More Pro-Life Good News! Planned Parenthood Is Fully Defunded After Dropping Lawsuit!

 Okay, that's a good thing, but the merchants of death will never give up in their quest to offer brainwashed or coerced females an avenue to kill their pre-born babies.

Remember, Satan never sleeps...

But for now, let us all thank the Good Lord above for this short reprieve and continue to pray for the complete downfall of the killing giant!

From lifenews.com, written by Steven Ertelt  |   Feb 3, 2026: Planned Parenthood is Fully Defunded After Dropping Lawsuit - LifeNews.com

 "Planned Parenthood has voluntarily dismissed its lawsuit challenging a defunding provision in the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, marking a major victory for pro-life advocates who have long sought to end taxpayer support for the nation’s largest abortion company.

The abortion giant dropped its legal challenge Friday to the law that redirects Medicaid funding away from abortion businesses for one year.

The move follows a U.S. Court of Appeals for the First Circuit ruling in September that lifted a preliminary injunction in a related case, allowing the Trump administration to continue withholding reimbursements from nearly 600 Planned Parenthood clinics across 48 states.

“The American people do not want their tax dollars propping up the abortion industry,” said Erik Baptist, senior counsel at Alliance Defending Freedom, which filed a friend-of-the-court brief in support of the defunding. “This legal action should never have happened in the first place, and now we are assured that Planned Parenthood will not bypass the people’s choice to protect taxpayer funding.”

The One Big Beautiful Bill Act, signed into law by President Donald Trump on July 4, passed narrowly in Congress amid strong advocacy from pro-life lawmakers. It halts the use of taxpayer dollars to fund the abortion industry, building on the First Circuit decision that sided with the Trump administration in a suit filed by more than 20 Democrat-led states and the District of Columbia.

Planned Parenthood, in a statement, acknowledged the shift: “The goal of this lawsuit has always been to help Planned Parenthood patients get the care they deserve from their trusted provider. Based on the 1st Circuit’s decision, it is clear that this lawsuit is no longer the best way to accomplish that goal.”

The U.S. Supreme Court had previously affirmed in a related case last year that states have the right to exclude organizations like Planned Parenthood from Medicaid funding, a decision Baptist highlighted in praising the outcome.

“The U.S. Supreme Court affirmed last year that states have the right to fund real care and exclude organizations like Planned Parenthood that profit off abortion, and we are glad to see the federal government following suit,” he said. “Alliance Defending Freedom will continue to stand against any attempts by the abortion giant to force Americans to fund dangerous procedures.”

Meanwhile, Troy Newman, President of Operation Rescue also celebrated the victory:

“We love seeing Planned Parenthood throw in the towel, though it comes as no surprise. Operation Rescue has been documenting the steady implosion of Planned Parenthood for more than a year. Its affiliates are rife with internal turmoil, employees have come forward to blow the whistle on abuse and mismanagement of funds, and it’s losing more than Medicaid funding. Thanks to Trump’s recent defunding of research involving aborted fetal tissue, Planned Parenthood’s steady flow of profit from the illegal sale of aborted baby body parts is also about to dry up – something Operation Rescue has been calling for since 2015, when we helped co-found the Center for Medical Progress and expose Planned Parenthood’s criminal revenue streams from aborted babies.

“Planned Parenthood, like the rest of the abortion industry, has always survived on political prowess gained through fraud and deception. Americans are starting to see the face behind the mask, and we are tired of our taxpayer money funding it. To Planned Parenthood and their slimy attorneys I’d say, don’t let the courthouse doors hit you on the way out.”

With the lawsuit dropped, the provision takes full effect, redirecting resources toward genuine health care options for low-income patients. Planned Parenthood reported that roughly 50 of its abortion selling locations have been forced to close since the Medicaid restriction took effect last summer."

SSPX TO CONCENTRATE MORE BISHOPS!!

 YOU READ THAT RIGHT!

