In an interview last Saturday, Bishop Fellay discusses some recent developments in the Society's relations with the Roman authorities.

Quote

In an interview with Fideliter in 2001, you mentioned the "movement of profound sympathy from the young clergy for the Society." Has this movement grown, especially with the motu proprio in 2007?

"Without a doubt! The motu proprio gave this movement a new impetus. And it is important to insist upon Benedict XVI's interest for the liturgy in general. He truly wished to put the entire traditional liturgy, not only the Mass, at the disposition of the priests and the faithful; this did not happen because there was too much opposition. But the young priests identify with this liturgy, precisely because it is timeless. The Church lives in eternity. The liturgy does also too, which is why it is always young. Close to God, it is outside of time. So it is no surprise that the baptismal character makes this harmony resound even in souls that have never known the liturgy. And the way the young priests react when they discover this liturgy is moving: they have the impression a treasure has been hidden from them." ...

He also said this:

"The Society's weaknesses? The risk of separation is serious. Look at the caricature of Tradition that calls itself the "Resistance", for example: it is a non-Catholic spirit that is almost sectarian. We wish to have nothing to do with it; it is a movement that is withdrawn into itself, with people who think that they are the only good and just men on earth: that is not Catholic. It is an objective, but relative danger. Most of the Society is healthy and will not fall into these illusions. This encourages us to rely upon supernatural means. God will show us what He wants of us; He will speak through circuмstances."

The "Holy sinner Church". Even Novus Ordo clergy have denounced this position here in Brazil, and Brazil has the biggest bunch of fruit loop liberals.

Sounds a lot like JP2.

By the way, has anybody asked Bishop Fellay lately if he considers JP 2 a saint?

This wasn't an English interview, correct?
I presume when he refers to the "risk of separation" he's speaking of SSPX & Rome.

There are many things wrong with this quote, but the only comment I have time to make is that perhaps God is speaking through circuмstances. People are leaving the SSPX in every direction and a solid number of those who stay do so because they don't see themselves as having any other options.

Quote from: Bellator Dei

From the interview...

Quote from: Bishop Fellay
To be more precise, we must avoid the caricature of wishing for a Church without wrinkles or stains here below: that is not what the good Lord promised us on this earth. That is not what the 'Holy Church' means; it means that she is capable of sanctifying using the means given by Our Lord: the sacraments, the Faith, discipline, religious life, the life of prayer.

Oh boy.... Is he preaching the "subsists in" theology of the new church religion?

"...wishing for a Church without wrinkles or stains..."

What? Don't we already have a Catholic Church, free from wrinkles or stains, free from contamination, incorrupt?

Quote from: Pope Pius XI, Mortalium Animos

During the lapse of centuries, the mystical Spouse of Christ has never been contaminated, nor can she ever in the future be contaminated, as Cyprian bears witness: ‘The Bride of Christ cannot be made false to her Spouse: she is incorrupt and modest. She knows but one dwelling, she guards the sanctity of the nuptial chamber chastely and modestly.'

Quote from: Pope St. Siricius

And so He has wished the beauty of the Church, whose spouse He is, to radiate with the splendor of chastity, so that on the day of judgment, when He will have come again, He may be able to find her without spot or wrinkle [Eph. 5:27] as He instituted her through His apostle.

Quote from: Second Council of Nicea

…Christ our God, when He took for His Bride His Holy Catholic Church, having no blemish or wrinkle, promised he would guard her and assured His holy disciples saying, I am with you every day until the consummation of the world.

What Church is Bishop Fellay referring to? Certainly not the Catholic Church...

+Fellay sounds like a true son of Francis. He has forgotten his spiritual father, ABL.
