Tradition is reemerging

During the turbulent years of  1962-1965 B.C.E. (Bestest Council Ever) when we all thought that everything with the One True Holy Roman Catholic and Apostolic Church was jake, a sudden revolution fell upon us.

And now the revolutionaries appear to be in complete control but the lessons of history remind us that, often, it is just at that moment when the Empire seems indestructible that it is at its weakest.




Tradition is reemerging

From ABE Ministry Hymnal.

Come gather ’round Catholics
Whose Capitol is Rome,
Admit insipidity
Around you has grown,
And fight it like Hell
Tooth, Nail, and Bone,
If your soul to you is worth savin’
You'd better keep fighting or you’ll sink like a stone
For Tradition is reemerging

Come libs and progressives 
Who rhyme hen with pen,
Keep eyes and ears open
Your chance won’t come again,
And don’t speak too soon
For Heterodoxy is sin,
The one's smiling now will soon lose that grin
For the loser now will be later to win,
For Tradition is reemerging

Come Cardinals and Bishops
Ignore the call,
Don't dress in your civvies
Shun Paul the sixth hall;
For he not arriving
Will someday be thriving,
There’s a battle outside and it is ragin’
It’ll soon shake your windows and rattle your walls
For Tradition is reemerging

Come priests and deacons
Throughout the land,
And don’t criticise
Whom you can’t understand,
The men of Tradition
Are beyond your command,
Papolatry is rapidly agin’
Pray Ad Orientem, Worship not man
For Tradition is reemerging
The line it is drawn
The future is cast
The slow one now
Will later be fast
As the present now
Will later be past
Modernism has been submergin’
And the first one now will later be last
For Tradition is reemerging