LISTEN TO THE FOLLOWING SHORT VIDEO FROM LIFESITENEWS.COM...

BREAKING | Everything you NEED TO KNOW about the SSPX Bishops

Now, let's see if the gutless Vatican will "excommunicate" the new bishops and those who do the consecrations.

I say gutless, because why hasn't the Vatican excommunicated the phony Chinese communist "consecrations" of the make-believe "Catholic" patriotic association, totally run by the Red Chinese Communists?

I will answer that question myself: because the current regime holding the Vatican hostage since 2013! -- are not Catholic, period!

Unfortunately, there are far too many Judases running rampant in the novus ordo, synodal "church" created in the image and likeness of men, devoid of sanctifying grace and the Holy Ghost!

Bravo for the SSPX!!!

The Council Of Europe, Or, Should I Say, The Council Of Satan!

 The following article will illustrate what happens when people reject the Natural Law, the Ten Commandments, and God-given common sense.  And!  Start working for the demon...

From lifesitenews.com, written by Andreas Wailzer Fri Jan 30, 2026 - 9:19 am EST: Council of Europe votes to ban 'conversion therapy,' including prayer for gender-confused, homosexuals - LifeSite 

"The anti-conversion therapy motion defines ‘religious rituals,’ including prayer, as harmful practices, while teaching children to ‘identify and denounce’ so-called ‘conversion practices."

"(LifeSiteNews) — The Council of Europe has voted in favor of a resolution demanding a ban on so-called “conversion therapy,” including prayers regarding “gender identity or gender expression.”

On Thursday, the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe voted in favor of the anti-conversion therapy resolution that was brought forward by U.K. Labour Party member and LGBT activist Katharine Helen Osborne.

According to the assembly’s website, the Socialist Group (SOC), the United European Left (UEL), and most of the liberal ALDE Group voted in favor of the motion, while the European People’s Party (EPP/CD) was divided on the issue. The European Conservatives (ECPA/ECR) almost unanimously rejected it.

The text of the resolution defines “conversion practices” or “conversion therapies” as “all measures or efforts aimed at changing, repressing, or suppressing a person’s sexual orientation, gender identity or gender expression, based on the false belief that such core aspects of a person’s identity are pathological or undesirable or somehow able to change.”

The ban of so-called “conversion practices” would include praying for a person, as the resolution states that “[t]hese practices, aimed at promoting heterosexual attraction or aligning a person’s gender identity with their sex assigned at birth, include psychological or behavioural counselling, spiritual and religious rituals, aversion methods, as well as verbal abuse, coercion, isolation, forced medication, electric shocks, physical and sexual abuse.”

While local laws against “conversion therapy” often have exceptions for “abnormal sexual preferences” like pedophilia, the motion does not include such a stipulation.

The resolution also calls for the indoctrination of school children with LGBT ideology, as it demands “mandatory comprehensive sexuality education,” including “teaching on the diversity of sexual orientation, gender identity and expression and sex characteristics, with a view to preventing and countering social prejudice and misinformation.”

Children should learn to “identify and denounce” attempts of so-called “conversion practices.”

The Council of Europe is independent of the European Union, and its assembly comprises members of national parliaments from European countries. The resolution is non-binding, but governments, parliaments, and courts can use it as a basis for decision-making, and it applies pressure on local governments to pass laws that meet its demands.

Stefan Fuchs from the German Catholic newspaper Die Tagespost notes that the resolution “treats ‘religious practices’ such as prayer on the same level as abuse and torture methods.”

Parents, doctors, and pastors would be forced “to allow young people to undergo hormone therapy and so-called ‘gender reassignment’ surgery.”

“Criticism of this mutilation of young people is to be criminalized as an attack on the human rights of transgender people,” Fuchs wrote. “The resolution is a frontal attack on fundamental freedoms: the right of parents to educate their children, freedom of religion, the freedom of doctors and psychologists to choose their therapy, and, in general, the fundamental right to freedom of expression.”

