Hey clown, the official report says a majority of bishops said there isn’t a problem with B16s decision and the actual conclusion is
there. We knew this was leaked beforehand but now it is official. Sorry your deceitful attempt to suppress the mass like a good Protestant was based on lies.
Ok, then. I still don’t understand. Why a small group of Trads, an insignificant minority inside the Catholic Church, is the only one to be prosecuted inside the Church? They could ‘t do harm since they are so few. Why so much fuss about them?
But it makes perfect sense when we remember that there is nothing on Earth, in fact in the entirety of the Creation, that is more powerful towards the true intentions of God Himself for that Creation than the Holy Catholic Church, and all of the Truths of the Deposit of Faith, whole and entire, which She alone is privileged to hold and commend to humanity, that the Holy Will of God for the salvation of souls be accomplished.
Those who wittingly (through error embraced) or unwittingly (through ignorance, pride, all manner of sin) oppose this Will, and answer to the Father of Lies, will overtly do, or be used by others to do, any and all violence imaginable to the Leaven who cleave to the True Faith.
It does not matter how apparently tiny that morsel of living Leaven is in the eyes of the world. The Evil One knows it is a mortal threat to its anti-Kingdom. Evil has battled it’s immense power, from the Garden on out, and will continue to exercise every means possible to subvert that power, to pull into its own dark vortex souls weakened by the error taught them, to cripple and destroy those who speak Truth, to thereby frighten away others from following that Truth, and if it were possible, to abort that power.
Of course that is not ultimately possible, for this power is grounded in the true Church, which will always stand. And the more She does stand in counter-point to error, and in some ways the more lean, singular and pointed becomes Her Light shining through the increasing chaos and abject darkness, the more hated She is, and the more hated also therefore anyone who clings to Her, and dares to exercise the power given them by God to leaven the creation, and thus to challenge the Great Lie, and its unholy Father.
In other words, truth wills out. Truth always finds a way to rise and be revealed when attempts to suppress it are tried. God is Light and Truth so it should not surprise us that lies, misrepresentations, and obfuscations are eventually uncovered and shown to be the works of the evil one.
Excellent reporting Diane. In addition, the facts on the ground further support the CDF's conclusion. In addition to the survey, If the Vatican had sent representatives to visit TLM parishes during masses they would have seen many young people, families and others with deep devotion to the faith, further evidence that the TLM is unifying and spiritually powerful. They didn't do this because they knew what they would find.
Only lie here is saying that a report that has fairly strong recommendations to leave things alone is somehow a recommendation to shut all these ordinations and masses down, humiliate the former Pope who was making progress on fixing a broken liturgy.
I think she chooses her word more carefully than you. Be honest, the Vatican is prone to coverups. Pope Francis ignoring the survey and inserting his own agenda is perfectly believable.
If you want transparency then the Vatican may as well start by addressing these two mega scandals that are not being talked about by any media whatsoever instead of focusing on a distraction :
Scandal #1: One month before the conclave Survival Network for Abused priests published the list of cardinal electors who had protected pedophile priests and Prevost was on it. And they willingly went ahead and elected him! We can forget about the current claimant to the throne of St Peter doing anything about sex abuse in the Catholic Church.
Scandal #2: A second scandal is that the cardinals violated Pope JPII papal law on elections Universi Dominici Gregis by having 133 cardinals voting when the maximum allowed is 120 and also because they elected a candidate who had made statements against catholic doctrine (Fiducia Supplicans, Amoris Laetitia etc), contrary to Pope Paul IV’s Bull Cum ex Apostolatus Oficio.
Because that a man is pope is not a presumption of fact but a conclusion of the law, and the law was not followed in the election of May 8th, 2025. Jesus himself confirms the juridical nature of the Church when he tells St Peter in Matthew 18:18 “Truly I tell you, whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heave, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heave.”
A real and rare journalist! Please don’t back down. I imagine that you are under an immense amount of pressure.
Ignore “Sacerdotus”. It’s a fake account. Vade retro mihi satana.
A self referential post…how Francis-like.

So far, nobody has been able to answer.
It does seem counter-intuitive, doesn’t it?

Yea no, but nice try. There is nothing in there contrary and we have the summary. Like the Jungmann, the
great reformer of the mass said; it’s a fairy tale, a myth to say the mass was
ever versus populem. Ever. You guys just have an agenda and smash the facts to make it work.
This needs to be more widely distributed. Catholics deserve the truth. We aren’t getting it from our Bishops.
I think she chooses her word more carefully than you. Be honest, the Vatican is prone to coverups. Pope Francis ignoring the survey and inserting his own agenda is perfectly believable.
Well, I was trying to be polite. Your understanding of certain prelates in the Vatican aren’t worth debating.
Brava Diane
Let me guess - the Vax stops the spread, right?
Sacradotus runs a "peripheral ministry." The TLM & its adherence to unchanging dogma & doctrines are the greatest threat to the homosexual agenda.
- which is precisely why he's commenting, and linking his own hot-take, on each & every individual reply.
Well done Diane! Truth and transparency must have the final word in the suppression of the TLM and the faithful.
If nothing else from this thread I learned how to block someone on Substack…. Goodbye Sacerdotus….
You richly deserve a Catholic Journalism Award, Diane! Many thanks for your good work, which is a great help to our Church!
The mendacity of the leadership class of an institution whose mission on Earth is to be “the pillar and ground of Truth” is sickening.
“Let your communication be ‘Yea, yea; Nay, nay;’ for whatsoever is more than this cometh of the evil one.” Matt. 5:37
Thank you for your professionalism, honesty and service to the Faith
Deo gratias for Diane and her superior reporting and journalistic skills.
Diane,
So good, your proofs are undisputable!
(so Sacerdotus me too)
Drip, drip, drip . . .
That is a serious charge requiring simple, direct, methodical refutations.
Francis probably did tell the truth that the results of the survey horrified him…
Bergoglio and his minions in the Vatican were lying, like the father of lies, the devil.
Thank you!🙏🏼
Keep coping
