SSPX superior: The Synod is a ‘diabolical reversal of the Gospel’

    The head of the SSPX has renewed the traditionalist founder’s criticism of the Second Vatican Council, describing the Synod on Synodality as a continuation of the Council and a “diabolical reversal of the Gospel itself.”

    Today, Father Davide Pagliarani, the Superior General of the Society of St. Pius X, together with his two General Assistants, published a message (full text below) in remembrance and honor of SSPX founder Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre’s 1974 statement that was to become the mission statement of this priestly fraternity that now has more than 700 priests around the world.

    In this new message, Pagliarani reaffirms the charism and original mission of the Society of St. Pius X as expressed by Archbishop Lefebvre in 1974. Lefebvre’s statement at the time was a rejection of some of the reforms of the Second Vatican Council and an announcement that his society would be refusing to “follow the Rome of neo-Modernist and neo-Protestant tendencies which were clearly evident in the Second Vatican Council and, after the Council, in all the reforms which issued from it.”

    According to the archbishop, these reforms “have contributed and are still contributing to the destruction of the Church, to the ruin of the priesthood, to the abolition of the Sacrifice of the Mass and of the sacraments, to the disappearance of religious life, to a naturalist and Teilhardian teaching in universities, seminaries and catechectics; a teaching derived from Liberalism and Protestantism, many times condemned by the solemn Magisterium of the Church.”

    As Pagliarani explains in his new message, this battle is “a doctrinal battle, against a clearly identified enemy: the reforms of the Council, presented as a poisoned entity, conceived in error and leading to error.” He shows how the 1974 statement by Lefebvre calls into question the Council’s “fundamental spirit” and “consequently everything that this spirit produced.”

    • Wow. I can't remember the last time that Fr. Pagliarani said anything about the Council or the Modernists. Maybe Pope Francis has gone too far, even for the SSPX.

    • They talk to the right but they walk to the left, as Bishop Williamson says.

    The very title of the article on the SSPX website is a lie: "1974 – 2024 “SEMPER IDEM”. No, things are not at all the same in the SSPX, as we have progressively witnessed over the last 12 years.

    One obvious example: just imagine for one moment, if you possibly can, Archbishop Lefebvre treating the conversion to tradition of a high up Roman like Archbishop Vigano with almost complete disregard. That alone condemns today's SSPX. They would rather fraternise with Pope Francis and his friends like Bishop Huonder than a hero of the faith like Archbishop Vigano who truly echoed the 1974 declaration of Archbishop Lefebvre before his more recent slide towards sedevacantism.

    The revolution of the 2012 General Chapter, where the 2006 Chapter resolution of no practical agreement with modernist Rome without doctrinal agreement was overturned, stands to this day. The shameful conditions for such a practical agreement without conversion of Rome are still in place waiting to take the SSPX into the Synodal Church that they pretend to condemn. It truly is hypocrisy.

    Here is an analysis from nonpossumus, https://nonpossumus-vcr.blogspot.com/: I will post it as a separate thread also:


    ABOUT THE GLORIOUS DECLARATION OF THE FSSPX OF 21ST NOVEMBER






    Beware of the ferment of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy (Luke 12:1).

    The glorious statement "1974 - 2024 Semper idem" made by the leadership of the Fraternity yesterday November 21, is perfectly denied by various proven facts that manifest the split between the words and the acts that take place in Neo-Fraternity since at least 2012, and among which stand out, in recent years, the shameful affaire Huonder and the infamous agreement between the Fraternity and the Vatican on marriages stand out. "Semper idem".
    This blog has docuмented more than enough how the head of the FSSPX has betrayed and continues to betray Monsignor Lefebvre; however, in this passage, the editors of the statement show proud presumption: The Fraternity could not deviate a bit... They claim that it is created, against palmary evidence, that the Fraternity has never deviated a bit: "semper idem."
    The betrayal of the FSSPX to Monsignor Lefebvre has been to seek to be regularized by liberal and modernist Rome, ceding in doctrine. Therefore, and among other things, in many priories it is now badly seen to preach manly against the demolishing Francis (who, by the way, is not mentioned once in the glorious statement) and many good priests are afraid to speak as in the early days of the congregation, in the face of the possibility of reprisals on the part of the authority. "Semper idem".
    The FSSPX's road to Rome has been bumpy and today is at a standstill. It is not impossible that the periodic announcements and rumors about the consecration of bishops in the Fraternity are really directed to the Vatican and not to the faithful of the congregation, as part of a strategy of pressure on Rome to unblock the negotiations.

    As we know, in 2012 the Fraternity, although semper idem, was about to succuмb, to get under the power of the pope. In this regard, an illustrative and unpublished anecdote of the P. Brihwiler SAJM (Swiss priest expelled from the FSSPX):
    "In April 2012, Father Schmidberger told me in Stuttgart (he called me after my Sunday sermon in Hagstedt and Hannover): Listen, Father, our Fraternity will receive from Rome einen Mantelvertrag, that is, favorable conditions with which our statutes are to be adapted in July 2012..., ... and Monsignor Fellay will be the prelate (1) until the end of his life."
    Mr. Sean Johnson of the United States, in the year 2021, wrote a book of almost 400 pages entitled “As we are? 101 compromises, changes and contradictions of an FSSPX in search of a practical agreement with modernist Rome” (2). 101 compromises, changes and contradictions! Semper idem?
    1: Superior of the personal prelature in which, according to the secret plans of Rome and Mgr. Fellay, the FSSPX was to be converted.
    2: Ebook here, pdf in link at the bottom of this page, and you can also read the changes here).
    Post scriptum: a reader priest tells us: "Mgr. Lefebvre does not mention the Fraternity once in its 1974 statement (that is why it can be signed by any Catholic of Tradition not linked to the FSSPX), while Pagliarani only in the first paragraph mentions the word Fraternity three times. It's all they think about.
