Pope Francis Complains That The Stripped And Barren New Mass is Producing Too Many Hypocrites!

Hypocrites?
“What makes people hypocrites? They disguise themselves, they disguise themselves as good people: they make themselves up like little holy cards, looking up at heaven as they pray, making sure they are seen—they believe they are more righteous than others, they despise others. ‘Mah,’ they say, “I’m very Catholic, because my uncle was a great benefactor, my family is this, I’m that… I’ve learned... I know this bishop, this Cardinal, this priest... I am this or that...’ They think they are better than others. This is hypocrisy. The Lord says, ‘No, not that.’ No one is justified by himself. We all need to be justified. And the only one who justifies us is Jesus Christ.“ Pope Francis At Mass this morning at Casa Santa Marta.

Your first reaction to the words of the Pope on hypocrites? Of course the pope is referring to those who attend the Latin Mass - the hypocrites are those only attend the Latin Mass, because trads are told over and over again just how self righteous we all are.

This is a fair observation? How does Pope Francis know how trads behave at Latin Mass? Does Francis attend the Latin Mass to observe those in attendance? We know the pope doesn't say the Latin Mass and probably never will, so, again, if the pope is referring to self righteous trads here in his statement on hypocrites how does he know?

Unless of course Pope Francis is making a judgment about those he runs into on a daily basis - who are the new mass attending Catholics. That would make sense that the pope is making a judgment on those who attend the stripped and barren new mass, because this is the crowd the pope sees day in and day out.

So its safe to say that the stripped and barren new mass is producing too many hypocrites and its best to abolish the new mass and return to the old to help put an end to all the hypocrisy. As was said a long, long time ago:
Thus saith the Lord: Stand ye on the ways, and see and ask for the old paths which is the good way, and walk ye in it: and you shall find refreshment for your souls. And they said: we will not walk
Ask for the old paths - the old way of doing things - return to the Latin Mass and you shall find refreshment for your souls.

And of course those who attend only the stripped and barren new mass will say NO!
