Time and again, motivated by a spirit of evil, Francis has attacked the universal language of the Church.
As noted here:
Francis lamented on the feast of Epiphany about those whose religion he said was self-referential and encased in a “suit of armour”, “Have we been stuck all too long, nestled inside a conventional, external and formal religiosity that no longer warms our hearts and changes our lives?”
And, “Do our words and our liturgies ignite in people's hearts a desire to move towards God, or are they a 'dead language' that speaks only of itself and to itself?”
Talking about his self-referential Synod on Synods, he said that the task is “to journey together, to listen to one another, so that the Spirit can suggest to us new ways and paths to bring the Gospel to hearts of those who indifferent, distant, and without hope.”

Have you ever encountered a priest, Bishop or layman who impugned the Latin Mass? Is such an attitude even Catholic? In a word, no. In his Apostolic Letter Ecclesia Dei, Pope John Paul II said that, "Respect must everywhere be shown for the feelings of all those who are attached to the Latin liturgical tradition...for the use of the Roman Missal according to the 1962 edition."
And, in his book "Salt of the Earth," Joseph Cardinal Ratzinger said, "I am of the opinion, to be sure, that the old rite should be granted much more generously to all those who desire it. It's impossible to see what could be dangerous or unacceptable about that. A community is calling its very being into question when it suddenly declares that what until now was its holiest and highest possession is strictly forbidden and when it makes the longing for it seem downright indecent."
To be sure, Vatican II called for an extended use of the vernacular. But nowhere did Vatican II call for the Latin language to be abolished from the liturgy. And anyone who claims otherwise is either ignorant of the facts or a liar. The Constitution on the Sacred Liturgy (Sacrosanctum Concilium) No. 36 states clearly that, "Particular law remaining in force, the use of the Latin language is to be preserved in the Latin rites."
Number 54 of this same Vatican II document teaches that, "In Masses which are celebrated with the people, a suitable place may be allotted to their mother tongue. This is to apply in the first place to the readings and "the common prayer," but also, as local conditions may warrant, to those parts which pertain to the people, according to the norm laid down in Art. 36 of this Constitution.
Nevertheless steps should be taken so that the faithful may also be able to say or to sing together in Latin those parts of the Ordinary of the Mass which pertain to them."
This is the teaching of Vatican II and the mind of the Church on the use of Latin and the attitude Catholics should have toward those who are attached to the Latin liturgical tradition.
A prophecy given by Pope Pius XII is being fulfilled before our very eyes. The Reign of Antichrist approaches.

"If the Church is to remain truly the Catholic Church, it is essential to keep a universal tongue."
Cardinal Heenan (1967)
Latin is the immutable language of the Western Church. -Pope John XXIII
Immutable. Unchangeable. Bergoglio’s hatred for Latin is demonic.
I agree with Paul and with Andrew. Bergoglio is a man full of hate for the rite and for those who adhere to the rite. This can only be demonic in nature. Exorcists typically say that demons hate Latin, prayers in Latin are more painful for them to hear and they react violently to it. Bergoglio confirms this effect. That this is true is an indicator for all people that if Latin is more painful to demons, then the Roman Rite which uses Latin is the best and most authentic expression of the proper worship of God as God intends. Naturally doing away with the Holy Mass in the Extraordinary Form would be what Satan would pursue.
You are spot on, Paul, as usual. For what Bergoglio and his henchmen are doing to Holy Mother Church will be severely punished in the afterlife! Have these men no fear of God? The audacity of their sinful pride is astounding. Praying for the restoration of Holy Mother Church. Stay close to Our Lady in prayer!
It's interesting to note that all of the current heads of the dicasteries who were involved in Vatican II (way back when) all gave interviews during the Council talking about their desire to do away with the Latin Mass in favor of one that was more accessible to "our Protestant brethren."
So now the wolves are guarding the hen house ...
