  • The NSSPX skillfully sidesteps the fact that this is an ecuмenical day of prayer and fasting by appealing:

    Quote
    ...we appreciate the invitation to pray and fast and we hope that not only Catholics but everyone may respond to the Pope's call by praying to Our Lord Jesus Christ and His Virgin Mother.


    Also, would the SSPX of Archbishop Lefebvre be producing excerpts sermons from new-popes to edify the faithful?  I doubt it.

    I'm glad it's not on a Friday, I wouldn't want to give anyone the impression that I hold the same faith as Francis or that I follow his command.

    The man doesn't care a wink about fasting.  If he did, he'd introduce the Catholic disciplines of fasting and abstinence to the Conciliar Church.

    Just more humanitarian concerns from the humanitarian head of the Humanitarian Church.
    "Be kind; do not seek the malicious satisfaction of having discovered an additional enemy to the Church... And, above all, be scrupulously truthful. To all, friends and foes alike, give that serious attention which does not misrepresent any opinion, does not distort any statement, does not mutilate any quotation. We need not fear to serve the cause of Christ less efficiently by putting on His spirit". (Vermeersch, 1913).

    Today is First Saturday, so it's probably OK with Our Lady of Fatima?

    Are you questioning his creativity ?

    "Some preachers will keep silence about the truth, and others will trample it underfoot and deny it. Sanctity of life will be held in derision even by those who outwardly profess it, for in those days Our Lord Jesus Christ will send them not a true Pastor but a destroyer."  St. Francis of Assisi