Pro-family critics have denounced the resolution for violating the parents’ right to educate their children how they see fit.

ADF International lawyer Felix Böllman said, “Psychiatrists, parents, members of religious communities, and many others are being intimidated. The interference with freedom of expression, religion, and conscience is particularly serious: certain beliefs about sexuality and gender are being labeled as ‘wrong’ and are to be effectively suppressed, even though the ECHR also protects uncomfortable peaceful views.”

End of this very troubling and disturbing article...

Let us pray for the conversion of these modernist monsters!

Pray t00, for strength and honor!

Once Catholic Notre Dame (Our Lady) Defends Promoting Radical Pro-Abortion Professor Who Called Pro-Life Laws ‘Violence’

 Well, here we go again...

The once-Catholic university of Notre Dame (Our Lady!) shows its true colors by mocking the perennial teachings of the real Catholic Church and the Natural Law, by appointing a vile creature by the name of Susan Ostermann, who claimed that abortion is ‘freedom-enhancing’!!

That's right, ripping apart a pre-born baby is "freedom-enhancing"!

Freedom for whom?

Certainly not for the murdered baby!

As this article will show, Notre Dame continues to sink into the abyss of hell...

From lifesitenews.com, written by Emily Mangiaracina Fri Jan 30, 2026 - 3:47 pm EST: Notre Dame defends promoting radical pro-abortion professor who called pro-life laws ‘violence’ - LifeSite

"(LifeSiteNews) — The University of Notre Dame has defended its appointment of a vehement abortion supporter to a prominent position despite backlash over the professor’s anti-Catholic stance on human life.

The self-proclaimed Catholic university issued a statement on Wednesday defending the elevation of Susan Ostermann – an associate professor of global affairs at Notre Dame who has described abortion bans as “violence” and “sexual abuse” – to director of the university’s Liu Institute of Asia and Asian Studies.

Ostermann is a particularly harsh critic of pro-life laws, having claimed that abortion access “prioritizes and values women’s freedom from experiencing violence, sexual abuse and trauma through forced pregnancy and childbirth.” She is thus directly opposed to the fundamental professed values of Notre Dame.

The university went so far as to declare on Wednesday in a statement to the National Catholic Register that Ostermann is “well prepared” to “create impactful research opportunities that advance our dedication to serving as the preeminent global Catholic research institution.” 

Notre Dame praised the professor as a “highly regarded political scientist and legal scholar whose insightful research on regulatory compliance … demonstrates the rigorous, interdisciplinary expertise required to lead the Liu Institute.” 

The university indirectly alluded to her abortion support, suggesting it did not see it as problematic: “Those who serve in leadership positions at Notre Dame do so with the clear understanding that their decision-making as leaders must be guided by and consistent with the University’s Catholic mission.” The statement added, “Notre Dame’s commitment to upholding the inherent dignity of the human person and the sanctity of life at every stage is unwavering.”

A Notre Dame spokesperson did not directly respond to criticism by Holy Cross Father Wilson Miscamble, a professor emeritus of history at Notre Dame and former chairman of the department, of the appointment of Ostermann. Father Miscamble ripped her appointment as a “travesty” in a First Things Wednesday publication.

“If this sad appointment is allowed to stand, the hollowness of the claim that Catholic character informs all Notre Dame’s endeavors will be painfully exposed,” wrote Father Miscamble. He highlighted some of Ostermann’s essays which give “a rather sickening sense of her views,” including “Banning abortion pill mifepristone would be a terrible policy choice and violate human rights”; “Forced pregnancy and childbirth are violence against women—and also terrible health policy;” and “Abortion, racism and guns: How white supremacy unites the right.”

In one of these articles she co-wrote for Salon, Ostermann gave one of her most shockingly anti-life statements:

“…abortion access also prioritizes and values women’s freedom from experiencing violence, sexual abuse and trauma through forced pregnancy and childbirth. When the state supports forced pregnancy and childbirth, it is complicit in this violence. When we stand by as it does so, we are complicit as well.”

