Neither Progressive Nor Conservative but a Restorationist

A Catholic, therefore, is not to be a progressive nor to be a conservative that approves the progress. Rather, a Catholic is to witness to God’s plan from the beginning…to be a restorationist…to be a revivalist who revives the true Gospel message. We don’t provide affirmation to sodomitical activists…we don’t welcome Sodom and Gomorrah into our midst…rather we call all men to repentance. We don’t seek to salvage the New Rites or to seek a reform of the reform as a conservative would, rather we seek the eventual elimination of the Novus Ordo liturgical rupture and a return to the one, unique law of prayer for the Latin Rite, which is the traditional liturgies of Rome. Chesterton stated that Progress is the mother of problems. I would add that conservatism compounds the problem. It is high time that we look back and review the plan from the beginning. To end, Chesterton observed: men invent new ideals because they dare not attempt old ideals. They look forward with enthusiasm because they are afraid to look back.
