+ JMJ I have posted these two chapters to provide context for the quote of: It is, therefore, a strict duty for every priest wanting to remain Catholic to separate himself from this Conciliar Church for as long as it does not rediscover the Tradition of the Church and of the Catholic Faith. P^3 Courtesy of SSPX.ca Chapter II The Perfections of God We ought to remember during this entire contemplation of God that we must apply all that is said of God to Our Lord Jesus Christ, Who is God. We cannot separate Jesus Christ from God. We cannot separate the Christian religion from Jesus Christ, Who is God, and we must affirm and believe that only the Catholic religion is the Christian religion. These affirmations have, as a result, inescapable conclusions that no ecclesiastic authority can contest: outside of Jesus Christ and the Catholic religion, that is, outsi...

+ JMJ I decided to go and see if Church Militant's "FAQ" on the SSPX had been updated. First the opening barrage ... The position of ChurchMilitant.com concerning the SSPX is that of the Holy Father, Emeritus Pope Benedict XVI, as expressed in the motu proprio Ecclesiae Unitatem , issued July 2, 2009: In the same spirit and with the same commitment to encouraging the resolution of all fractures and divisions in the Church and to healing a wound in the ecclesial fabric that was more and more painfully felt, I wished to remit the excommunication of the four Bishops illicitly ordained by Archbishop Lefebvre. With this decision I intended to remove an impediment that might have jeopardized the opening of a door to dialogue and thereby to invite the Bishops and the "Society of St. Pius X" to rediscover the path to full communion with the Church​.  As I explained in my Letter to the Catholic Bishops of last 10 March, the remission of the excommu...

+ JMJ This is a long look back that was brought on by contemplating going to the 50th Anniversary of the SSPX in Lourdes! P^3 Courtesy of SSPX.org SSPX's founding documents Below are the English translations of the 3 founding documents for the Society of St. Pius X, of which the originals can be viewed here (in French and Latin). The first is from the local ordinary of the diocese where Archbishop Lefebvre first opened a house of studies in Fribourg, Switzerland (where the seminarians were attending the still-conservative diocesan University of Fribourg). The second is the Fribourg's bishop's approval of the SSPX's Statutes composed by Archbishop Lefebvre, and thus permission to erect the Priestly Society of St. Pius X as a pious union of priests in the diocese, originally for an experimental period as is customary with newly-established religious congregations. The third is the canonical approval from the Holy See (the Congregation o...

+ JMJ I'm looking forward to seeing what the Canadian district has in mind for a pilgrimage! It would also be great if Bishop Williamson would swallow his pride and ask to be re-admitted to the SSPX.

According to the decision made by its Superior General, Fr. Davide Pagliarani, it will celebrate its golden jubilee in Lourdes, during the international pilgrimage for Christ the King, on October 24, 25, & 26, 2020. Already in 2008, the 20th anniversary of the episcopal consecrations was celebrated in this Marian city. The announcement of this golden jubilee is the occasion of remembering the close ties that united St. Pius X to Lourd...

+ JMJ So the Amazon.Com synod is finally over and Chris Ferrara has a piece over on Fatima Org. ... as always it is worth reading ( Source: Fatima.Org ). I have pulled out a couple of the key points that seem to summarise the issue... Well, the English/French “small group” relatio , prepared by Pope Francis’ handpicked subversives, whose work will be passed off as “the voice of the Spirit,” has provided a window onto the synodal proceedings that confirms our worst expectations:  they intend to wreck not only the priesthood, but literally whatever is left of traditional Catholicism in the already terminally dysfunctional “Church of Vatican II.” Oh yes, there will still be ordained priests in this proposed new Church.  But they will be married, and the deacons ordained to assist them will be women.  The deal is done, barring divine intervention. Get ready to duck the latest swing of the post-conciliar wrecking ball as it levels the remains of...

+ JMJ In reality the principle of separation of Church and State is a principle that separates the state from reality. Just label something as a 'religious' opinion and suddenly it is banned from public life. Scientifically we know that a Fetus (latin for Baby) is a human baby from a human father and mother. We know that killing innocents is murder We know that abortion is the deliberate pre-meditated killing of an innocent and is therefore murder. To slice through the gordian knot, we just have to science based decision making and recognised legally that a baby in the womb is a human being. Then the fantasy house of cards will come tumbling down.

+ JMJ While the idolatry caught the attention of masses,  the 'mass' that was presented was worse because it was sacrilegious. P^3 Courtesy of FSSPX.news On Saturday, October 12, 2019, a ceremony was held in the church of Santa Maria in Traspontina that caused a lot of reaction, especially due to the presence of the Pachamama statues. Further reaction was caused because of the strange decorations that were installed there and the dances that took place. As several in the media have pointed out, this ceremony was in fact the celebration of an Amazonian rite, that of the “Mass of the Earth without Evil” ( Missa Da Terra sem Males ), a work composed by Bishop Pedro Casaldáliga. The Author Bishop Casaldáliga was born on February 16, 1928 in Spain. He entered the congregation of the Missionary Sons of the Immaculate Heart of Mary, founded by St. Anthony Mary Claret. Ordained a priest in 1952, he was appointed bishop of the diocese of São...
