Sean Johnson chimes in:(oops, I posted this in the wrong place. Still, it helps to show the SSPX's new orientation, so I'll leave a copy here.)Friends-
Fr. Paul Robinson (SSPX) has recently written a book titled "
The Realist Guide for Religion and Science," for which some information can be gleaned from this website promoting the book:
https://therealistguide.com/ On the following link, you can read an unbelievable 2-page Foreword, which seems to partially rehabilitate JPII, BXVI, Francis, and the deceased modernist Fr. Stanley Jaki as "moderate realists."

Never mind that BXVI was primarily a Hegelian.
Never mind that Francis (Francis!) is completely a-systemic, and the Foreword quotes him thusly:
"Pope Francis has also affirmed that realities are more important than ideas, and this flows from the doctrine of the Incarnation."
Let that quote, coming from an SSPX-promoted book, sink in: "
Realities are more important than ideas."
This is the pollution coming from Bishop Fellay's
ralliement: A practical accord (i.e., a reality) is more important than doctrine (i.e., ideas).
SSPX priests are being infected by their Superior General, and Fr. Robinson very obviously wanted to show the Vatican just how open the new SSPX is to conciliarist modernism.
And the deceased Fr. Stanley Jaki (whose organization has written this Foreword for Fr. Robinson)?
A thorough modernist, for whom science was superior to religion, having made many statements which implicitly deny the possibility of true miracles, such as this one regarding the miracle of the sun at Fatima:
"According to St. Thomas Aquinas a miracle in the strict sense is 'something done outside the order of the entire created universe.' According to Jaki, the fact that the event occurred and still inspires the faithful to this day is the greater miracle." http://www.catholicstand.com/fr-stanley-jaki-on-the-fatima-miracle/
And in Jaki's introduction to the English-language translation of Abbe Augustin Barruel's masterpiece "
Memoirs Illustrating the History of Jacobinism" (which Weishaupt's conspiracy against altar, throne, and society), he makes this bewildering statement:
"The teaching of Thomas Aquinas and of Bellarmine, that the people were the ultimate source on earth of political authority and power, was not something that Barruel would fully appreciate." (p. xiv)
Some of you in this email are quite well read on St. Thomas Aquinas, and I should be extremely surprised if he ever taught such a thing!
Nonetheless, these are the people Fr. Robinson wants to promote his book: All of them conciliarist modernists to the man.
Obviously, the neo-SSPX is losing its mind (and its faith).
As time marches on, you can expect much more of this. It is only natural.
Cardinal Cottier would be quite pleased to see the "progress" Menzingen is making towards conciliarism, as he once counseled regarding Campos: "What is important is that there no longer be rejection in their hearts...we must be patient...gradually, we must expect additional steps, like concelebration...reconciliation carries within itself its own internal dynamism [self-censorship]."
Indeed it does, and Fr. Robinson's book is one more piece of evidence of that "dynamism."
