Question
Fr. Jerome,

I'm very, very interested in this. You use the term "New Order" when referring to some Catholics or situations. What does this mean? What's the difference between a New Order vs a traditional Catholic?

If you could offer a detailed compare and contrast, I would greatly appreciate it! Also, any references to other sources where I could learn more about this would be great. I'm hoping that if you clarify this for me, it would also answer a lot of other questions I have about Catholicism and conflicting teachings/beliefs I've heard from all range of Catholic Christians.

Answer
The term "traiditional Catholic" refers to the Catholic Faith as taught and practiced for the last 2000 years.  "New Order" is the new sect that was manufactured at Vatican II (1962-1965), particularly the Protestantized "Mass" and Sacraments fabricated by Hannibal Bugnini, a Freemason presbyter, and his committee of six Protestant mininisters, culminating in the "New Mass" or Novus Ordo (New Order) service of 1969.  The latter took hold of most parts of the Church for the last four decades, but there is evidence that it is losing ground and that traditional Catholicism is growing rapidly.  For further information, see the references at www.traditio.com/tradlib/faq05.txt.
