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.

The Curious Case of Steve Skojec and the Dangers of Deep Diving into the Crisis Sub-Titled: The Failings of Others

By
 + JMJ It's been a while now since Steve Skojec sold 1P5 and abandoned the Catholic Faith. I've been a 'Trad' since 1982 and in those 40+ years I seen this death-spiral before with a similar end point. It seems that anyone who jumps into the fray unprepared for the enormous task of righting wrongs will, eventually, become discouraged by not the task but the people who surround them.   I remember when Skojec complained of the treatment his family received from a traditional priest.  This seems to have been the start of the end for him. So what can we learn from the likes of Steve Skojec, Michael Voris (maybe?), Louie Verrecchio, Gerry Matatix and other celebrity Catholics? Probably quite a lot about what not to do. First, don't burn out on the crisis?  When you burn out, on work or anything else, little things assume a more greater importance than they are due.   This is one of my 'canary in the coal mine' signals that I've been stretching myself too thin

Morning and Evening and other sundry Prayers

By

In this crisis of the Church, I do not think it is possible to do too much prayer, penance and have patience. P^3

Comparision of the Tridentine, Cranmer and Novus Ordo Masses

By
+ JMJ I downloaded the comparison that was linked in the previous article on the mass (here) . ... a very good reference! P^3 From: Whispers of Restoration (available at this link) . CHARTING LITURGICAL CHANGE Comparing the 1962 Ordinary of the Roman Mass to changes made during the Anglican Schism; Compared in turn to changes adopted in the creation of Pope Paul VI’s Mass in 1969 The chart on the reverse is a concise comparison of certain ritual differences between three historical rites for the celebration of the Catholic Mass Vetus Ordo: “Old Order,” the Roman Rite of Mass as contained in the 1962 Missal, often referred to as the “Traditional Latin Mass.”The Ordinary of this Mass is that of Pope St. Pius V (1570) following the Council of Trent (1545-63), hence the occasional moniker “Tridentine Mass.” However, Trent only consolidated and codified the Roman Rite already in use at that time; its essential form dates to Pope St. Gregory the Great (+604), in whose time the R

What the heck is a congregation of "Pontifical Right"

By
+ 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
