New Latin Rite

In the Catholic Church the Rites are separated between the east and the west.  The Western Rite is also called the Latin Rite, consisting not only of the Tridentine Mass, but also of the various usages, such as that of the Dominicans, which were permitted under Quo Primum.  As an ape of the Catholic Church, the Pog Church has retained these divisions. The Eastern Rites have remained somewhat untouched in their native countries, but where they have immigrated into the New World, such as the United States, their liturgies have been translated into English.  However the Western Rite was mutated before, during and after Vatican II into the Novus Ordo Rite with a New Mass and new Sacraments.
The Novus Ordo Rite established in the spirit of Vatican II has separated from the use of Latin in favor of the introduction of the vernacular in most of its cerremonies.  Traditionalism formed as a reaction to the changes in the 1960's, which culminated with the institution of the Novus Ordo Missae as the centerpiece of a set of new rites of the Sacraments.  In the 1970's it was hoped that this radical sect would merely die out.  However, this did not prove to be the case, especially with the consecration of bishops to perpetuate Traditionalism by Archbishop Lefebvre and Bishop Ngo-Dihn Thuc in the 1980's.  After the consecration of bishops by Lefebvre on June 30, 1980, Wojtyla excommunicated Lefebvre, Bishop de Castro-Meyer and the four new bishops.  At the same time he began laying the ground work for the long desired Tridentine Rite by instituting the commission Ecclesia Dei and founding the Society of Saint Peter, consisting mainly of ex-Lefebvrite priests.  Under Ecclesia Dei the new priests ordained for the Society of Saint Peter are ordained by the local Novus Ordo bishop, who also administers confirmation. 

Principles Required to Belong to the New Rite

The first principle is an acceptance of Vatican II, a principle that Marcel Lefebvre stated often, if he could do so in the light of tradition, hence the name Traditionalist.  This may be allowed, provided that Novus Ordo Rite is allowed its own theological tradition, which has grown up from a different interpretation.  However, they must agree on the new papal doctrine which is professed by the Pog Church; a doctrine that will pave the way for the admission of the Eastern Orthodox into the Pog Church as another acceptable liturgical and theological tradition. 
Acceptance of the validity of the Novus Ordo Missae, a condition already accepted by the Society of Saint Peter. As a separate rite, Traditionalists who join this rite will be allowed their own liturgical tradition.  However, they will in practice be required to assist at the Novus Ordo Missae, or an Easter Rite, whether Orthodox or uniate (in union with Joseph Ratzinger and his church), when their Latin Rite is unavailable.  The admission of the Eastern Orthodox will bring this more palatable option to the New Latin Rite participants. 
Also required will be an acceptance of the validity of the New Rite of Ordination. The Society of Saint Pius X has just written a series of articles proclaiming the validity of the New Rite of Ordination, which it has held in practice for decades.  In the late 1970's the SSPX admitted Philip Stark, S.J., who was ordained in 1970 in the New Rite.  Later they admitted a bishop, who was consecrated in the New Rite of Episcopal Consecration.  It is also said that Lefebvre ordained one of the early SSPX priests with the New Rite.  The Society of Saint Peter accepts men ordained by Novus Ordo bishops, some of whom have been consecrated in the New Rite and possibly ordained. 
Basically the New Latin Rite will accept the legitimacy of the Novus Ordo Rite as merely another acceptable liturgical and theological tradition.  How long until the Eastern Orthodox are admitted with a minimizing of the doctrine of the Papacy?  When will Anglican Catholics likewise be admitted within the sphere of the Pog Church?
Remember the 1962 Missal was the first step in the changes, which resulted in the Novus Ordo Missae.

Note in the decrees from the Pog Church often captilization is omitted where it should be used.  These are produced exactly as found in official books of the Pog Church.
