Francis Effect: Washington Cardinal Parades in Empty Church

Washington Cardinal Wilton Gregory visited the parish St Mary Mother of God in Washington DC on November 12. It was a humiliating flop. Barely 30 people attended (pictured left).

Until the publication of Francis' Traditionis Custodes, the church was a thriving Roman Mass parish, writes "DC Rosary Rally for the Latin Mass" (pictured right).

In September 2022, Gregory, with blind obedience, banned all Roman Masses in parish churches, allowing only three places to continue. Until then, 400 faithful routinely attended morning Mass at St Mary's. Then, in 2022, Gregory refused invitations, even from priests, to attend a local Roman Mass.

If this photo wasn't so sad, it would be hysterically funny. In a way, it is. Catholics love our Church and our traditions, especially liturgically. Form statistics alone, it is obvious to anyone with a brain, that Vatican II and it's "reforms", especially in the Mass, were rejected by the Faithful almost immediately. The declines across the board in every aspect of Catholic life began immediately after Vatican II, and especially after 1969 when the Novus Ordo was introduced.
This photo is, actually, hysterical, because it graphically shows how the Catholic faithful have rejected the "reforms" of Vatican II, rejected "cardinal" homo Gregory, and by extension, have rejected homosexual loving Pope Francis and his agenda and "church".
Mass attendance USA before Vatican II--88%
2013=25%
Today 2023=12% (the Francis effect)

Probably because VII was meant to convince Prots that we were worthy of their attention, rather than us just being God's Church and standing on Tradition. The devils poured in.

So we see one parish before and after Traditionis Custodes. Thank you Francis!

Which Dioceses in the US (or nearby countries):
1. Have No TLM available (including from the Diocese, SSPX, independent, etc)?
2. Had such a TLM in the past and thus still have a group of the Faithful who need access to the Mass.

Many. Still, we are lucky to have many SSPX flourishing in the US. The only country with more chapels is France.

The nearly empty church on the left is the one that pushed the experimental shot as an act of charity and emptied the pews during the plandemic. It bowed to all of Caesar’s demands. A Church that refuses to teach the Gospel truth to address the moral issues of the day soon becomes a Church of irrelevance. She serves the children of this world not those of the light.