Fr. Miscamble also pointed to Ostermann’s “Orwellian” claim that abortion is “consistent with integral human development that emphasizes social justice and human dignity” and to her claim that “abortion access is freedom-enhancing, in the truest sense of the word.”

He argued also that her support for abortion directly compromises her ability to properly lead Notre Dame’s Asian studies institute.

“Given the demographic issues that certain Asian countries now confront, the Liu Institute must be led by a scholar who understands well the disastrous course that has been perpetrated by organizations like the Population Council. Susan Ostermann cannot do that,” Fr. Miscamble wrote, referring to her consultant work for the Population Council.

He called upon Notre Dame’s Board of Fellows, composed of six Holy Cross priests and six laypeople, to revoke Ostermann’s appointment. The board is tasked, among other things, with ensuring “that the University maintains its essential character as a Catholic institution of higher learning,” according to the university’s website.

Fr. Miscamble believes the decision will only be reversed “if there is an outpouring of criticism of the Notre Dame administration.” He told NCR, “I think the disgraceful nature of the appointment is such that there is some possibility of that.”

Carter Snead, a professor of law and of political science at Notre Dame, finds Ostermann’s pro-abortion rhetoric to be lacking in both logic and charity.

“I don’t know Professor Ostermann and have nothing against her personally or as a colleague, but I confess to being quite shocked by the inflammatory rhetoric and uncharitable tone of her eleven op-eds… to say nothing of the tendentious and confused substance of the arguments themselves,” Snead told the Register by email.

Bill Dempsey, founding president of Sycamore Institute, told the Register that Ostermann’s appointment “ignores the primary concern, namely scandal.”

“Notre Dame would not promote a white supremacist or a Holocaust denier no matter how qualified in their fields, not because people would think the university shared their views, but because people would think the university did not regard the issues as very important. So here the signal is that the current administration, while espousing a pro-life stance, considers it of lesser importance,” Dempsey said.

He pointed to the parallels between Ostermann’s appointment and Notre Dame’s honoring of President Barack Obama in 2009 and of President Joe Biden 2016, both of whom unequivocally supported legal abortion.

While it has long been considered the pre-eminent Catholic university in the United States, Notre Dame has increasingly failed to live up to its professed identity, most famously by having given Obama an honorary award and later bestowing on Biden its prestigious Laetare Medal.

It has also hosted drag shows on campus, celebrated June as “pride month,” and promoted many other pro-LGBT initiatives.

Founded by French priest Father Edward Sorin in 1842, the university’s formal name is Notre Dame du Lac, or “Our Lady of the Lake.” In the 1970s, heterodox president Father Theodore Hesburgh made Notre Dame co-educational and helped draft the heavily criticized Land O’ Lakes statement, a document approved by presidents of various Catholic universities across the U.S. that declared independence from formal Church authority and doctrines."

(My emphasis.)

By the way, you might want to read the "Land of Lakes" statement, it says it all...

Sick! Leo Doubles Down On Vatican Rejection Of ‘Co-Redemptrix’!

 "At a time of apostasy, impurity, and confusion, the faithful do not need a diminished Mother."

From lifesitenews.com, written by John-Henry Westen Thu Jan 29, 2026 - 3:38 pm EST: Pope Leo doubles down on Vatican rejection of 'Co-Redemptrix' - LifeSite

"(LifeSiteNews) — On Thursday morning, Pope Leo XIV publicly praised a Vatican document that has already sparked one of the most serious Marian controversies in decades.

Addressing the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith, the Pope commended the doctrinal note Mater Populi Fidelis, issued under the extremely controversial Cardinal Víctor Manuel Fernández, infamous for his books on kissing and orgasms.

Leo praised the Fernández document, saying it “encourages popular Marian devotion, deepening its biblical and theological foundations, and at the same time offers precise and important clarifications for Mariology.”

