Humor: Traddie hymn to the tune of Bob Dylan's "The Times They Are A Changing"

Once again, from the indomitable Amateur Brain Surgeon, we have another gem, this time a 'hymn' from the ABS Ministry Hymnal, "Tradition is reemerging" (see below). The hymn is preceded by the following introductory remarks:
During the turbulent years of 1962-1965 B.C.E. (Bestest Council Ever) when we all thought that everything with the One True Holy Roman Catholic and Apostolic Church was jake, a sudden revolution fell upon us.

And now the revolutionaries appear to be in complete control but the lessons of history remind us that, often, it is just at that moment when the Empire seems indestructible that it is at its weakest.
And here, my friends, is the hymn, to be sung to the tune of Bob Dylan's "The Times They Are A Changing":

Tradition is reemerging

From ABE Ministry Hymnal.

Come gather ’round Catholics
Whose Capitol is Rome,
And admit insipidity
Around you has grown,
And fight it like Hell
Tooth, Nail, and Bone,
If your soul to you is worth savin’
You'd better keep fighting or you’ll sink like a stone
For Tradition is reemerging

Come libs and progressives
Who rhyme hen with pen,
And keep your ears open
Your chance won’t come again,
And don’t speak too soon
For Heterodoxy is sin,
The one's smiling now will soon lose that grin
For the loser now will be later to win,
For Tradition is reemerging

Come Cardinals and Bishops
Ignore the call,
Don't dress in your civvies
Shun Paul the sixth hall;
For he not arriving
Will someday be thriving,
There’s a battle outside and it is ragin’
It’ll soon shake your windows and rattle your walls
For Tradition is reemerging

Come priests and deacons
Throughout the land,
And don’t criticise
What you can’t understand,
The men of Tradition
Are beyond your command,
Papolatry is rapidly agin’
Pray Ad Orientem, Worship not man
For Tradition is reemerging

The line it is drawn
The future is cast
The slow one now
Will later be fast
As the present now
Will later be past
Modernism has been submergin’
And the first one now will later be last
For Tradition is reemerging

Thanks for the bump in traffic, Doc.

In a day or so ABS will post something from Pope Pius XII which will leave the reader wondering is he is to be retroactively charged with anti-semitism.

Kenny Rogers sang about what condition his condition was in; well, we know our condition- we are being hauled into the grave only to shock the world with a return to Tradition and the seditious sextons and spiritual sappers will be shocked when we do not stay dead in the grave and leave them all in the dust - the dustbin of recent ecclesiastical history of roughly fiddy years.

Franciscus was necessary to hasten our death for that seeming death must needs happen before the resurrection.

Hey, y'all; you sextons and seditious sappers, you can tell Charon all about it during your ferry (homophone humor) ride. He will be amused to hear of your many triumphs.

Trad theology is still in trouble.

Cardinal Muller, Archbishop Di Noia and Bishop Fellay's theology is based on hypothetical cases being explicit exceptions to the dogma extra ecclesiam nulla salus

Bishop Fellay and the traditionalists in heresy?

To have a theology based on nonsense ( hypothetical cases being visible in 2016) and then applying it to salvation theology, the Social Reign of Christ the King, Vatican Council II, the Nicene Creed,Tradition...is a little bit too much ?

Why cannot I accept EENS without the irrationality used by Cardinal Muller, Archishop Di Noia and Bishop Fellay? : to indicate invisible cases are visible is a lie

Dear Lionel. By you own irrational claims you are constrained to believe the One True Holy Roman Catholic and Apostolic Church fabricated the circumstances of the martyrdom of Saint Emerentiana and it failed in Faith by rising her to the altars and failed in faith my composing a specific office for her and it continues those lies to this very day.


Please explain why the church did such a nasty thing so long ago?
