When the Society printed a pamphlet entitled "True Obedience" it made the point that as long as
Rome was disobedient to tradition (which ended with the death of the apostle St. John for everyone's edification) then the correct response of the faithful was to be disobedient to disobedience.  This action would make us obedient to the will of God.  Now a religious member of any society makes the vows of poverty, chastity and obedience to a religious superior who stands in for the Rector Major or Superior General.  This act is a solemn act but it also presents the religious with a threefold freedom.
 
First, the religious is free from the concern for money since the congregation assumes his keep and
cares for his specific needs.  Second, he is free from the drive to procreate in a physical manner and
enters into a spiritual procreation by saving souls for the kingdom of God.  Thirdly, he is free from
following his own will in the matters that concern the apostolate.  He is sent as the apostles were sent in order to do the will of God expressed through the legitimate superior.  There is one exception - obedience does not make us robots to the rule but independent priests and brothers who follow the will of the superior when that will is in union with the purpose of God.  If an action of the superior is contrary to the will of God we must refuse to obey and choose rather the will of God.
 
Now we have a situation in which priests of the Pius X Society have been silenced, punished, and expelled for speaking out in conscience concerning a matter that can influence the souls of many of the faithful.  They have clearly declared their conscientious objections in a docuмent in order to alert the superiors and the faithful of a matter of grave importance.
 
Now this is not new but it has come to a head at this time.  When the Society took up the task of
dialoguing with the modernist theologians of Rome, danger was apparent but the secrecy of the
whole proceedings kept everyone in the dark concerning the matters discussed and the purpose
of the discussions.  Archbishop Lefebve learned through experience that he could not deal with a Rome that embraced heresies.  Rome of 2012 continues in that mode of action and has not returned to the faith of our fathers.  Therefore we should not deal with them.  We should carry on the work of the Lord faithfully and pray for the return of faith to Rome.
 
Yet we know that Our Lady has told us time and time again that Rome would go under the red flag and that apostasy would reach the very pinnacle of power everywhere.  Humbly bowing to the wisdom and words of our dear Mother we respectfully refrain from any connection with the poison of Rome.  Hence priests like Fr. Joseph Pfeiffer, Fr. Chazell, Fr. Hewko, and others have sounded the alarm of their conscience in order to preserve the society that they love.  Instead of being applauded for their sensitivity and concern, they are treated as criminals.
 
Silencing the messengers in this instance is tantamount to a crucifixion of good and sincere priests and sends the message that one cannot deviate from some new and novel way of thinking in the society.  These priests have stated a message that came directly from their founder and they are expelled.  Would that the good Archbishop might rise from his grave and call the superiors back to their sworn duty to preserve the holy priesthood, the faith and to resist the errors present in the Conciliar Church.
 
The faithful are now experiencing a new mode of speaking from the pulpits.  There is a disastrous pride that inundates the very minds of the local superiors.  No longer is the fatherliness of the good Archbishop treasured and lived out.  Now the mighty hand of power crushes any expression that they consider contrary to the new policies in relation to Rome.
 
Our Lord was very clear "As you sow, thus you shall reap."  If you sow the seeds of fear, you will reap a communist society.  St. Paul's letter to the Corinthians gives the principle of Catholic Leadership in chapter 13.   Love is patient; love is kind; love does not rejoice in error but in truth.  Do we, the faithful, find this being lived in houses like Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of God in Syracuse under the dictatorship of Fr. Stanich[?]  Do we find the regional superior as a kindly father or is he a heavy handed tyrant who brooks no resistance?  What do we find in our various parishes and chapels?  Is there a new attitude since these discussions?
 
For the love of our good priests and the love of the society let us return to the spirit of the wonderful Archbishop who gave us the guidelines to follow in reference to Rome.  Simply stated:  carry on without Rome and save the souls our Lady sends to our chapels and grow in divine, sacrificial, victimal love.
 
Reinstate our good priests and return to the battle in a unity of divine love.
 
In the hearts of Jesus, Mary and Joseph,
 
 
Fr. Richard Voigt

+“ONLY SHE CAN HELP YOU”+

Vienna, Virginia, 10th August 2012 Priest Meeting.

 

TODAY'S SITUATION

 
1.        The Society of St. Pius X declaration of July 14th, 2012, while proclaiming the notion of the Divinity of Christ and His Kingship, actually moves in the opposite direction by using ambiguous language and by preparing to place the SSPX under the authorities of “the Rome of neo-Modernist and neo-Protestant tendencies.”(1974 Declaration)
2.      There has been a longtime slide in the SSPX towards Vatican II and a growing silence about Novus Ordo scandals against the Faith.
3.      There is an illusion that one can join the Vatican II Church without accepting Vatican II.
4.      There is a need to assure souls that the combat for Catholic Tradition, maintained by Archbishop Lefebvre against Modernist Rome, will continue.
5.      A new attitude favoring compromise has infected the leadership of the SSPX.
6.      This new attitude now prevails in publications, websites, seminaries and pulpits.
7.      The priests who resist this new attitude are being punished or threatened with punishment and in all cases are being silenced. The present crisis demands a public response of priests and faithful against this compromise with Modernist Rome.
8.      Many priests are personally disillusioned with Menzingen for doctrinal reasons but are unsure, cowed or do not know what to do.
9.      Many independent priests trust the SSPX less and less. They hope to pass on their parishes to doctrinally reliable priests.
10.  There is a replacement of the original Fatima solution, which is the consecration of Russia by the pope united with the bishops, by a belief that the SSPX can negotiate Modernist Rome back to the Catholic Faith.
11.  The imprudent and reckless willingness to agree to a “suitable condition” of abandoning the flock to the “wolves” of the diocesan bishops.
 

DECLARATION

 
   The heart of the Faith is the Divinity of Christ and his Kingship over all nations: “Oportet illum regnare”. The errors of Vatican II are an indirect attack against his Divinity and a direct attack on his Social Kingship. They will forever remain the Revolution of 1789 within the Church.
 
   Today's Vatican has only changed for the worse since the Council (more damage, more new heresies, more effective semi-modernism), to such an extent that we can repeat the Archbishop's words of 1974 and 1976: “The Church that affirms such errors is at once schismatic and heretical. This Conciliar Church is therefore not Catholic. To whatever extent Pope, bishops, priests or faithful adhere to this new Church, they separate themselves from the Catholic Church.” (June 29, 1976)
   The Pope has allowed the True Mass, but only within the Pantheon of modernist liturgies. Further, he has made clear his espousing of the false doctrine of Religious Liberty by preaching it to be the model of how the Church and State are to relate one to another. Lastly the doctrine of Ecuмenism has been widely and consistently professed by the Pontiff in his visits to protestant temples, ѕуηαgσgυєs and mosques and Assisi III confirms that the spirit of Assisi is alive and well. It was this spirit that moved the Archbishop to undertake an “Operation Survival”, that is now itself in great peril.
 
   Today's SSPX clearly wants to place itself under this Conciliar Church, mitigates the poison of Vatican II, is more and more silent in face of the abuses by the conciliar hierarchy, uses ambiguous language referring to two opposite Magisteria. At the same time that it is ever ready to believe in a constant debate with obdurate Roman officials, it uses strong arm tactics toward those standing against wicked reconciliation.
   We must wait for Our Lady to convert the Pope and inspire him to consecrate Russia to her Immaculate Heart in union with all the bishops and we must persevere in the Charity of the Truth and the Truth of Charity, organized in a united corps of priests faithful to the position always maintained by Archbishop Lefebvre.
