  • Extracts from the conference given by Bishop Fellay on March 1st in Nantes (western France):

    From 1:45:15 to 1:47:30:

    "Ne vous laissez pas émotionner par ces bruits. Actuellement c'est très très clair qu'il y en a qui essayent de faire sauter la Fraternité. Il y a quelque chose de subversif. Je ne sais pas combien ils sont. Mais vraiment ils essayent de mettre la méfiance envers les autorités. Ils essayent de troubler et je peux vous assurer : c'est un mouvement révolutionnaire. Ils veulent essayer de casser la Fraternité. Bien sûr on ne va pas se laisser faire. Aussi ne vous laissez pas troubler par ces espèces de lettres anonymes, même si on vous dit tout d'un coup par la Sapinière : 37 prêtres de la Fraternité auraient écrit une lettre. Elle est anonyme d'abord, alors qu'ils le prouvent, qu'ils le montrent. On pense nous que c'est pas vrai tout simplement. Ce sont justement des mouvements subversifs. On essaye de déstabiliser les gens. Ne vous laissez pas faire. Ne courez pas après ces bruits sur l'Internet. Sachez que c'est vraiment l'instrument du diable cet Internet. On peut faire des bonnes choses mais l'ennemi est toujours plus malin que nous et on est toujours un pas derrière. On essaie de faire quelque chose avec, on essaie de se défendre, mais je considère ça plutôt comme un mal nécessaire qu'autre chose. Si vous pouvez vous en passer, passez-vous en, et évitez ces choses là. Dans nos statuts, Mgr Lefebvre disait une très très belle chose, il disait : "notre télévision, c'est le tabernacle". Il est beaucoup plus réel. Là il y a les vraies choses qui se passent. C'est un peu plus silencieux mais c'est autrement plus riche et les vraies nouvelles on les apprend là, beaucoup mieux, beaucoup plus profondément."

    Translation into English :

    "Don't let yourself be affected by those noises. Currently, this is very very clear that some people want to have the Society blown up. There is something subversive. I don't know how many they are. But they truly want to put mistrust towards the authorities. They try to set confusion and I can assure you: this is a revolutionary movement. They want to break the Society. Of course, we will not let that go. So, don't let yourself get unsettled by those kinds of anonymous letters, even if all of a sudden, you are told by La Sapinière : 37 Society priests would have written a letter. First, it is anonymous : so let them prove so, let them show it [that it is written by SSPX priests]. We do think it is simply not true. This is just subversive movements. They try to destabilize people. Don't let yourself abused. Don't look for those noises onto the Internet. You got to know that this is truly the instrument of the devil. One can do good things with it but the enemy is always slier than we are, and we are always one sted behind. We try to do something with it, we try to defend ourselves, but I consider it rather as a necessary evil than anything else. If you can go without it, then go without it and avoid those things. In our statutes, Archbishop Lefebvre said a very very beautiful thing, he said: "our television, this is our tabernacle". It is much more real. There, the true things happen. This is a little bit more silent but this is richer and we learn the true news there, in a much better way and much deep down."

  • If there weren't 37 priests against what is being done, then one would have to question why they had chosen to join the SSPX in the first place.

  • Notice how +Fellay doesn't actually answer the letter at all, but just dismisses it as the product of a "subversive movement." He couldn't have cemented distrust of his actions at a worse time! Poor SSPX and especially poor +Fellay!! He's committed to having the deal, whether or not Rome converts, even though Archbishop Lefebvre recognized his error before the 1988 consecrations!

    Yes, Bishop Fellay could have also taken less time in his "brow beating" to just say that the contents of the Letter "is not true" and "restore order".  -But he didn't!  

    Therefore, it remains that the contents of the Letter is True, and his "brow beating" is an undue cover-up.

    So who is the one that is the cause of destabilizing...?

    If a family is destabilized in the way it operates...it comes back to the head.
