  • Latest letter from Fr. Daniel Couture, Asian District Superior:
    http://www.sspxasia.com/2013_Year_of_Arch_Lefebvre.pdf

    Some notable parts from the letter:

    "It is sad observation that he is not well known among our people: few of our Asian faithful have read his biography, or carefully studied his books."

    "He sought this Divine Will through his superiors, in all the echelons of the Church, for the 14 or 15 various assignments he held in his life. He sought it exclusively when it was time to stand up and be counted for the fight for the honor and rights of Our Lord Jesus Christ. The first skirmishes of this fight were already in the mid-1940s, after his return to France, to Mortain, when, still a simple priest, he noticed and wrote against the false theories of Fr. De Lubac on
    salvation. He made himself visible again in the fight when, now as an archbishop, he officially approved the book “Pour Qu’Il Règne” (“That He May Reign”), on the Social Kingship of Christ, in 1959, a book the French Bishops would not endorse. This was soon followed, in 1963, by another clash with the French hierarchy on the wearing of the cassock: the Archbishop explaining to the members of the Holy Ghost Fathers the need to wear it for various reasons, both as a protection for the priest and a witness to the Church and to Our Lord Jesus Christ; and the French bishops allowing their priests to discard it to be closer to the world."

    "As I am writing to you, I have been given permission from Fr. De Cacqueray, the SSPX French District Superior, to do an Asian version of the beautiful film/docuмentary on the Archbishop: Monseigneur Lefebvre, Un évêque dans la tempête—A Bishop in the Storm , which has just come out in French and is being shown now publically in various places in French speaking parts of Europe. I plan to have it dubbed professionally in Japanese, Korean, Chinese, Tamil and Vietnamese, and perhaps in Indonesian. Let us organize public viewing in our mass centers and even elsewhere to restore the honor of this heroic man."
