We are fortunate to be able to share this film: "Bread Not Stones" – A Heartbreaking Documentary on the War Against Traditional Catholics in Charlotte Diocese. In this powerful 50-minute film by Regina Magazine, witness the real human cost of Pope Francis's Traditionis Custodes as implemented by Bishop Michael Martin in the Diocese of Charlotte, North Carolina. Far from abstract debates, this exposé strips away polemics to focus on the faces and voices of everyday faithful Catholics – families, converts, young adults, and priests – who are suffering from what many call a "forced divorce" from their beloved Traditional Latin Mass (TLM). Key Highlights:Personal Testimonies: Hear from parishioners at St. Ann Parish, including nine men discerning priesthood (two for the Fraternity of St. Peter), as they describe how the TLM fostered deep reverence, strong marriages, conversions, and vocations. One convert shares: "The Latin Mass captivated me... it's where I found my faith."
Community Devastation: Families now drive hours to a distant chapel in Morrisville, facing "liturgical schizophrenia" and fears of division. It's portrayed as a modern "Babylonian exile," denying spiritual nourishment ("bread") in favor of harsh policy ("stones") – echoing Matthew 7:9.
Plea for Mercy: Direct appeals to Bishop Martin for compassion, arguing restrictions weaken the Church by alienating vibrant communities and reducing vocations. Subtle nods to traditional prayers combating demonic influences add depth.
Hope Amid Heartbreak: Despite the pain, the film affirms the TLM's timeless power to unite diverse believers through sacred silence and Latin's universal language.

This isn't just about liturgy – it's about people. If you're Catholic, traditionalist, or interested in Church controversies, this film reveals the "great harm" from misplaced policies, as praised by viewers on X (formerly Twitter) like Dr. Peter Kwasniewski: "A poignant chronicle that needs to be shared widely."Watch now and join the call for change!
