Notes:
What is the Catholic Faith? (Answers question with examples,
compared to several false religions)
Sacred Scripture and Sacred Tradition are equally valid; these
are both of equal authority and are both necessary to define the
Faith.
{I have heard several Catholic priests say that this Catholic
principle of the equivalent authority of Tradition and the Bible is
the primary difficulty that protestants have against the Church.}Whatever departs in any way from the same sense, meaning and
doctrine, it's no good.
Giving blessed salt to a baby in Baptism is not in the Bible -- but
it comes right to us from the Apostles, and is part of Tradition.
Our Lord was proud and angry when it came to defending the
Faith against the abuse of the money changers in the temple.
Likewise ABL was a gentle person but when it came to
defending the Faith against Liberals he became a LION.
Liberals are the opposite: they are very soft on principles but
very cruel to the people, for example, supporting abortion of a
baby in its mothers womb and killing the aged in euthanasia.
The Virgin Mary warned us about this time of apostasy in the
Church, the loss of the Faith, the destruction of the True Mass
and how Catholic traditionals would be reduced to a few
pockets, here and there throughout the world; while most of
the bishops, most of the people, will go with the flow of the
New World Religion. And the new, universal religion is all
about"l-u-v" - it doesn't matter what you believe, just love one
another and just be 'sincere'. But Our Lord didn't say that. Our
Lord said, "Love one another as I have loved you."
And Charity rejoices with the truth, the True Religion.
So, for example, Pope Francis, with all the scandals, and God
was not pleased with these [World] Youth Day 'masses', so He
rained it out in Rio de Janeiro, and God was not pleased with
those Assisi gatherings, so He allowed that earthquake in the
'80s to do serious damage to the church where the ecuмenical
meeting took place.
But at these ecuмenical meetings, the Pope should be telling
these youth the way to heaven, how to save their soul, what
they must believe to save their soul, but none of that, it's all
Rock n' Roll 'music' and it's foul, immorality, beyond belief,
something comparable to a hippie festival, Woodstock, horrible
-- and then not to mention, you just hope those 'masses' are
not valid, because the hosts are given out like candy, out of
plastic bags and passed around - horrible things, at a "papal
mass."
...
St. Robert Southwell
[c. 1520 - 1559, Poet, Jesuit, martyr] wrote
a letter to faithful Catholics ... it's the Latin Mass anyway, it's
the traditional vestments anyway, and everything is the same
-- they're still even singing Gregorian Chant! What's wrong
with that? The problem was, the FAITH was changed!
What's the problem with going to the Orthodox? Russian
Orthodox, Byzantine Orthodox, Ukranian Orthodox -- they have
all the valid Mass, with traditional vesments, their singing far
outdoes many of our chapels - and the incense smells better!
But what's wrong? The don't have the Faith! They reject the
primacy of Peter, they reject that the Holy Ghost proceeds from
the Father and the Son -- and with the Catholic Faith, you've
gotta accept the whole thing, or it's nothing!
The Catholic Faith, as explained by one person in a class to
little kids, it's like a balloon; as long as everything's there, it
holds, but when you poke out one article of the Faith, one
doctrine, and PFFFFT! The whole thing is gone.
Why is the Faith so serious? ... Why should we even care?
What's the big deal?
The new religion of the modern man is that there is no true
religion. Religion is for the birds. Religion, at most, is a nice
sedative to control people when something bad happens.
For Communists, they said, well, for religion, we won't crush
it all down, because for most people, it's a good opiate for
the people.
But what did Jesus Christ say, who is truly the Son of God
-- if you don't believe, you will be condemned (cf. Mk. xvi.
16). Those are heavy words. Those words cut to the heart
of each soul.
{15 "And he said to them: Go ye into the whole world, and
preach the gospel to every creature. 16 He that believeth
and is baptized, shall be saved, but he that believeth not
shall be condemned" (Mk. xvi. 15-16). Why not just quote
Scripture as it is written? Is there some problem with reading
the words Our Lord spoke and thinking about them?}If I do not believe the truth of the Catholic Faith, in all that
Christ taught, I cannot go to heaven. And that's why, whatever
puts the Faith in danger, becomes an alarm! And that's why,
for example, when Bishop Fellay released the General Chapter
statement, and then later
[released] the Six Conditions, and
then later, was publicly known
[it was LEAKED without his
permission or approval, and he was FURIOUS about it!] the
April Fifteenth Docuмent
[April Fifteenth Declaration, or AFD
of 2012], and then also, the new docuмent of June 27th
declaration
[the Silver Anniversary (6-29-2013) Re-Declaration
(SARD)], all of it is an unbelievable compromise of the Faith.
It puts the Catholic Faith in grave danger. Because once you
accept Vat.II, you're gone. Once you swallow that poison,
you're gone. Once you get that spiritual AIDS, injected into
the bloodstream,
You're dead.
