This Archbishop shows more courage, conviction and love of the Church than all the current SSPX leadership and "conservative" bishops and cardinals together. God bless him!
That's an interesting take. What makes you say that?
The SSPX seems as muffled as the FSSP. Cardinal Burke speaks bravely: "The Pope is harming the Church” and the next day or so he says: "I don't ever put myself in opposition to the successor of St. Peter". Now he says that he "will resist" Francis. Let's pray for that! But they always measure the risks they are willing to take. Archbishop Lenga seems ready to suffer the consequences:
I am aware of possible reactions to my open letter. But at the same time the voice of my conscience will not allow me to remain silent, while the work of God is being slandered. Jesus Christ founded the Catholic Church and showed us in word and deed how one should fulfill the will of God. The apostles to whom He bestowed authority in the Church, fulfilled with zeal the duty entrusted to them, suffering for the sake of the truth which had to be preached, since they “obeyed God rather than men”.
If more bishops and cardinals openly resisted Francis now, there may be some hope of stopping the wreckage.
