Principles and the SSPX Part 1

JMJ

I strongly suspect that the FUD weavers are working in full force now that Bishop Fellay is no longer the superior of the SSPX.

For example here's a couple of headlines from Rorate:

Le Figaro on SSPX election: "Fellay toppled", "Side opposed to deal with Rome now in charge." 

 ... and figaro's title:

Lefebvrists: Bishop Fellay is toppled, Father Davide Pagliarani becomes new Superior-General

... I know that sensationalism sells newspapers, but it still doesn't give them mind reading abilities.

I'm also a little disappointed in Rorate's desire to see (I assume) the way the winds are blowing by posting an old interview by Fr. Pagliarani.

Meet the New Superior-General of the Society of Saint Pius X: Davide Pagliarani

 Let's be clear about something: Very few humans have ever been able to read hearts.  

On the side of the 'resistance' we have thoughts such as:

What we have is neo-SSPX window dressing.  A new face, with no power.  

The Menzingen brotherhood have their face-man, but will still run the show, especially negotiations with newChurch (cathinfo)
Frankly, this was predictable.

The 'resistance' wanted Bishop Fellay 'overthrown' and now they spin webs of conspiracy theories that Bishop Fellay really is in charge still. 

They must really be afraid of Bishop Fellay.

So afraid that they turn to Bishop Williamson who spews for garbage like this:
Up-date:
            In 2018 the official Church, visible in Rome and all over the world, is still Conciliar, and therefore virtually schismatic and virtually excommunicated.  Yet this is the Newchurch into which Bishop Fellay has for 20 years been trying with his liberal colleagues at the top of the Society, to  make the Society re-enter.  But occupying a nightingale’s nest does not turn cuckoos into nightingales.  Bishop Fellay and his colleagues are turning the Archbishop’s Society of Catholic nightingales into their own Newsociety of liberal cuckoos.
 This isn't even his normal FUD, it is simply messed up thinking that abandons Catholic Doctrine.

To Bishop Williamson, the scattered and divided resistance I have this to say:

Suck it up Buttercup!

Simply put, the Pope, Cardinals and Bishops are largely in error (and heresy) but until they are officially removed from their positions by an authority (read: NOT Bishop Williamson et al) they still have that authority.  

Short version: If they issue a legitmate command (hey it could happen), then it is sinful to disobey.

Catholic Principles are sometimes hard to live by, but abandoning them to 'solve' a problem is simply wrong.  In the case of many of them (Modernists, Sedevacantists, 'Resistors') the ends have become the means.  

 No matter what changes are made, they will continue on their wide path to perdition.  

 Chosing something that goes against Catholic Principles, Doctrine and Dogma simply is wrong.

 The Modernists are wrong when they do it.

 The 'resistance' are wrong when they do it.

 Even the SSPX would be wrong if they did it.

 So pray that they continue to abide by and be guided by Catholic Principles.

 P^3

Rome,the SSPX and this time of Crisis - Updated

By
+ JMJ Obviously there's lots of events right now. First we have the April 1st - I almost thought it was April Fools - meeting between Pope Francis and Bishop Fellay.  Nothing really news worthy as this is a natural progression as Rome appears to be considering fulfilling Archbishop Lefebvre's wish to 'accept us as we are'. Second we have the April 8th publication of what will be a verbose exhortation of the Synod of the Family. I'm willing to bet that the Pope will give with one hand (unilateral regularization of SSPX) and take with the other (ambiguous document that opens the flood gates of sin further). Much to pray for.

SSPX and the Resistance - A Comparison Of Ecclesiology

By
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...

Validity of new rite of episcopal consecrations - Courtesy of SSPX.org

By
+ JMJ In the blogosphere there are number of responses to this crisis in the Catholic Church that lead to conclusions that run counter to Catholic Doctrine and Dogmas - if taken to their logical conclusion. The validity of the New Rite of Episcopal consecrations is one such hotspot within more extreme sections of the 'traditionalist' culture. Validity of new rite of episcopal consecrations Courtesy of SSPX.org Why the new rite of episcopal consecration is valid Introduction This comprehensive study was compiled to settle a debate that has been circulating in traditional Catholic circles. Some writers have examined the new rite of episcopal consecration and concluded that it must be invalid. Since this would cause manifest problems if it were true and due to the heightened awareness of such a theory, we present a study of this question concluding that it is valid. Following the Council, in 1968 a new rite for the ordination of bishops was promulg...

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...
