Changing emphasis changes purpose.

The so-called "Liturgy wars" are raging in the Church these days. Frankly, most Catholics don't have the slightest idea that they are even happening, or for that matter, what the Liturgy wars even are.

For the record, a decent way of understanding the concept is that the Liturgy — the Mass and other formal prayers of the Church — not only gives worship to God, but at the same time sums up and expresses what the Church believes. Therefore, the words, gestures and postures have a dual purpose. If you change or alter one, you necessarily change or alter the other. If, for example, you dumb down the words used to give glory to God, you will necessarily dumb down people's awareness of God's majesty, sovereignty and so forth.

Dumb-downed Liturgies, in short, dumb down people's faith because their intellects become dulled.

Now, why is there a war in the Church going on over this (perhaps best summed up generally as the raging battle between the Latin Mass adherents, a decided minority, and the supporters of the Novus Ordo Mass, translated as the New Order of the Mass)? In short, those who support and likely attend the Latin Mass, generally speaking, are aware that the New Mass has certain deficiencies in how it speaks to and about God. Those deficiencies do not cancel the efficacy of the Mass. They don't make the consecration not happen. They don't invalidate the Mass. But that's not the point, whether the Mass is valid or not.

With the exception of breakaway schismatic groups like the SSPX, which actually labels the New Mass "evil," no reasonable minds in the Catholic world spout that idiocy. However, that does not mean that just because it's valid, everything is OK and there are no problems with it. This is where things start to get somewhat into the weeds, because huge numbers of Catholics have a poor understanding of liturgy, both in its purpose and effect. However, for those who do grasp this extremely important point about the importance of liturgy, there is a massive battle raging.

In short, there are those on the spiritually bereft side who actively seek to water down the Faith and replace its objective meaning with a more emotion-based understanding. They don't like or support, and in some obvious cases don't believe, Catholic teaching. They want the Church to be something other than She has always been, and so, in an effort to water things down, they water down the Liturgy. It's a pretty ingenious way, in fact, to accomplish their means.

Since Catholics who supposedly believe the Faith attend Mass, if they can present a dumbed-down Mass then they can create a dumbed-down laity. They have been largely successful. In clear terms, why would a Catholic attending watered-down Masses for most or all of his life develop any authentic sense of the Eucharist, the need for confession, and so forth?

The Holy Eucharist.

Back in 1994, during the pontificate of St. John Paul II, a question arose in the secular media that was circulating in Catholic circles. In sum, the question was this: Can a Catholic disagree with Church teaching and still be a "good" Catholic? John Paul rightly said, "Of course not!"

The media jumped all over this conflict and, of course, conducted a poll of Catholics who already believed the error because of their horrible catechesis. They announced that most American Catholics did believe they remained good Catholics even while rejecting Catholic teaching.

So grab a seat and look at these numbers we have gleaned from various polls and surveys from the past few years.

• Only about 1 in 4 Catholics attend Mass weekly
• Among the weekly attendees, only 13% agree that contraception is immoral
• More than 2 out of 3 support homosexual "marriage"
• 51% believe abortion should be legal in most or all circumstances
• 7 in 10 do not believe in the Real Presence of Our Lord in the Eucharist
• The overall percentage of Catholics relative to the total population drops to 1 out of 5
• For every convert, 10 leave the Church

Such is the miserable condition of the Church today. One of those points we'd like to focus on is the horrible poll results about the Real Presence. Without the Eucharist, there is no Catholic Church. It's just that simple.

It's no secret that much of the juice behind the move to the Latin Mass is coming from younger Catholics. Pope Francis has even publicly expressed his puzzlement over it, wondering out loud what would be attracting young people — who had no experience of the Church prior to Vatican II — to begin embracing tradition.

So when he published Traditionis Custodes, essentially slamming traditional-minded Catholics and marginalizing the Latin Mass in what sure looks like an attempt to completely destroy it, young Catholics, in particular, went on the offensive.

It's a sorry lot.

As U.S. bishops finalize their plans for their Baltimore meeting in less than two weeks, it will be interesting to see if they have any discussion on the COVID craziness they have been so instrumental in helping spread.

Bishops, like Ed Burns in Dallas, have led the charge in promoting fear and instituting virtual tyranny with the faithful. Of course, it's all done in the name of health and your safety because, you know, you aren't mature enough to make your own decisions.

For decades, this lackluster group has done nothing except promote the notion that we Catholic laity are not children — we are mature adults and should stand upright in our decision-making. Our consciences are our guide. We don't have to kneel like little children to receive Holy Communion or be fed like we are toddlers. We are mature — full Catholic citizens.

We should be involved in the life of the Church. We should be in the sanctuary. We need "active participation." Of course, all that hogwash gets dumped overboard the instant any layperson actually takes it seriously and follows it to its logical conclusion.

They are more closely related than you think.

As we reported on our Evening News two nights ago, Church Militant is in receipt of leaked documents from the USCCB that reveal there will be nothing done or said about pro-abort child killers receiving Holy Communion. Likewise, it is stated explicitly in the letter that the press is not to share these documents. Too late on that score.

Bishops, you need to realize there are many close to you who simply reject your cowering and evil but who live in too much fear of you all to confront you about it. But we have now reached a point in the life of the Church (in the United States certainly, if not the world) where faithful priests can no longer withhold the truth out of fear of being sacked by their bishop.

Church Militant reports on these stories nonstop because, frankly, they happen nonstop. Truth costs. And declaring the truth almost always comes with a cost. The more direct the truth, the higher the cost. Just ask St. John the Baptist.

They destroy, lie, cheat and steal.

Here in the United States, the Church hierarchy has moved into a new era of taking revenge on good priests who want accountability, transparency and truth. Many bishops over the past decades have been slimy characters, proceeding as they do from the line of Judas, but a new era has appeared with this sordid lot. They are taking open, public revenge on good priests all over the country.

And, given the recent spate of all this, it cannot be a coincidence. It never is with this bunch. For example, Fr. Mark White from the diocese of Richmond in Virginia is being persecuted by Bp. Barry Knestout, who was the secretary to Theodore McCarrick.

Priests going underground.

Back near the beginning of the media-hyped Wuhan-virus crisis, priests were contacting us saying they were extremely opposed to their bishops shutting down access to the sacraments, but knew that if they said anything about it openly, that would be the end of any public ministry they had.

However, the conversations with clergy around the country generated an idea that has now turned into a reality, and we are announcing it today: a Church Militant initiative for priests to speak out against all this corruption and cowardice among bishops, but also in a way that protects them thoroughly.

Before we get into our effort here, if you know a priest who would be open to this, please send this to him immediately.

The heart of the problem is this: Many faithful priests are getting tarred for the bad actions of their bishops. They are seen by quite a few as complicit for not speaking out and condemning the actions of the bishops — not just regarding the Chinese Communist Party virus, but a host of other issues as well, such as giving Holy Communion to anti-Catholic, fake-Catholic politicians; the constant pushing of the Marxist political line about climate, immigration, BLM and so forth.
