When is Tradition going to be restored back into the Church of Christ, the Catholic Church?

There are Catholics in full communion with the Pope and the Catholic Church and there are "cafeteria Catholics" who pick and choose what they want to believe and practice. A couple of examples are "Catholics" who are pro-abortion and "Catholics" who refuse to accept the teachings of Vatican II.

The term "Cafeteria Christians" refers to people who view Christianity like a cafeteria where one picks and chooses only those beliefs that appeal to them and reject a genuine interpretation of Christian doctrine and the teachings of Jesus.

The term "Cafeteria Catholics" is similar. It is used to describe people who dissent from certain teachings of the Catholic Church while maintaining an outward identity as Catholics.

In Los Angeles in 1987, Pope John Paul II said: "It is sometimes claimed that dissent from the magisterium is totally compatible with being a "good Catholic," and poses no obstacle to the reception of the Sacraments. This is a grave error that challenges the teaching of the Bishops in the United States and elsewhere."

Heresy is the obstinate denial after Baptism of a truth which must be believed with divine and Catholic faith.

"Cafeteria Catholics" in denial of certain truths are in danger of committing heresy.

With love in Christ.

That being copy/pasted without credits makes me wonder how much of that you understand. Nevertheless, any ordnance, any additions made to holy scriptures as canonized since the 4th century are abominations if required as obligatory. Any church practices in conflict with the final canon of the Bible after about 419 AD should be discarded. Instead, today's Catholic Church is almost wholly divorced from the Church instituted by Jesus and His remaining original apostles. Many of the papal decrees since then have risked the integrity of God's word by reopening the canon. The Church desperately needs yo return to the simple instructions of the original completed and canonized Bible. I worship in such a church, non-denominational, no man or organization on earth commanding us. Jesus is Lord in Heaven and Earth. We hear the voice of God, obey the Holy Spirit, as authorized by Jesus. Get the people between you and God out of your way today.

So here is a problem with what you are proposing. And believe me there are several.

First of all the second vatican council was a legitimate ecumenical council. That means that the decisions of the council are binding and infallible.

To contradict the council would be to contradict the church.

I would suggest that if you actually read the documents you will find that there are no contradictions, only natural doctrinal development.

Another problem.

say we revert back to the way the church was by the council of Trent. What makes that council legitimate. Why not go back to the council before that. Each council is legitimate to question one, you must question them all. and that would be silly as they are all infallible.

I too have noticed changes not only in the Catholic church but in churches world-wide. One thing in particular that is hard for me to understand is the loss of the desire to truly follow the teachings of Jesus Christ like you said. As people slowly distance themselves from God the church feels that they have to follow so they don't loose their members. True faith would be to continue teaching the true principals that will provide help and protection to overcome life's trials.

What really caught my attention is when you said there is a need for a restoration of these principals. But what is also important is that these principals you've pointed out are just a few examples of teachings that have been changed in the last 2000 years. No man in his own power could retore the full truthfulness of the gospel of Jesus Christ. There is simply too much that has been lost, changed, and manipulated.

Fortunately for us, God does have the power to restore these pratices, etc. I know personally that God has done so already, almost 200 years ago in the year 1830. The only difference is that he did not do so through the catholic church (He couldnt put new wine in old bottles). I send you a link because I could never explain in a short reply like this the significance of this restoration through a living prophet. But what I can tell you is that I know that God has restored (not reformed) his church by calling a prophet, 12 apostles, and giving them the same power and authority to lead his church that had been givin to the apostles of old. These truths are so important to know, to live, and to follow. Im so grateful for the Restoration of the Church of Jesus Christ!

"The revisions interior the liturgy are displeasing to God" Which do you think of displeases Him greater: The Novus Ordo Mass, or Catholics who actively sell branch interior the Church to the component of schism? Any good Catholic in his appropriate suggestions can parent that one out. The question is, are you able to?

It is OK to be a traditionalist Catholic. It is not OK to be a disobedient Catholic to the authority Jesus provided. I can empathize with your position but I believe you place yourself in real danger by separating yourself from the true authority of the Church. God bless!

In Christ

the Catholic Church has never changed

I am so glad there's another Traditional Catholic here! I thought that I was on my own here!

Why don't you wait until you're elected pope - then and only then should you pontificate!

"Any good Catholic in his right mind... "
