• the Neoplasm of the Mass is not a clear profession of the Catholic Faith (which the Holy Catholic Mass is), because it is ambiguous and Protestant. And because a Catholic must pray as he believes, he cannot participate in the Neoplasm of the Mass and still continue to believe as a Catholic.

• the changes were not merely cosmetic, but rather we are dealing here with a “complete renovation … a complete change … a new quality” (Msgr. A. Bugnini, co-author of the Neoplasm of the Mass)

• the Neoplasm of the Mass leads to the conviction that “truth (…) can be changed or ignored without abandoning the deposit of doctrine, to which the holy Catholic Faith is bound for all time.”

• the Neoplasm of the Mass represents a “striking departure from Catholic theology of the Holy Mass as it was formulated in Session XXII of the Council of Trent”, which, by establishing immutable “canons”, erected “an insurmountable barrier against any heresy directed against the integrity of the Mystery”.

• the difference between the Neoplasm of the Mass and the Holy Catholic Mass does not consist merely in ordinary details or in a change of ceremonies, but rather “everything that has eternal value occupies a secondary place in the Neoplasm of the Mass, if indeed it is found there at all”.

• “the reforms have sufficiently demonstrated that the latest changes in the liturgy lead only to the disorientation of the faithful, who clearly show symptoms of anxiety and of loss of the Catholic Faith”.

• in these present times full of confusion, the words of Our Lord guide us: “By their fruits you shall know them.” The fruits of the Neoplasm of the Mass are tragic.

• “among the high-ranking persons in the hierarchy of the Vatican sect the practical result of the Neoplasm of the Mass is the absence of Catholic consciousness.”

• the “pastoral reasons” brought forward in support of so grave a rupture with the Catholic Faith (…) are by no means sufficient.

• the Neoplasm of the Mass does not express faith in the Real Presence of Our Lord Jesus Christ in the Host.

• the Neoplasm of the Mass confuses the Real Presence of Christ in the Eucharist with His Mystical Presence among the people, thereby drawing near to Protestant doctrine.

• the Neoplasm of the Mass blurs what ought to be a clear distinction between the Hierarchical Priesthood and the common priesthood of the faithful (as Protestants do).

• the Neoplasm of the Mass favors the heretical theory which teaches that it is the faith of the people, and not the words of the priest, that causes the presence of Christ in the Eucharist.

• the insertion of the Lutheran “prayer of the faithful” into the Neoplasm of the Mass imitates and promotes the Protestant error that all men are priests.

• in the Neoplasm of the Mass there is no separate “Confiteor” of the priest, and he recites this prayer together with the faithful, thereby approving the attitude of Luther, who rejected Catholic teaching by proclaiming that the priest is judge, witness, and mediator between the faithful and God.

• the Neoplasm of the Mass suggests that the faithful concelebrate with the priest, which is contrary to Catholic theology.

• six Protestant pastors collaborated in the preparation of the Neoplasm of the Mass: George, Jasper, Shepherd, Kunneth, Smith, and Thurian.

• just as Luther removed the “Offertory” because it clearly expressed the sacrificial and propitiatory character of the Holy Mass, so too the creators of the Neoplasm of the Mass removed these prayers, reducing them to a short “preparation of the gifts”.

• in the Neoplasm of the Mass enough Catholic theology was removed so that Protestants, while still maintaining their hostility toward the Catholic Church, could freely use its text. The Protestant pastor Max Thurian (a consultant for the liturgical reform) said that one fruit of the Neoplasm of the Mass was this: “perhaps the fact will come about that non-Catholic communities will be able to celebrate the Lord’s Supper using the same prayers as the Catholic Church.” (“La Croix”, April 30, 1969)

• the narrative form of the Consecration in the Neoplasm of the Mass gives the impression that it is only a memorial (which is the Protestant thesis), and not a true Sacrifice.

• through grave omissions (in the texts of the prayers), the Neoplasm of the Mass leads to the conviction that it is only a meal (which is the Protestant thesis), and not a sacrifice for the remission of sins (as Catholic doctrine teaches).

