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

The Catholic Church and the Rule of Law- Part II: Dr. John Lamont

By
+ JMJ This is the second article from Dr. Lamont from his lecture given in May 2014. P^3 Source Part A: Society of St. Hugh of Cluny Source Part B: Society of St. Hugh of Cluny 8 May2014 The Catholic Church and the Rule of Law- Part II By John Lamont To understand how the Jesuit conception of obedience departed from earlier conceptions, it is helpful to compare it with the teaching of St. Thomas on obedience. The fundamental difference between the two is that St. Thomas considers the proper object of obedience to be the precept of the superior (2a2ae q. 104 a. 2 co., ad 3). Obedience that seeks to forestall the expressed will of the superior does not bear on what the superior wants or thinks in general, but only on what the superior intends to command. St. Ignatius’s lowest degree of obedience, which he does not consider to be virtuous, is thus what St. Thomas considers to be the only form of obedience. St. Thomas holds that St. Ignatius’s alleged higher forms of o...

Open Letter to Cardinal Gantin - July 6, 1988

By
There has been some discussion (read lots) about the term 'Conciliar Church'. I have posted this letter written by the Superior General and District Superiors of the SSPX after the 1988 Consecrations. Of particular interest is that the 'Conciliar Church' being referred to as a system. My paraphrase would be that the SSPX regards the 'conciliar Church' as an error within the Church.

Rome and the SSPX - Version 2026 Part 6b: Principles and Rules for Surviving this Crisis of the Catholic Church (Principle 1)

By
 + JMJ Principle 1: Realize that something is amiss in the Catholic Church The world in which I had my Traditional Awakening, is one in which practically anything pre-Conciliar such as liturgy, doctrinc, and even dogmas are either suppressed, ignored or re-framed to be acceptable to the ‘world’. What is more, the people adhering to these pre-conciliar teachings and liturgy are persecuted by other members of the Catholic Church. The things that non-Trads say about Trads can be quite extreme. For example, accusations against Traditionalists include that they are: A revival of the Jansenists (link) , Schismatics, Heretics, Uncharitable, Lefebrists Radicals Integrists When one group of Catholics is persecuted by the others for simply wanting to live as Catholics before them did for generations … well something is wrong. Further, we need to realize that when what was previously condemned is now promoted and what was previously promoted as the trut...

Forget the Reformation - It is time for Abrogation - Louie Verrecchio

By
Mr. Verrecchio has pointed out one solution to this crisis that is a dream of many Traditional Catholics of my acquaintance: The complete obliteration of the Novus Ordo Missae. If this were to occur, undoubtedly a revolt would occur within the Church, but the battle lines would be much clearer.  I assume that a lot of material heretics would make the transition to being formal heretics. P^3 Prayer Penance Patience Courtesy of Louie Verrecchio A recent article by Fr. Thomas Kocik on the New Liturgical Movement website,  Reforming the Irreformable? , is getting some well-deserved attention in traditional circles. (Do yourself a favor and read it in its entirety if you haven’t already.)
