Un avis de Mgr Marcel Lefebvre sur Mgr Walter Kasper
Mgr Lefebvre a connu celui qui allait devenir le cardinal Kasper. Nommé par Jean-Paul II, ce dernier était déjà « l’homme à penser du Synode de 1985 ». Il semble qu’il soit également celui de 2014. Déjà, il y a vingt-cinq ans, le fondateur de la Fraternité Saint-Pie X mettait en garde contre la dangerosité de la pensée du personnage.

« Le pape vient de nommer Mgr Kasper en Allemagne. Il était secrétaire du Synode en 1985, présidé par le cardinal Danneels de Bruxelles. Kasper était le chef, l’homme à penser du Synode. Il est très intelligent et c’est l’un des plus dangereux. Le pape vient de le nommer évêque. Il est un peu comme l’évêque de Trèves qui est président de l’Assemblée épiscopale allemande (1) et qui est très dangereux aussi. Ce sont tout à fait des gens de gauche qui, au fond, rejoignent les Rahner, les Hans Küng, mais qui se gardent bien de le dire. Ils prennent des formes pour éviter qu’on les associe à eux, mais ils ont le même esprit. »
 Fideliter N° 70, juillet-août 1989, pp. 12-13.

(1) Karl Lehmann, évêque de Mayence (Allemagne) depuis le 21 juin 1983 et devenu ensuite cardinal le 21 février 2001

Tradical Translation

Archbishop Lefebvre knew the man who would become Cardinal Kasper.  Named by Pope John Paul II,  he was already the 'man behind the thought of the 1985 Synod'.  It seems that he equally so for the Synod fo 2014.  It has been 25 years since the founder of the Fraternity of Saint Pius the Tenth put us on our guard against the dangerous thoughts of this man.

"The Pope has come to name Mgr Kasper in Germany. He was the Secretary of the Synod in 1985, presided over by Cardinal Danneels of Brussels.  Kasper was the leader, the man behind the thought of the Synod. He is very intelligent and is one of the most dangerous. The Pope has named him a bishpo.He is a little like the bishop of Trèves, who is president of the German Episcopal Conference and who is also very dangerous. They are leftists who, in fact, join the Rahner and Hans Kung's, but who guard their words better.  The use forms of expression to avoid being associated with them (Rahner, Kung), but they are of the same spirit.

A Look Back: A short history of the SSPX

 + JMJ  I started a timeline a while back but never finished it.  Fortunately, here's one that brings us up to 1994!!! P^3 http://archives.sspx.org/SSPX_FAQs/a_short_history_of_the_sspx-part-1.htm   A short history of the SSPX A presentation given by Fr. Ramon Angles in Kansas City, MO, on the 25th Anniversary of the founding of the SSPX and reprinted from the January 1996 issue of The Angelus . Part 1 The history of the Society of St. Pius X begins, of course, in the mind of God. But do not believe that its temporal origin is to be found solely at the time of the post-conciliar crisis. The Society of St. Pius X was made possible ...

SSPX and the Resistance - A Comparison Of Ecclesiology

Shining the light of Church Teaching on the doctrinal positions of the SSPX and the Resistance. Principles are guides used to aid in decision making.  It stands to reason that bad principles will lead to bad decisions. The recent interactions between Rome and the SSPX has challenged a number of closely held cultural assumptions of people in both sides of the disagreement. This has resulted in cultural skirmishes in both Rome and the SSPX. Since it is the smaller of the two, the skirmishes have been more evident within the SSPX.  The cultural fault-line that Bishop Fellay crossed appears to be linked to two points of Catholic Doctrine: Ecclesiology and Obedience.  The cultural difference of view points is strong enough that it has resulted in the expulsion of a number of members.  It should also be noted that some other priests expelled since the beginning of the latest interactions (starting in 2000) held the same view points and have joined with the l...

Morning and Evening and other sundry Prayers

+ JMJ Along the theme of P^3 (Prayer, Penance, Patience), and for my own reference ... here is a collection of Morning and Evening prayers from the Ideal Daily Missal along with some additional prayers. In this crisis of the Church, I do not think it is possible to do too much prayer, penance and have patience. P^3

Dogmas of the Catholic Faith (de fide) - Expanded Listing: Answer for Reader

 + JMJ  A reader asked the following question in the 2015 version of the article on the Dogmas of the Catholic Faith (link) : 117: "In the state of fallen nature it is morally impossible for man without Supernatural Revelation, to know easily, with absolute certainty and without admixture of error, all religious and moral truths of the natural order." Where can you find this in the documents of the Church? ( Link to comment )  Here's the reference from Ott: The citation that Ott provided was Denzinger 1786 and the source document is Dogmatic Consitution Concerning the Faith from the First Vatican Council (Papal Encyclicals - link) : Chapter 2 On Revelation, Article 3: It is indeed thanks to this divine revelation , that those matters concerning God, which are not of themselves beyond the scope of human reason, can, even in the present state of the human race, be known by everyone, without difficulty, with firm certitude and with no intermingling of error. Here's ...