While many suggested that it was only Fernández who issued the document, the Pope has now doubled down on his support after having originally permitted its publication and signing it.

But a growing number of faithful Catholics—bishops, priests, theologians, and even the Pope’s own former flock—say those “clarifications” do something very different.

They say the document diminishes the Blessed Virgin Mary, restricts time-honored Catholic language, and effectively repudiates doctrines that popes, saints, and the universal Church have taught for centuries.

Remember what the document actually says. Mater Populi Fidelis declares that the Marian title “Co-Redemptrix” is “always inappropriate,” and it discourages the title “Mediatrix of All Graces,” claiming it is not clearly grounded in revelation and risks confusion.

That judgment has been met with alarm from some of the most serious Catholic authorities alive today.

Father Davide Pagliarani, Superior General of the Society of St. Pius X, said the document had a “profound impact” on him and described it as “tantamount to dethroning the Most Blessed Virgin Mary” of her traditional titles.

He offered a Mass of reparation, calling the text “a new attack against Tradition—and against the Mother of God herself.”

To be clear, the title Co-Redemptrix does not mean Mary is equal to Christ—and the Church has never taught that.

It means that by God’s will, Mary uniquely cooperated in Christ’s redemptive work: through her fiat at the Annunciation, her suffering at Calvary, and her lifelong union with her Son.

Popes taught this explicitly.

Pope Pius XI stated in 1933: “The Redeemer could not but associate His Mother with His work; for this reason we invoke her under the title of Co-Redemptrix.”

Saint John Paul II himself used the title on multiple occasions.

So IF “Co-Redemptrix” is “always inappropriate,” then popes, saints, mystics, and doctors of the Church were wrong—a conclusion impossible for Catholics to accept, particularly coming from Leo and Fernández.

A second refutation comes from the International Marian Association Theological Commission, a body that includes cardinals, bishops, and more than 40 internationally respected theologians—among them Scott Hahn and Mark Miravalle.

They called the Vatican note an “anti-development of doctrine.”

Because the document cuts away the doctrine those titles express.

The Commission pointed out that many central Catholic doctrines require explanation.

The Trinity.

The title Mother of God.

Transubstantiation.

By the Vatican’s logic, anything that requires explanation becomes “unhelpful.”

Third, the claim that Vatican II “refrained” from teaching Mary as Co-Redemptrix is historically false.

The theologians point out that Lumen Gentium explicitly teaches that Mary “associated herself with her Son’s sacrifice in her mother’s heart” and endured His suffering at Calvary.

The doctrine is there—even if the word is not.

Multiple critics note the Vatican document’s repeated insistence that Marian titles must not offend Protestant sensibilities.

Father Pagliarani called this concern “almost pathological.”

Bishop Bernard Fellay was even more blunt. He called the document “pitiful” and “an insult to God,” warning that it reflects a Protestant spirit inside the Church—one that cannot tolerate Mary’s God-given role in the economy of salvation.

But the opposition to the Vatican document extends even to Pope Leo XIV’s backyard—his own former diocese.

In Chiclayo, Peru—where Pope Leo served as bishop for eight years—more than 100 Catholics have formally petitioned him, urging him to reconsider what they call a “truly scandalous” and “harmful” Vatican document.

These are not academics. They are ordinary faithful—people he was supposed to have shepherded. They write that Mater Populi Fidelis has caused deep sadness among them.

They explain that on the feast of Our Lady of the Miraculous Medal, their parish priest found himself unable to preach Mary as Mediatrix of All Graces.

They ask the Pope:

“Can you imagine such a thing? What a harmful innovation this doctrinal note has been.”

They go further.

“Do not make our poor Mother suffer in this way… She who suffered so greatly at the foot of the Cross to give birth to us.”

When the most faithful bishops, theologians, priests, and now the simple laity all say the same thing—that Mary is being diminished—should the Church not listen?

At a time of apostasy, impurity, and confusion, the faithful do not need a diminished Mother.

