"An Open Letter to Bishop Clarence Kelly on the Thuc Bishops and the Errors in The Sacred and the Profane" by Mario Derksen has been posted at http://www.thucbishops.com/ .

The docuмent, which is a thorough study of Catholic principles, is 101 pages in length. A summary of the major points can be found on pages 62-66 of the docuмent and is also available for download as a separate file.

It is hoped that Bp. Kelly and his SSPV/CSPV clergy will seriously examine this powerful refutation of their position and either retract their errors or at least address the different arguments made against them in a sincere and honest manner.

This docuмent has been published for the greater glory of God and to advance the cause of the salvation of souls. It is NOT written in a spirit of vengeance or anger, and is not meant to divide but to unite all sedevacantist Roman Catholics.

In 1937, Pope Pius XI wrote:

"To all Our children . . . We make another and more urgent appeal for union. Many times Our paternal heart has been saddened by the divergencies—often idle in their causes, always tragic in their consequences—which array in opposing camps the sons of the same Mother Church. Thus it is that the radicals, who are not so very numerous, profiting by this discord are able to make it more acute, and end by pitting Catholics one against the other. . . . Those who make a practice of spreading dissension among Catholics assume a terrible responsibility before God and the Church." (Encyclical "Divini Redemptoris," par. 71)

I hope that my contribution will help to overcome all unnecessary obstacles. Let us finally stop the silly divisions and work for the conversion and salvation of sinners!

Feedback, if sincere and thoughtful, is welcome.

I have only read the summary, but it looks like a very scrupulously and charitably crafted letter.

Is there any hope for a public response to this Letter?

Because I can find only two open quotes and no closed quotes I am completely baffled over what is part of the letter, and what is commentary by the OP.

Or does M. Derksen=Umblehay?

I beg your pardon, I was able to find some quote closings, but I am still a little confused about who is saying what.

Sorry about that, I didn't explain; the original post above is the text of the email that Mario sent me and I think I accidentally copied the subject line with the title of the letter in quotes.

Also, Mario wants it well known that if anyone detects any thing they believe is in error to please contact him so he can make corrections if needed. He said he is going to add a section to that website where he will post any rebuttals he recieves and his reply.