• changes such as a table in place of an altar, the priest turned to face the faithful rather than the tabernacle, Communion standing or even received in the hand, emphasize the Protestant doctrine which teaches that the Mass is only a meal, the priest only the president of the assembly, and the Eucharist not the Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity of Our Lord Jesus Christ, but merely a piece of bread.

• Protestants themselves declared that: “the new Catholic eucharistic prayers have abandoned the false (?!) perspective of a sacrifice offered to God.” (“La Croix”, December 10, 1969)

• we are placed before a choice: either we allow ourselves to be Protestantized by participating in the Neoplasm of the Mass, or we preserve our Catholic Faith by remaining faithfully attached to the Catholic Holy Mass of All Time.

• the Neoplasm of the Mass was prepared according to the Protestant definition of the Mass: “The Lord’s Supper or Mass is the sacred synaxis or assembly of the people of God who gather together under the presidency of the priest to celebrate the memorial of the Lord.” (Par. 7, Institutio Generalis, April 6, 1969)

• because of its ambiguity, the Neoplasm of the Mass appears to satisfy both those who call themselves Catholics and Protestants: it is therefore “bilingual” and offends God, who abhors all hypocrisy: “A whisperer and a doubletongued man is accursed, for he hath troubled many that were at peace.” (Ecclus. 28, 15)

• beautiful, well-known Catholic hymns, which inspired the faithful throughout the centuries, have been forgotten and replaced with new ones of a strongly Protestant coloring, so that one is not participating in a Catholic service.

• the Neoplasm of the Mass contains ambiguities which subtly lead toward heresy, which is more dangerous than if it contained open heresies, since such “half-heresies” halfway resemble Catholic Truth.

• Christ Our Lord has only one Bride, the Catholic Church, and her liturgy cannot at the same time serve confessions which are her enemies.

• the Neoplasm of the Mass imitates Cranmer’s heretical “Anglican mass”, and the methods used to introduce it were identical to those used by the English heretics.

• the Catholic Church canonized numerous martyrs from England who were killed because they refused to take part in a mass like the Neoplasm of the Mass.

• Protestants who converted to Catholicism were scandalized when they saw that the Neoplasm of the Mass was the same service in which they had participated as Protestants. One of them, Julien Green, asked: “Why, then, did we convert?”

• statistics show a great decline in the number of conversions to Catholicism after the introduction of the Neoplasm of the Mass and the confusion. The average number of conversions fell by as much as 90%, and the number of faithful losing the Catholic Faith far exceeds the number of converts.

• the Holy Catholic Mass formed many true Saints.

• the Neoplasm of the Mass, despite appearances, introduces a new faith, not the Catholic Faith. It introduces modernism and imitates the tactics of modernism, using ambiguous terminology in order to implement and spread errors.

• by introducing optional variants, the Neoplasm of the Mass lacks liturgical unity, since each celebrant may change it as he pleases and as his imagination allows. The inevitable result is disorder accompanied by irreverence and contempt.

• many good Catholic theologians, canonists, and priests do not accept the Neoplasm of the Mass and state that they cannot celebrate it with a clear conscience.

• the Neoplasm of the Mass removed such elements as genuflections (only three remain), the purification of the priest’s fingers in the chalice, the protection against the priest’s fingers touching unconsecrated things after the Consecration, the consecrated altar stone and relics, and three altar cloths (reduced to one). And “all these changes serve only to emphasize in what outrageous manner faith in the dogma of the Real Presence of the Lord has been indirectly rejected.”

• the Holy Catholic Mass, enriched and developed through centuries of holy Tradition, was codified (not invented) by a pope who was a Saint – Pius V – whereas the Neoplasm of the Mass was artificially created by six Protestant pastors and the 33rd-degree mason “Archbishop” Bugnini, who was known for his ties with Freemasonry.

• the errors of the Neoplasm of the Mass, highlighted in translations into the vernacular, are now found even in the Latin text of the Neoplasm of the Mass.

