| Clint said: | Here is the bottom line of yesterday's sermon, Sunday June 10, 2012, in Sanford, Florida:
We must obey authority.
If we don't obey we are disobedient, and will be in schism
We must obey the authority, which is only the Superior General
The three other bishops have no authority, they have the same authority as any common priest in the SSPX
Abp. Lefevbre separated from Rome because Rome would not accept the SSPX.
Now if Rome accepts us, we must obey the Superior General and return.
END.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
This sermon is exactly what any Novus Ordo priest or Bishop would have delivered in 1988 when the Abp. was excomminicated. Here it is again, but as it would have been said by any Novus Ordo clergy in 1988, with the Pope replacing Bishop Fellay, and Abp. Lefevbre replacing the 3 bishops:
We must obey authority.
If we don't obey we are disobedient, and will be in schism
We must obey the authority, which is only the Pope
Abp. Lefevbre has no authority, he has the same authority as any common priest
-----------------------------------------------------------
Additional comment:
Abp. Lefevbre DID NOT "separate from Rome because Rome would not accept the SSPX". He separated from Rome because hierarchy in Rome separated from the faith. The same hierarchy remains in Rome, NOTHING HAS CHANGED!

Obedience is to GOD. Prayer is to GOD. Alms are to GOD.
Therefore so long as our Clergy is Of GOD and Not of Man - we owe them our Obedience - take one step away from GOD and with it goes the reason for obedience - which of course , is why we are not Novus ordo.

We continue to fight, of course, but let's face it: It doesn't look rosy at all.
| Quote: | | A letter from three of the Bishops is now in the public domain. How can they change their mind? |
The pressure is very high. And let's not forget that the devil is behind the sellout to Newrome. He got his very own repertoire of tricks.
| Quote: | | I remain confident in Bishop Tissier. |
The point is, the two or three bishops who will remain firm, have no practical say in the society.
The younger priests have systematically been alienated to Bishop Williamson by the leadership, and this bishop is the heart of the resistance.
The 2009 Sweden interview and the Krahgate underlined how the absolute majority of priests just fell over when there was opposing wind. And now the wind is stronger.
So, I believe Menzingen has the green light, and they know their subordinates are mostly yes-men (can't decide if 80% or 90% of them).
There's only a future for the SSPX, when Menzingen's entire staff is thrown out!
But who could do this?
So, short of a miracle, the situation of the SSPX is terrible.
Back on topic: I got the "Bp.Fellay's recent DICI interview"-lecture-sermon on Sunday. Luckily I had read it before and in particular John Lane's analysis of it.

Judging from how Menzingen is prepared for its move into the conciliar camp (something it accused Campos and Stronsay of doing), I suspect it will now accept any conditions to become 'regularised'. Rome will certainly pile on the pressure knowing how eager the Society is to submit.
