girls that the freemasons get the devil out of the box. That's very apt.

One of the disastrous results of this heinous council was the change to the ancient Mass, from Latin to the vernacular. This was under the guise of making the mass more attractive to Protestants and other denominations. Of course, during the Reformation - the Church of England changed the Latin mass to the vernacular, and the modern mass is akin to the protestant church service. The Latin Mass never went away during the Reformation, it went underground and brave priests were hunted down and martyred if they were caught saying the ancient Mass. That's why there are priest holes in country houses.

Back to the modern council - the Latin Mass went from Latin to the vernacular in around 1969.

My mother describes the changes as - 

'One Sunday we had Latin Mass, and the following Sunday we had guitars".

A handful of brave cardinals did not accept the New Mass - and one of them was the late Archbishop Lefebvre. He refused the say the new mass, as he said it was protestant, and probably invalid. He started the Society of St Pius X, which was to preserve the ancient rite of the Mass. 

Around about the same time as the modern 'mass' was in force, pope Paul 6th decided to change the episcopal rite of ordination - and this, according to Archbishop Lefebvre, made the rite at best - dubious. The implications were massive, because, if the newly ordained bishop was only dubiously ordained, it rendered the priests he was ordaining as dubious too! Just think about that - over many decades of using the new rite, eventually all priests would only be dubiously ordained. If their ordinations are invalid, it invalidates their sacraments! How terrible is that! The modern day Confirmation rite is also dubious and it's a good idea to get a conditional confirmation by a valid bishop.

God obviously used Archbishop Lefebvre to preserve the ancient Mass, and not only that - he ordained 4 bishops in the ancient rite, so that they could validly ordain new priests. The brave Archbishop was excommunicated by pope John-Paul 2. 

Out of the SSPX, came the Sedevacantist movement, which holds that all the popes since John 23rd are invalid, as is the Second Vatican Council. 

I studied Vatican 2 at Maryvale Institute in Birmingham in the early 2000s. What stuck me was the duplicitous language of the documents - and the slippery language used. It was Cardinal Kasper who said in an interview, that the wording of the council documents was deliberately done, to make the documents ambiguous! That my dear people should make you flee from the modern catholic church as fast as possible. Compare the slippery language to the Vatican 1 council of 1870, and you see that the 1870 documents are black and white - no ambiguity anywhere!

If you want the true valid Mass you need to do your homework! Find a Latin Mass -  but more importantly, find out whether the priest was ordained in the new or ancient rite. Many so called conservative  priests say the old Latin Mass, but their ordinations are dubious and therefore you might not be attending a valid Mass!

IF YOU GENUINELY LOVE THE TRUE CATHOLIC FAITH YOU REALLY NEED TO WAKE UP TO THE DISASTROUS VATICAN 2 AND ONLY ATTEND A VALID LATIN MASS. 

If you are a priest reading this - ask yourself - was I ordained properly or not? if not - please get conditionally ordained asap.

Happy 80th Birthday Father Michael Clifton!

On the Feast of St Boniface, 5th June 2015, it was Fr Michael Clifton's 80th birthday. 

Fr Michael was archivist for Southwark Diocese, a role which has given him an encyclopediac knowlege of Catholic history and the characters involved, including Catholic eccentrics, infamous and saints alike. He has also authored 5 books, one of which was "The Alliance of Dissent" - written in the 1980s - to expose disident 'Catholic' organisations, trying to undermine the Church. Although written some time ago, it is an important work as it shows how dissent has flourished in the Catholic Church - certainly in England anyway. Some of the names and groups he exposes no longer exist, but newer groups have emerged such as  ACTA (A Call To Action) - again another 'group' which plots to undermine church teaching under the guise of evolving dogmas and other nonsense. Thankfully ACTA has been exposed and several bishops have warned their parishioners not to take any notice of it. 

Father Michael recently moved into "Holy Cross Priory" - which is also called "Holy Cross Care Home", in Cross-in-Hand, East Sussex. His flat is one of the new conversions in the old listed building, which was designed after Pugin. It is at the top of the building overlooking the car park and the statue of Our Lady of Lourdes. Walk into the flat and you instantly witness a priest of many interests. His love of pictures of trains and old buildings - he has a painting of Scotney Castle - Lamberhust, in his sitting room (he told us of the priest hidey hole in the tower of Scotney castle). There are bookshelves full of books and archival materials. In the corner is another great hobby - his train set - which he is still building. 

On the TV and laptop there are various soft animals - a cat I think and other soft toys, possibly childhood memorabilia.

I collected Father Michael and another resident of Holy Cross to take them to Pam Talbot's farmhouse, 5 minutes away, where Father was to say Old Rite Mass, followed by a birthday lunch. The farmhouse has a chapel in the grounds. I wrote about the chapel in the post before this.

The fun and games began, when a sparrow flew into the chapel and perched himself on the wooden crucifix. Father Michael was getting ready to say Mass. Anyhow, this young sparrow wasn't a bit scared and sat still on the right arm of the crucifix (but left from the pew view). Father with all his knowledge said that in the Armenian Rite, the crucifix has a bird in exactly that spot on the crucifix, to symbolise the Holy Spirit. The bird was there for a considerable time.

Birdie started flying around the chapel. Luckily one of the other guests was the formidable Marigold Turner - who is the Latin Mass representative for Southwark Diocese. She suggested we get a fishing net, which Pam Talbot had 2. Eventually the sparrow flew out having avoided both nets.

At the end of Mass, Father sang "Panes Angelicum". 

Lunch was a combined effort. Sharon, a serene nurse from Hailsham provided a very tasty cooked salmon. Pam supplied vegetables from her garden, and an array of sauces. This was followed by Pam's exquisite homemade banana icecream - out of her ice cream maker, which must be one of the earliest machines. Meringues accompanied the ice-cream, followed by cheeses. Then birthday cake and coffee.

The guests were, Pam Talbot (hostess), Father Stephen Hardaker - dean of Mayfield deanery, Marina Napier, Marigold Turner, Sharon and myself.

Father started telling us eccentic stories and I think he had a jolly time. At 80, his mind is razor sharp and I put this down to his avid reading and writing. He had a blog up until 2011 or thereabouts, but a well-known monseigneur, who writes for the Catholic Times threatened to sue him (on unsound grounds) so Father decided to stop the blog. However, he has a weekly email letter, which he sends to people on request. I can supply his email if you contact me.

Now I must mention the delightful Marigold Turner. Her pink lipstick did not move throughout lunch. I had to find out which brand it was - a Bourgois in shade No7, from Boots. Apparently it is made by Chanel but a fraction of the price. Her dress was an animal print by Mulberry and her shoes were by a famous Italian designer, as was her bag. She is quintessentially  English but favours Italian designers - presumably because she goes to Rome quite often. She is a great lady - and has done great work for the Latin Mass Society - managing to arrange Latin Masses every Sunday in her part of Southwark Diocese.
