Basically, it seems as if S/S will make any possible excuse for Paul VI, John Paul II, and Ben XVI in order to uphold Francis' claim to the papacy.
After an exchange between Fr. Chazal and Robert Siscoe, here is a response by Fr. Chazal to ideas brought up by Siscoe/Salza in their book, True or False Pope? Needless to say, knowing the haughtiness of the Salza/Siscoe team, the challenge went unanswered. I have included my own commentary on each section in the bolden text. Here we can find some valuable distinctions between the various positions.
Here is Fr. Chazal's letter:Yet i fear our disputations with sedevacantists are going to be all the more endless if:1) We deny the emergence of a Newchurch. SVs [Sedevacantists] go too far, et Novus Ordo est "Coetus disgregatus, nova doctrina, novis sacramentis sub nova notione auctoritatis". We cannot say that this newchurch is fully realised like the SV claim, but we cannot deny it is really emerging heterogeneously. [Also] you are afraid of us saying the Catholic Church is a new church, when in reality we can say that within the Official Church, growing parts are morphing into this cancerous newchuch. The crucial mistake of Bishop Fellay is to confuse the hijacked official church with the Catholic Church.Dr. Chojnowski: Analysis: Here Fr. Chazal is distinguishing his position from the Sedevacantists and Siscoe/Salza and Bishop Fellay's. With regard to "NewChurch": Chazal: NewChurch is like a cancer taking over the body of the Official Church, but no NewChurch yet; Siscoe/Salza: Refuse to say there is a NewChurch; SVs say that a NewChurch is already in. place; SSPX: Official Church is the Catholic Church. 2) We are uncomfortable with separating with the new church (p.312). Those who separated with Nestorius did not start a parallel Patriarchate like the SV would have done. They saw the crime, took distance, raised the alarm and obtained Nestorius to be taken down just as we hope Pope Francis will be taken down. SV give up the idea of taking them down because they don't "take them up". Nemo dat quod non habet, nemo aufert quod non adest. What we say to Francis is just that: "You are a disgrace to your office, you will be taken down." It happens all the time in civilian life.
Dr. Chojnowski: I believe that a pope cannot be "taken down" if he is pope. Such, to me, is an example of the Heresy of Conciliarism. I cannot see how this is a "to be hoped for" action. Fr. Chazal seems to say that Siscoe would agree with him on this point. One question, if your work is to "get rid of Francis" why so much effort to show that he is legitimate?
3) We fail to specify that the N.O. jurisdiction is impounded (not suppressed), "vi haeresi" (p.68). If a heretical bishop awaits the judicial declaration of his crime, it is unwise to heed to his guidance unless we are ignorant of what he is doing, like the vast majority of Filipinos here. What emanates from the Novus Ordo is much more than imprudent acts or practices that don't contradict the Faith directly (p.469-472), but thousand coordinated little cuts that kill just as surely as a battleaxe facial blow. I could concede [very hard, but i' ll try] the cuts are small, but they are not uncoordinated, they don t come in an isolated and innocuous way... millions got deceived, misled away from eternal salvation. The back hand indirect blow sure did the kill. Give the Devil his due, He is the indirect dude.
Dr. Chojnowski: I do not understand the difference between jurisdiction being "impounded" but "not suppressed".
4) We praise conservative Cardinals "who are valiantly standing up" (p.471), who are in fact still saying the new mass and still have not declared Francis a heretic, something that, as Cardinals, they are qualified to do. Cardinals and Bishops began to assemble against Honorius, Paschal II, and John XXII for much less than we see now. Did they react to Lund in Sweden? to Assisi IV? Why do they reserve some microscopic courage on "moral issues"?
Dr. Chojnowski: It seems that Siscoe is among the Remnant, Neo-Fatima Center, Neo-Catholic Family News people who see the "Great White Hope" as Cardinal Burke. Fr. Chazal is much more critical of the Cardinal. I believe he is a Modernist heretic who is deceiving members of the Church into accepting the Conciliar Church, Vatican II, and St. John Paul II. Michael Matt just said in an article posted yesterday that getting Papa Burke would take a miracle from God. He must be accepting Francis's view that God is not all-powerful, no?
5) We praise Mgr Gamber (p.498) who denies the link of Sacrosanctum Concilium and the new mass and upholds the new mass still. Anyone who reads the Vatican II decree can see the germs are all planted by the Council, especially the use of the vernacular (#36) and the subcontracting of liturgical demolition to episcopal conferences and "experts" among plenty other timebombs.
