Mass this afternoon – Unity of the Church… differently

Today at 1700 EDT I will say a Votive Mass “for the unity of the Church”, once called “ad tollendum schisma”.

Deus, qui errata córrigis,
et dispérsa cóngregas, et congregáta consérvas:
qu?sumus, super pópulum christiánum tuæ uniónis grátiam cleménter infúnde;
ut, divisióne rejécta, vero pastóri Ecclésiæ tuæ se úniens,
tibi digne váleat famulári.

O God, who settest straight what has gone astray,
and gatherest together what is scattered, and keepest what Thou hast gathered together:
we beseech Thee in Thy mercy to pour down on Christian people the grace of union with Thee,
that, putting disunion aside and joining themselves to the true Shepherd of Thy Church,
they may be able to render Thee worthy service.

Some will immediately think that this is aimed at the SSPX situation. While it is that, it is even more aimed at those who are clearly out of step with the Holy Catholic Church while still formally belonging to her. Those who tear at the unity of the Church through their ambiguous or heretical teaching, their twisted liturgical choices, their antinomialist anarchotyranny, their petty backbiting bullying and abuse of authority. These are the true underminers of the unity of the Church, not those who strive to preserve Tradition.
