Catholics, you have been robbed of the Mass!




WHAT IS THIS VIDEO ABOUT?

This is a clip from the 1973 made-for-TV film "Catholics" (later renamed "The Conflict"), shown full-length on US public broadcasting stations. It is a visually and intellectually impressive film. The story line is faithful to Brian Moore's 1972 book by the same name. The film depicts the real-life confrontation between Traditionalists and Modernists in the Roman Catholic Church after the highly controversial and divisive Second Vatican Council.

The Modernist occupiers of the Church's official structures arbitrarily order Catholics to join with heretical sects in a so-called "ecumenical" movement that contradicts the authentic teachings and traditions of Catholicism. A group of Irish monks decides to continue with Catholic Tradition and remain faithful to the Tridentine Latin Mass. When the monks' fidelity to the Mass inspires an international following, the Modernists become alarmed and disconcerted, rightly fearing worldwide Catholic resistance to their sinister plot.

Martin Sheen is the agent sent by the Modernists to force the monks to accept the new religion and its schismatic new liturgy or face excommunication at the hands of the Modernists. Great dialogue ensues as some of the monks eloquently defend their Faith.

The acting by Trevor Howard is absolutely flawless and authentic. It is masterful, heartfelt, and beautiful. Almost equally so is that of Cyril Cusack, who plays the role of Father Manus, a monk. Martin Sheen's role is important, but not nearly as much as Howard's, and not remotely as well-crafted.

The DVD version of the film titled "Catholics" is very grainy, with lines running through it, and soundtrack distortions that make it hard to enjoy.

The digitally re-mastered version of this film by Digiview, titled "The Conflict" (run time 77 minutes) has the best quality and is available for purchase on Internet. This film, like the book, will interest everyone that likes philosophy or religion, regardless of their faith or lack of one.

Ook bij de vervolging van de liturgische misbruiken, die hebben geleid tot zware schade voor de Kerk, zijn de bisschoppen nalatig geweest.

Liturgische misbruiken kwetsen het geloof en de eenheid van de Kerk.

Ze schenden het mystieke Lichaam van Christus, dat de Kerk is.

Elk liturgisch misbruik, zelfs het kleinste, moet worden gerapporteerd en met de middelen die het strafrecht kent, bestraft worden, afhankelijk van de ernst van de zaak.

Het Kerkelijk Recht kent strafrechtelijke middelen, zoals de waarschuwing en de berisping, de schorsing en bij ernstige mistoestanden, het interdict, de excommunicatie, de ontheffing uit functie, boetes, enz., en tot slot de wegzending uit de clericale staat, wanneer het geestelijken betreft.