{Note: the timing of these docuмents -- and the fact that
only the GC Statement (WITHOUT the 6 Conditions) and the
SARD were released at the time of their composition, while
the other two, first the 6 Conditions and later the AFD
(although the AFD was never willingly released but only
became known because it had been leaked), were made
public much later, as if HEBF was convinced that the
Faithful (and the Society priests, whose cooperation he so
much needs like a narcotic addict) were not yet somehow
ready for their content. Additionally, while the 6
Conditions were 'let out of their cage' a few weeks after
the Chapter, once the media attention on the GC had
settled down or whatever else had transpired in those
weeks, the AFD on the other hand, was never willingly
released by HEBF or his denizens (if any of them had
done so, you can be sure that +F would have had their
head(s) on a platter!), and therefore we would have to
ask why that would have been the case. Don't forget the
surreptitious manner in which HEBF has attempted to
whitewash or backpedal this: first by claiming that he
had long ago rescinded this erstwhile pronouncement
of his former beliefs on August 28th, 2012, verbally (and
therefore not verifiable!) to Msgr. di Noia, and then later,
to a small group of vulnerable Faithful in Ireland at a
little conference that was not recorded or stenographed
and therefore not verifiable except by the recollection
of the vulnerable witnesses (any one of whom might well
have fallen asleep during any of +F's interminable 3-hour
soliloquies!). One must ponder the implications of this
reticence and overt reluctance to communicate openly
the aims and intentions into which the Society has been
drawn as if it were a fish being lured onto a hook!}And that's what's officially happened on July 14th, 2012, for
the SSPX. And was the Faith put in danger? You bet it was!
Accepting the Newmass, Newcode, Vat.II and the so-called
(inaudible - "ledger?") There should have been resistance all
over the world! --From the bishops, priests, and all the
Faithful!
{Again, what are we to think about this??? Note:
Fr. Hewko objectively said "April 14th" but it seems he had
meant to say "April 15th." Even so, he has not mentioned
that there was a meeting on the 14th with +F and +W and
some others, in which HEBF assured them that he was not
going to make any overtures of compromise with apostate
Rome, but then, the very next day, IN SECRET, he proceeded
to do JUST THAT! In Other Words (IOW) he generated a
docuмent, his AFD, one day after he said he was not going
to do any such thing, but this AFD is obviously a work that
could have taken several MONTHS to compose, especially
in light of the fact that it is obviously composed by several
different people, or, at least by one person working on it
with large amounts of time -- perhaps days or even weeks
-- between not only various paragraphs but within some of
the paragraphs themselves. THEREFORE, there is practically
no way that HEBF could have had no knowledge of this
AFD on the 14th, except for one possibility: He was given
this AFD by someone ELSE whom he has not identified,
someone who CONTROLS him, and someone who did not
bother to make sure the text was adequately worded so
as to exhibit proper grammar and consistency of
composition, otherwise.HEBF would have to have A) had
the meeting on the 14th, B) received the AFD from some
fourth party in draft form after the 14th meeting, C) had
quickly modified it overnight, so as to be ready to D)
send it off, signed and sealed, to apostate Rome on the
15th, that is, the next day (which in the USA is known as
National Extortion Day, because Income Taxes are due.}But what happened? The old trick of the Modernists: for
example, Pope Paul VI, in the Mass, in Vat.ii they had the
docuмent on religious liberty, totally opposed by Catholic
Traditon, condemned by all the popes -- what did Pope
Paul VI do? The Modernists told him, Hey, write a little
sentence at the end that nothing contained in here is against
Catholic Tradition. Just put that sentence in. And Pope Paul
VI approved, an so, all the would-be resistors in the Council,
said, Okay, well, all right, that sentence says there's nothing
here against Tradition, so, all right, I won't vote against it.
And that one deadly sentence overturned it.
And that's how the Modernists work, and that's how any
resistance has been quelled in the last year, with
docuмents that say, well, don't worry, we're not against --
nothing has changed. You've heard that one. 'Nothing has
changed, everything's the same.' It's not true.
And another one is the June 27th Declaration [SARD], which
on first reading sounds okay, it sounds, well, okay, like
what the old SSPX used to say, but it's got a lot of loopholes,
and it's deadly! [Should call it THE DEADLY SARD] It might
even be MORE deadly than the AFD, April Fifteenth
docuмent [Declaration], because it really fastens down the
New Direction of the SSPX.
And because it puts the
Faith in danger, and it compromises on huge errors that
attacks Christ the King, we must resist, and we have
a duty before God to do so. And if any of you were asked to sign this docuмent of
April Fifteenth (AFD), sign your name to it, and the General
Chapter Statement and the Six Conditions, sign your name
to it, either that or death, you would have to choose
martyrdom! You'd have to! Because you can't sign
something that puts the Faith in danger.
28:30
So, listen to St. Robert Southwell. He's talking to these
good, traditional Catholics who were being told by the
current of the world to go with you know, the whole
protestant revolution.
First he says, be consoled...
It's a good sign that they're targets of the devil...
When people say you're fanatics, nothing is changed...
What brings us here? We didn't ask to be in this situation?
Why only one bishop, only one speaking out?
God chastises those he loves...
But God gives them the grace to suffer...
The pleasures of this world can lull you to sleep...
The Internet life, Hollywood world... no resistance to error...
It's a blessing for us to have this crisis now, to wean us off...
How do you recognize Christ? On the Cross! ...
...The silence which is poison and a betrayal to Christ,
where vice is advanced, virtue is scorned, the bad are
rewarded and the good are oppressed. Be encouraged,
true Catholics, because you carry the trophy, the mark of
Our Lord... Opprobrium, rejection, hotel Masses, garage Masses, and
this is just the way it is. 35 years ago, where were
traditional Catholics 35 years ago? In hotels. 40 years
ago? In hotels. That's where they had to go to Mass.
