God’s laws are necessary for our salvation.

God does not change laws. Secular power, on the contrary – often. Which law is more perfect? Lord Jesus says in the Gospel: “Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I did not come to abolish them, but to fulfill them” (Mt 5:17).

Matthew teaches that the Law is an expression of God’s will. In this sense, the Law cannot be abolished, but only implemented. The Law and the Prophets mean that God’s commandments rest on the commandment of love for God and neighbor. Therefore, where love is taught, there the Law is correctly explained, and therefore St. Paul says that love is the fulfillment of the Law. We know from the Gospel that Jesus taught us that all commands and laws, as well as regulations in the field of religion, express only one command: To love God and neighbor. Those commands and regulations that lead to this are good and we cannot cancel them, but on the contrary, regulations that move away from love or make it more difficult must be abandoned.

After the Second Vatican Council, many regulations were canceled and changed, to make love a better way of life. Therefore, the traditionalists who reject the post-Council changes are not right, in other words, they do not want to give the Law a new spirit. Let’s remember Archbishop Lefebvre, who in Elkon ordained new bishops without the permission of Rome and the Pope, who, like him, are against the fact that everyone can celebrate the Holy Mass and the sacraments in their own language. He was of thought the Latin language should remain. After all, we see that the Holy Mass in comprehensible language helps us to love the Lord God more. On the other hand, the progressives, who want to change everything in the name of false freedom, and want to abolish the Law, are not right either.

During the Vatican Council, there was also talk of a church regulation that does not allow married priests to celebrate Holy Mass and administer the sacraments in our Roman Rite. That priests should not marry is not God’s law, but the church’s. These progressives want marriage for priests. For now, the law is that Roman priests do not marry. The law of love, because was established by the Church – not for property disputes, as the enemies of the Church teach and say, but so that the priest and own owned and family do not stand in the way of fulfilling his duties as a priest who is supposed to take care of spreading the teachings of Jesus Christ, teachings of love. So neither the strict traditionalists nor the innovators – progressives – are right.

In the Church, Jesus Christ is right, who is represented by the visible head of the Church – the Pope. When the church authority led by the Holy Spirit orders something, we accept it and believe that it will bring the appropriate blessing for us as well. Therefore, let’s all try to fulfill God’s and the church’s commandments so conscientiously and honestly, to spread the love of God in ourselves. We must not cancel even the smallest commandment, or bypass it out of the conviction that it is nothing, because the Lord Jesus tells us: “Whoever, therefore, breaks one of these commandments, even the smallest one, and thus teaches people, he will be the least in the kingdom of heaven.” (Lk 5:19). That is why we want to keep even the smallest commandment to obtain a higher degree of eternal bliss.
