SSPX: The Deadly Dangers of Interfaith Dialogue

JMJ

There are lots of dangers in ecumenism and its offspring "interfaith dialogue". The obvious one was the Assisi meetings ... but there is a long and inglorious list of cringe worthy events.

Pray for the conversion of sinners.

Bishop Indunil Janakaratne Kodithuwakku Kankanamalage (left of Pope Francis)

Pope Francis has appointed Fr. Indunil Janakaratne Kodithuwakku Kankanamalage as Secretary of the Pontifical Council for Interreligious Dialogue. He is a priest of the diocese of Badulla, Sri Lanka, who until now has been the assistany-secretary of this department.

In an interview with Rome Reports, the prelate said that there are “clear signs that not everyone in the Muslim world is accepting jihadism.” He is basing this statement on the document “Human Fraternity for World Peace and Living Together” that was signed by both Pope Francis and the [Sunni] Imam of Al-Azhar in Abu Dhabi. And he continues, “This is a clear example.”

This example could not be more unfortunate. As we have shown in several articles (links below), the cited document is erroneous on the Catholic side, and sins by omission on the Muslim side. To want to find there a “clear sign” is to participate willingly in a serious illusion, which is unfortunately paid for in victims. Has Fr. Kankanamalage forgotten the Islamist attacks last Easter, which cost the lives of 300 people in his own country?

Nevertheless, the prelate insists that by encouraging interreligious dialogue, this text gives “a way out of tribalism,” which he sees as the principle problem. This is a desire to reduce the Islamist phenomenon and not grasp the very reality of Islam.

Jihad, completely missing from the document, is an essential element of Islam for Muslims, prescribed by the Qur'an and Islamic tradition (hadith). Of course, every Muslim is not a terrorist, but this fight, this armed struggle for the cause of Allah is genetically part of Islam. To make it disappear can only be accomplished by removing many passages from the Qur'an and annulling part of Muslim tradition.

A peace partially founded on natural elements can exist, which is certainly a good thing, but it will always be fragile. For peace is the work of justice, and only Jesus Christ gives God the worship that He justly deserves. Through His commandments and His law of love contained in the Gospel, He is the peaceful King who must reign over individuals as well as societies.

Unfortunately, since Vatican II, the neglect of this eminently religious truth has led the present hierarchy to be unfaithful to its duty. This forgetfulness leads to blindness that worsens in the measure that it develops its interreligious policy.

A Look Back: Archbishop Lefebvre’s Prophetic Address to The Remnant, 1976

+ JMJ Looking back is important to understand why we are where we are in this crisis. Courtesy of RemnantNewsPaper P^3 FOR THE FIRST TIME ONLINE: Archbishop Lefebvre’s Prophetic Address to The Remnant, 1976 Written by Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre Introduction by Michael J. Matt More than forty years ago—during the disastrous reign of Pope Paul VI, the latest candidate for a Vatican-issued Halo Award, by the way—my father, Walter L. Matt, organized the first large scale public reception in the U.S. for the late Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre. It was held at the Radisson South Hotel, Minneapolis, on Tuesday, May 12, 1976, and its stated purpose was to assist the Archbishop in gaining a stronger foothold for the Society of St. Pius X in the States during the unprecedented crisis Blessed Pope Paul had helped unleash on the Church. On that occasion Archbishop Lefebvre delivered ...

Of the Church and the Pope - Fr. Calmel O.P.

+ JMJ Once again, looking back to see if the 'Traditional Catholics' in the early days of this crisis of the Church had a sufficient view to realize the roots of the crisis. The root: The Pope Hence when the Pope is 'righted' the Church will be 'righted'. P^3 Courtesy of SSPXasia Fr. Roger Calmel, O.P. This essay by Fr. Roger Calmel, O.P. (1914-75) helps us in these difficult times to preserve our love of the Church. More than 30 years after its first publication, this article retains all its relevance, so much so that it even seems to have been written for our time, in which the crisis in the Church deepens at an unprecedented pace. This essay will help the reader to think clearly, keep the Faith, and maintain serenity in the troubled times we are navigating. “My country has hurt m e,”wrote a young poet in 1944 during the purge 1 when the head of state [Charles De Gaulle] implacably pursued the sinister job that had been in the wo...

Canonical Mission and State of Emergency - A Response to Mr. John Salza - Part B

+ JMJ I was trying to think of a way to map out the time course I discussed in Part A of this article. Early this morning it came to me that this is more about obedience and duty than canon law. As is my wont, I mapped out my thoughts (see image) to draw linkages between the core concepts. My conclusion is that, at least subjectively, Archbishop Lefebvre had sufficient information to make good decisions concerning whether or not he was obliged to obey. I know that the Jesuits, some Sedevacantists and the priests that left over the years will not agree with my thoughts. So be it. The core pieces of information include: Attacks against the SSPX were launched because they kept the Tridentine Mass and the pre-conciliar understanding of the Truths of the Faith. The authorities in the Church were willing to go against the laws of the Church. The same authorities encouraged the various dangers to the Faith embedded in popular interpretations of ambiguo...

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

+ 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...
