Continued from..... Tell me why Holy Father?
Holy Father, what are you considering concerning the Supreme Office of the Chair of Peter? You are the legitimate successor of St. Peter, and to you have been given the Keys of the Kingdom of God. Why, Holy Father, would you even consider any change in the monarchial structure of Holy Mother Church, which Christ Himself declared when He chose Peter to be the Prince of the Apostles and gave to Him the full and supreme power to act, teach, and govern in His Name, so that the One True Faith He gave to the world might be preached to every nation, and every nation could be brought into the One True Faith through conversion as Jesus asks in Mark 16: 15?
Do you see, Holy Father, why I, a humble daughter of the Church, am confused at best, and worried about the changes that have already reduced the Roman Catholic Church into a more protestant church, and am even more concerned about further changes in Holy Mother Church that could very well take away the Four Marks of the One True Church?
I have taken the lives of the saints into my heart and pondered there upon their lives that I, too, through God's grace and Mercy, may attain to sainthood, to the degree of sanctity to which Our Lord has ordained me. But now, Holy Father, when you "consign to oblivion the excommunications of the past," when, in Assisi in 1986, you permitted a statue of Buddha to be placed upon the tabernacle and allowed and participated in the Buddhist monks offering incense to a false god, I must ask if these dear saints, be they martyrs or not, gave their lives over to Christ in vain, since you have apologized for the Church (not the individuals who may have sinned) for Her sins of the past? Holy Father, the Church is holy. It is so because Christ is the Head, and He alone is Holy, for He is God. The human members of the Mystical Body of Christ in the Church Militant do sin, and they are called to repentance through the Sacrament of Penance. However, Holy Father, in this diocese, and in many others in the United States, this Sacrament of Reconciliation has been so reduced that the notion or understanding of sin is also consigned to the past. Everyone goes to Communion, dressed in any type of clothing, and many times immodest, to receive Our Lord Himself in such a manner that can only be described as low, even base and lacking any clarity of thought that it is Christ Himself that they are receiving.
Holy Father, would you be so kind to explain to your humble little daughter why all of the reforms of Vatican Council II have reduced the One True Faith into just another church among many other churches? Can you explain why you have "consigned to oblivion all the excommunications of the past" thus voiding the true saintliness of the martyrs and saints, who gave their lives that heresy, apostasy, and schism from the One True Faith might cease as God intends, not as man intends to form a one-world religion, so as to fulfill, in human terms, that passage in Sacred Scripture where Our Lord promises that there will be but one flock and one shepherd. Never can there be one flock and one shepherd unless there is but One True Faith to which all other faiths must be converted that they, too, might live.
Holy Father, I am but a humble little child who comes to you, the Vicar of Christ, to ask you to answer these questions for me. I must say to you that I have found again the Latin Mass, and here, Most Holy Father, I find the Fullness of the One True Faith, the sound Dogmas, Doctrines, Teachings and Traditions of the Roman Catholic Faith that have withstood every assault from within and without until Vatican Council II. Here, Holy Father, is my Lord, God and Savior. Here is the Mass I was weaned on and grew to love so. Here, I am able to offer with the celebrant to the Father His Only-Begotten Son in the unbloody sacrifice of Calvary, and here I find that Confession is readily available, sound direction is given by the priest in the confessional, and the beauty, solemnity, and majesty of the One True Faith is extolled, practiced, and loved as the priceless pearl of Sacred Scripture.
Dear Holy Father, we hunger so for the truth and our hearts, minds and souls are only fed by those truths which were absolute, unchangeable prior to Vatican II. Why must the Church conform to the world? We must conform the world to the absolute truths Christ taught. But so much of what has emanated since Vatican II have left Catholics confused, weakened, denied, contradicted, resigned to accept sight unseen the ambiguous rhetoric that fails to confirm or define absolute truths of our Faith.
And, finally, dear Holy Father, please explain to me that passage in Sacred Scripture in which Our Lord Himself asks if, when He returns to earth as Judge, will He find any faith left upon the face of the earth. Surely, Holy Father, He is speaking of the One True Faith that has always marked the Roman Catholic Church, and held her above all other faiths, and has led men unerringly to their eternal end-Heaven. Tell me, please, tell me what did our Blessed Mother mean at LaSalette when she said, "Rome will lose the Faith and become the seat of the antichrist"? I know many in our country have lost the Faith, is Rome losing it, Your Holiness? I pray that is not so.
In truth, Holy Father, I can no longer find My Lord God and Savior, Jesus Christ, in the mainstream Novus Ordo masses of this diocese or most other dioceses, so insidious have the changes been made that have totally made of Holy Mother Church just "another church" on the street corner. My soul nearly starved, my faith was nearly extinguished, until I returned to the Latin Mass. Please, Holy Father, why cannot you say to all the faithful throughout the world that the Latin Mass is totally valid, it was never abrogated, never nullified, and allow any priest anywhere the right and privilege of saying the Latin Mass? Why, Holy Father, if you have "consigned to oblivion all the excommunications of the past" will you not come forward and say that the Society of St. Pius X is totally in accord with the Magisterium and allow those who are adrift on an ever-changing sea of experimentation within Holy Mother Church to once again find their sure anchor in this most august rite that has never changed in upholding the fullness of the Roman Catholic Faith?
With deep affection and humble obedience, I pray that you will have but a moment to answer me, so that I might be informed if I have misunderstood what you have said and done. I pray for you every single day of my life and will continue to do so. Please, Holy Father, among all the other letters you must receive, I pray that this little letter will be answered, not only for my sake, but for the many who are also confused, and who wish to attend the Latin Mass which is not readily available, nor in some places, will the local ordinary even allow it. There need be no schism between the Latin Rite and the Novus Ordo Rite. Dear Holy Father, if both rites are right, then there need be no concession needed between either one.
I will close now, Holy Father, because I know that your schedule is very busy and you have little time to listen to even one of your children, a humble daughter seeking answers to serious questions that have arisen since Vatican Council II, and continued by you, who are the Vicar of Christ.
Holy Father, where have they taken Him? Where is my Lord?
I remain your humble servant, Most Holy Father, and I thank you for reading my letter and answering me from your heart.
Your little daughter and humble servant,
Mrs. Cyndi Cain