They need the Woman whom Scripture calls “terrible as an army in battle array”—the one whom saints and popes called the Co-Redemptrix and Mediatrix of All Graces, because God Himself willed her cooperation in the salvation of souls and chose to give us All Grace and Truth through her."

Maryland County Council Stops Praying ‘Our Father’ After Atheist Group Threatens Lawsuit

 Jesus: If you deny me before men, I will deny you before My Father!

And so, it goes...

From lifesitenews.com, written by Emily Mangiaracina Wed Jan 28, 2026 - 1:54 pm EST: Maryland county council stops praying ‘Our Father’ after atheist group threatens lawsuit - LifeSite

"(LifeSiteNews) — A Maryland county council has stopped its tradition of beginning meetings by praying the “Our Father” after it received letters threatening litigation from the atheist group “Freedom from Religion Foundation” (FFRF).

While legal experts say the practice of praying before meetings is clearly constitutional, the council is concerned that it would be crushed by legal fees if it continues its practice of reciting the Lord’s Prayer.

The council has recently been hit with several letters threatening lawsuits, “including three letters of demand” from FFRF, which has proclaimed its purpose is to “promote the constitutional principle of separation of state and church and to educate the public on matters relating to nontheism.”

The Wicomico County Council in southeastern Maryland is considering replacing its longstanding practice of prayer by council members with “holding a moment of silence, hosting a clergy-led prayer or letting Wicomico County voters decide through a referendum,” according to the Salisbury Independent.

Council President John Cannon said during a January 20 legislative meeting that there has been “a great deal of disappointment” about the decision and that he “share[d] in that disappointment.” He pointed out that the tradition of praying the Our Father had been in place well before he began his council position 20 years ago.

“We are not a council that shies away from a challenge simply because litigation is threatened,” Cannon continued. “But when legal counsel is clear about the probable outcome, when the financial risk to our citizens is so substantial, we have a responsibility to weigh fiscal stewardship against our desire to preserve a tradition we’ve honored for so many years.”

David Cortman, senior counsel and vice president of U.S. Litigation at Alliance Defending Freedom, says the tradition of praying before legislative meetings goes back to the founding of the U.S. and that its legitimacy has since been affirmed by the Supreme Court.

“What’s funny about this recent case [is that] it feels a little bit like a blast from the past,” he remarked during “Washington Watch” on Monday. “These issues have been … settled by the Supreme Court over a decade ago,” said Cortman, going on to note that the country’s highest court ruled about 40 years ago that legislative prayer is constitutional. Marsh v. Chambers in 1983 upheld the Nebraska legislature’s practice of opening sessions with a prayer by a publicly funded chaplain. That decision noted that legislative prayer has been practiced in the U.S. since the First Congress, something alluded to by Cortman.

“These type of legislative prayers have been ongoing since, literally, [when] the First Amendment was passed,” said Cortman. “And Congress … hired a chaplain to engage in legislative prayers at the very beginning of our country, and so they’re permissible now.”

Groups like FFRF have been exploiting for decades a misunderstanding of the Establishment Clause, the so-called “separation of church and state,” which “doesn’t carry what the Left wants it to carry,” according to Cortman.

“They send out these fear-mongering letters, they threaten litigation, they threaten attorney fees, and towns and counties just look at their budget and say, ‘Look, we’re already strapped. We don’t want to take the risk of having to pay out attorney fees.’”

The attorney further advised that the left-leaning courts of Maryland should not discourage Cannon from holding firm to the council’s practice of prayer and even engaging in litigation if needed.

“[S]ometimes the law is different in different areas of the country, but that’s why the Supreme Court is there to even all that out,” he stressed. “[F]ederal law, according to the Supreme Court, is uniform everywhere. So you may have recalcitrant courts that try to distinguish cases or draw the lines differently. But even if this case [went] all the way up to the Supreme Court again, [it] would certainly … bless this practice because it’s part of the tradition of our country going back to our Founders.”

