If the other 3 Bishops don't recognise 'Masonic Rome' then why did they sign a letter to 'Masonic Rome' asking for there excommunications to be lifted by 'Masonic Rome'?
I didn't say they didn't recognize the Pope. You can certainly ask someone you disapprove of to remove an injustice. As for claiming they asked for the "excommunications to be lifted" - that's not technically true, because they didn't believe they were legitimately excommunicated. They asked the supposed excommunications be declared null.
The Vatican is still the same masonic lodge it was when Archbishop said it was. And now we see priests like Father Celier having their books introduced with the author Maxence who writes for a Grand Orient Fɾҽҽmαsσɳɾყ journal.
For Bishop Fellay to be approved by modernist Rome he's giving them a great deal. More than he ever has to publicly admit to giving. And it's obvious what he's giving from the change in tenor of society preaching and writings. That some people are willfully blind to this reality doesn't change the reality.
Is that being selective or what? Archbishop Lefebvre himself never acknowledge these 'communications' as being just or binding in the first place. Did they betray Archbishop Lefebvre and 'Sell out' the SSPX by that act?
And neither did the three bishops. Didn't you just read Bishop Fellay quoted as saying Vatican II can be seen as part of the tradition of the Church, the problem is in application? That he approves of 95% of it?
The sad thing is, we should have understood what his equivocation, his double-talk, from the moment he first said the Jews were our "Elder Brothers." That was the first and most critical sign of submission. The recognition he's now giving to Vatican II is more of a technicality.
Why did they not protest against the doctrinal discussions with 'Masonic Rome'?
Didn't Bishop Tissier say the object was to convert Rome?
Now we've heard from some that the intention was never to reach agreement?!
As for putting "masonic rome" in quotes, that is the phrase Archbishop Lefebvre used. And even Bishop Fellay has spoken of Freemasons in the Vatican. I think he mentioned four lodges?
Archbishop Lefebvre always acknowledge the See of Rome and the authority it had over him and his work. He only refused to acknowledge any unjust wish asked of him, namely to accept Vat II and New Mass as being part of the Catholic faith.
He said that the "excommunications" were the same being excommunicated from a masonic Lodge.
Keep in mind that the Archbishop was at VII and worked for it.
I think today's Trad's try to appeal to the Archbishop as though was opposed to having his work recognized when the contrary is evident both from his words and actions.
I think that modernists and their apologists are the ones who try to rewrite history.