• the Neoplasm of the Mass, by its ambiguity and permissiveness, exposes us to the wrath of God through an invalid consecration.

• the suppression of the Holy Catholic Mass recalls the prophecy of Daniel (8, 12): “And strength was given him against the continual sacrifice, because of sins (…)” as well as the observation of St. Alphonsus Liguori that – since the Holy Mass is the best and most beautiful thing existing in the Church here on earth – the devil, using heretics, has always tried to deprive us of it.

• where the Holy Catholic Mass has been preserved, there are the Catholic Faith and zeal. Where the Neoplasm of the Mass reigns, the opposite is the case (Report on the Mass, Diocese of Campos).

• the Neoplasm of the Mass is accompanied by a new catechism, a new morality, new prayers, a new Code of Canon Law, a new liturgical calendar – in short, a new church, or rather a sect, entirely different from the Catholic Church. “Liturgical reform … do not let yourself be deceived, this is where the revolution begins” (Msgr. Dwyer, “Archbishop” of Birmingham, spokesman for the synod of “bishops”).

• the interior beauty of the Holy Catholic Mass draws souls to it, whereas the Neoplasm of the Mass, which in itself possesses no higher value, must invent novelties and provide entertainment in order to attract the faithful.

• the Neoplasm of the Mass contains numerous errors condemned by St. Pius V at the Council of Trent (the Mass entirely in the vernacular, the words of Consecration pronounced aloud, etc. – cf. the condemnation of the Jansenist Synod of Pistoia), as well as errors condemned by Pius XII (for example, an altar in the form of a table – see the encyclical “Mediator Dei”).

• the Neoplasm of the Mass tries to pass off as the Catholic Church a sect of ecumenical confession, embracing all ideologies and all religions – true and false, truth and error. This is the goal long dreamed of by the enemies of the Catholic Church.

• the Neoplasm of the Mass, by removing the calls addressed to the faithful and the final blessing when the priest celebrates without the people, shows a lack of faith in the dogma of the Communion of Saints.

• in the Neoplasm of the Mass, the table (altar) and the tabernacle are separated, thus suggesting a division between Christ present in His priest and Sacrifice on the altar and the Real Presence of Christ in the tabernacle, “two Presences which by reason of their deepest essence must be treated as inseparable” (Pius XII).

• the Neoplasm of the Mass does not express man’s adoration of God, but rather the earthly admiration of man for man.

• Pope St. Pius V granted a perpetual permission, valid “for all time”, to celebrate the Holy Catholic Mass freely, lawfully, without scruple, penalty, sentence, or censure (bull Quo Primum)!

• antipope Giovanni Battista Enrico Antonio Maria Montini aka Paul VI, in promulgating the Neoplasm of the Mass, declared: “(this) rite (…) is not in itself dogmatically defined” (November 19, 1969).

• “in the Libera Nos every mention of the Blessed Virgin Mary, the Apostles, and all the saints was abolished, so that their intercession is not invoked even in danger.”

• “in none of the three new eucharistic prayers is there the slightest mention of the sufferings of the souls in purgatory, in none of them is there any place for a particular commemoration, which once again weakens faith in the propitiatory and redemptive nature of the Most Holy Sacrifice.”

• as the First Vatican Council defined, “the Holy Ghost was not promised to the successors of Peter so that by His revelation they might disclose new doctrine, but that by His assistance they might religiously guard and faithfully expound the Revelation delivered through the Apostles, or the Deposit of Faith” (Denz. 3070).

By participating in the Neoplasm of the Mass, we expose our faith to great danger and our souls to corruption and poisoning. We must remember that the Holy Mass is the principal and greatest source of graces with which God endows us in this earthly life. If, as in the case of the Neoplasm of the Mass, the mass ceases to express the true Catholic faith and thus ceases to be holy, then the source of graces is poisoned, and our souls receive as food a poison which leads us in this earthly life into spiritual darkness, and then to eternal perdition.
