Was there anyone who foresaw the danger posed by Cardinal Kasper?  Yes, Archbishop Lefebvre saw it and warned us.

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.

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

What the heck is a congregation of "Pontifical Right"

+ JMJ In a discussion with a friend the question occurred to me that I didn't actually know was is involved in being a religious order of 'pontifical right'. I had a vague notion that this meant they reported to Rome as opposed to the local diocese. I'm also aware that, according to the accounts I have heard, the Archbishop received 'praise' and the written direction to incardinate priests directly into the SSPX.  This is interesting because it implies that the SSPX priests were no longer required to incardinate in the local diocese but in the SSPX. This is something that belongs to an order of 'pontifical right'. Anyway here's some definitions: Di diritto pontificio is the Italian term for “of pontifical right” . It is given to the ecclesiastical institutions (the religious and secular institutes, societies of apostolic life) either created by the Holy See or approved by it with the formal decree, known by its Latin name, Decretu...

Is the object of Catholic, Jewish and Islamic worship the same God? - Updated

+ JMJ Do Jews and Muslims worship the same God as the Catholics? This question is raised often in the context of the statements made in the Second Vatican Council concerning these two religions. Namely: In the first place amongst these there are the Muslims, who, professing to hold the faith of Abraham, along with us adore the one and merciful God, who on the last day will judge mankind.( Lumen Gentium 16) The Church regards with esteem also the Moslems. They adore the one God, living and subsisting in Himself; merciful and all- powerful, the Creator of heaven and earth, (Nostra Aetate 3) Nostra Aetate 3 - Footnote: 5. Cf St. Gregory VII,  letter XXI to Anzir (Nacir), King of Mauritania  (Pl. 148, col. 450f.)

A Reply to Martin Blackshaw’s FLAWED Remnant article titled: FLAWED: SSPX Advice on Abortion-tainted Vaccines

 + JMJ    An article has appeared in the Remnant (link to article) and I am afraid that there are a number of flaws in it that need to be addressed. The author, Martin Blackshaw, believes that both the Church and the SSPX are misapplying the principle of Moral Theology called 'Cooperation In Evil'.  Unfortunately, Mr. Blackshaw rests most of his arguments on citing authors that support his position, without considering the possibility that they are wrong. This highlights a key factor in this crisis: ignorance of the faith and its application . I don't am not singling out Mr. Blackshaw for this criticism, I have observed that it applies to laity and religious, superior and subject a like.  No one seems immune in this enduring crisis, myself included.  I further believe that this ignorance is why so many Catholics, both traditional and non, rely on their gut feeling or "Catholic conscience" for charting their way through this crisis of the faith.  While...

A Look Back: A short history of the SSPX

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.
