Oh LORD, Help these people, for they are troubled.
First, for those who think Latin is just for those who live in the past, the Latin language is the real language of the Faith; coming from Saint Jerome in the 300's. It will be nice when we can travel the world and go into any Catholic Church, and get the same liturgy in the same language.
After much experience and prayer, I find that the Latin Mass from the period of the council of Trent is not Catholic and will need to be replaced when we get a real Pope.
This so called council of Trent and the related Tridentine liturgy (a "trident" is a 3 pronged weapon most often associated with Satan and other demons) was an attempt to legitimize and empower Martin Luther by pretending to fight against him; and has born no fruit in the Church other than poison.
The REAL CATHOLIC CHURCH has 4 distinct marks: 1) It is "ONE"-which means there is not a Latin, Oriental, and Novus Ordo Catholic church but only ONE ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH, 2) It is "HOLY", which means it is a place for man to worship GOD and the only Church to do this, all other so called religions are demon worship 3) "CATHOLIC" which means "universal", or for everyone, and lastly 4) APOSTOLIC-which means passed down from the Apostles.
The false Church today lacks all these 4 marks of the real Catholic Church. It is not ONE, but many, each Church is different in liturgy and teachings. It is not HOLY in any way, but an attempt to water the teachings of JESUS down into nothingness. It is not Catholic because it does not follow the laws of the Church and help men become HOLY. And it is not APOSTOLIC because it is all an attempt to make a new Church, essentially a protestant version of the Catholic faith.
Neither is the so called "fraternity of Saint Peter" Catholic in any way. FSSP is a byproduct of a Modernist invasion of the Catholic Church and Vatican 2. All men must swear allegiance to the modernist teachings of so called Vatican 2.
These men are also not priests as they do not take the vows of chastity or poverty.
They also are not Catholic at all, as they do not believe in dogmas such as THERE IS NO SALVATION OUTSIDE THE CATHOLIC CHURCH. Ask them, I dare you...
This is a dogma that must be believed to be Catholic ---and you will be damned if you choose to ignore this teaching from JESUS and the Lawful Magisterium.
Please read the WORD from LORD JESUS... "Those who find the narrow road to life are very few" Matthew 7:13-14 and...
"If you do not believe that I AM HE, you will die in your sins" John 8: 24
Ask these men what they think and they will admit they do not believe this dogma that is and always will be Church Law.
They will tell you that you can be a "good muslim, jew," or other "pagan" and be saved.
But there is no such thing as a good muslim or pagan as LORD JESUS also stated clearly many times... "ONLY GOD IS GOOD." Mark 10:18
"Severed from ME (the VINE) you can do nothing good" John 15;5-6
and see also the Words from the HOLY GHOST... "ALL the gods of the gentiles are demons" Psalm 95
The parish is a clique of large families who occupy this Church, none of whom are interested in being Catholic, and are just there to agitate you in various ways; live a false life, and of course profit from the fake Church (and related fiat currency economy).
'The so called priests will talk about your private confession, and spread it among the fake laity as well. Classy!
This is the false "end times" church that will appear to be real but is not Catholic in any way.
Take it from me, I went there for several years, and it was a battle at times to deal with the Satanic energies in this lovely little House of GOD.
I was happy to battle for GOD and try to convert these liars occupying this Church property; and I am happy to tell you to not waste your time with this farce from Hell.
Learn the faith on your own and follow all the teachings of LORD JESUS, and you will be fine. The time for the liars in the HOUSE OF GOD is...
Read moreMass here is offered in the Extraordinary form. This is the Latin Mass as it has been said for two millennia before the reforms of Vatican II in 1963. Everyone should experience the Latin mass once because of its' cultural heritage.
I have been profoundly helped by the ministry of FSSP priests, so I feel really bad writing a negative review of an FSSP parish.
I found All Saints in Minneapolis is kind of a dark place. It seems like Father Harkins forgot to exorcise the building before he took over. I am used to a very joyful Extraordinary Form Mass. Not so here, if you say the responses ( the four words of the the lay people are allowed to say) you be the only one there who does. While nobody moves at all, they all somehow manage to turn and around and stare at you like they want to make sure you know there is something wrong with you.
After attending Mass at All Saints, I can understand my friends who had such a terrible experience in church growing up, that they were happy to leave as adults and never looked back. I also left with a real understanding of why the reforms of Vatican II were perceived as necessary.
I think Father Harkins skips parts of the mass, because there is no way anyone could say some parts faster than I can read them silently. Maybe High Mass on Sunday's is better there?
Honestly the nicest thing that happened to me while I was visiting All Saints Minneapolis was when Caleb the intern from Seminary told me I had to leave the church.
When it is Father Harkins prayer day or Father Bauknecht prayer day, you need to pray extra hard for those two priests, like triple, say the prayers three times, because they really need it.
I feel really badly about writing a negative review, but these are my honest...
Read moreAfter my family's conversion in 2010, we went to a few different Novus Ordo parishes, which were fine and had good priests. We are very sensitive to liturgical abuses and particularly bad music, however. And those are almost inescapable for some reason in regular (non Latin Mass) Catholic Churches. Nothing to worry about on that front at All Saints. The beauty of the liturgy will bring you to tears. The masculinity of the old mass is really something to behold and the silence will help you to actually pray at mass. But by far the biggest reason we go here is the solid preaching and teaching. And the confessional is great to. Lots of confession times and the priests don't just go through the motions. "How you pray is how you believe" is an old Catholic saying, and that has never been more clear to me than at All Saints. Lots of really solid Catholic people here who are kind and really care about the faith. It makes it much easier to raise a Catholic family in this environment which so strongly reinforces our...