Cortman urged other local governments facing similar legal challenges to turn to groups like Alliance Defending Freedom, “who could give them legal advice on the exact issue.”

“I’ve seen these letters from Freedom from Religion Foundation literally for 30 years. … They threaten you with litigation and try to get towns and localities to stop doing whatever religious practice it happens to be. So they need to get advice from groups like ADF who do this sort of work and give them the advice and then hopefully make the decision to take a stand.”

“Because if we don’t, what happens is that erodes religious freedom for all of us.”'

The Heretic Dressed-Up As A Cardinal: Cupich Advocates For Latin Mass Suppression, Cites Document From Recent Consistory

 Back on Tuesday, January 20, 2026, I posted this: 

THIS IS OUTRAGEOUS! Pope Leo XIV Invokes Leo XIII As Early Champion Of Ecumenism!!

Now, Cupich is twisting another document -- a Bull by Pope Saint Pius V, to invoke even more suppression of the already-disappearing traditional Latin Mass, with another outrageous claim: ["]Cardinals["] Blase Cupich's and Arthur Roche's citation of Quo Primum in justifying TLM suppression is disingenuous, because the 1570 bull authorized the traditional Mass ‘in perpetuity.’

OUTRAGEOUS!

From lifesitenews.com, written by Emily Mangiaracina Tue Jan 27, 2026 - 3:15 pm EST: Cardinal Cupich advocates for Latin Mass suppression, cites document from recent consistory - LifeSite

"(LifeSiteNews) — ["]Cardinal["] Blase Cupich issued a reflection on Wednesday supporting Pope Francis’ goal of suppressing the traditional Latin Mass, arguing that the existence of only “one rite” is a matter of “unity.”

“Accepting the reform authorized by the church is a matter of preserving the unity of the church as St. Pope Pius V stated, a truth the late Pope Francis recalled,” wrote Cupich, referring to one of the main “takeaways” of a document on the liturgy distributed by Cardinal Arthur Roche at the extraordinary consistory convened by Pope Leo XIV earlier this month.

Cupich referred to Roche’s own citation of Pope Pius V that Bishop Athanasius Schneider later pointed out was taken out of context: “As in the Church of God there is only one way of reciting the psalms, so there ought to be only one rite for celebrating the Mass,” Pius V wrote while issuing the Roman Missal of 1570.

The Chicago Archbishop explicitly used this principle of “unity” as a justification for the TLM-suppressing Traditionis Custodes. Cupich pointed out that Francis considered the Second Vatican Council’s liturgical “reform” – that is, the Novus Ordo Missae – to be the “unique expression of the ‘lex orandi’ of the Roman Rite.” 

Favoring the Novus Ordo while suppressing the traditional Latin Mass is therefore “in keeping with his predecessor St. Pope Pius V,” because “there must be only one rite as a means of preserving the unity of the church,” according to Cupich.

The orthodox prelate Schneider recently stressed that Roche selectively referenced Quo Primum in his consistory document when he quoted its statement that “there ought to be only one rite for celebrating the Mass.” 

The reality is, Schneider pointed out, Quo Primum actually “explicitly permits all variants of the Roman Rite that had been in continuous use for at least 200 years to continue lawfully,” including the Ambrosian and Dominican rites. “Unity does not mean uniformity, as the history of the Church attests,” Schneider noted.

​​Referencing Quo Primum here is disingenuous on the parts of Roche and Cupich, because the 1570 bull clearly contradicts their main point by firmly authorizing the TLM “in perpetuity.”  

Quo Primum states that “this Missal is hereafter to be followed absolutely, without any scruple of conscience or fear of incurring any penalty, judgment, or censure, and may freely and lawfully be used. Nor are superiors, administrators, canons, chaplains, and other secular priests, or religious, of whatever title designated, obliged to celebrate the Mass otherwise than as enjoined by Us. We likewise declare and ordain … that this present document cannot be revoked or modified but remains always valid and retains its full force.”
