This diocesan priest will not "sign the oath" that is the imminent Vatican document set to further restrict and crush the celebration of the Traditional Latin Mass. As for himself, he will follow the example of saints Thomas More and John Fisher, who were faced with a similar document during a similarly dark time in the Church's history, yet who "made the right choice", even though they stood alone, and even unto death.
Please Note: Father gave this sermon on June 23, 2024, two days before The Remnant's Rome correspondent obtained confirmation that the document in question does exist, and does forbid Bishops from granting permission for the celebration of the TLM, effectively cutting off 75% of Latin Mass availability in the United States alone. The date for the papal signature and release of this document have not yet been disclosed, but you can read the details thus far known in the Remnant's exclusive article on the subject here: https://remnantnewspaper.com/web/index.php/articles/item/7252-vatican-document-further-restricting-tlm-said-to-exist-be-backed-by-cardinal-parolin
