RORATE EXCLUSIVE
Video of Franciscans of the Immaculate Seminary the day it was shuttered by Commissioner Volpi
When will the mainstream media demand answers?
On December 8, 2013, the Feast of the Immaculate Conception, the the Theological Seminary of the Immaculate Mediatrix (STIM) of the Franciscans of the Immaculate (FI) was closed by their Apostolic Commissioner, Fr. Fidenzio Volpi. On the same day, one of the friars filmed the entire day, which presents the way of life in that same seminary.
Volpi meets with Pope Francis the day the seminary was closed.
This footage was then kept in secret, witness of something no longer tolerable to those in power, unseen until now.
In this Year of the Consecrated Life, on the Feast of the Purification, which is seen as the Feast of the Consecrated Life, Rorate has obtained this video exclusively, making public a contradiction that has been hidden up to now for the safety of those involved.
With all the problems and scandals in the religious life in our times, which seem to be deemed praiseworthy by the highest authorities, what you'll see in this video is what they find so unacceptable, so horrific, so dangerous that it had to be stomped out and crushed as "specifically ordered by the Vicar of Christ," Pope Francis.
Punishment and suppression -- and with no trial.
But perhaps our Lady, on her feastday, is offering a vision very different to that which seems to dominate presently in the Church -- a vision of the consecrated life which is, as Simeon says of Christ, a sign of contradiction.
A great number of the friars seen in this film have had to flee after the closing of the seminary, having found themselves in a new atmosphere of doctrinal corruption and moral relaxation, of the disintegration of the religious observance they had avowed themselves to maintain on pain of grave sin.
We say "flee" because it's true. We hear from numerous FI saying how they are in danger, how another Friar they know will speak with us "once they're safe" meaning in a new diocese with a friendly bishop. You'd think they were fleeing 16th Century England and the Tower -- but this form of priest hunting is so much more dangerous as it comes from within.
Watch the video. Spread it far and wide. And pray to our Lady today to make good of this nightmare and grant these good men peace at last.

I guess some of them had the true faith and that is why they are being persecuted.

They are being persecuted for their "crypto-lefebvrian and definitely traditionalist drift", but the SSPX think that won't happen to them?
I'm not fond of "conservatives". They are probably more responsible than anyone for the current situation by going along. They are ungrateful of the work traditionalists have done since VII. They think it was their "patience" that brought about the deceptive Summorum Pontificuм. But it pains me to see any group persecuted for trying to live the Catholic faith. That is the only crime left in the Modernist book.
I read an interesting quote yesterday:
And don’t tell me you don’t wish to fight, for the moment you tell me that, you are already fighting. Nor that you don’t know which side to join; for while you are saying that, you have already joined a side. Nor that you wish to remain neutral; for while you are thinking to be so, you are so no longer. Nor that you want to be indifferent; for I will laugh at you, because on pronouncing that word you have already chosen your party. Don’t tire yourself seeking a place of security against the chances of war, for you tire yourself in vain; that war is extended as far as space and prolonged through all time. In eternity alone… can you find rest, because there alone there is no combat. But do not imagine, however, that the gates of eternity shall be opened for you, unless you first show the wounds you bear. Those gates are only opened for those who gloriously fought here the battles of the Lord Crucified!

The Franciscans Friars of the Immaculate are new to persecution by the authorities, so it is unsurprising, if most unfortunate, that they cave under pressure. It is the right of all priests to offer the true Mass exclusively, and no one can be bound to celebrate the Mass in any form other than that prescribed by Quo Primum. Pope St. Pius V already assures all Catholics, in that irreformable decree, which codifies the immemorial Tradition in the Roman rite, "in virtue of Our Apostolic authority, We grant and concede in perpetuity that, for the chanting or reading of the Mass in any church whatsoever, this Missal is hereafter to be followed absolutely, without any scruple of conscience or fear of incurring any penalty, judgment, or censure, and may freely and lawfully be used. Nor are superiors, administrators, canons, chaplains, and other secular priests, or religious, of whatever title designated, obliged to celebrate the Mass otherwise than as enjoined by Us. We likewise declare and ordain that no one whosoever is forced or coerced to alter this Missal, and that this present docuмent cannot be revoked or modified, but remain always valid". So no one can be forced or coerced under any threat of censure to alter or modify it.
This was conceded by Rome (http://www.catholicculture.org/culture/library/view.cfm?recnum=7729), even before Summorum Pontificuм, " In 1986 Pope John Paul II appointed a commission of nine cardinals to examine the legal status of the Old Mass ... The nine cardinals unanimously determined that Pope Paul VI never gave the bishops the authority to forbid priest from celebrating Mass according to the Missal of St Pius V." Holding to this firmly, they should take an oath similar to that which SSPX priests have taken, "I shall never celebrate the Holy Mass according to this new rite, even if I am threatened with ecclesiastical sanctions" and allow the chips to fall where they may.