6) We start recognizing some novus ordo canonizations (p. 116 and p. 304 "blessed" Pope Pius IX), especially as we correctly accuse Fr Cekada of picking and choosing his Holy Week, despite the decree of Pius XII.The new procedure is flawed and cannot be infallible because it does not emanate from the Vatican as you justly point out. We are not going to help SVs if we start agreeing with what we disagree with in the novus ordo, for St Paul VI's sake's!
Dr. Chojnowski: It is not the procedure that makes a claim of infallibility. It is the pronouncement of the pope that the person is a saint that is infallible. When they use the same formula, how can we arbitrarily say that it is not infallible? When they use the same formula for all of their "canonizations" how can we judge yes, no, or maybe? To avoid such guessing is PRECISELY the purpose of canonizations.
.7 We hold that "Man has a right to religious liberty and freedom of conscience" as a perfectly orthodox term. Provisions, conditions and caveats, won't change the fact that Religious Liberty is a condemned error, and the term designates that specific error condemned in the syllabus, just like Protestantism designates the error of Luther, and Modernism the heresy of the Modernists. As we don't have the liberty to choose a religion, let us not use a terminology that implies that error by the force of repetition and propaganda. These terms do not include of themselves the choice of the truth either, and truth is not an object of will or choice but of intellect. There is a philosophical flaw in the very term of "religious liberty".
Dr. Chojnowski: So its seems here that Siscoe/Salza agree with the heresy of "religious liberty." How can this be possible when you are claiming the mantle of Archbishop Lefebvre? I helped edit the English edition of the Archbishop's Dubia sent to Rome about the Religious Liberty teaching of Vatican II. It was a HUGE thing for him, clearly. From the text here, it seems as if Fr. Chazal agrees with the traditional condemnation of religious liberty. Knowing him, I could not imagine him endorsing something that the SSPX has always condemned.
.8 We say that the nauseating praise for false religions is not a denial of the Catholic Faith as the only true religion. The problem is that Vatican II says other religions are true religions, nay "means of salvation" instead as "gates of Hell" as Our Lord says. Look up "Nostra Aetate" ... Buddhism leads to "perfect liberation" and "supreme illumination". Same with P6, JP2, B16,and F0: they joined acts to words, exactly to tell that indeed other religions are truly true and valid forms of salvation. When did we last hear from them that Hindus, Bhuddists, Muslims, Protestants and Orthodox are lost in their false religions? NEVER.
Dr. Chojnowski: if Salza/Siscoe say that the Modernists praise for false religions is not a denial of the Catholic Faith as the only true religion, you have to question their intellectual honesty and wonder what their agenda is. Fr. Chazal is perfectly correct when he points out that Vatican II and the post-conciliar Modernists teach that non-Catholic religions are means of salvation. I challenge Robert Siscoe to publicly say that putting Buddha on the tabernacle in St. Peter's in Assisi was NOT a public act of apostasy because it was SPECIFICALLY ALLOWED AND FACILITATED BY "St." John Paul II. Excuse me for the harsh tone, this kind of thing really gets me mad.
.9 We say that John Paul II could have meant "all men are saved potentially" in his many "universal salvation" statements (p. 186). The opening paragraphs of "Redemptor Hominis" leave no place for such caveats.
Dr. Chojnowski: Robert Siscoe, read Fr. Johannes Dormann's books on the heresy of Universal Salvation in the writings of John Paul II. AS PUBLISHED BY ANGELUS PRESS. If Siscoe said this, he is being intentionally dense. I will leave other items, but you probably got the idea: This is not going to help sedevacantists to get out of the mire and undermines the hard work you have put out otherwise. SVs are naturally appalled at the novusordo church and half measures against it. You are getting nowhere if you are trying to minimize things that can't be minimized.Let us not fear to call the current Pope a heretic, since, by your own competent observation ours is a private legitimate opinion based on facts, while we lack to see him judged of the crime of heresy by a declaratory sentence.If you want someone to be tried for murder, you are entitled to think he is a murderer, and, if you saw his crime, say he is a murderer, all the way until the court declares it as well.Moreover, how can we help SVs by saying that SVs embrace schism and come under the anathema of Constantinople IV. They don't have a properly working papacy to schismatize from in the first place, and like them we are private individuals upholding our (well founded) private solution. When God restores the situation in Rome, soon, the chips will fall. Right now the SVs are in danger of schism at the most, while only a few of them say that they are the Church. And they do not err by saying that heresy has no place in the Church. Many of them take their faith seriously and have not turned liberal in the meantime. Let us reasonably hope that only a few will fall into schism.I am afraid of adulation if i fail to let you know this beforehand, and unlike a sedevacantist of the angry type i look forward hearing your rebuttal, because we are all seeking the best solution to the crisis in these dark times.
